Minimal Implementation of a Full Adder • Gate library: inverters, 2-input nands, or-and-inverters architecture concurrent_behavior of full_adder is signal t1, t2, t3, t4, t5: std_logic; begin t1 <=not A after 1 ns; t2 <=not cin after 1 ns; t4 <=not((A or cin) and B) after 2 ns; t3 <=not((t1 or t2) and (A or cin)) after 2 ns; t5 <= t3 nand B after 2 ns; S <=not((B or t3) and t5) after 2 ns; cout <=not(t1 or t2) and t4) after 2 ns; end concurrent_behavior; • Can you create the equivalent schematic? Can you determine worst case delay (the worst case timing path through the circuit)?
Logic Operations • Logic operations operate on individual bits of the operand. $t2 = 0…0 0000 1101 0000 $t1 = 0…0 0011 1100 0000 and $t0, $t1, $t2 $t0 = or $t0, $t1 $t2 $t0 = xor $t0, $t1, $t2 $t0 = nor $t0, $t1, $t2 $t0 = • How do we expand our FA design to handle the logic operations - and, or, xor, nor ?

An Alternative ALU Cell s2 s1 s0 carry_in 1-bit FA A result B carry_out
Tailoring the ALU to the MIPS ISA • Need to support the set-on-less-than instruction (slt) • remember: slt is an arithmetic instruction • produces a 1 if rs < rt and 0 otherwise • use subtraction: (a - b) < 0 implies a < b • Need to support test for equality (beq) • use subtraction: (a - b) = 0 implies a = b • Need to add the overflow detection hardware

Example: When do the result outputs settle at their final values for the inputs: add/subt = 0 op = 000 A = 1111 B = 0001
Example: cont’d When do the result outputs settle at their final values for the inputs: add/subt = 0 op = 100 A = 1111 B = 0001
Example: cont’d When do the result outputs settle at their final values for the inputs: add/subt = 1 op = 101 A = 1111 B = 0001 What is the zero output of these inputs?
Example: cont’d With the ALU design described in class, we assumed that a subtraction operation had to be performed as part of the beq instruction. When do the outputs settle? Is there a faster alternative?
But What about Performance? • Critical path of n-bit ripple-carry adder is n*CP • Design trick – throw hardware at it (Carry Lookahead) CarryIn0 A0 1-bit ALU Result0 B0 CarryOut0 CarryIn1 A1 1-bit ALU Result1 B1 CarryOut1 CarryIn2 A2 1-bit ALU Result2 B2 CarryOut2 CarryIn3 A3 1-bit ALU Result3 B3 CarryOut3

000000 00000 10000 01010 01000 000011 Shift Operations, con’t • An arithmetic shift (sra) maintain the arithmetic correctness of the shifted value (i.e., a number shifted right one bit should be ½ of its original value; a number shifted left should be 2 times its original value) • so sra uses the most significant bit (sign bit) as the bit shifted in • note that there is no need for a sla when using two’s complement number representation sra $t2, $s0, 8 #$t2 = $s0 >> 8 bits • The shift operation is implemented by hardware (usually a barrel shifter) outside the ALU
