Verilog is a hardware description language (HDL) used to design digital circuits for FPGAs, ASICs, and embedded systems. Engineers write Verilog code that describes how a circuit behaves; synthesis tools translate that code into actual circuits (gate-level implementations or FPGA configurations). Verilog makes it possible to design complex circuits (processors, memory controllers, signal processors) with millions of transistors. Verilog is the industry-standard HDL (alongside VHDL and SystemVerilog). Proficiency in Verilog is essential for anyone building hardware, whether for startups prototyping on FPGAs or large semiconductor companies designing chips.
