1-DFF
A D flip-flop is a digital circuit that stores one bit of data. It has a data input (D), a clock input
(CLK), an optional reset input (RST), and an optional enable input (EN). The flip-flop changes its
output state (Q) to match the D input when the clock transitions from low to high (on the rising
edge). The reset and enable inputs control the flip-flop's behavior, allowing it to be reset to a
specific state or disabled from updating its output. D flip-flops are commonly used in digital
systems for data storage and synchronization.
Initially, rst is set to 1, which resets the flip-flop (q=0) while keeping clk, en, and d at 0.
The clock (clk) toggles every 5 time units, causing the flip-flop to sample the input d and update q.
After a delay of 10 time units (#10 d=1), d is set to 1. Since en=1, the flip-flop samples this value on
the next positive edge of clk.
After another delay of 10 time units (#10 en=0), en is set to 0, disabling the flip-flop from further
updates.
d is then set to 0 (#10 d=0), but since en=0, this change doesn't affect the output q.
Finish Simulation:
The waveform should show q transitioning from 0 to 1 when d changes to 1, and then staying at 1
when d changes to 0, all while en is active.
2-T FF
A T flip-flop is a type of digital circuit that toggles its output state based on the clock input. It has a
single input (T) called the toggle input, a clock input (CLK), and an output (Q). When the clock
signal transitions from low to high (on the rising edge), the output Q toggles to the complement of
its previous state if T is high (1), or stays the same if T is low (0). T flip-flops are often used in
counters and frequency dividers.
This Verilog code defines a T flip-flop with synchronous reset (rst) and clock (clk) inputs. The
output q toggles its state when the input t is asserted (1) on the rising edge of the clock. The
complementary output qb is also generated.
Initially, rst is set to 1, which resets the flip-flop (q=0) while keeping clk and t at 0.
qb is the complement of q.
The clock clk toggles every 5 time units, causing the flip-flop to sample the t input and update q.
Finish Simulation:
The waveform should show q toggling its state whenever t transitions from 0 to 1, with qb being
the inverse of q.
3- 4-bit Synchronous Loadable Up Counter
A 4-bit synchronous loadable up counter is a digital circuit that counts in binary from 0000 to 1111
(0 to 15) in sequence. It has four input lines for loading a specific count value (load inputs), a clock
input (CLK) for advancing the count, and an optional synchronous reset input (RST) for resetting
the count to 0000. The counter increments its count by 1 on each rising edge of the clock input,
unless a specific count value is loaded into it. When a load signal is asserted, the counter's current
count is replaced with the value present on the load inputs on the next clock edge. This type of
counter is widely used in digital systems for various applications such as frequency division,
address generation, and control sequencing.
The waveform for this 4-bit synchronous loadable up counter testbench can be explained as
follows:
Initially, reset is set to 1, which resets the counter (count) to 0000 while keeping clk, load, and
data at 0.
After a delay of 10 time units (#10 reset = 0;), reset is deasserted (reset = 0).
At time 30, load is set to 1, loading the value 1001 (9 in binary) into the counter.
Similar to Test Case 1, the counter increments from 9 to 15 after loading the value 1111 (15 in
binary).
After reaching 15, the counter loads the value 0001 (1 in binary) and continues counting down to
1.
The clock clk toggles every 5 time units, causing the counter to increment or load a new value.
Finish Simulation:
The simulation stops ($stop) after the test cases are completed.
The waveform should show the counter's output q changing as it counts up and loads new values,
demonstrating the functionality of the synchronous loadable up counter.
4- JK Flip Flop
A JK flip-flop is a sequential logic circuit that stores one bit of data and can toggle its output based
on its inputs. It has two inputs, J (set) and K (reset), and two outputs, Q and Q̅ (Q-bar). The J and K
inputs determine the behavior of the flip-flop:
JK flip-flops are edge-triggered, meaning they only change their state on a clock edge (rising or
falling). They are widely used in digital circuits for counters, shift registers, and memory elements
Here's an explanation of the waveform for the provided JK flip-flop and its testbench:
Initialization (rst=1):
This configuration is the "no change" condition for a JK flip-flop, so the output remains unchanged.
This configuration sets the output Q to 1 (since J=1), regardless of the previous state.
This configuration toggles the output Q (since J=1 and K=1), so Q becomes 0 (complement of
previous state).
After this sequence, the simulation continues, but the flip-flop behavior repeats because the
inputs J and K go through the same sequence again.
The waveform shows the changes in the inputs (J, K, clk, rst) and the corresponding outputs (Q,
QB) over time, illustrating the behavior of the JK flip-flop.
5- 4-bit modulo 12 up counter
A 4-bit modulo-12 up counter is a digital circuit that counts in binary from 0 to 11 (which is 12 in
decimal), and then resets back to 0. It has 4 flip-flops, each representing a bit in the count
sequence. When the counter reaches the count of 11 (1011 in binary), it resets to 0 (0000) on the
next clock cycle.
0000 (0)
0001 (1)
0010 (2)
...
1010 (10)
1011 (11)
0000 (reset)
This type of counter is often used in digital systems where you need to count events up to a
certain number before resetting, such as in timers, frequency dividers, or certain types of control
logic.
This Verilog code describes a modulo-12 up counter. It has a clock input clk, a reset input rst, a
load input load, a 4-bit input in, and a 4-bit output out.
When load is high and the input in is less than or equal to 1011 (11 in binary), the counter loads
the value of in.
Initially, clk, rst, and load are low, and in is 0000. Thus, out is also 0000.
At time 0, rst goes high for one clock cycle and then goes low, resetting the counter to 0000.
At time 20, load goes high, and in is loaded with 0001, causing out to be 0001.
The counter then increments on each clock cycle until it reaches 1011 (11 in decimal), at which
point it resets to 0000 and continues counting up again.
This process repeats, and you can observe the counter counting from 0000 to 1011 repeatedly in
the waveform.
A 4-bit loadable binary synchronous up-down counter is a digital circuit that can count up or down
based on the control input and can also be loaded with a specific value. It has four flip-flops, each
representing a bit in the count sequence. The counter can count up or down by 1 on each clock
cycle, or it can load a specific value into its count register.
Here are the key features of a 4-bit loadable binary synchronous up-down counter:
Loadable: It can be loaded with a specific value through the input pins.
Synchronous: The counter changes its state (counts up, counts down, or loads) synchronously with
the clock signal. This means the state changes occur at a specific edge of the clock signal (e.g.,
rising or falling edge).
Up-Down Capability: It can count up or down based on the control input. When the control input
is set to count up, the counter increments by 1 on each clock cycle. When set to count down, it
decrements by 1 on each clock cycle.
In summary, a 4-bit loadable binary synchronous up-down counter is a versatile digital circuit
commonly used in various applications where you need to count up or down and have the
flexibility to load a specific value into the counter.
This module has four control inputs (clk, rst, load, dir) and a 4-bit input in. It also has a 4-bit output
out, which represents the current count value. The counter behaves as follows:
Otherwise, if dir is 0, the counter increments by 1 on each clock cycle. If dir is 1, it decrements by 1
on each clock cycle.
The test bench provides inputs to the counter and observes its output over time. Here's a
summary of the test bench behavior:
The dir signal is set to 0 (up count) for 30 time units and then set to 1 (down count) for 40 time
units.
At time 40, load is asserted, and in is loaded into the counter, setting it to 1000.
From time 40 to 70, dir is 0, so the counter increments from 1000 to 1001, 1010, and finally 1011.
At time 70, dir is set to 1, and the counter decrements from 1011 to 1010, 1001, and finally 1000.
The waveform shows the counter counting up and down based on the dir signal, with loading and
resetting behaviors as expected.
7- 4-bit SISO
A 4-bit SISO (Serial-In, Serial-Out) shift register is a digital circuit that can shift a 4-bit binary value
through it serially, either left or right, based on a clock signal. SISO shift registers are commonly
used in digital systems for various purposes, such as data storage, serial-to-parallel conversion,
and shifting operations.
Serial Input (SI): Accepts data input one bit at a time, either in a leftward or rightward direction.
Serial Output (SO): Outputs the shifted data one bit at a time, in the direction specified by the shift
operation.
Clock Input (CLK): Controls the shifting operation. The data is shifted on each clock pulse.
Shift Direction Control (e.g., Shift Left or Shift Right): Determines the direction in which the data is
shifted.
This module has three inputs (clk, si, clear) and one output (so). It represents a 4-bit shift register
that shifts data serially. Here's how it works:
On each rising edge of the clock (clk), the data in the tmp register is shifted left (tmp << 1).
The si input is assigned to the least significant bit (LSB) of tmp (tmp[0]) on each clock cycle.
The most significant bit (MSB) of tmp (tmp[3]) is the output so.
The test bench provides inputs to the shift register (clk, clear, si) and observes its output (so).
Here's a summary of the test bench behavior:
clear is initially low, then goes high for 5 time units, and then goes low again.
At time 10, clear goes low (0), and si becomes high (1), causing so to become 0.
At time 15, si becomes low (0), but tmp still contains 1000, so so remains 0.
At time 20, si becomes high (1), causing tmp to shift to 0100 and so to become 0.
At time 25, si becomes low (0), causing tmp to shift to 0010 and so to become 0.
At time 30, si becomes high (1), causing tmp to shift to 0001 and so to become 0.
At time 35, si becomes low (0), causing tmp to shift to 1000 and so to become 1.
This pattern repeats every 40 time units, as the si input toggles between 0 and 1, shifting the data
through the register.
