使用modport可以将interface中的信号分组并指定方向,方向是从modport连接的模块看过来的。简单示例如下:
- interface cnt_if (input bit clk);
-
- logic rstn;
- logic load_en;
- logic [3:0] load;
- logic [7:0] count;
-
- modport TEST (input clk, count,
- output rstn,load_en,load);
-
- modport DUT (input clk,rstn,load_en,load,
- output count);
-
- endinterface
-
-
-
- module Design(clk,rstn,load_en,load,count );
-
- input clk,rstn,load_en,load;
- output reg [7:0] count;
-
-
- always @(posedge clk or negedge rstn)
- if(!rstn)
- count<=0;
- else
- count<=count+1;
-
-
- endmodule
-
-
- class AA;
-
- virtual cnt_if.DUT this_s;
-
- function new(virtual cnt_if.DUT if_inst);
- this_s=if_inst;
- endfunction
-
- task assig();
- this_s.rstn=0;
-
- repeat(100) @(posedge this_s.clk);
- this_s.rstn=1;
- this_s.load_en=0; this_s.load=1; this_s.count='d56;
-
- repeat(100) @(posedge this_s.clk);
- this_s.rstn=0; this_s.load_en=1; this_s.load=0; this_s.count='d34;
-
- endtask
-
-
- endclass
-
-
- module tb;
- logic clk;
-
- initial begin clk=0; end
-
- always #5 clk=~clk;
-
- //cnt_if.DUT if_instance (clk);
- cnt_if if_instance (clk);
-
- AA ainstance=new(if_instance.DUT);
-
- //Design(clk,rstn,load_en,load,count );
- Design design_inst(.clk(if_instance.DUT.clk), .rstn(if_instance.DUT.rstn) ,.load_en(if_instance.DUT.load_en ), .load(if_instance.DUT.load) ,.count(if_instance.DUT.count) );
-
- initial
- begin
- ainstance.assig;
- end
-
-
- endmodule
注意:
(1)在interface中使用modport将信号分组后,在tb中例化时,直接例化interface的实例,不能例化interface中modport的实例;
(2)在calss中直接例化interface中modport的实例;
(3)在tb中实例化interface的实例后,将interface的实例的modport通过点运算符传递给DUT。
仿真波形如下:
