Testbenches in Verilog
⚙️ 1. Behavioral Modeling Behavioral modeling describes what the circuit does, not how it’s built. It focuses on the function or logic using high-level statements like if, case, and always blocks. ๐ธ Example – Behavioral 2-bit Adder module adder_behavioral(input [1:0] A, B, output reg [2:0] SUM); always @(*) begin SUM = A + B; // Describes the behavior end endmodule ✅ Advantages: Easier and faster to write Good for algorithmic or complex designs Useful for simulation and verification ⚠️ Limitation: Doesn’t show the internal hardware structure ๐ฉ 2. Structural Modeling Structural modeling describes how the circuit is built using gates and interconnections. It focuses on the hardware components and how they’re connected. ๐ธ Example – Structural 2-bit Adder module half_adder(input A, B, output SUM, CARRY); xor(SUM, A, B); and(CARRY, A, B); endmodule module full_adder(input A, B, Cin, output SUM, Cout); wire s1, c1, c2; ...
