Implement XOR Gate using 2x1 Multiplexer

We have two inputs A, B. Connect one of Multiplexer's input to input 'B'. Connect input 'B' to input of NOT gate and output of this NOT gate connect to second input of Multiplexer. Then connect input 'A' to selection line of Multiplexer. So, this Multiplexer will XORing operation of input A, B.

Implement OR Gate using 2x1 Multiplexer

We have two inputs A, B. Connect one of Mux's input to logic '1' and second to input 'B'. Connect input 'A' to selection line of Mux. So, output will give ORing operation of two inputs A, B.


Implement AND Gate using 2x1 Multiplexer

We have two inputs A, B. Connect one of Mux's input to logic '0' and second to input 'B'. Connect input A to selection line of Mux. So, output of Mux will give anding operation of two inputs A and B.


Implement BUFFER Gate using XOR Gate

Connect one of XOR gate's input to logic '0' and connect second to input 'a'. So XOR gate will give output as input.


Implement NOT Gate using XOR Gate

Connect one of XOR gate's input to logic 1 and connect second input to input 'a'. So output of XOR gate will give inverted output of input.

Difference between $display and $strobe using Example in Verilog


Case 1 :

module case_1;
reg [31:0] data;

initial
 begin
  #20 data=50;
  $strobe("Strobe",$time,data);
  $display("display",$time,data);
  data=30;
 end

endmodule 

Ans. :

Time
Data
$display
20
50
$strobe
20
30

Interchange data without using third variable in Verilog

We can interchange value with the help of non-blocking statements.

always @ (a or b)
begin
a = 1;
b = 2;
#10;

Difference between Verilog and VHDL


Verilog
VHDL
Verilog isn’t strongly typed language.
VHDL is strongly typed language.
Verilog is case sensitive language.
VHDL is case insensitive language.
Verilog is easy to learn comparatively VHDL.
VHDL is hard to learn comparatively Verilog.

Verilog has simple data types.
VHDL allows creating more complex data types.
Verilog has a lack of library management.
VHDL has a very good library management.

Difference between Function and Task in Verilog


Function
Task
A Function must execute in one simulation time unit.
A Task may execute in non-zero simulation time.
A function can’t contain time-controlling event.
A task can contain time-controlling event.
A function can enable only function, not task.
A task can enable function and task.
A function must have at least one input argument.
A task can have zero or more arguments of any type.
A function returns a single value that is of bit or vector.
A task doesn’t return a value.

Round-robin (RR) is one of the simplest scheduling algorithms for processes in an operating system. As the term is generally used, time slices are assigned to each process in equal portions and in circular order, handling all processes without priority (also known as cyclic executive). Round-robin scheduling is simple, easy to implement, and starvation-free. Round-robin scheduling can also be applied to other scheduling problems, such as data packet scheduling in computer networks. In this Arbiter, we have included one two bit counter. This counter will count no. of clock pulses for grant period of each request signal. In this if in between of counter, the request signal goes low, then grant will be given to other respective request signal and we can save that time slice.

In this wending machine, it accepts only two coins, 5 point and 10 point. Whenever total of coins equal to 15 points, then nw_pa signal will go high and user will get news paper. It will not return any coin, if total of points exceeds 15 points.

Design Traffic Light Controller using Verilog FSM Coding and Verify with Test Bench

Given below code is design code for Traffic Light Controller using Finite State Machine(FSM). In this clk and rst_a are two input signal and n_lights, s_lights, e_lights and w_lights are 3 bit output signal. In output signal, "001" represents Green light, "010" represents Yellow light and "100" represents Red light. On the reset signal, design will enter into north state and start giving output after reset will go low. Design will turn on Green light for eight clock cycles and Yellow light for four clock cycles. Design will start with north, then goes into south, then east and finally into west and by this it will keep going.
