SV15. SystemVerilog Clock-to-Q Modeling: Why Non-Blocking Assignments Matter
This guide focuses on one of the most important timing parameters: Clock-to-Q delay and how to model it effectively in RTL design.
SV14. Unique and Priority Identifiers in SystemVerilog
SystemVerilog provides three special keywords (`unique`, `unique0`, and `priority`) that can be used with `case` and `if` statements to provide synthesis tools with optimization hints and enable runtime checking during simulation.
SV13. SystemVerilog Casting Guide
Casting in SystemVerilog is a powerful mechanism for explicitly converting data between different types, sizes, and sign interpretations. This guide covers the three main types of casting available in synthesizable SystemVerilog and their practical applications.
SV12. Difference between Bitwise NOT (~) and Logical NOT (!)
When working with Verilog or SystemVerilog, it's crucial to understand the distinction between the bitwise NOT operator (`~`) and the logical NOT operator (`!`). While they might seem similar, they behave differently and are intended for distinct purposes. Using them...
SV11. Signed Arithmetic in SystemVerilog
This page summarizes the key rules and pitfalls for synthesizable signed arithmetic in SystemVerilog, focusing on vector size, signed vs. unsigned behavior, and correct handling of carry-in signals. Each section provides code examples and explanations to help hardware designers avoid...
