  1. Experiment 6 Labs 9 - 13 Outline • Presentation • Design of Block 6 of the Ppm Digital System (using Term Project pages 38 – 48 and Digital System Design Example) • Individual work • Developing PpmBlock 6 CS 2204 Spring 2014

  2. Analysis of the Term Project • Polytechnic Playing Machine, Ppm • The term project is human vs. machine • The black-box view From page 2 of the Term Project Handout CS 2204 Spring 2014

  3. LD0-LD2 on the FPGA board show the current state Ppm Input/output relationship From page 8 of the Term Project Handout Ppm operation diagram CS 2204 Spring 2014

  4. The Ppm Digital SystemPartitioning From page 9 of the Term Project Handout CS 2204 Spring 2014

  5. Digital Systems • A digital systemperformsmicrooperations • A digital systemconsists of digital circuits • A digital system consists of • A data unit (datapath) • It performs microoperations • A control unit • It controls the datapath CS 2204 Spring 2014

  6. Digital Systems • This first partitioning of a digital system is universal • A microprocessor is a digital system • An iPhone is a digital system • A computer is a collection of digital systems CS 2204 Spring 2014

  7. Digital Systems • The Data Unit has registers, ALUs and buses to perform microoperations • Registers keep (store) data (operands and results) • Arithmetic Logic Units (ALUs) perform additions, subtractions, multiplications, ANDS, ORs, etc. • Buses interconnect registers and ALUs CS 2204 Spring 2014

  8. Digital Systems • The Control Unit (Sequencer) • The control unit determines the sequence of microoperations based on the current state and status signals • In each state, it enables the microoperations of that state to happen in the data unit based on the status signals • Microoperations must start at the right time with correct inputs and end at the right time with correct outputs  We should notlose data and we should not use old data • Glitches, gate delays must be accounted for  When we design it, we account for every possible gate delay • The control unit also determines which state is next : Next State CS 2204 Spring 2014

  9. Digital Systems • The Control Unit (Sequencer) • The state register indicates the current state • Logic to generate the control signals and the next state more irregular than the Data Unit From page 11 of the Term Project Handout CS 2204 Spring 2014

  10. Digital Systems • The Control Unit (Sequencer) design • Hardwiring vs microprogramming • Since our Ppm system is simple, we use hardwiring and so we will concentrate on hardwiring from this point on Gate/FF networks = random logic = irregular Memory bits generate control signals and NS Highly regular but slower Not as regular as the datapath CS 2204 Spring 2014

  11. Often a decoder is used to generate the control and next state signals Often a counter is used instead of a register since we frequently trace the states sequentially • Digital Systems • The Control Unit (Sequencer) design • Hardwired Control Unit design • First partitioning on the Control Unit • Control Signal generationSubblock • Next State GenerationSubblock CS 2204 Spring 2014

  12. Digital Systems • The Control Unit (Sequencer) design • Hardwired Control Unit design • Often a counter+decoder combination is used in the sequencer If it is state 0,S0is1 Status signals Current state Next state S0 n D0 Control signals Control Signals & Next State Circuits S1 D1 Data n ..... n-to-2n Decoder n-bit up counter Next State Load S2(n-1) D3 clock CS 2204 Spring 2014

  14. The Ppm Control Unit • Block 1, the Control Unit (the sequencer) • The control unit determines the sequence of microoperations based on the status signals • Implemented by using the finite-state machine (FSM) technique • Uses hardwiring • Gate and flip-flip networks generate control signals • Partitioned into • Control Signal generationSubblock • Next State GenerationSubblock CS 2204 Spring 2014

The Ppm Control Unit • Block 1, the Control Unit (the sequencer) Hardwired Control Unit Gate and flip-flop networks generate control and next state signals Control Signal Generation Subblock Control signals Next State Generation Subblock Counter- Decoder combination to keep track of the current state CS 2204 Spring 2014

  16. Digital Systems • How can we design a digital system ? • If the digital system is complex • It is the case with real chips, such as microprocessors • Write an HDL program ►VHDL program ►Verilog HDL program CS 2204 Spring 2014

  17. Digital Systems • How can we design a digital system ? • If the digital system is simple • It is the case with our term project • Use the finite state machine (FSM) technique ► We draw a finite-state diagram • One obtains the operation diagram then converts it to a FSM state diagram with same number of states ►Get a finite-state diagram directly from the operation diagram CS 2204 Spring 2014

  18. Register← Source Wire/bus= Source • Digital Systems • How can we design a digital system ? • If the digital system is simple • It is the case with our term project • Use the finite state machine (FSM) technique ► Obtain a high-level state diagram directly from the operation diagram  Use the Register-Transfer Level (RTL) notation ► Obtain the datapath from the high-level state diagram ► Obtain the low-level state diagram from the datapath andhigh-level state diagram ► Obtain the Control Unit CS 2204 Spring 2014

  19. Digital System Design Using FSM • The Data Unit (Datapath) • The data unit performs microoperations based on the control signals • The data unit goes through states • The high-level state diagram indicates the microoperations ► Each state indicates the microoperations to perform in that clock period The Data Unit generates status signals as it performs microoperations ► In each state, the controlsignals indicate which microoperations should happen The low-level state diagram indicates which control signals should be active CS 2204 Spring 2014

  20. Digital System Design Using FSM • The Control Unit (Sequencer) • The control unit determines the sequence of microoperations based on the status signals • The control unit goes through states • Each state has a unique number to identify ► The state register value is the current state number • In each state, it enables the microoperations of that state to happen in the data unit based on the status signals • It generates the control signals and next state signals timely CS 2204 Spring 2014

  21. Digital System Design Using FSM • The Control Unit (Sequencer) • The sequencer is treated as a state machine • A low-level state diagram (with finite number of states) shows which microoperation happens when in terms of control signals • Each state shows ► Which control signal is active ► Which state to go to next based on status signals CS 2204 Spring 2014

  22. Digital System Design Using FSM • On paper • Start with the black box view and the textual input/outputrelationship of the digital system • Convert the textual input/output relationship to an operation diagram • Convert the operation diagram to a high-level state diagram with microoperations with the same number of states • A diagram with finite number of states • From the high-level state diagram, obtain the datapath • From the high-level state diagram and the datapath, obtain the low-level state diagram • Decide about how to implement the control unit (sequencer) • Hardwiring or microprogramming • Hardwiring is acceptable if it is not a complex digital system • It is the case with the Ppm term project CS 2204 Spring 2014

  23. Digital System Design Using FSM • On paper • Implement the sequencer which is treated as a state machine • The low-level state diagram (a state diagram with finite number of states) shows which microoperation happens when • Each state shows ►Which control signal is active ►Which state to go to next based on status signals • Each state has a unique number to identify ►The state register value is the current state • Convert control signal and next state information of the low-level state diagram to sequencer hardware • Place the counter (state register) + decoder combination if hardwiring is used • Obtain Expressions ►Obtain gate networks of the sequencer • Start implementing the circuits on computer • Start drawing the schematics by using the design on paper CS 2204 Spring 2014

  32. Machine Play Block, Block 6 • The implementation at the course web site • How can we implement the machine player ? • We have to convert the playing strategy and game rules to major operations • We partition Block 6 into subblocks • An intelligent machine player has to gather substantial amount of information about the game and then decide how to play • It must have an informationgathering subblock and a decision making subblock CS 2204 Spring 2014
