MAX+PLUS II Architecture Control Logic Function Instantiation Example for Verilog HDL

You can instantiate Altera®-provided logic functions from the alt_mf library, which includes the a_8fadd, a_8mcomp, a_8count, and a_81mux functions, in Verilog HDL designs. Altera provides behavioral Verilog HDL descriptions of these functions.

Figure 1 shows an example of an 8-bit counter that is instantiated using the a_8count function. Because Verilog HDL is case-sensitive, be sure to use uppercase letters for all of the macrofunction's module names and port names.

Figure 1. Sample Verilog HDL File with Logic Function Instantiation (counter.v)

module counter (clock, ena, load, dnup, set, clear, i, q, cout);
output          cout;
output[7:0]     q;
input[7:0]      i;
input           clock, ena, load, dnup, set, clear;
A_8COUNT u1    (.A(i[0]), .B(i[1]), .C(i[2]), .D(i[3]),
                .E(i[4]), .F(i[5]), .G(i[6]), .H(i[7]),
                .LDN(load), .GN(ena), .DNUP(dnup), .SETN(set), 
                .CLRN(clear), .CLK(clock), .QA(q[0]), .QB(q[1]),
                .QC(q[2]), .QD(q[3]), .QE(q[4]), .QF(q[5]),
                .QG(q[6]), .QH(q[7]), .COUT(cout) );
endmodule

The sample file shown in Figure 1 can be synthesized with the Design Compiler or FPGA Compiler. You can also simulate it with the Cadence Verilog-XL Simulator by typing the following command at the dc_shell prompt:

verilog counter.v /usr/maxplus2/synopsys/library/alt_mf/src/mf.v Enter
