Learn Verilog by Example

A shift register will "shift" itself to the left or right by one position every clock cycle. A shift left - shift left circuit, as simple as it sounds is a very important part of many circuits and will be a part of many of my future projects and that is why it needs to be addressed. The code for this circuit in verilog is written below. It is very simple and does not need any detailed explanation. It is controlled by 2 control signals which determines whether the circuit will shift right or left. If control[0] is high the circuit will shift right and if control[1] is high the circuit will shift left and if both are low stay with the default value. The data shifted is stored in an internal register and is output as a bus. I have coded it using if - else statements. This can also be coded using a case block if further control is required. module shift( input clock, input reset, input [1:0] control, input in, output [7:0] out ); reg [7:0] r_reg, r_nex
