Applications 2

Exercise 1

design source file for the 1 bit adder

• New Verilog HDL File
• module moduleName endmodule
• module pins: input and output
• multibit vectors [msb:lsb]
• behavioral description with assign

testbench source file for the adder

• New Verilog HDL File
• module moduleName_tb endmodule
• the testbench module has no pins!
• declare logic variables reg varName
• wire declarations, mandatory for multibit outputs
• instantiation moduleName instanceName Usualy, the top-level design module instantiated in the testbench is named dut (device under test)
• connections connect testbench variables to instance pins: .modulePin(varName)

generate stimuli for dut

• initial
• begin/end if more than one instruction in a block
• assignments varName=value
• literals, decimal literals, binary literals
• delay #delayValue

Exercise 2

design source file for the 2 by 2 bit multiplier

• operators in expressions

testbench source file for the 2 by 2 bit multiplier

• use control instructions repeat (nrOfIterations)
• parallel initial blocks

Exercise 3

design source file for top-level entity Multilevel hierarchy. Mixed description: top-level - structural description, low-level - behavioral description.

• same module type, different instance names
• internal wires for interinstance connections

testbench source file for the top-level entity

• concatenation operator {varName1, varName2, ...}
• $monitor(%b...,varName1,...)
• format specifiers %b for binary (logic) values, %d for decimal values
