Instantiating LPM in Verilog

 

To promote LPM usage in Verilog design community. This section describes the syntax for instantiating LPM in Verilog design file.

Module Declaration

To instantiate component in Verilog design file, the module has to be declared. The declaration of LPM modules is defined in the LPM declaration file . In declaring the LPM module, the module should be "fully described". Which includes all the optional ports, parameters. Once defined, any number of these "fully described modules" can be instantiated within the Verilog design. For example, LPM_MULT is declared as follows:

module lpm_mult ( result, dataa, datab, sum, clock, aclr ) ;
   parameter lpm_type       = "lpm_mult" ;
   parameter lpm_widtha     = 1 ;
   parameter lpm_widthb     = 1 ;
   parameter lpm_widths     = 1 ;
   parameter lpm_widthp     = 1 ;
   parameter lpm_pipeline    = 0 ;
   parameter lpm_representation     = "UNSIGNED" ;

   input  clock ;
   input  aclr ;
   input  [lpm_widtha-1:0] dataa ;
   input  [lpm_widthb-1:0] datab ;
   input  [lpm_widths-1:0] sum ;
   output [lpm_widthp-1:0] result;

    [module body] . . .

endmodule;

Module Instantiation

  1. Port

    2. All the used port connections are defined in port map construct of Verilog. The unused optional ports were left out from the port map and its' default value from the component declaration will be used. For example, the u1 instance in this example only use aset optional port of LPM_FF so other unused optional ports were left our from the port map statement. 

       LPM_FF u1 (.data(result), .q(last), .clock(clock),.aset(clear));
  2. Property

    3. All the used LPM properties values are defined in generic map construct of Verilog. The unused optional properties were left out and its' default value from the component declaration will be used. For example, the u1 instance in this example is an 4-but DFF with no synchronous set value (ie. LPM_SVALUE) so the LPM_SVALUE is left out from the generic map statement.

       LPM_FF u1 . . .
      defparam u1.lpm_width = 4;
      defparam u1.lpm_avalue = 1
  3. Example

    4. The schematic example is shown in the following figure.


    

// Description: LPM instantiation
//
`include "/lpm_comp.v"

module fibex (clock, clear, result);
  input clear;
  input clock;
  inout [3:0] result;
  wire [3:0] last;
  wire [3:0] present;

  LPM_FF u1 (.data(result), .q(last), .clock(clock), .aset(clear));
      defparam u1.lpm_width = 4;
      defparam u1.lpm_avalue = 1;

  LPM_FF u2 (.data(last), .q(present), .clock(clock), .aset(clear));
      defparam u2.lpm_width = 4;
      defparam u2.lpm_avalue = 1;

  LPM_ADD_SUB u3 (.dataa(present), .datab(last), .result(result));
      defparam u3.lpm_width = 4;

endmodule

LPM Verilog Declaration file


The following LPM verilog file only contains the module declaration that included the pins and properties of LPM modules. Due the limited support of two dimensional array for non-registered functions, LPM_AND, LPM_OR, LPM_XOR and LPM_MUX modules that hav e two dimensional ports are excluded from this declaration file.
