SystemVerilog allows the use of vector types as edge event expressions. However, in this case, the transition would be detected only for the least significant bit of the vector. Edge detection is usually used for clocks and asynchronous reset signals which are supposed to be scalar. Sigasi Studio reports usages of vectors in edge event controls, as they’re most likely an indication of signal name typo or an incorrect data type of a control signal.
module ff(input [7:0] d, clk, output [7:0] q);
always_ff @(posedge clk) begin // Edge event detection on 'logic [7:0]'. Only changes to the LSB of the vector will be detected
q <= d;
end
endmodule
If detecting the edge on a single bit of the vector signal is intentional, using bit-selection can show this decision explicitly:
module ffs#(WIDTH = 8) (input [WIDTH-1:0] d, clk, output [WIDTH-1:0] q);
for (genvar i = 0; i < WIDTH; i++) begin
always_ff @(posedge clk[i]) begin
q[i] <= d[i];
end
end
endmodule
Rule configuration
This rule can be disabled for your project, or its severity and parameters can be modified in the project linting settings. Alternatively, it can be manually configured with the following template:
143/severity/${path}={error|warning|info|ignore}
