@jeppe,
Thanks for code.
i tried to compile it..i think i am not giving correct input values to i/p ports.
and one more doubt is that u have taken full,empty as inout ports...
in output waveform they are at Z value.
Is thr anyway to send my simulation waveform so that u can figure out whts going on worng??

Thanks,
KSR

Hi KSR

I actually simulated and tested the design - TestBench below
the INOUT signals will not be Z unless you tell it to be so. The INOUT could be substituted with BUFFER if you like.

Your welcome
Jeppe

@jeppe,
Okay i understood..Thanks..
Are there any nice books that i can refer for writing testbenches ...becuase i want to learn them..

[jeppe]

Most books do have chapters of about the topic testbenching.
But I can't give you a specific title.
The EVITA gives some hints about delays - My example above will be sufficent for most cases.
