Integer Handling in Verilog Case Statements Example - 2023.1 English

In the following coding example, the case item expression 4 is an unsized integer that causes unpredictable results. To resolve this issue, size the case item expression 4 to 3 bits, as shown in the following example:

reg [2:0] condition1; always @(condition1) begin
case(condition1)
4 : data_out = 2; // Generates faulty logic
3'd4 : data_out = 2; // Does work
endcase
end
