1.1 Introduction to This Chapter
1.2 What is a 1PPS Signal?
1.3 An Overview of Verilog’s Application in Digital Circuit Design

In this chapter, we will introduce the basic concept of the 1PPS signal and provide an overview of Verilog’s application in digital circuit design. As technology continues to advance, the application of 1PPS signals becomes increasingly widespread, and Verilog, as a hardware description language, plays a significant role in realizing digital circuit design. This chapter will lay the foundation for subsequent chapters, offering readers a clear understanding of 1PPS signals and Verilog.
2. Overview of 1PPS Signals

2.1 Basic Characteristics of 1PPS Signals
A 1PPS signal is a pulse signal that triggers once per second, with a period of 1 second. It is typically used in synchronization systems for precise time calibration and various time-related applications.

2.2 The Importance of 1PPS Signals in Electronic Devices
1PPS signals are widely used in many electronic devices, such as GPS receivers, communication equipment, computer networks, etc. They can provide an accurate time base, used for data synchronization, event triggering, and more.

2.3 How 1PPS Signals Work
1PPS signals are usually transmitted by GPS satellites, but can also be generated in other ways. They work by producing a pulse signal at a frequency of 1Hz, used to synchronize the operation of various modules within a system.

In the second chapter, we have detailed the basic characteristics of 1PPS signals, their importance in electronic devices, and their operational principles. The next section will continue to delve into the specific methods of using Verilog to implement a 1PPS signal generator.
3. Introduction to Verilog
Verilog is a hardware description language (HDL) commonly used to describe and design digital circuits. It has a syntax structure similar to C language, which makes it easy for hardware engineers to engage in hardware design. In digital circuit design, Verilog is often used to describe the behavior and structure of logic circuits, as well as the design of FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays).
3.1 Overview of Verilog
Verilog was initially developed by Phil Moorby of Gateway Design Automation (now part of Cadence Design Systems) in the early 1980s. It is a hardware description language that can be used to represent the behavior and structure of digital systems.
3.2 Verilog’s Application in Hardware Description
Verilog is widely used in digital circuit design, capable of describing digital modules, register transfer level (RTL) circuits, and more. With Verilog, designers can describe the functionality, timing, and structure of circuits, enabling simulation, synthesis, and verification.
3.3 Verilog’s Advantages in FPGA Design
FPGAs are programmable logic devices, and Verilog plays a significant role in FPGA design. Designers can use Verilog to describe the logic function
