Mutiplexer giving high impedance while connected serially to a D-Flip Flop

Altera_Forum · ‎10-30-2016

Hi guys,

I am very much new to verilog and I have been trying to replicate an LUT-FF pair with a multiplexer to select the output from either directly from the LUT or from the D-FF. When I tried connecting all three modules, I found that the LUT output is coming as 'Z'. I have individually tested all three modules (LUT, D-FF and 2x1 MUX) and they are working fine. I think something might be wrong with my test bench but I am not able to find out the issue.

Please find the code below. Any kind of help is much appreciated.

module test_bench();

wire MuxOut;

reg [15:0] In;

reg [3:0] sel;

reg clk,reset,switch;

logic_pair LUTFF(.inp(sel),.lut(In),.sel(switch),.clk(clk),.reset(reset),.out(MuxOut));

initial begin

// Initiliase Input Stimulus

clk = 1'b0;

reset=1'b1;

switch=1'b0;

In = 16'b1100_0011_1011_0101;

sel=4'b0000;

forever# 100 clk=!clk;

end

always @(posedge clk)

begin # 5;

sel=4'b0000;

reset=1'b0;

switch=0;# 10;

sel=4'b0001;

switch=0;

reset=1'b0;# 10;

sel=4'b0010;

switch=0;

reset=1'b0;# 10;

reset=1'b1;

switch=1;

sel=4'b1000;

sel=4'b0100;# 400 $finish;

end

initial begin

$dumpfile("x.vcd");

$dumpvars(0,test_bench);

$timeformat(-9, 1, " ns", 6);

$monitor("At t=%t sel=%b In=%b_%b MuxOut=%b reset=%b switch=%b",$time,sel,In[15:8],In[7:0],MuxOut,reset,switch);

end

//Stimulus

LU L1(.in1(lut), .in2(inp), .out2(out_lut));

Hi!

The "always@(posedge clk or negedge reset)" statement should be "always@(posedge clk or posedge reset)" as you trigger on a rising reset input.

And you should use a complete sensitivity list (all signals at the right side of "=") at:

"always@(sel)". Or the simple way: "always @*"

Use "=" instead of "<=" in combinatorial blocks ("always @*").

With these changes your output should be 1'b0 or 1'b1 instead of x.

Thanks a lot!! Now the code is working perfectly
