Using Verilog parameters in if else conditions


Consider the following Verilog code.

parameter  C_SUB_WIDTH  = 2;
parameter  C_SUB_HEIGHT = 2;
parameter  BIT_DEPTH    = 12;

reg [5:0]  single_block_width;

always @ (*) begin
    if(BIT_DEPTH == 8) begin
        case({C_SUB_HEIGHT == 1, C_SUB_WIDTH == 1})
            2'b00:  single_block_width = 6'd16;
            2'b10:  single_block_width = 6'd16;
            2'b11:  single_block_width = 6'd24;
            default:single_block_width = 6'dx;
        endcase
    end
    else if(BIT_DEPTH == 10) begin
        case({C_SUB_HEIGHT == 1, C_SUB_WIDTH == 1})
            2'b00:  single_block_width = 6'd16;
            2'b10:  single_block_width = 6'd24;
            2'b11:  single_block_width = 6'd32;
            default:single_block_width = 6'dx;
        endcase
    end
    else if(BIT_DEPTH == 12) begin
        case({C_SUB_HEIGHT == 1, C_SUB_WIDTH == 1})
            2'b00:  single_block_width = 6'd24;
            2'b10:  single_block_width = 6'd24;
            2'b11:  single_block_width = 6'd40;
            default:single_block_width = 6'dx;
        endcase
    end
    else begin
        single_block_width = 6'dx;
    end
end

Since C_SUB_WIDTH, C_SUB_HEIGHT and BIT_DEPTH are all parameters, would this make single_block_width, a parameter too?

If not, then how can I make single_block_width a parameter and set its' value based on above mentioned parameters?

I am using Xilinx Vivado to synthesize the above code. (Its has to be able to synthesize)

Thank you.


Solution

  • parameter [5:0] SINGLE_BLOCK_WIDTH = (BIT_DEPTH == 8) ? ((C_SUB_WIDTH == 0) ? ((C_SUB_HEIGHT == 0 ) ? 6'd16 : 6'd16) : 6'd24) 
                                     : ((BIT_DEPTH == 10) ? ((C_SUB_WIDTH == 0) ? ((C_SUB_HEIGHT == 0 ) ? 6'd16 : 6'd24) : 6'd32) 
                                       : (BIT_DEPTH == 12) ? ((C_SUB_WIDTH == 0) ? ((C_SUB_HEIGHT == 0 ) ? 6'd24 : 6'd24) : 6'd40));
    

    Try this type of coding. It may have logical error but it is synthesise.
