But in RTL design, they represent different simulation behaviors and are used to describe different kinds of hardware behavior. Choosing the wrong one can lead to simulation races, unexpected results, difficult debugging, and differences between what an engineer thinks the RTL does and what the simulation actually shows.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The basic rule is easy to remember:<\/span><\/p><p><b>Use blocking assignments (<\/b><b>=<\/b><b>) primarily for combinational logic and non-blocking assignments (<\/b><b>&lt;=<\/b><b>) primarily for sequential logic.<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, understanding <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">why<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> this rule exists is much more valuable than simply memorizing it. The distinction comes from how Verilog schedules assignments during simulation.
