• Local variables can be declared for the named block.
• Named blocks are a part of the design hierarchy. Variables in a named block
can be accessed by using hierarchical ... sequential block with delay in Example 7-26

Unconnected ports
Verilog allows ports to remain unconnected. For example, certain output ports
might be simply for ... There are rules governing port connections when modules are
instantiated within other modules. The Verilog simulator complains if any port
connection rules are violated. These rules ar...

1.5 Popularity of Verilog HDL
Verilog HDL has evolved as a standard hardware description language. Verilog
HDL offers many useful features
• Verilog HDL is a general-purpose ... easy to use. It is similar in syntax to the C programming
language. Designers with C programming experience will find it easy to
learn Verilog HDL.
• Verilog HDL allows different lev...

endmodule
In Verilog, it is illegal to nest modules. One module definition cannot ... module provides a template from which you can create actual objects. When a
module is invoked, Verilog creates a unique object from the template. Each object
has its own name, variables,...

Variable Vector Part Select
Another ability provided in Verilog HDl is to have variable part selects of a vector.
This allows part selects to be put in for loops to select various parts of the ... vector.
There are two special part- select operators:
[<starting_bit>+:width] - part- select increments from starting bit
[<starting_bit>-:width] - part- select decremen...

Tasks are used for common Verilog code that contains delays, timing, event
constructs, or multiple output arguments. Functions are used when common
Verilog code is purely combinational, ...
8.1 Differences between Tasks and Functions
Tasks and functions serve different purposes in Verilog. We discuss tasks and
functions in greater detail in the following sections. However,...

programming language. All looping statements ...

7.6.2 For Loop
The keyword for is used to specify this loop. The for loop contains three parts:
• An initial condition
• A check to see if the terminating condition is true
• A pro...
