A generate–endgenerate construct (similar to VHDL's generate–endgenerate) allows Verilog-2001 to control instance and statement instantiation through normal decision operators (case–if–else). Using generate–endgenerate, Verilog-2001 can instantiate an array of instances, with control over the connectivity of the individual instances.
Classical Verilog permitted only one dimension to be declared to the left of the variable name. SystemVerilog permits any number of such "packed" dimensions. A variable of packed array type maps 1:1 onto an integer arithmetic quantity. In the example above, each element of my_pack may be used in expressions as a six-bit integer. The dimensions ...
Register-transfer-level abstraction is used in hardware description languages (HDLs) like Verilog and VHDL to create high-level representations of a circuit, from which lower-level representations and ultimately actual wiring can be derived. Design at the RTL level is typical practice in modern digital design.
Flow to HDL tools and methods convert flow-based system design into a hardware description language (HDL) such as VHDL or Verilog.Typically this is a method of creating designs for field-programmable gate array, application-specific integrated circuit prototyping and digital signal processing (DSP) design.
Initially the RTL description in VHDL or Verilog is simulated by creating test benches to simulate the system and observe results. Then, after the synthesis engine has mapped the design to a netlist, the netlist is translated to a gate-level description where simulation is repeated to confirm the synthesis proceeded without errors.
Dynamic classes are labeled with the keyword 'struct'. Structs are used for creating data that only exists temporarily and may be cleaned by the garbage collector. Static classes are labeled with the keyword 'unit'. Units are used for creating the permanent testbench structure. A class may contain fields, methods, ports and constraints.
The Verilog Procedural Interface (VPI), originally known as PLI 2.0, is an interface primarily intended for the C programming language.It allows behavioral Verilog code to invoke C functions, and C functions to invoke standard Verilog system tasks.
Verilog-AMS is a derivative of the Verilog hardware description language that includes Analog and Mixed-Signal extensions (AMS) in order to define the behavior of analog and mixed-signal systems. It extends the event-based simulator loops of Verilog/ SystemVerilog / VHDL , by a continuous-time simulator, which solves the differential equations ...
