Verilog or SystemVerilog `timescale` specification

Timescale to use in generated Verilog or SystemVerilog code

Model Configuration Pane: Global Settings / Coding style

Description

Specify the timescale that you want to use in the generated Verilog or SystemVerilog code.

Dependencies

This option is enabled when:

The target language (specified by the Language option) is Verilog or SystemVerilog.
The Use Verilog or SystemVerilog `timescale directives option is enabled.

Settings

`timescale 1 ns/1 ns (default) | character vector

Default: `timescale 1 ns/1 ns

HDL Coder™ applies this option to the timescale directive in the generated Verilog or SystemVerilog code. You can customize the default timescale and specify a valid, compilable timescale directive. The Verilog and SystemVerilog languages uses this directive to determine the time units and the precision for calculating delay values.

By default, both the time units and precision are 1ns. For example, if you customized the timescale to `timescale 1 ns/1 ps, a delay unit becomes 1ns and the value is precise to the nearest 1 ps.

Recommended Settings

No recommended settings.
