Lecture Objectives • Learn what a datapath is, and how does it provide the required functions. • Appreciate why different implementation strategies affects the clock rate and CPI of a machine. • Understand how the ISA determines many aspects of the hardware implementation.

Quiz • Draw your design of a register file: • Three registers, each is 2-bits wide • Two source buses, one destination bus • How many & what size: • Muxes did you use? • Demuxes did you use? • Total number of control lines?

A simple device Build a custom controller for a vending machine. We could use a general purpose processor, but we might save money with a custom controller. Take coins, give drinks
coin trigger refund button 10 drink selectors 10 drink release latches Coin refund latch Input and Output Inputs: 10 pressure sensors Outputs:
Operation of Machine Accepts quarters only All drinks are $0.75 Once we get the money, they can select a drink. If they want a refund, release any coins inserted No free drinks! No stealing money!
Building the controller • Finite State • Remember how many coins have been put in the machine and what inputs are acceptable • Read-Only Memory (ROM) • Define the outputs and state transitions • Custom combinational circuits • Reduce the size (and therefore cost) of the controller
Finite State Machines • A Finite State Machine (FSM) consists of: K states: S = {s1, s2, … ,sk}, s1 is initial state N inputs: I = {i1, i2, … ,in} M outputs: O = {o1, o2, … ,om} Transition function T(S,I) mapping each current state and input to next state Output Function P(S) [or P(S,I)] specifies output
Two common state machines • Moore machine output function based on current state only • Mealy machine output function based on current state and current input see P&H page B-35
Ran out of specific drink selection Coin trigger Refund button Drink Select FSM for vending machine 0 coins 1 coin 3 coins 2 coins
Q Q D D Implementing FSM Outputs Implement transition functions (using a ROM and combinational circuits) Inputs Current state Next state 2-bit state
ROMs and PROMs • Read Only Memory • Array of memory values that are constant • Non-volatile • Programmable Read Only Memory • Array of memory values that can be written exactly once (destructive writes) • You can use ROMs to implement FSM transition functions • ROM inputs: ROM address ; current state + primary inputs • ROM outputs: ROM data ; next state + primary outputs
