$display maximum value?

jmountney · Sep 9, 2013

Is there a maximum value $display can print to console window? I am running a 'for loop' and I want the console window to display some large values (e.g. 3.5 * 10^9). However, these numbers are getting displayed as large negative values. Does $display possibly interpret values as signed integers or two's compliment with a maximum bit width? Thanks in advance ...

Code:

for (k = 35000; k > 0; k = k - 1) begin
	#100000
	$display("Sector Erase finished in ", k*100000, " ns.");
end

"Expressions that are not written using a format specifier are written in decimal
format"

try $display("Sector Erase finished in %e", k*100000, " ns."); or
try $display("Sector Erase finished in %.1e", k*100000, " ns.");
