Study Notes
Verilog Data Types
- reg: Logic storage variable, can hold values 0, 1, X (unknown), and Z (high impedance)
- integer: 32-bit variable holding whole numbers between + and - 2,147,483,684
- real: 64-bit floating point variable between - and + 2.2x10^308
- time: Unsigned 64-bit values from 0 to 9.2x10^18
- realtime: Same as "time" but for readability purposes
- Vectors: One-dimensional arrays of elements; can be of any net data type, including "reg"; follow convention that LSB index starts at zero
- Arrays: Multidimensional arrays of elements, can be considered "vectors of vectors"; vectors within the array have the same dimensions
- Number Bases in Verilog: Numbers are treated as integers by default; numbers can be defined in different bases using syntax
Verilog Module and Constructs
- Verilog design is described in a single file with "*.v" extension
- System description is contained within a module
- Module includes system interface (inputs and outputs) and behavior description using Verilog code
Verilog Assignments
- Structural Description: Uses interconnection of basic circuit elements (logic gates)
- Behavioral Description: Defines behavior of logic circuits using Verilog code; includes ports, inputs, outputs, and statements
- Hierarchical Assignments: A design can be structured hierarchically with multiple modules, where lower-level modules are instantiated within higher-level modules
- Continuous Assignments: Outputs of lower-level modules are continuously assigned to nets in a higher-level module, allowing interconnectivity between modules
Verilog Examples
- Half Adder: Adds two bits and outputs the sum and carry
- Full Adder: Uses two Half Adders to implement a full adder with a carry-in input
-
Always Block: A procedure for behavioral description; uses
beginandendkeywords; can have multiple within a module - Triggers: Sensitivity list triggers the execution of the always block based on input changes
Verilog timescale and defaultnettype
-
timescale: Defines the timescale of the delay unit and its precision. -
defaultnettype: Overwrites the default type for implicitly declared nets; used outside of modules.
