  4. Clock divider Kazi Fall 2006 EEGN 494

  5. Assignment: Clock divider • Design a clock divider that can divides the original clock by 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 • Run the simulations to ensure that all the divided frequencies are working properly. • Write the report that includes the code and how did you verify that the appropriate frequencies were generated properly • Due Date November 2 Kazi Fall 2006 EEGN 494

  6. Basic FIFO (First In First Out) • FIFO used for • rate adaptation • Buffering temporarily • Normally has two different clocks • FIFO full • FIFO empty • FIFO almost full • FIFO almost empty • Can be RAM based or Flip flop based Kazi Fall 2006 EEGN 494

  7. Basic FIFO Data in Data out Write pointer Read pointer Kazi Fall 2006 EEGN 494

  8. Inputs and Outputs of the FIFO • Inputs • reset, clk, datain (7:0), wr_rd (when ‘1’, write otherwise read) • Outputs • dataout (7:0) • (FIFO status signals) • FIFO Empty (fifo_empty) • FIFO Full (fifo_full) • FIFO almost Empty (fifo_almost_full) • FIFO almost Full (fifo_almost_empty) Kazi Fall 2006 EEGN 494

  9. Building Blocks of the FIFO • Write Pointer -- Counter • Read Pointer -- Counter • Data Storage element -- Memory or Flipflops • Status --Combinatorial logic Kazi Fall 2006 EEGN 494

  10. Definitions of FIFO Status signals • Status • FIFO Empty (condition when all the data within the FIFO has been read and no new data is stored in the FIFO) • FIFO Full (all the memory locations in the FIFO have been written to) • FIFO almost full (certain threshold of memory locations of the FIFO have been written to) • FIFO almost empty (Only certain memory locations of the FIFO can be read from as there is no more new data written into the FIFO) Kazi Fall 2006 EEGN 494

  11. Assignment: FIFO design • Design a 256 byte wide FIFO • Develop the testbench that writes data to the FIFO, reads data from the FIFO, generates FIFO almost full, FIFO full, FIFO almost empty, FIFO empty conditions • Write a report that includes, the description of how the FIFO works, vhdl code, critical simulation waveform results • Due Date November 9. • Note of caution: if you have not designed the FIFO by November 2, most likely you will not be able to finish the assignment since the verification will take much longer.
