Flop captures while the clock is high · case 03
q follows d on every sample the clock is high rather than only at the rising edge.
Case contract
Input: samples [clk, d, en, rst_n] at successive instants. q starts as "x". Active-low rst_n==0 forces q=0 immediately regardless of clock. Otherwise a rising clock edge (previous sample clk 0, this sample clk 1; the first sample is never an edge) with en==1 loads d. The previous clock value is tracked on every sample, including while reset is asserted. Return q after each sample.
Why this case matters
Register models in cycle simulators must distinguish asynchronous from synchronous control and detect true clock edges.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| reset released during clock high | ["x", 0, 0, 1, 1, 0] | ["x", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] | Failed |
