Learn VERILOG with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 20, 2025
Learning Path
Start with basic modules and signals
Learn reg vs wire behavior
Practice always blocks and testbenches
Build FSMs, ALUs, UARTs
Move into CPU design or FPGA synthesis
Skill Improvement Plan
Week 1: Syntax + combinational logic
Week 2: Sequential logic + FSMs
Week 3: Testbenches + waveforms
Week 4: Pipelining + FPGA synthesis
Interview Questions
Difference between reg and wire?
Blocking vs non-blocking assignments?
Explain always @(*) vs always @(posedge clk).
What is synthesizable vs non-synthesizable Verilog?
How do you avoid race conditions?
Cheat Sheet
module NAME (input, output);
assign y = a & b;
always @(*) begin ... end
always @(posedge clk) begin ... end
<= non-blocking for sequential, = blocking for combinational
