How Hardware s Inferred- if vs case

5.2.5. if vs case

Multiflexer is faster circuit. Therefore is priority encoding structure is not required then use ‘case’ staements instead of ‘if-else’ statement.

Use late arriving signal early in an ‘if-else’ loop to keep these late arriving signals with critical timing closest to the output of a logic block.
