Project – design, layout, and simulate an 8–bit ALU that can perform: A AND B, A OR B, A + B (addition), and A – B (subtraction).

First half of the project (no layout), a jelib of your design and an html report detailing operation (including simulations), is due at the beginning of lab on Nov. 8

The top level ALU icon used for simulations should have the following inputs (all bus connections): A (8–bits), B (8–bits),  F (2 bits), and Z (8–bits).

Ensure that you have input vectors saved for simulations when I run IRSIM (make it easy for me to verify your design works).

Put your report (proj.htm) in a folder called /proj in your directory at CMOSedu

I will go over your designs with you, including running simulations, when we meet on Nov. 8.

Second half of the project, a verified layout and documention (in html), is due at the beginning of lab on Nov. 22.

Again, I will meet with you on Nov. 22 to go over your layout and, again, put your work in the /proj folder in your directory at CMOSedu

Finishing the projects by Nov. 22 will give us time to assemble chips for fabrication through MOSIS.

Policies 

  • Unlike the lectures, laptops can be used during the lab. Please bring your laptop with you to lab!
  • If a quiz is open book then only the course textbook can be used (no ebooks, Kindle, Nook, etc., older/international editions, or photocopies).
  • No late work accepted. Regularly being tardy for labs, leaving in the middle of labs, or leaving early is unacceptable without consent of the instructor.
  • Cheating or plagiarism will result in an automatic F grade in the lab
  • Questions for the instructor (only) should be asked in person (not via email).
