I am looking to create an AND gate which gets the result after a delay of lets say 10ns an my clock is 500 ps. How will i delay the assignment without using # delays ?
I have tried to make a counter which increments but how to model it so that it only starts when my input changes. Also the input won't change till the first output is evaluated and assigned. Initial Counter is 0 and lets say delay is 3'b111 so i want the counter to go from 1 to 3'b111 and then assign it to y. Inputs are a and b to the and gate.
always#(posedge clk)begin
if (!reset) begin y <=0; counter <=0; end
else begin
counter <= counter +1'b1;
if(counter==delay)begin
y <= a & b;
counter <=0;
end
end
Well if your clock cycle is 500 ps then you will need to count to a higher value to reach 10ns. I rewrote your code and also added a testbench for you to try. It's kind of sloppy, I usually write vhdl and not verilog. Hope this helps.

if (counter==5'b10011) begin

The monostable module implements a monostable multivibrator. It takes in three inputs (clk, reset, trigger) and outputs a single (pulse).
The trigger input triggers the module. When triggered, the output signal (pulse) will switch to a high position for a period of clock ticks, and then return to a low position. The pulse width of the output signal can be set via the PULSE_WIDTH parameter, which represents the period in clock ticks that the signal should stay high.
Now, what is happening is when it gets triggered, immediately output signal (pulse) is getting high.
When triggered, the output signal (pulse) should be high on the next active edge of clk. What changes can be done ?
module monostable(
input clk,
input reset,
input trigger,
output reg pulse = 0
);
parameter PULSE_WIDTH = 20;
reg [4:0] count = 0;
wire countReset = reset | (count == PULSE_WIDTH);
always #(posedge trigger, posedge countReset) begin
if (countReset) begin
pulse <= 1'b0;
end else begin
pulse <= 1'b1;
end
end
always #(posedge clk, posedge countReset) begin
if(countReset) begin
count <= 0;
end else begin
if(pulse) begin
count <= count + 1'b1;
end
end
end
endmodule
module monostable_tb();
reg clk;
reg reset;
reg trigger;
wire pulse;
parameter PULSE_WIDTH = 20;
monostable imonostable(.*);
initial begin
clk=0;
forever #50 clk=~clk;
end
initial begin
$monitor("trigger=%b pulse=%b, count = %0d",trigger,pulse,imonostable.count);
$dumpfile("monostable_tb.vcd");
$dumpvars(0,monostable_tb);
trigger=1'b0;
reset = 1'b0;
#(posedge clk) reset = 1'b1;
#(posedge clk) reset = 1'b0;
#(posedge clk) trigger=1'b1;
#(posedge clk) trigger=1'b0;
repeat(25) #(posedge clk);
$finish;
end
endmodule
Here is a simplified design which sets the output one cycle after the input trigger pulse, and keeps the output high for 20 cycles:
module monostable(
input clk,
input reset,
input trigger,
output reg pulse = 0
);
parameter PULSE_WIDTH = 20;
reg [4:0] count;
always #(posedge clk, posedge reset) begin
if (reset) begin
pulse <= 1'b0;
end else if (trigger) begin
pulse <= 1'b1;
end else if (count == PULSE_WIDTH-1) begin
pulse <= 1'b0;
end
end
always #(posedge clk, posedge reset) begin
if(reset) begin
count <= 0;
end else if (pulse) begin
count <= count + 1'b1;
end
end
endmodule
It now uses a single clock signal, instead of 2. It also uses a simple reset signal, which can avoid potential glitches causing unwanted asynchronous resets.
You should also use nonblocking assignments in the testbench:
#(posedge clk) reset <= 1'b1;
#(posedge clk) reset <= 1'b0;
#(posedge clk) trigger<= 1'b1;
#(posedge clk) trigger<= 1'b0;
If a 1-clock synchronous delay is needed, then run the output thru a flip flop.
module monostable(
input clk,
input reset,
input trigger,
output reg pulse = 0
);
parameter PULSE_WIDTH = 20;
reg [4:0] count = 0;
reg reg_pulse_temp;
wire countReset = reset | (count == PULSE_WIDTH);
always #(posedge trigger, posedge countReset) begin
if (countReset) begin
reg_pulse_temp <= 1'b0;
end else begin
reg_pulse_temp <= 1'b1;
end
end
always #(posedge clk, posedge countReset) begin
if(countReset) begin
count <= 0;
// reset the flop
pulse <= 0;
end else begin
if(pulse) begin
count <= count + 1'b1;
end
end
// flip flop
pulse <= reg_pulse_temp;
end
endmodule

// Instantiate the Unit Under Test (UUT)
modulus64counter uut (

repeat(2) #(posedge clk);
rstn <=1;
repeat(50) #(posedge clk);
$finish;
end
endmodule
Now if i want to increment the value of out every "n" clock cycle instead of consecutive clock cycle , how can i modify the program
Kindly help
Updated 20220131
Updated the code to produce output after every 2 clock cycles. Similarly, if you wish to delay for even more clock cycle, the simplest way is to continuously flopping it.
For a better implementation, you can try out a shift register.
module modulus64counter #(
parameter N=64,
parameter WIDTH=8,
parameter DELAY_CYCLE=2
)(
input clk,
input rstn,
output reg[WIDTH-1:0] out,
output reg[WIDTH-1:0] actual_out
);
integer i;
reg [WIDTH-1:0] cntr;
reg [WIDTH-1:0] dly1clk;
always #(posedge clk) begin
if(!rstn) begin
out <= 0;
dly1clk <= 0;
end else if(out == DELAY_CYCLE-1) begin
out <= 0;
dly1clk <= dly1clk + 1;
end else begin
out <= out + 1;
end
end
always #(posedge clk) begin
if(!rstn) begin
actual_out <= 0;
end else begin
actual_out <= dly1clk;
end
end
endmodule
The code below should work for you. You can always swap the out and actual_out if you insist on using out as the final counting variable.
Also, removing the out on the monitor line in the testbench will only print the value when it reaches mod n. I kept both out and actual_out on testbench's monitor to ease debugging purpose.

I am trying to learn valid/ready handshake in verilog. In particular, I am interested to use ready as a flag that indicates the successful transaction of data (i.e., ready_in becomes high after valid_out goes high). I would like to explain my problem using a very simple Verilog example. I have written a convolutional encoder (code below)
module Conv_Encoder_Core(
input wire clk,
input wire reset,
input wire in_bit,
output reg out_A,
output reg out_B,
input wire sleep,
input wire valid_in,
input wire ready_in,
output reg valid_out,
output reg ready_out);
reg [5:0] S;
wire S_A, S_B, clkON;
assign S_A = S[1] ^ S[2] ^ S[4] ^S[5];
assign S_B = S[0] ^ S[1] ^ S[2] ^S[5];
assign clkON = clk & !sleep;
always #(posedge clkON)begin
if (reset) begin
S <=0;
valid_out <=0;
ready_out <=0;
end else if (valid_in) begin
out_A <= in_bit ^ S_A;
out_B <= in_bit ^ S_B;
valid_out <=1;
if (ready_in)begin
S<= S<<1;
S[0] <=in_bit;
ready_out <=1;
end else begin
ready_out <=0;
end
end else begin
valid_out <=0;
ready_out <=0;
end
end
endmodule
I am interested to use ready_in flag as an indicator that data out_A and out_B are received by the next block, so my block can accept the new data by setting ready_out flag high. I have written a testbench for this block, however, I am not getting the results I am expecting

if you look at the input data (in the testbech), you can see it is 1000000000. I am expecting to see 1 being passed through S register as follows:
S = 000000 //at beginning
S = 000001 // after ready_out=1
S = 000010
S = 000100
however, the results I get is entirely different(please see snapshot).
Another problem I have is that inbit=1 continues two clock cycles more than what I expect. in fact when ready_out=1, I expect to see that in_bit becomes zero but this happens two clock cycles later(yellow cursor in the snapshot ).
I would be most grateful if someone could explain what I do wrong in this example.

Issues with your implementation
Bad protocol definition & implementation
You are defining a protocol that looks more like "request/acknowledge" than "ready/valid" one, because data transmissions in your protocol are acknowledged after a one-cycle delay. What you need is concurrent transmission acknowledge in the same cycle, something like the following:
A valid data transmission is indicated by the Transmitter through valid=1 and are acknowledged by the Receiver through ready=1. So, a data transmission is valid only when valid && ready in the same cycle. Note that input data is equivalent to in_bit in your case, while output data is out_A and out_B.
Input/Output ready/valid channel confusion
If you add a processing/buffering unit between the Transmitter and the Receiver of the above channel, then what you got is something like this:
In that case, your buffer is the Conv_Encoder_Core module and, apart from its internal core logic, it must expose an input ready/valid channel, from which it receives input data, and an output one, from which it outputs its data. Also note that the Transmitter and the Receiver, are implemented by the testbench code (tb module). See
"Transmitter Side" and "Receiver Side" comments in code.
I'm implementing a repeating bit shifter for a 16 bit number. To do this, I have a bit counter that counts how many times I've shifted and resets when I reach 4'b1111. Then I have an assign statement that feeds the MSB to an output. However, the logic makes it so that the output skips the first MSB every time. What is the most succinct way to include the first MSB, before any shifting has occurred?
CODE
module DAC_Control(
input [15:0]data_in,
input clk,
input rst,
output data_out,
output reg cs,
output reg enable
);
//bit counter
reg [3:0] bit_counter;
//to help with shifting
reg [15:0] shifter;
always #(data_in)
shifter <= data_in;
//shifter
always #(posedge (clk)) begin
if (rst) begin
bit_counter <= 4'b0;
enable <= 1'b0;
cs <= 1'b1;
end
else if (bit_counter == 4'b1111) begin
bit_counter <= 4'b0;
enable <= 1'b1;
cs <= 1'b1;
end
else begin //this is the problem area
bit_counter <= bit_counter + 1'b1;
enable <= 1'b0;
cs <= 1'b0;
shifter <= shifter << 1;
end
end
assign data_out = shifter[15];
endmodule
Firstly it would be better to have a trigger to capture the data_in. If not then in simulation ,if the data_in changes in between the shifting it will update the shifter and cause the expected output to change. It would be preferable to capture the data_in based on a qualifying event ( e.g. counter_enable in the example below) . Synthesis will produce an error as shifter has two drivers . One the continuous assignment shifter <= data_in; and other the shifting logic shifter <= shifter << 1;
Updated sample code should serialize the data.

input [15:0]data_in,

The counter counts number of posedge of in_event wire. So, can you use #(posedge in_event)?
I simulated your code, providing a testbench to it.
I do not have much knowledge about hardware synthesis, but personally, I would suggest to write your logic based on edge/level of clock.
This code works completely well. Have a look at this link.
You can configure various values of period in testbench, hope this will be helpful.
I came up with a test bench and the design for your problem and it works.
