Iterative System • A system implemented with multiple copies of a smaller circuit • Consider 4-bit adder as an example
Delay in Combinational Logic Circuits • When the input to a gate changes, the output of that gate will not change instantaneously • Instead, there is a small delay ∆ • If the output of one gate is used as the input to another gate, the delays will add • The output is stable after the longest delay path
Delay in Combinational Logic Circuits Hazard (or glitch)
Cascading 4-bit Adders • Can cascade multiple 4-bit adders if larger adders are needed
Binary Decoder • A binary decoder is a device that, when activated, selects one of several output lines, based on a coded input signal • The input is an n-bit binary number, and there are 2n output lines • Some decoders also have one or more enable inputs • Decoders are often used to select one of many devices
Use 4 3-to-8 Decoders to Select from 32 Devices
Multiplexers • A multiplexer is a switch that passes one of its data inputs through to the output, as a function of a set of select inputs • Sets of multiplexers are often used to choose among several multibit input numbers
Two-way Multiplexer out = w if S = 0; out = x if S = 1
Gate Arrays • Also known as programmable logic device (PLD) or field programmable gate array (FPGA) • An efficient way of implementing complicated systems • Can implement SOP expressions which are sums of some common product terms
An Example of Gate Array f = a’b’ + abc g = a’b’c’ + ab + bc h = a’b’ + c
Three Types of Combinational Logic Arrays • Programmable Logic Array (PLA) • User specifies all of the connections in both the AND array and the OR array • Read-Only Memory (ROM) • The AND array is fixed – like a decoder consisting of 2n AND gates for n inputs • User specifies the connections in the OR array • Programmable Array Logic (PAL) • The connections to the OR gates are specified; user determines the AND gate inputs
Design with Read-Only Memories Only need a list of minterms for each function. For example, W(A, B, C, D) = ∑m(3, 7, 8, 9, 11, 15) X(A, B, C, D) = ∑m(3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 15) Y(A, B, C, D) = ∑m(1, 5, 7, 11, 15)
