  1. The SRC Arithmetic and Logic Unit Marcos Mejías Del Valle Carlos Mateo Rojas Daniel Castro Gambedotti The Unbelievables Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Wednesday, December 15, 2004

  2. Outline • Brief Description • Discussion of each Component • Discussion of Integration Process • Conclusions

  3. What is an ALU? • The component of the CPU that performs all arithmetic computations and all comparison and logic operations. • It has direct input and output access to the main memory, the processor controller, and I/O devices in order to operate on data obtained from them.

  4. Shift Unit • In essence, a Universal Parallel-load Shift Register. • It is in charge of all shifting operations within the ALU (SHL, SHR, SHRA and SHC).

  5. Shift Unit (Cont.) • Originally implemented separately by their behavior. • All shift operations were put together into a single unit, controlled by signals from the controller.

  6. Shift Unit (SHC Waveform)

  7. Logic Unit • It carries out all logical functions in the instruction set (AND, OR, NOT) • Implemented as a single unit controlled by operation signals from the controller.

  8. Logic Unit (AND Waveform)

  9. Arithmetic Unit • Component that carries out all general arithmetic calculations (ADD, ADDI, SUB, NEG, ADC) as well as location calculations (INC_3, branches, load and store). • Composed of three main blocks: Adder/Subtractor, PC Incrementation Block and Negation Block.

  10. Arithmetic Unit (Adder Subtractor)

  11. Arithmetic Unit (Adder/Subtractor) • Implemented using the Block Diagram Editor tool in Active HDL. • Carries out ADD, ADDI, ADC and SUB operations from the instruction set.

  12. Arithmetic Unit (INC-3) • Exclusively designed for incrementing the Program Counter. • Implemented in software in terms of its behavior.

  13. Arithmetic Unit (Negation) • Created exclusively for the NEG function; negates the value placed in “A”. • Implemented in software in terms of its behavior.

  14. Arithmetic Unit (SUB Waveform)

  15. Integration • All of the separate units were connected and integrated to form the completed system: the ALU. • The Block Diagram Editor tool was used because it was easier and faster for this stage of the project. • Separate Register and Buffer banks were also created and integrated into the design.

  16. Integration (cont.)

  17. Conclusion • The SRC ALU was successfully implemented using VHDL, using a variety of methods. • The ALU is capable of carrying out all logical, comparison and arithmetic operations from the Instruction set, as well as calculating directions for branches, load and store functions. • The ADC function was not implemented internally in the ALU due to unknown problems and inconsistencies in Active HDL.
