题目:Always case
Case statements in Verilog are nearly equivalent to a sequence of if-elseif-else that compares one expression to a list of others. Its syntax and functionality differs from the switch statement in C.
Verilog中的Case语句几乎等同于if-else -else序列,它将一个表达式与其他表达式的列表进行比较。它的语法和功能不同于C中的switch语句。
-
The case statement begins with case and each “case item” ends with a colon. There is no “switch”.
case语句以case开头,每个“case项”以冒号结束。没有“switch”。 -
Each case item can execute exactly one statement. This makes the “break” used in C unnecessary. But this means that if you need more than one statement, you must use begin … end.
每个case项只能执行一条语句。这使得C语言中使用的“break”变得不必要。但是这意味着如果你需要多个语句,你必须使用begin…结束。 -
Duplicate (and partially overlapping) case items are permitted. The first one that matches is used. C does not allow duplicate case items.
允许重复(和部分重叠)的case项。使用第一个匹配的。C不允许重复的case项。
A bit of practice
练习
Case statements are more convenient than if statements if there are a large number of cases. So, in this exercise, create a 6-to-1 multiplexer. When sel is between 0 and 5, choose the corresponding data input. Otherwise, output 0. The data inputs and outputs are all 4 bits wide.
如果有大量的情况,Case语句比if语句更方便。因此,在本练习中,创建一个6比1的多路复用器。当sel在0 ~ 5之间时,选择相应的数据输入。否则输出0。数据输入和输出都是4位宽。
Be careful of inferring latches (See.always_if2)
小心推断latches (参见.always_if2)
组合逻辑中,如果case缺少default语句,或是自己赋值给自己的情况就会产生latch。为了避免latch产生,case需要加上default语句,覆盖所有可能。
