How do I represent large delays in Verilog?

I want to use a delay of 5s in my Verilog testbench. However, the time scaling is 1ns/1ps. I do not want to change this scaling since it effects my clock.

But, how can I write a delay of 5s which is easy to read? Like #5e9?

Solution

  • #5e9 works on all simulators on EDA playground:

    `timescale 1ns/1ps

module tb;

initial begin
    #5e9;
    $display("Time=%0t", $time);
end

endmodule
