This is a simple n-bit wrapping up counter. The n parameter can be changed to make this 4, 8, … bit counter were n = <number of bits> – 1. The CLK signal can be any signal you want and will increment the value of the counter on the positive edge of a pulse, RST is the negative edge reset signal which will reset the counter to 0 or any number of your choosing also be sure to change the initial value, which is the starting value when the module initialized. The output count is the current value of the counter.

12/28/2013: Update signals names to better represent function; Added test bench.
i donot know how to generate waveforms by using verilog test bunch . could you please post code for that
Any particular type of waveform you are trying to create?
please post more details about counters types and their circuit diagram ,woking, timing diagaram
please send me testbench of this code (Verilog: n-Bit Up Counter) at aliraza1150@live.com
or post it in comment box…
i can not write it
i am using Model sim simulation softwere to impliment Verilog: n-Bit Up Counter
thank you sir
I want to generate a waveform from clock pulse so that it is high only at the first clock pulse and low at the rest…
I wanted to do it using counter. Facing some issues in it. Any suggestions?
Also can it be done by any other method?
P.S. Thankyou
