num
is a 32-bit input representing the number you want to check for primality.is_prime
is a 1-bit output that indicates whether the input number is prime (1) or not (0).
The module uses sequential logic to check for primality. It initializes i
to 2 and is_prime_internal
to 1 (assuming the number is prime) when the circuit is reset (rst
is asserted). Then, in each clock cycle, it checks if i
is less than or equal to the square root of num
. If num
is divisible by i
, it sets is_prime_internal
to 0 (indicating that the number is not prime). If not, it increments i
.
The final assign
statement checks if the input number is greater than 1 (since 0 and 1 are not prime) and returns the value of is_prime_internal
. If the input number is less than or equal to 1, it directly outputs 0 as those numbers are not prime by definition.
-
We instantiate the
PrimeChecker
module and connect its inputs and outputs. -
We generate a clock signal (
clk
) using analways
block. -
We initialize the testbench, set the reset signal (
rst
) to 0, and provide different input numbers (num
) to test various cases. -
For each test case, we assert the reset signal (
rst
) to reset the Prime Checker module, wait for a few clock cycles, deassertrst
, and then check theis_prime
output. We use the$display
statement to print the test results.
