Single Port RAM Fix

Your single-port RAM Verilog code is logically structured but has a few areas for improvement:

Issues & Improvements:

1. Read Operation Issue:

The way `addr_reg` is assigned in the `else` condition makes the read operation not
work as expected.
The read should happen asynchronously or should use the same clocking mechanism
as the write.
2. `$dumpfile` Filename Issue:
The filename should have `.vcd` extension: `wave_single_port_ram.vcd`.
3. Missing Delay for Read Verification:
After setting `we = 0`, a small delay should be added before reading the stored values.

Corrected Code:

Here’s an improved and fully functional version of your code:

Updated `single_port_ram` Module

verilog

module single_port_ram (
input [7:0] data,
input [5:0] addr,
input we, clock,
output reg [7:0] q
);

reg [7:0] ram [63:0];

always @ (posedge clock) begin

if (we)
ram[addr] <= data; // Write Operation
else
q <= ram[addr]; // Read Operation (Fixed)
end

endmodule

Updated `single_port_ram_tb` Testbench

verilog

module single_port_ram_tb ();

reg [7:0] data;

single_port_ram dut (data, addr, we, clock, q);

initial clock = 1;
always #5 clock = ~clock; // Clock Toggle Every 5 Time Units

initial begin
$dumpfile("wave_single_port_ram.vcd"); // Added .vcd Extension
$dumpvars(0, single_port_ram_tb);
end

initial begin
$monitor(" time=%3t | data=%h | addr=%d | we=%b | clock=%b | q=%h ", $time, data, addr,
end

initial begin
// Write Cycle
we = 1;
data = 8'h01; addr = 6'd0; #10;
data = 8'h02; addr = 6'd1; #10;
data = 8'h03; addr = 6'd2; #10;

// Read Cycle
we = 0;
#5; addr = 6'd0; #10; // Small Delay Added
#5; addr = 6'd1; #10;
#5; addr = 6'd2; #10;

$finish;
end

endmodule

Fixes & Enhancements in the Testbench

1. `$dumpfile` Filename Fix:

Changed `"wave_single_port_ram"` → `"wave_single_port_ram.vcd"`.
2. Fixed Read Operation:
The original design stored the address in `addr_reg`, which was unnecessary.
Now, `q` is directly updated from `ram[addr]` during the clocked read.
3. Added Small Delays Before Reads:
To properly observe values stored in RAM.

Expected Waveform Output

When you run the simulation, the RAM should behave as follows:

Time (ns) `we` `addr` `data` (Written) `q` (Read Data)

0 1 0 0x01 -
10 1 1 0x02 -
20 1 2 0x03 -
30 0 0 - 0x01

This corrected version ensures: ✅

Correct Read/Write Operations
✅ Proper Clock Synchronization
✅ Correct Testbench Execution
Try running this updated code, and let me know if you have any further issues! 🚀
Here is the Verilog RTL code for a Synchronous Dual-Port RAM that satisfies all the given
specifications.

Key Features Implemented

✅ Dual-Port Design: Two ports ( and ) for independent read/write operations.

✅ Single Clock Synchronization: All operations happen on the same clock edge.
`port_0` `port_1`

✅ Same Port for Read/Write: Each port ( and

`data_0` ) is bidirectional for both read and
`data_1`
write.
✅ Simultaneous Read & Write to Different Ports: Reads and writes can happen simultaneously
to different ports, but not to the same port at the same time.
✅ Same Address Read/Write: The same address can be accessed by both ports simultaneously.
✅ Reset Handling:
If `we_x = 1` during reset → RAM is cleared to `0`.
If `we_x = 0` & `oe_x = 1` during reset → Outputs are `0`.

Key Features Implemented

✅ Dual-Port Design: Separate read ( ) and write (

`port_rd` ) ports for independent
`port_wr`
operations.
✅ Single Clock Synchronization: All read/write operations occur on the same clock edge.
✅ Different Ports for Read/Write:
`address_wr` & `data_wr` → Write operations.
`address_rd` & `data_rd` → Read operations.
✅ Simultaneous Read/Write at the Same Address: Possible without conflicts.
✅ Reset Handling:
If `we = 1` during reset → RAM is cleared to 0.
If `re = 1` during reset → `data_rd` output is set to `0`.
