q<=#10 d;

What this statement do in verilog?

Re: Verilog code statement

In a simulation enviroment - it'll assign d to q after 10 simulation ticks.
Or so I think...

Do mean by after 10 clock.

module dff8(q,d,clk);
   input [7:0]d;
    input clk;
    output  [7:0] q;
/*     always@(posedge clk) 
    begin*/
assign q= #10 d;
   /* end*/
endmodule


What this module is doing?

Re: Verilog code statement

It assings Q after 10 `timescale units.

For a `timescale of 1ns / 1ps, Q will be assigned after 10 ns.
1ps is the smallest time precision possible in the simulation.

What if the "clk" signal that triggers the always block is faster than 10 timescales ?
Will the assignment ever take effect?
 

Re: Verilog code statement

The intra-assignment delay should also work with delay > schedule period. The RHS is evaluated immediately, the LHS assigned after the delay, creating a transport delay.

But there's no valid clock event in the above example.

As far as I understand - in VHDL one a process is entered (per sensitivity list) and a signal assignment is scheduled - any old scheduled assignments are overridden. This is UNLESS the "transport" keyword is used.

Are you saying that in Verilog all delays are transported by default?
 

Re: Verilog code statement

The behavior isn't explicitly stated in the Verilog LRM, but I believe the intra-assignment delay syntax is the Verilog equivalent to VHDL transport delay.
