clk
is the clock signal that controls the operation of the serial adder.reset
is an optional asynchronous reset signal that resets the adder to its initial state when asserted.A
andB
are the two binary input bits that you want to add.cin
is the carry input bit.sum
is the sum output bit.cout
is the carry output bit.
The adder consists of XOR and AND gates to calculate the sum bit and the carry out bit.
The always
block is triggered on the positive edge of the clock or the positive edge of the reset signal. When the reset signal is asserted, the sum register and the carry output are reset to their initial states. Otherwise, it calculates the new sum and carry output based on the inputs and the carry input.
You can instantiate this module in your top-level Verilog design and connect it to your clock, reset, binary inputs, and carry input, and observe the sum and carry output as needed.
In this testbench, we create signals for clock (clk
), reset (reset
), and the input bits (A
, B
, cin
). We also declare wires for the output bits (sum
, cout
). We then instantiate the serial_adder
module, connect the signals, and simulate the clock signal.
Inside the initial
block, you can add various test cases by changing the inputs (A
, B
, cin
) and optionally adding assertions to check the expected results. The testbench will simulate the behavior of the serial adder for these test cases.
Make sure to replace 'serial_adder'
with the actual module name of your Verilog code.
