Understanding $Rose and $Fell in SystemVerilog | Edge Detection Explained
The video explains SystemVerilog's $rose and $fell system functions (referred to as “dollar rows” and “dollar fill” in the transcript) for edge detection. $rose returns true on a 0→1 transition of a signal at the sampled clock edge, while $fell returns true on a 1→0 transition; otherwise they return false. The presenter walks through timing waveforms to show how these functions sample the stable value just before a clock edge and highlights behavior when transitions occur at the edge. Several examples illustrate when each function produces a pulse or remains zero.
