Verilog Intro: Part 2

1. Verilog Intro: Part 2

2. Procedural Blocks • There are two types of procedural blocks in Verilog. • initial for single-pass behavior : initial blocks execute only once at time zero (start execution at time zero). • always for cyclic behavior: always blocks loop to execute over and over again, in other words as name means, it executes always. • Procedural assignment may only appear in initial and always constructs. • The initial and always constructs are used to model sequential logic. • Continuous statement is used to model combinational logic.

3. Initial Block • General Form initial begin //Procedural assignment statements end • Example : Initial begin clock = 1'b0; repeat (30) #10 clock = ~clock; end The initial block is executed at time 0. Initial block just execute all the statements within begin and end statements.

4. Example: Always Block • General Form: always @ (event control expression) begin //Procedural assignment statements that execute //when the condition is met end • Example: always @ (A or B or C) always @(posedge clock or negedge reset) //Verilog 1995 always @(posedge clock, negedge reset)//Verilog 2001, 2005

5. Control Constructs • Control Constructs • Can be used in the procedural sections of code. • Selection • if statement: if (A == 4) begin B = 2; end else begin B = 4; end • case statements: case (<expression>) <value1>: <statement> <value2>: <statement> default: <statement> endcase

6. Example: Case Statement case (select) 2’b00: q = d[0]; 2’b01: q = d[1]; 2’b10: q = d[2]; 2’b11: q = d[3]; endcase

7. Repetition • // for loop for(i = 0; i < 10; i = i + 1) begin $display(“i = %d", i); end • //while loop i = 0; while(i < 10) begin $display(“i = %d", i); i = i + 1; end • // repeat loop repeat (5) //repeats the block 5 times, begin $display(“i = %d", i); i = i + 1; end

8. Blocking and Non-blocking Procedural Assignments • The blocking assignment statement (= operator) acts much like in traditional programming languages. Blocking statement must complete execute before the next statement in the behavior can execute. • The non-blocking (<= operator) evaluates all the right-hand sides for the current time unit and assigns the left-hand sides at the end of the time unit. Non-blocking assignment statements execute concurrently rather than sequentially.

9. D-Flip Flops • // D flip-flop without reset module D-FF (Q, D, Clk); output Q; input D, Clk; reg Q; always @ (posedge Clk) Q <= D; endmodule • // D flipflop with asynchronous reset (V2001, V2005) module DFF (output reg Q, Q_b, input D, Clk, rst); always @ (posedge Clk, negedge rst) if(~rst) // Same as: if (rst == 0) begin Q <= 1'b0; Q_b <=1'b1; end else begin Q <= D; Q_b <=~D; end endmodule

10. T flip-flop using D flip-flop • //T flip-flop from D flip-flop and gates module TFF (Q, Q_b, T, Clk, rst); output Q, Q_b; input T, Clk, rst; wire DT; assign DT=Q^T; // Instantiate the D flip-flop DFF TF1 (Q, Q_b,DT, Clk, rst); endmodule

11. JK flip-flop using D flip-flop • // JK flip-flop from D flip-flop and gates module JKFF (output Q, Q_b, input J, K, clk, rst); wire JK; assign JK = (J & ~Q) | (~ K & Q); // Instantiate D flip-flop DFF JK1 (Q, Q_b, JK, clk, rst); endmodule

12. Behavioral Description of JK flip-flop • // Functional description of JK flip-flop module JK_FF (input J, K, Clk, output reg Q, output Q_b); assign Q_b = ~Q ; always @ (posedge Clk) case ({J,K}) 2'b00: Q <= Q; 2'b01: Q <= 1'b0; 2'b10: Q <= 1'b1; 2'b11: Q <= ~Q; endcase endmodule

13. Behavioral Description of JK flip-flop • // Functional description of JK flip-flop module JK_FF (input J, K, Clk, output reg Q, output Q_b); assign Q_b = ~Q ; initial Q = 0; always @ (posedge Clk) case ({J,K}) 2'b00: Q <= Q; 2'b01: Q <= 1'b0; 2'b10: Q <= 1'b1; 2'b11: Q <= ~Q; endcase endmodule
