  1. CS 2204 Spring 2014 • Experiment 1 Lab 3 Outline • Presentation • Using CS2204 Lab & Engineering Fundamentals • Digital Design Trends • Digital Design Tools • Using Term Project (pages 8 – 13 and 16 - 20) • The input/output relationship≡ Operation≡ Purpose ≡ Game rules • Term project operation diagram and initial partitionings • Analysis of Block 2 of the term project • Individual work • Experiment 1 is over three weeks : Labs 3, 4 and 5 • Develop a 4-bit 2-to-1 MUX of Block 2 • By using 1-bit 2-to-1 MUXes over three weeks • Today • Analyze (simulate) a 4-bit 2-to-1 MUX of Block 2 • Simulation of other components in ppm

  2. Digital Design Trends • Current Digital Design Tools • Even if we use current digital engineering design techniques • Top-down, team-based and core-based design • Today’s circuits are too complex to be developed fast • One needs powerful tools to simplify the design process CS 2204 Spring 2014

  3. Current Digital Engineering Design Tools • Computer aided design (CAD) software to develop circuits on computers • Computers handle the details • Field Programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to physically test the chip designed • FPGAs are used when a new chip is developed • Complex circuits require more than one FPGA chip CS 2204 Spring 2014

  4. CAD Software • Abstracts the design by hiding details unnecessary at the moment • Design editors • To design the circuit • Schematic and hardware description language (HDL) • Logic and timing simulators • To test the design • FPGA interfaces and downloaders • Chip layout editors • PCB layout editors CS 2204 Spring 2014

  5. CS 2204 Spring 2014 • CAD Software • Polytechnic digital design software packages • Xilinx ISE , Mentor Graphics, Cadence, Synopsis • All industry software packages • Senior-level and graduate courses use them • Xilinx ISE 12.4 • Targets FPGA as the final product, not chips • Mentor Graphics, Cadence and Synopsis target chips and/or PCBs • We will use it to do schematic design, simulations and FPGAimplementations • Installed on PCs in 227RH

  6. a b a c y(a, b, c) =a.b + a.c CS 2204 Spring 2014 • Digital Design • Schematic (traditional) • Circuit diagrams with gates, FFs and wires are drawn • Impractical if the component (gate + FF) count is high such as today’s microprocessors

  7. Schematic Design • One schematic sheet containing many components and wires is prohibitive • Still impractical even if the schematic is partitioned to sheets • The designer has to deal with many unnecessary details • Drawing many wires and placing many components are some of the unnecessary details • CS2204 uses schematic design since the term project is not very complex CS 2204 Spring 2014

  8. Digital Design • Hardware Description Language (HDL)-based design (now) • The designer writes a program in an HDL to design a digital circuit • CAD software converts text to components and wires • The HDL program has “modules” to allow block-based, team-based and core-based design • Today’s digital circuits require HDL-based design • Software languages, including graphical languages (C, C++, MATLAB, LabVIEW,…) will be used to design hardware (in thefuture) • C, C++, MATLAB and LabVIEW are increasingly used to design hardware today CS 2204 Spring 2014

  9. Popular HDL Languages • VHDL : VHSIC HDL • VHSIC≡ Very High Speed Integrated Circuit • A project of DARPA (Defense Advanced Projects Agency) • Developed in the 1980s • Looks like the ADA language (of the 1980s) • Taught at Poly • Verilog HDL • Equally used with VHDL • Developed earlier than VHDL • Looks like the C language CS 2204 Spring 2014

  13. VHDL at Poly • CS2204 covers VHDL during the last lecture of the semester • EE4313 (Computer Engineering Design Project I) is on VHDL • A number of EL (EE graduate) courses also cover VHDL CS 2204 Spring 2014

  14. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) • FPGAs are used for prototyping of chips to test the design physically • They are used to develop a new chip • The newchip is tested on FPGAs • Complex circuits require more than one FPGA chip • Designers have a better understanding of their new chip • Design problems not discovered while simulating the circuit on computers are discovered ► Additional logic errors ► Speed, cost, power, size, etc. issues • FPGAs are now finding use in commercial products • Xilinx, Altera, Lattice Semiconductor, Microsemi, are some of the largest FPGA companies CS 2204 Spring 2014

  15. FPGAs to Test the design physically • Why not fabricate the prototype chip after extensive simulations on computers ? • Not all logic errors and issues can be discovered via simulations • FPGAs at Poly • Some upper level EE and EL (graduate EE) courses require FPGAs • EL6493 Advances in Reconfigurable Systems CS 2204 Spring 2014

  16.

CS2204 Xilinx FPGA • Spartan-3E : XC3S500E-5FG320 • 4Digital clock manager (DCM) blocks • Distributing and generatingclock signals on the chip • Clock-skew Elimination: Clock skew within a system occurs due to the different arrival times of a clock signal at different points on the chip, typically caused by the clock signal distribution network • Clock skew is undesirable in high frequency applications • The DCM eliminates clock skew by phase-aligning the output clock signal that it generates with the incoming clock signal • This mechanism effectively cancels out the clock distribution delays • Frequency Synthesis: The DCM can generate a wide range of different output clock frequencies derived from the incoming clock signal • This is accomplished by either multiplying and/or dividing the frequency of the input clock signal by any of several different factors • Phase Shifting: The DCM provides the ability to shift the phase of all its output clock signals with respect to the input clock signal • There are global clock lines to distribute clock signals with little delay CS 2204 Spring 2014
