Verilog assign statement
Hardware schematic.
Signals of type wire or a similar wire like data type requires the continuous assignment of a value. For example, consider an electrical wire used to connect pieces on a breadboard. As long as the +5V battery is applied to one end of the wire, the component connected to the other end of the wire will get the required voltage.
In Verilog, this concept is realized by the assign statement where any wire or other similar wire like data-types can be driven continuously with a value. The value can either be a constant or an expression comprising of a group of signals.
Assign Syntax
The assignment syntax starts with the keyword assign followed by the signal name which can be either a single signal or a concatenation of different signal nets. The drive strength and delay are optional and are mostly used for dataflow modeling than synthesizing into real hardware. The expression or signal on the right hand side is evaluated and assigned to the net or expression of nets on the left hand side.
Delay values are useful for specifying delays for gates and are used to model timing behavior in real hardware because the value dictates when the net should be assigned with the evaluated value.
- LHS should always be a scalar or vector net or a concatenation of scalar or vector nets and never a scalar or vector register.
- RHS can contain scalar or vector registers and function calls.
- Whenever any operand on the RHS changes in value, LHS will be updated with the new value.
- assign statements are also called continuous assignments and are always active
In the following example, a net called out is driven continuously by an expression of signals. i1 and i2 with the logical AND & form the expression.
If the wires are instead converted into ports and synthesized, we will get an RTL schematic like the one shown below after synthesis.
Continuous assignment statement can be used to represent combinational gates in Verilog.
The module shown below takes two inputs and uses an assign statement to drive the output z using part-select and multiple bit concatenations. Treat each case as the only code in the module, else many assign statements on the same signal will definitely make the output become X.
Assign reg variables
It is illegal to drive or assign reg type variables with an assign statement. This is because a reg variable is capable of storing data and does not require to be driven continuously. reg signals can only be driven in procedural blocks like initial and always .
Implicit Continuous Assignment
When an assign statement is used to assign the given net with some value, it is called explicit assignment. Verilog also allows an assignment to be done when the net is declared and is called implicit assignment.
Combinational Logic Design
Consider the following digital circuit made from combinational gates and the corresponding Verilog code.
Combinational logic requires the inputs to be continuously driven to maintain the output unlike sequential elements like flip flops where the value is captured and stored at the edge of a clock. So an assign statement fits the purpose the well because the output o is updated whenever any of the inputs on the right hand side change.
After design elaboration and synthesis, we do get to see a combinational circuit that would behave the same way as modeled by the assign statement.
See that the signal o becomes 1 whenever the combinational expression on the RHS becomes true. Similarly o becomes 0 when RHS is false. Output o is X from 0ns to 10ns because inputs are X during the same time.

Assign Statement In Verilog
- You can use assign statement inside of module.
- You can use assign statement to output port and any wire declared inside the module
Examples of assign statement
In above example, y is output port and we are assigning this output port to a and b. It will create a and gate where a and b are inputs and y is output
In above example, we've descrived a NAND gate. We can use one statemetn but for better understanding we've use two statement to illustrate how we can use assign statement to both wire and output port. wire w is assign with a AND b, and output y is assigned not of wire w. This creates a NAND gate in verilog HDL.
In above example, we have described a full-adder using assign statement. Note that we can write complete boolean equation using assign statement
We can also use Verilog operators using assign statement. Below is the example of full-adder using assign statement and Verilog operator
In above example, we are using + operator, which addition operator in Verilog. We are assigning output sum and carry with addition of a, b and cin.

Assign statement
The assign statement in Verilog is used to continue assigning a value to a wire data type. In data flow modeling , it is also used. Concurrent assignment statements like this one are commonly used to show combinational logic. The assign statement explains how an original statement and a target are related, declaring that the value of the target i.e. “sample” should always match the value of the original statement.
The syntax of the assign statement is as follows:
Here, sample is the wire to which the value will be continuously assigned , and original_expression is the expression whose value will be assigned to the sample. The expression can be a combination of constants, signals, operators, and other wires.
Let us consider an easy example to show how to use the assign statement:
In the above example, the module and_gate accepts the signals x and y as inputs and outputs the signal F . The assign statement represents a logical AND operation between inputs x and y by constantly assigning the value of x & y to the output F .
Rules of assign statement:
The following guidelines must be observed when using an assign statement:
1. LHS should never be a scalar or vector register, but rather a scalar or vector net, or a combination of both.
2. scalar or vector registers, as well as function calls, can be found in RHS.
3. The LHS will be updated with any changes to the values of any operands on the RHS.
4. Continuous assignments are another name for assign statements.
The assign statement only operates with wire data types , and this must be remembered .
To represent sequential behavior for registers ( such as reg ), procedural assignments (such as always blocks) must be used. Within Verilog modules, procedural assignments provide the description of a clock or sequential logic. Top of Form

Continuous Assigns
A module may have any number of continuous assign statements. Continuous assign statements are used to drive values on to wires. For example:
This is referred to as a continuous assign because the wire on the left-hand side of the assignment operator is continuously driven with the value of the expression on the right hand side. The target of the assign statement must be a wire. The continuous assign statement is not a procedural statement and so must be used at the module level; it cannot be placed in an initial or always process.
You can add delay to a continuous assign statement as follows:
In this case, the value of a changes 10 units of time after the expression b & c changes. Continuous assign statement implement inertial delay, meaning that continuous assign statements swallow glitches. This is illustrated below with the assumption that the unit of time is 1ns.
It is possible to specify up to three delay values on a continuous assignment:
When you specify more than one:
The first delay refers to the transition to the 1 value (rise delay).
The second delay refers to the transition to the 0 value (fall delay).
The third delay refers to the transition to the high-impedance value.
When a value changes to the unknown (x) value, the delay is the smallest of the delays specified.
If only two delays are specified, then the delay to high-impedance is the smallest of the two values specified.

Difference between blocking and nonblocking assignment Verilog
I was reading this page http://www.asic-world.com/verilog/verilog_one_day3.html when I came across the following:
We normally have to reset flip-flops, thus every time the clock makes the transition from 0 to 1 (posedge), we check if reset is asserted (synchronous reset), then we go on with normal logic. If we look closely we see that in the case of combinational logic we had "=" for assignment, and for the sequential block we had the "<=" operator. Well, "=" is blocking assignment and "<=" is nonblocking assignment. "=" executes code sequentially inside a begin / end, whereas nonblocking "<=" executes in parallel.
I was fairly sure that nonblocking assignments were sequential while blocking assignments were parallel. After all, you can make blocking assignments with assign statements outside of always blocks, and those all run in parallel. Is this a mistake, or is the behavior different inside an always block? And, if the behavior IS different inside an always block, can nonblocking assignments be made outside an always block?

was fairly sure that nonblocking assignments were sequential while blocking assignments were parallel.
Blocking assignment executes "in series" because a blocking assignment blocks execution of the next statement until it completes. Therefore the results of the next statement may depend on the first one being completed.
Non-blocking assignment executes in parallel because it describes assignments that all occur at the same time. The result of a statement on the 2nd line will not depend on the results of the statement on the 1st line. Instead, the 2nd line will execute as if the 1st line had not happened yet.
- \$\begingroup\$ So what about assign statements? Are they just in a whole class of their own? \$\endgroup\$ – Void Star Commented Nov 24, 2013 at 4:25
- 6 \$\begingroup\$ Yes, assign statements occur outside of always blocks and are generally used to describe to combinatorial (un-latched) logic (while always blocks, with some exceptions, describe sequential logic). AFAIK, assign statements always execute "in parallel" whenever their LHS has a value change. \$\endgroup\$ – The Photon Commented Nov 24, 2013 at 4:28
- \$\begingroup\$ Okay... I'm starting to get the impression that Verilog just isn't the most elegantly designed language. This is gonna be like learning C was. \$\endgroup\$ – Void Star Commented Nov 24, 2013 at 5:30
- 2 \$\begingroup\$ Verilog was designed to "describe" hardware that already exists. Using it as a language to design (synthesize) hardware is a hack. \$\endgroup\$ – The Photon Commented Nov 24, 2013 at 6:02
- 6 \$\begingroup\$ if Verilog "like learning C" is a problem, take a look at VHDL. Some people have fairly strong preferences for one or the other. To some, VHDL is just too verbose. To me, it's much better thought out. (signal/variable assignment semantics are much clearer than blocking/non for example). stackoverflow.com/questions/13954193/… and sigasi.com/content/vhdls-crown-jewel You may prefer it or hate it. But it's worth a look. \$\endgroup\$ – user16324 Commented Nov 24, 2013 at 10:20
Assign statements are neither "blocking" or "nonblocking", they are "continuous". The output of an assign statement is always equal to the specified function of it's inputs. "blocking" and "nonblocking" assignments only exist within always blocks.
A blocking assignment takes affect immediately it is processed. A nonblocking assignment takes place at the end of processing the current "time delta".
always blocks can be used to model either combinatorial or sequential logic (systemverilog has always_comb and always_ff to make this explicit). When modeling combinatorial logic it's usually more efficient to use = but it typically doesn't really matter.
When modelling sequential logic (e.g. always @(posedge clk) ) you normally use nonblocking assingments. This allows you to deterime the "state after the clock edge" in terms of "the state before the clock edge".
It is sometimes useful to use blocking assignments in sequential always blocks as "variables". If you do this then there are two key rules to bear in mind.
- Do not access a reg that is set with blocking assignments inside a sequential always block from outside the always block it is assigned in.
- Do not mix blocking and nonblocking assignments to the same reg.
Breaking these rules is likely to result in synthesis failures and/or behaviour differences between simulation and synthesis.
- \$\begingroup\$ ""Do not access a reg that is set with blocking assignments inside a sequential always block from outside the always block it is assigned in."" Can you please explain it? \$\endgroup\$ – user125575 Commented Oct 4, 2016 at 6:44
- 2 \$\begingroup\$ Different sequential always blocks do not have a defined order. So reading a "reg" set with a blocking assingment in one always block from another always block will lead to unpredicable behaviour. \$\endgroup\$ – Peter Green Commented Oct 4, 2016 at 15:23
- \$\begingroup\$ And even if it appears to work in simulation, a synthesis tool should look at that and say "nope". I use local regs for those intermediate vars, and make sure that they are always assigned to on every clock before being read, so that no 'storage' is implied. \$\endgroup\$ – greggo Commented Mar 30, 2017 at 11:57
- \$\begingroup\$ IIRC at least in quartus it is only considered a warning not an error. \$\endgroup\$ – Peter Green Commented Mar 30, 2017 at 11:59
- \$\begingroup\$ You should not be using nonblocking assignment in combinational logic, it can lock up the simulation. For more details, refer this answer: electronics.stackexchange.com/a/506047/238188 \$\endgroup\$ – Shashank V M Commented Oct 5, 2020 at 14:55
The term Blocking assignment confuses people because the word blocking would seem to suggest time-sequential logic. But in synthesized logic it does not mean this , because everything operates in parallel .
Perhaps a less confusing term would be immediate assignment , which would still differentiate the intermediate results of combinational logic from the inputs to non-transparent memory elements (for example clocked registers), which can have delayed assignment .
From a legalistic standpoint, it all works out very nicely. You can, in fact, consider the = to be a blocking (time-sequential) operation even within always_comb sequences. However, the distinction between time-sequential and parallel makes absolutely no difference in this case because the always_comb block is defined to repeat until the instruction sequence converges on a stable state -- which is exactly what the hardware circuitry will do (if it meets the timing requirements).
The synthesizable subset of Verilog (and especially SystemVerilog) is extremely simple and easy to use -- once you know the necessary idioms. You just have to get past the clever use of terminology associated with the so-called behavioral elements in the language.
- \$\begingroup\$ In behavioral coding styles ( as compared to RTL ), the distinction between blocking and non-blocking can be relevant. In some cases, the synthesis tool may be able to infer functionally equivalent RTL from behavioral component designs. \$\endgroup\$ – Brent Bradburn Commented Jul 21, 2015 at 17:28
- \$\begingroup\$ Of course the procedural mode of SystemVerilog, applicable especially to initial statements within program blocks, uses (time-sequential) blocking assignment exclusively. This is useful for testbench design, but generally not for RTL specification. \$\endgroup\$ – Brent Bradburn Commented Dec 18, 2015 at 18:58

Verilog Tutorial
| Placing values onto variables and nets are called assignments. There are three necessary forms: An assignment has two parts, right-hand side (RHS) and left-hand side (LHS) with an equal symbol (=) or a less than-equal symbol (<=) in between.
The RHS can contain any expression that evaluates to a final value while the LHS indicates a variable or net to which RHS's value is being assigned. Procedural AssignmentProcedural assignments occur within procedures such as initial, always, task , and functions are used to place values onto variables. The variable will hold the value until the next assignment to the same variable. The value will be placed onto the variable when the simulation executes this statement during simulation time. This can be modified and controlled the way we want by using control flow statements such as if-else-if, looping , and case statement mechanisms. Variable Declaration Assignment An initial value can be placed onto a variable at the time of its declaration. The assignment does not have the duration and holds the value until the next assignment to the same variable happens. NOTE: The variable declaration assignments to an array are not allowed.If the variable is initialized during declaration and at 0 times in an initial block as shown below, the order of evaluation is not guaranteed, and hence can have either 8'h05 or 8'hee. Continuous AssignmentThis is used to assign values onto scalar and vector nets. And it happens whenever there is a change in the RHS. It provides a way to model combinational logic without specifying an interconnection of gates and makes it easier to drive the net with logical expressions. Whenever b or c changes its value, the whole expression in RHS will be evaluated and updated with the new value. Net Declaration Assignment This allows us to place a continuous assignment on the same statement that declares the net. NOTE: Only one declaration assignment is possible because a net can be declared only once.Procedural continuous assignment. These are procedural statements that allow expressions to be continuously assigned to variables or nets. And these are the two types. 1. Assign deassign: It will override all procedural assignments to a variable and deactivate it using the same signal with deassign . The value of the variable will remain the same until the variable gets a new value through a procedural or procedural continuous assignment. The LHS of an assign statement cannot be a part-select, bit-select, or an array reference, but it can be a variable or a combination of the variables. 2. Force release: These are similar to the assign deassign statements but can also be applied to nets and variables. The LHS can be a bit-select of a net, part-select of a net, variable, or a net but cannot be the reference to an array and bit or part select of a variable. The force statement will override all other assignments made to the variable until it is released using the release keyword.

There are many subtleties related to `define and `ifdef that make my head hurt. BOZO most of my testing was done on Verilog-XL before I really knew much about NCVerilog. It would be good to double-check all of these things on NCVerilog and make sure it behaves the same. Define is LazyAn important thing to realize is that the text which follows " `define foo " is not preprocessed once when it is read. Instead, it is separately preprocessed each time `foo is encountered. Hence, upon running the value of `bar will be 4. Includes are not followed if they are ifdef ed away.On both Verilog-XL and NCVerilog, it appears that an `include directives within ifdef -ed away blocks are NOT expanded. An easy way to test this is by writing a file called endif.v which simply contains: Then we can do things like this: We think this is pretty reasonable so we mimic this behavior. We Prohibit Certain Directives In DefinesIn Verilog-XL, `define can interact with the `ifdef tree in subtle ways. For instance, Verilog-XL accepts the following input: Yet when `foo is used inside of an ifdef'd-away section, it is not expanded. And so, the above example becomes a parse error if you merely remove the `define condition 1 line. Another subtlety. As expected, defines found within ifdefed-away parts of the code have no effect. For example, if not_defined is not defined, then upon running the value of `foo will correctly be 3. Similarly, writing `undef foo in the not_defined block does not actually undefine foo. But the preprocessor is not mindlessly skipping text until an `else or `elseif is encountered. For example, the following is well-formed and does not result in a too-many-endifs warning. This is insane, so we prohibit things like `define myendif `endif by disallowing the use of built-in directives in macro text. Note that we still permit the use of `define foo `bar , with the same lazy semantics that Verilog-XL uses. We Prohibit Defining or Testing Built-in Directive NamesWe do not allow compiler directive names to be `define d, or to be used within ifdef , ifndef , or elsif directives. Why is this? Note that macro names can be simple or escaped identifiers. In Section 3.7.1, we are told that the leading backslash character and trailing whitespace are not considered part of an escaped identifier, and that the escaped identifier \cpu3 is to be treated the same as cpu3 . Indeed, in Verilog-XL we find that the following works as expected: In Section 19.3.1, we are told that all compiler directives shall be considered predefined macro names, and it shall be illegal to redefine a compiler directive as a macro name. And Verilog-XL seems to rightfully complain about things like: And yet, Verilog-XL permits the following: While the following will be errors: Should \define be treated differently from define ? Maybe. After all, the point of escaped identifiers is probably to not clash with regular keywords. But on the other hand, if the predefined names are to be considered predefined, then shouldn't things like this always evaluate to true? But in Verilog-XL this is false unless you have done a `define \define like above. Verilog-XL also does not complain about `undef define, which seems strange. At any rate, to entirely avoid the question of what the right behavior is here, we simply prohibit the use of compiler directives, whether escaped or not, as names anywhere in defines , undefs , ifdefs , ifndefs , and elsifs . In practice this only prevents people from writing things like `define define and `ifdef undef , anyway, so this should not be too controversial. We make certain restrictions to disambiguate line continuations and comments.From 19.3.1, the macro text for a define is:
On the surface, this is straightforward enough. But it is difficult to know exactly how comments and these line continuations are supposed to interact. And Verilog-XL, in particular, has some very strange and seemingly inconsistent rules: To prevent any amiguity, we prohibit any combination of comments and continuations that seems difficult to understand. In particular, we impose the following "cowardly" restrictions on macro text:
These constriants make reading until the end of the macro text fairly complicated since we cannot stupidly read the text without interpreting it; rather we have to look for string literals, comments, escaped identifiers, etc. The goal is for everything we support will be interpreted in the same way by Verilog-XL and other tools.
