  1. Unit 4 Design and Synthesis of Datapath Controllers Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU

  2. Digital systems • Control-dominated systems :being reactive systems responding to external events, such as traffic controllers, elevator controllers, etc • Data-dominated systems :requiring high throughput data computation and transport such as telecommunications and signal processing • Sequential machines are commonly partitioned into data path units and control units Datapath Logic Control inputs FSM Control signals Clock DatapathRegisters Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU

  3. Datapath units consist of: • Arithmetic units : • Arithmetic and logic units (ALU) • Storage registers • Logic for moving data : • through the system • between the computation units and internal registers • to and from the external environments • Control units are commonly modeled by • State transition graphs (STGs) • Algorithm state machine (ASM) charts for FSM • A combined control-dataflow sequential machine is modeled by ASM and datapath (ASMD) charts Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU

  4. Algorithm State Machine (ASM) Charts • State transition graphs only indicate the transitions that result from inputs • Not only does ASM display the state transitions, it also models the evolution of states under the application of input datas • An ASM chart is formed with three fundamental elements Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU

  5. Start En C <= C+1 • Both Mealy and Moore machines can be represented by ASM • The outputs of a Moore machine are listed inside a state box • Conditional outputs (Mealy outputs) are placed in conditional output boxes Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU

  6. A sequential machine is partitioned into a controller and a datapath, and the controller is described by an ASM • The ASM chart can be modified to link to the datapath that is under control of the ASM • The modified ASM is referred to as the algorithm state machine and datapath (ASMD) chart • ASMD is different from ASM in that :each of the transition path of an ASM is annotated with the associated concurrent register operations of datapath Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU

  7. An ASMD chart for a up-down counter Up-down counter with asynchronous reset Up-down counter with synchronous reset Count <= 0 Count <= 0 Reset Count <= Count - 1 Count <= Count + 1 Start Start Clr Count <= Count - 1 Up Up Count <= Count + 1 Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU

  9. Unit 4-1 UART Design Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU

  10. Most computers and microcontrollers have one or more serial data ports used to communicate with serial input/output devices • The serial communication interface, which receive serial data, is often called a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter) • One application of a UART is the modem (modulator-demodulator) that communicates via telephone lines Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU

  11. Features of UARTs • There is no clock for UARTs • Data (D) is transmitted one bit at a time • When no data is being transmitted, D remains high • To mark the transmission, D goes low for one bit time, which is referred to as the start bit • When text is being transmitted, ASCII code is usually used • ASCII is 7-bit in length the 8th bit is used for parity check Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU

  12. After 8 bits are transmitted, D must go high for at least one bit time • When receiving, the UART detects the start bit, receives the 8 data bits, and converts the data to parallel form when it detects the stop bit • The UART must synchronize the incoming bit stream with the local clock • The number of bits transmitted per second is often referred to the BAUD rate Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU

  13. Design of a simplified UART • TDR : transmit data register, TSR : transmit shift register • RDR : receive data register, RSR : receive shift register • SCCR : serial communication control register • SCSR : serial communications status register Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU

  14. Procedure for the data transmission of the UART :(TDRE is set when TDR is empty) • A microcontroller waits TDRE=1  load TDR  TDRE=0 • The UART moves data from TDR to TSR and TDRE=1 • Output a start bit (0)  shift right TSR  stop bit (1) Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU

  15. ASM for TX Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU

  16. The operation of the UART receiver : • When detecting a start bit, the UART starts reading the remaining bits serially and shifts them into the RSR • When the stop bit is received, load RSR to RDR and RDRF=1 • If RDRF=1, the microcontroller read RDR and RDRF = 0 Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU

  17. Key points for designing a UART receiver • The bit stream is not synchronized with the local Bclk • The bit rate of the incoming RxD differs from Bclk by a small amount  could end up reading some bits at the wrong time • To avoid this problem, sample RxD eight times each bit time • When RxD first goes to 0, check for four consecutive 0’s. If this is true  waits for 8 more BclkX8  star reading the 1st bit  waits for 8 more BclkX8  read 2nd bit and so on Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU

  19. BAUD generator • Suppose the system clock 8 MHz and we want BAUD rates 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 and 38400 • Selection for BAUD rates (Notice!! set default rate at 38462) Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU

  20. Input/Output (I/O) interface • TIE and RIE are set by the microcontroller (uC) • SCI_IRQ is generated for uC when RDRF or OE =1 • When TIE =1, SCI_IRQ is generated when TDRE =1 • Data BUS  RDR, SCSR and hi-Z • Data BUS  TDR and SCCR Department of Communication Engineering, NCTU
