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:
