修订标准-已被取代。 采用IEEE标准1076-2008。定义了VHSIC硬件描述语言（VHDL）。VHDL是一种正式的符号，用于创建电子系统的所有阶段。因为它是机器可读和人类可读的，所以它支持硬件设计的开发、验证、合成和测试；硬件设计数据的通信；以及硬件的维护、修改和采购。它的主要受众是支持该语言的工具的实现者和该语言的高级用户。 （被IEEE C95.1-2019取代）

Revision Standard - Superseded. Adoption of IEEE Std 1076-2008. VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL) is defined. VHDL is a formal notation intended for use in all phases of the creation of electronic systems. Because it is both machine readable and human readable, it supports the development, verification, synthesis, and testing of hardware designs; the communication of hardware design data; and the maintenance, modification, and procurement of hardware. Its primary audiences are the implementors of tools supporting the language and the advanced users of the language. (Superseded by IEEE C95.1-2019)
