如何写好Verilog状态机

还记得之前软件的同事说过的一句话。怎么凸显自己的工作量，就是自己给自己写BUG。

看过夏宇闻老师书的都知道，verilog的FSM有moore和mealy,然后有一段，二段，三段式。记得我还是学生的时候，看到这里的时候，感觉很烧脑。毕竟这与数字电路设计息息相关。

今天我想把问题简单化。只谈mealy型三段式写法。

借用前辈们总结的一句话说：三段式描述方法虽然代码结构复杂了一些，但是换来的优势是使 FSM 做到了同步寄存器输出，消除了组合逻辑输出的不稳定与毛刺的隐患，而且更利于时序路径分组，一般来说在 FPGA/CPLD 等可编程逻辑器件上的综合与布局布线效果更佳。

                i1,
				i2,
                o1,
				o2,
                err
               );
         
input          rst_n,clk;
input          i1,i2;

parameter [2:0]      S2     = 3'b010;
parameter [2:0]      ERROR  = 3'b100;

//1st always block, sequential state transition
always @(posedge clk or negedge rst_n)
      if (!rst_n)            
         CS <= IDLE;        
      else

               NS = 3'bx;
               case (CS)
                    IDLE:     begin

									if (i1 && ~i2)     NS = ERROR;
                              end

                              end
               endcase
         end


//3rd always block, the sequential FSM output
always @ (posedge clk or negedge rst_n)
 if (!rst_n)
      {o1,o2,err} <= 3'b000;
 else
    begin
       {o1,o2,err} <=  3'b000;
       case (NS)
           IDLE:  {o1,o2,err}<=3'b000;
           S1:    {o1,o2,err}<=3'b100;
           S2:    {o1,o2,err}<=3'b010;
           ERROR: {o1,o2,err}<=3'b111;
       endcase
    end

endmodule

同样这段代码也很好理解：

bash 复制代码

module FSM(
			clk,
			clr,
			out,
			start,
			step2,
			step3
		);
input				clk;		
input				clr;		
input				start;	
input				step2;	
input				step3;

output[2:0]			out;

reg[2:0]			out;
reg[1:0]			state,next_state;



/*状态编码，采用格雷（Gray）编码方式*/
parameter						state0 = 2'b00;
parameter						state1 = 2'b01; 
parameter						state2 = 2'b11;
parameter						state3 = 2'b10; 

/*该进程定义起始状态*/
always @(posedge clk or posedge clr) 
begin 
	if (clr) 
		state <= state0; 
	else 
		state <= next_state; 
end

/*该进程实现状态的转换*/
always @(state or start or step2 or step3) 
begin 
	case (state)
		state0: begin
			if (start) 
				next_state <=state1;
			else 
				next_state <=state0;
		end

		state1: begin
			next_state <= state2;
		end

		state2: begin
			if (step2) 
				next_state <=state3;
			else 
				next_state <=state0;
		end

		state3: begin
			if (step3) 
				next_state <=state0;
			else 
				next_state <=state3;
		end

		default: next_state <=state0; /*default语句*/
	endcase
end

/*该进程定义组合逻辑（FSM的输出）*/
always @(state) 
begin
	case(state)

		state0: out=3'b001;
		state1: out=3'b010;
		state2: out=3'b100;
		state3: out=3'b111;
		default:out=3'b001; 
		/*default语句，避免锁存器的产生*/

	endcase
end

endmodule
