| Summary: | Field Programmable Logic Arrays (FPGAs) have been growing at a rapid rate in
the past few years. FPGA is a type of logic chip that can be programmed which supports
thousand of gates and provide flexibility and low cost which is suitable for
implementing a prototype system. The existence of CAD software to support FPGAs has
grown in sophistication and it makes most user designs are now complete system and go
to production as an FPGA. This thesis will discuss on FPGA design style using an 8-bit
ALU as design hardware. Generally, the methods that used to implement the 8-bit ALU
are using schematic based entry and VHDL based entry. Implementation of 8-bit ALU
using VHDL includes a behavioral and structural description. The top level of design is
using a schematic based entry. Finally this thesis will discuss the methods that are used
in designing the 8-bit A L U in term of the flexibility, area consumption and timing
analysis. The analysis will give the user more understanding in designing digital system
using FPGA design style and give them a choice which depends on the design
requirements. |
