\chapter{Internal Cell Library}
|
|
\label{chapter:celllib}
|
|
|
|
Most of the passes in Yosys operate on netlists, i.e.~they only care about the RTLIL::Wire and RTLIL::Cell
|
|
objects in an RTLIL::Module. This chapter discusses the cell types used by Yosys to represent a behavioural
|
|
design internally.
|
|
|
|
This chapter is split in two parts. In the first part the internal RTL cells are covered. These cells
|
|
are used to represent the design on a coarse grain level. Like in the original HDL code on this level the
|
|
cells operate on vectors of signals and complex cells like adders exist. In the second part the internal
|
|
gate cells are covered. These cells are used to represent the design on a fine-grain gate-level. All cells
|
|
from this category operate on single bit signals.
|
|
|
|
\section{RTL Cells}
|
|
|
|
Most of the RTL cells closely resemble the operators available in HDLs such as
|
|
Verilog or VHDL. Therefore Verilog operators are used in the following sections
|
|
to define the behaviour of the RTL cells.
|
|
|
|
Note that all RTL cells have parameters indicating the size of inputs and outputs. When
|
|
passes modify RTL cells they must always keep the values of these parameters in sync with
|
|
the size of the signals connected to the inputs and outputs.
|
|
|
|
Simulation models for the RTL cells can be found in the file {\tt techlibs/common/simlib.v} in the Yosys
|
|
source tree.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Unary Operators}
|
|
|
|
All unary RTL cells have one input port \B{A} and one output port \B{Y}. They also
|
|
have the following parameters:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \B{A\_SIGNED} \\
|
|
Set to a non-zero value if the input \B{A} is signed and therefore should be sign-extended
|
|
when needed.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{A\_WIDTH} \\
|
|
The width of the input port \B{A}.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{Y\_WIDTH} \\
|
|
The width of the output port \B{Y}.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
Table~\ref{tab:CellLib_unary} lists all cells for unary RTL operators.
|
|
|
|
\begin{table}[t!]
|
|

\begin{tabular}{ll}

\caption{Cell types for unary operators with their corresponding Verilog expressions.}
|

\label{tab:CellLib_unary}
|

\end{table}
|
|
|
|
For the unary cells that output a logical value ({\tt \$reduce\_and}, {\tt \$reduce\_or},
|
|
{\tt \$reduce\_xor}, {\tt \$reduce\_xnor}, {\tt \$reduce\_bool}, {\tt \$logic\_not}),
|
|
when the \B{Y\_WIDTH} parameter is greater than 1, the output is zero-extended,
|
|
and only the least significant bit varies.
|
|
|
|
Note that {\tt \$reduce\_or} and {\tt \$reduce\_bool} actually represent the same
|
|
logic function. But the HDL frontends generate them in different situations. A
|
|
{\tt \$reduce\_or} cell is generated when the prefix {\tt |} operator is being used. A
|
|
{\tt \$reduce\_bool} cell is generated when a bit vector is used as a condition in
|
|
an {\tt if}-statement or {\tt ?:}-expression.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Binary Operators}
|
|
|
|
All binary RTL cells have two input ports \B{A} and \B{B} and one output port \B{Y}. They
|
|
also have the following parameters:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \B{A\_SIGNED} \\
|
|
Set to a non-zero value if the input \B{A} is signed and therefore should be sign-extended
|
|
when needed.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{A\_WIDTH} \\
|
|
The width of the input port \B{A}.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{B\_SIGNED} \\
|
|
Set to a non-zero value if the input \B{B} is signed and therefore should be sign-extended
|
|
when needed.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{B\_WIDTH} \\
|
|
The width of the input port \B{B}.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{Y\_WIDTH} \\
|
|
The width of the output port \B{Y}.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
Table~\ref{tab:CellLib_binary} lists all cells for binary RTL operators.

\caption{Cell types for binary operators with their corresponding Verilog expressions.}
|
|
\label{tab:CellLib_binary}
|
|
\end{table}
|
|
|
|
The {\tt \$shl} and {\tt \$shr} cells implement logical shifts, whereas the {\tt \$sshl} and
|
|
{\tt \$sshr} cells implement arithmetic shifts. The {\tt \$shl} and {\tt \$sshl} cells implement
|
|
the same operation. All four of these cells interpret the second operand as unsigned, and require
|
|
\B{B\_SIGNED} to be zero.
|
|
|
|
Two additional shift operator cells are available that do not directly correspond to any operator
|
|
in Verilog, {\tt \$shift} and {\tt \$shiftx}. The {\tt \$shift} cell performs a right logical shift
|
|
if the second operand is positive (or unsigned), and a left logical shift if it is negative.
|
|
The {\tt \$shiftx} cell performs the same operation as the {\tt \$shift} cell, but the vacated bit
|
|
positions are filled with undef (x) bits, and corresponds to the Verilog indexed part-select expression.
|
|
|
|
For the binary cells that output a logical value ({\tt \$logic\_and}, {\tt \$logic\_or},
|
|
{\tt \$eqx}, {\tt \$nex}, {\tt \$lt}, {\tt \$le}, {\tt \$eq}, {\tt \$ne}, {\tt \$ge},
|
|
{\tt \$gt}), when the \B{Y\_WIDTH} parameter is greater than 1, the output is zero-extended,
|
|
and only the least significant bit varies.
|
|
|
|
Division and modulo cells are available in two rounding modes. The original {\tt \$div} and {\tt \$mod}
|
|
cells are based on truncating division, and correspond to the semantics of the verilog {\tt /} and
|
|
{\tt \%} operators. The {\tt \$divfloor} and {\tt \$modfloor} cells represent flooring division and
|
|
flooring modulo, the latter of which is also known as ``remainder'' in several languages. See
|
|
table~\ref{tab:CellLib_divmod} for a side-by-side comparison between the different semantics.

\subsection{Multiplexers}
|
|
|
|
Multiplexers are generated by the Verilog HDL frontend for {\tt
|
|
?:}-expressions. Multiplexers are also generated by the {\tt proc} pass to map the decision trees
|
|
from RTLIL::Process objects to logic.
|
|
|
|
The simplest multiplexer cell type is {\tt \$mux}. Cells of this type have a \B{WIDTH} parameter
|
|
and data inputs \B{A} and \B{B} and a data output \B{Y}, all of the specified width. This cell also
|
|
has a single bit control input \B{S}. If \B{S} is 0 the value from the \B{A} input is sent to
|
|
the output, if it is 1 the value from the \B{B} input is sent to the output. So the {\tt \$mux}
|
|
cell implements the function \lstinline[language=Verilog]; Y = S ? B : A;.
|
|
|
|
The {\tt \$pmux} cell is used to multiplex between many inputs using a one-hot select signal. Cells
|
|
of this type have a \B{WIDTH} and a \B{S\_WIDTH} parameter and inputs \B{A}, \B{B}, and \B{S} and
|
|
an output \B{Y}. The \B{S} input is \B{S\_WIDTH} bits wide. The \B{A} input and the output are both
|
|
\B{WIDTH} bits wide and the \B{B} input is \B{WIDTH}*\B{S\_WIDTH} bits wide. When all bits of
|
|
\B{S} are zero, the value from \B{A} input is sent to the output. If the $n$'th bit from \B{S} is
|
|
set, the value $n$'th \B{WIDTH} bits wide slice of the \B{B} input is sent to the output. When more
|
|
than one bit from \B{S} is set the output is undefined. Cells of this type are used to model
|
|
``parallel cases'' (defined by using the {\tt parallel\_case} attribute or detected by
|
|
an optimization).
|
|
|
|
The {\tt \$tribuf} cell is used to implement tristate logic. Cells of this type have a \B{WIDTH}
|
|
parameter and inputs \B{A} and \B{EN} and an output \B{Y}. The \B{A} input and \B{Y} output are
|
|
\B{WIDTH} bits wide, and the \B{EN} input is one bit wide. When \B{EN} is 0, the output \B{Y}
|
|
is not driven. When \B{EN} is 1, the value from \B{A} input is sent to the \B{Y} output. Therefore,
|
|
the {\tt \$tribuf} cell implements the function \lstinline[language=Verilog]; Y = EN ? A : 'bz;.
|
|
|
|
Behavioural code with cascaded {\tt if-then-else}- and {\tt case}-statements
|
|
usually results in trees of multiplexer cells. Many passes (from various
|
|
optimizations to FSM extraction) heavily depend on these multiplexer trees to
|
|
understand dependencies between signals. Therefore optimizations should not
|
|
break these multiplexer trees (e.g.~by replacing a multiplexer between a
|
|
calculated signal and a constant zero with an {\tt \$and} gate).
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Registers}
|
|
|
|
SR-type latches are represented by {\tt \$sr} cells. These cells have input ports
|
|
\B{SET} and \B{CLR} and an output port \B{Q}. They have the following parameters:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \B{WIDTH} \\
|
|
The width of inputs \B{SET} and \B{CLR} and output \B{Q}.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{SET\_POLARITY} \\
|
|
The set input bits are active-high if this parameter has the value {\tt 1'b1} and active-low
|
|
if this parameter is {\tt 1'b0}.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{CLR\_POLARITY} \\
|
|
The reset input bits are active-high if this parameter has the value {\tt 1'b1} and active-low
|
|
if this parameter is {\tt 1'b0}.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
Both set and reset inputs have separate bits for every output bit.
|
|
When both the set and reset inputs of an {\tt \$sr} cell are active for a given bit
|
|
index, the reset input takes precedence.
|
|
|
|
D-type flip-flops are represented by {\tt \$dff} cells. These cells have a clock port \B{CLK},
|
|
an input port \B{D} and an output port \B{Q}. The following parameters are available for {\tt \$dff}
|
|
cells:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \B{WIDTH} \\
|
|
The width of input \B{D} and output \B{Q}.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{CLK\_POLARITY} \\
|
|
Clock is active on the positive edge if this parameter has the value {\tt 1'b1} and on the negative
|
|
edge if this parameter is {\tt 1'b0}.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
D-type flip-flops with asynchronous reset are represented by {\tt \$adff} cells. As the {\tt \$dff}
|
|
cells they have \B{CLK}, \B{D} and \B{Q} ports. In addition they also have a single-bit \B{ARST}
|
|
input port for the reset pin and the following additional two parameters:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \B{ARST\_POLARITY} \\
|
|
The asynchronous reset is active-high if this parameter has the value {\tt 1'b1} and active-low
|
|
if this parameter is {\tt 1'b0}.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{ARST\_VALUE} \\
|
|
The state of \B{Q} will be set to this value when the reset is active.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\begin{sloppypar}
|
|
Usually these cells are generated by the {\tt proc} pass using the information
|
|
in the designs RTLIL::Process objects.
|
|
\end{sloppypar}
|
|
|
|
D-type flip-flops with synchronous reset are represented by {\tt \$sdff} cells. As the {\tt \$dff}
|
|
cells they have \B{CLK}, \B{D} and \B{Q} ports. In addition they also have a single-bit \B{SRST}
|
|
input port for the reset pin and the following additional two parameters:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \B{SRST\_POLARITY} \\
|
|
The synchronous reset is active-high if this parameter has the value {\tt 1'b1} and active-low
|
|
if this parameter is {\tt 1'b0}.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{SRST\_VALUE} \\
|
|
The state of \B{Q} will be set to this value when the reset is active.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
Note that the {\tt \$adff} and {\tt \$sdff} cells can only be used when the reset value is constant.
|
|
|
|
D-type flip-flops with asynchronous set and reset are represented by {\tt \$dffsr} cells.
|
|
As the {\tt \$dff} cells they have \B{CLK}, \B{D} and \B{Q} ports. In addition they also have
|
|
multi-bit \B{SET} and \B{CLR} input ports and the corresponding polarity parameters, like
|
|
{\tt \$sr} cells.
|
|
|
|
D-type flip-flops with enable are represented by {\tt \$dffe}, {\tt \$adffe}, {\tt \$dffsre},
|
|
{\tt \$sdffe}, and {\tt \$sdffce} cells, which are enhanced variants of {\tt \$dff}, {\tt \$adff}, {\tt \$dffsr},
|
|
{\tt \$sdff} (with reset over enable) and {\tt \$sdff} (with enable over reset)
|
|
cells, respectively. They have the same ports and parameters as their base cell.
|
|
In addition they also have a single-bit \B{EN} input port for the enable pin and the following parameter:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \B{EN\_POLARITY} \\
|
|
The enable input is active-high if this parameter has the value {\tt 1'b1} and active-low
|
|
if this parameter is {\tt 1'b0}.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
D-type latches are represented by {\tt \$dlatch} cells. These cells have an enable port \B{EN},
|
|
an input port \B{D}, and an output port \B{Q}. The following parameters are available for {\tt \$dlatch} cells:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \B{WIDTH} \\
|
|
The width of input \B{D} and output \B{Q}.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{EN\_POLARITY} \\
|
|
The enable input is active-high if this parameter has the value {\tt 1'b1} and active-low
|
|
if this parameter is {\tt 1'b0}.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
The latch is transparent when the \B{EN} input is active.
|
|
|
|
D-type latches with reset are represented by {\tt \$adlatch} cells. In addition to {\tt \$dlatch}
|
|
ports and parameters, they also have a single-bit \B{ARST} input port for the reset pin and the following additional parameters:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \B{ARST\_POLARITY} \\
|
|
The asynchronous reset is active-high if this parameter has the value {\tt 1'b1} and active-low
|
|
if this parameter is {\tt 1'b0}.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{ARST\_VALUE} \\
|
|
The state of \B{Q} will be set to this value when the reset is active.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
D-type latches with set and reset are represented by {\tt \$dlatchsr} cells.
|
|
In addition to {\tt \$dlatch} ports and parameters, they also have multi-bit
|
|
\B{SET} and \B{CLR} input ports and the corresponding polarity parameters, like
|
|
{\tt \$sr} cells.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Memories}
|
|
\label{sec:memcells}
|
|
|
|
Memories are either represented using RTLIL::Memory objects, {\tt \$memrd}, {\tt \$memwr}, and {\tt \$meminit\_v2}
|
|
cells, or by {\tt \$mem} cells alone.
|
|
|
|
In the first alternative the RTLIL::Memory objects hold the general metadata for the memory (bit width,
|
|
size in number of words, etc.) and for each port a {\tt \$memrd} (read port) or {\tt \$memwr} (write port)
|
|
cell is created. Having individual cells for read and write ports has the advantage that they can be
|
|
consolidated using resource sharing passes. In some cases this drastically reduces the number of required
|
|
ports on the memory cell. In this alternative, memory initialization data is represented by {\tt \$meminit\_v2} cells,
|
|
which allow delaying constant folding for initialization addresses and data until after the frontend finishes.
|
|
|
|
The {\tt \$memrd} cells have a clock input \B{CLK}, an enable input \B{EN}, an
|
|
address input \B{ADDR}, and a data output \B{DATA}. They also have the
|
|
following parameters:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \B{MEMID} \\
|
|
The name of the RTLIL::Memory object that is associated with this read port.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{ABITS} \\
|
|
The number of address bits (width of the \B{ADDR} input port).
|
|
|
|
\item \B{WIDTH} \\
|
|
The number of data bits (width of the \B{DATA} output port).
|
|
|
|
\item \B{CLK\_ENABLE} \\
|
|
When this parameter is non-zero, the clock is used. Otherwise this read port is asynchronous and
|
|
the \B{CLK} input is not used.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{CLK\_POLARITY} \\
|
|
Clock is active on the positive edge if this parameter has the value {\tt 1'b1} and on the negative
|
|
edge if this parameter is {\tt 1'b0}.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{TRANSPARENT} \\
|
|
If this parameter is set to {\tt 1'b1}, a read and write to the same address in the same cycle will
|
|
return the new value. Otherwise the old value is returned.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
The {\tt \$memwr} cells have a clock input \B{CLK}, an enable input \B{EN} (one
|
|
enable bit for each data bit), an address input \B{ADDR} and a data input
|
|
\B{DATA}. They also have the following parameters:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \B{MEMID} \\
|
|
The name of the RTLIL::Memory object that is associated with this write port.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{ABITS} \\
|
|
The number of address bits (width of the \B{ADDR} input port).
|
|
|
|
\item \B{WIDTH} \\
|
|
The number of data bits (width of the \B{DATA} output port).
|
|
|
|
\item \B{CLK\_ENABLE} \\
|

When this parameter is non-zero, the clock is used. Otherwise this write port is asynchronous and
|
|
the \B{CLK} input is not used.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{CLK\_POLARITY} \\
|
|
Clock is active on positive edge if this parameter has the value {\tt 1'b1} and on the negative

edge if this parameter is {\tt 1'b0}.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{PRIORITY} \\
|
|
The cell with the higher integer value in this parameter wins a write conflict.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
The {\tt \$meminit\_v2} cells have an address input \B{ADDR}, a data input \B{DATA}, with the width
|
|
of the \B{DATA} port equal to \B{WIDTH} parameter times \B{WORDS} parameter, and a bit enable mask input
|
|
\B{EN} with width equal to \B{WIDTH} parameter. All three of the inputs
|
|
must resolve to a constant for synthesis to succeed.
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \B{MEMID} \\
|
|
The name of the RTLIL::Memory object that is associated with this initialization cell.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{ABITS} \\
|
|
The number of address bits (width of the \B{ADDR} input port).
|
|
|
|
\item \B{WIDTH} \\
|
|
The number of data bits per memory location.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{WORDS} \\
|
|
The number of consecutive memory locations initialized by this cell.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{PRIORITY} \\
|
|
The cell with the higher integer value in this parameter wins an initialization conflict.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
The HDL frontend models a memory using RTLIL::Memory objects and asynchronous
|
|
{\tt \$memrd} and {\tt \$memwr} cells. The {\tt memory} pass (i.e.~its various sub-passes) migrates
|
|
{\tt \$dff} cells into the {\tt \$memrd} and {\tt \$memwr} cells making them synchronous, then
|
|
converts them to a single {\tt \$mem} cell and (optionally) maps this cell type
|
|
to {\tt \$dff} cells for the individual words and multiplexer-based address decoders for the read and
|
|
write interfaces. When the last step is disabled or not possible, a {\tt \$mem} cell is left in the design.
|
|
|
|
The {\tt \$mem} cell provides the following parameters:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \B{MEMID} \\
|
|
The name of the original RTLIL::Memory object that became this {\tt \$mem} cell.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{SIZE} \\
|
|
The number of words in the memory.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{ABITS} \\
|
|
The number of address bits.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{WIDTH} \\
|
|
The number of data bits per word.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{INIT} \\
|
|
The initial memory contents.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{RD\_PORTS} \\
|
|
The number of read ports on this memory cell.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{RD\_CLK\_ENABLE} \\
|
|
This parameter is \B{RD\_PORTS} bits wide, containing a clock enable bit for each read port.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{RD\_CLK\_POLARITY} \\
|
|
This parameter is \B{RD\_PORTS} bits wide, containing a clock polarity bit for each read port.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{RD\_TRANSPARENT} \\
|
|
This parameter is \B{RD\_PORTS} bits wide, containing a transparent bit for each read port.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{WR\_PORTS} \\
|
|
The number of write ports on this memory cell.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{WR\_CLK\_ENABLE} \\
|
|
This parameter is \B{WR\_PORTS} bits wide, containing a clock enable bit for each write port.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{WR\_CLK\_POLARITY} \\
|
|
This parameter is \B{WR\_PORTS} bits wide, containing a clock polarity bit for each write port.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
The {\tt \$mem} cell has the following ports:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \B{RD\_CLK} \\
|
|
This input is \B{RD\_PORTS} bits wide, containing all clock signals for the read ports.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{RD\_EN} \\
|
|
This input is \B{RD\_PORTS} bits wide, containing all enable signals for the read ports.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{RD\_ADDR} \\
|
|
This input is \B{RD\_PORTS}*\B{ABITS} bits wide, containing all address signals for the read ports.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{RD\_DATA} \\
|
|
This input is \B{RD\_PORTS}*\B{WIDTH} bits wide, containing all data signals for the read ports.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{WR\_CLK} \\
|
|
This input is \B{WR\_PORTS} bits wide, containing all clock signals for the write ports.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{WR\_EN} \\

This input is \B{WR\_PORTS}*\B{ABITS} bits wide, containing all address signals for the write ports.
|
|
|
|
\item \B{WR\_DATA} \\
|
|
This input is \B{WR\_PORTS}*\B{WIDTH} bits wide, containing all data signals for the write ports.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
The {\tt memory\_collect} pass can be used to convert discrete {\tt \$memrd}, {\tt \$memwr}, and {\tt \$meminit\_v2} cells
|
|
belonging to the same memory to a single {\tt \$mem} cell, whereas the {\tt memory\_unpack} pass performs the inverse operation.
|
|
The {\tt memory\_dff} pass can combine asynchronous memory ports that are fed by or feeding registers into synchronous memory ports.
|
|
The {\tt memory\_bram} pass can be used to recognize {\tt \$mem} cells that can be implemented with a block RAM resource on an FPGA.
|
|
The {\tt memory\_map} pass can be used to implement {\tt \$mem} cells as basic logic: word-wide DFFs and address decoders.

For gate level logic networks, fixed function single bit cells are used that do
|
|
not provide any parameters.
|
|
|
|
Simulation models for these cells can be found in the file {\tt techlibs/common/simcells.v} in the Yosys
|
|
source tree.

In most cases gate level logic networks are created from RTL networks using the {\tt techmap} pass. The flip-flop cells
|
|
from the gate level logic network can be mapped to physical flip-flop cells from a Liberty file using the {\tt dfflibmap}
|
|
pass. The combinatorial logic cells can be mapped to physical cells from a Liberty file via ABC \citeweblink{ABC}
|
|
using the {\tt abc} pass.
