  1. inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61cUC BerkeleyCS61C : Machine StructuresLecture 26 – Combinational Logic Blocks Senior Lecturer SOE Dan Garcia www.cs.berkeley.edu/~ddgarcia MineCraft Logic Gates Using redstone circuits, which are “structures that can be built to active or control mechamisms”, you can create all the logic gates using MineCraft. minecraft.gamepedia.com/Tutorials/Basic_Logic_Gates

  2. Review • Use this table and techniques we learned to transform from 1 to another

  3. Today • Data Multiplexors • Arithmetic and Logic Unit • Adder/Subtractor

  4. Data Multiplexor (here 2-to-1, n-bit-wide) “mux”

  5. N instances of 1-bit-wide mux How many rows in TT?

  6. How do we build a 1-bit-wide mux?

  7. 4-to-1 Multiplexor? How many rows in TT?

  8. Is there any other way to do it? Hint: NCAA tourney! Ans: Hierarchically!

  9. Arithmetic and Logic Unit • Most processors contain a special logic block called “Arithmetic and Logic Unit” (ALU) • We’ll show you an easy one that does ADD, SUB, bitwise AND, bitwise OR

  10. Our simple ALU

  11. Administrivia • How did you find project 2? • Hated it • Disliked it • Neutral • Liked it • Loved it

  12. Truth-table, then determine canonical form, then minimize and implement as we’ve seen before Look at breaking the problem down into smaller pieces that we can cascade or hierarchically layer Adder/Subtracter Design -- how?

  13. Adder/Subtracter – One-bit adder LSB…

  14. Adder/Subtracter – One-bit adder (1/2)…

  15. Adder/Subtracter – One-bit adder (2/2)…

  16. + + + N 1-bit adders  1 N-bit adder b0 What about overflow? Overflow = cn?

  17. # ± Whatop? What about overflow? • Consider a 2-bit signed # & overflow: • 10 = -2 + -2 or -1 • 11 = -1 + -2 only • 00 = 0 NOTHING! • 01 = 1 + 1 only • Highest adder • C1 = Carry-in = Cin, C2 = Carry-out = Cout • No Cout or Cin NO overflow! • Cin, and Cout NO overflow! • Cin, but no Cout A,B both > 0, overflow! • Cout, but no Cin A,B both < 0, overflow!

  18. # ± What about overflow? • Consider a 2-bit signed # & overflow: 10 = -2 + -2 or -111 = -1 + -2 only00 = 0 NOTHING!01 = 1 + 1 only • Overflows when… • Cin, but no Cout A,B both > 0, overflow! • Cout, but no Cin A,B both < 0, overflow!

  19. + + + Extremely Clever Subtractor XOR serves asconditional inverter!

  20. Peer Instruction • Truth table for mux with 4-bits of signals has 24 rows • We could cascade N 1-bit shifters to make 1 N-bit shifter for sll, srl 12 a) FF b) FT c) TF d) TT

  21. Peer Instruction Answer Truth table for mux with 4-bits of signals controls 16 inputs, for a total of 20 inputs, so truth table is 220 rows…FALSE We could cascade N 1-bit shifters to make 1 N-bit shifter for sll, srl … TRUE • Truth table for mux with 4-bits of signals is 24 rows long • We could cascade N 1-bit shifters to make 1 N-bit shifter for sll, srl 12 a) FF b) FT c) TF d) TT

  22. “And In conclusion…” • Use muxes to select among input • S input bits selects 2S inputs • Each input can be n-bits wide, indep of S • Can implement muxes hierarchically • ALU can be implemented using a mux • Coupled with basic block elements • N-bit adder-subtractor done using N 1-bit adders with XOR gates on input • XOR serves as conditional inverter
