Where we are

Last Time
Design for Test, Built-in Self Test
Today
System Design Datapath/Controller Design
Aside Datapath/Controller Example in VHDL
Comparators
A/D Conversion
Discuss Project

4
The Datapath-Controller Abstraction

A higher-level description of chip organization
Key idea break up design into two parts
Datapath- components that manipulate data
Controller - FSM that controls datapath modules

5
Steps in Architecture Design

Propose data unit components
functions performed
data inputs / outputs
control inputs - perform operation when asserted
status outputs - condition info for control unit
Design control-unit FSM
Respond to ext. inputs, status values from data
unit
Generate control signals to drive data unit,
external outputs
Control-Unit Representations
Traditional "bubble and arrow" state diagram
Direct coding in HDL

Example Digital Lock

Accept 4-bit BCD digits from keypad
KRDY - true while button is pressed
KIN - 4-bit input
Compare digits with four successive "thumbwheel
switches" for combination setting
open lock if all four digits are right
otherwise, go back and start over

VHDL Construct

signals of type STD_LOGIC
signals of type STD_LOGIC_VECTOR

VHDL Example Digital Lock

Entity lock_dp Lock datapath
Entity lock_fsm Lock controller FSM
Entity lock structural assembly of datapath, FSM

13
Lock Datapath - Entity

library IEEE
use IEEE.std_logic_1164.all
use IEEE.std_logic_arith.all
entity lock_dp is
port( kin, d0, d1, d2, d3 in
std_logic_vector(3 downto 0)
sel in std_logic_vector(1 downto 0)
eql out std_logic
)
end lock_dp

14
Lock Datatpath - Architecture

architecture behavior of lock_dp is
begin
process (kin, d0, d1, d2, d3, sel)
begin
case (sel) is
when "00" gt
if (d0 kin) then eql lt '1'
else eql lt '0'
end if
when "01" gt
if (d1 kin) then eql lt '1'
else eql lt '0'
end if
when "10" gt
if (d2 kin) then eql lt '1'
else eql lt '0'
end if
when "11" gt
if (d3 kin) then eql lt '1'

15
Lock FSM Entity

library IEEE
use IEEE.std_logic_1164.all
use IEEE.std_logic_arith.all
entity lock_fsm is
port( clk, krdy, eql in std_logic
sel out std_logic_vector(1 downto 0)
openlock, start out std_logic
)
end lock_fsm

16
Lock FSM Architecture - Part 1

architecture behavior of lock_fsm is
type state_type is (wait10, wait01, tst0,
wt10a, wt01a, tst1, wt10b,
wt01b, tst2, wt10c,
wt01c, tst3 )
signal cs, ns state_type wait01
begin
comb process(cs, krdy, eql)
begin
sel lt "--" -- default
values
openlock lt '0' start lt '0' -- default
values
case (cs) is
when wait01 gt
start lt '1'
if (krdy '1') then ns lt tst0
else ns lt wait01
end if
when tst0 gt
sel lt "00"
if (eql '1') then ns lt wt10a

17
Lock FSM Architecture - Part 2

when wt01a gt
if (krdy '1') then ns lt tst1
else ns lt wt01a
end if
when tst1 gt
sel lt "01"
if (eql lt '1') then ns lt wt10b
else ns lt wait10
end if
when wt10b gt
if (krdy '0') then ns lt wt01b
else ns lt wt10b
end if
when wt01b gt
if (krdy '1') then ns lt tst2
else ns lt wt01b
end if
when tst2 gt

18
Lock FSM Architecture - Part 3

when wt10c gt
if (krdy '0') then ns lt wt01c
else ns lt wt10c
end if
when wt01c gt
if (krdy '1') then ns lt tst3
else ns lt wt01c
end if
when tst3 gt
sel lt "11"
if (eql '1') then openlock lt '1'
end if
ns lt wait10
when wait10 gt
if (krdy '0') then ns lt wait01
else ns lt wait10
end if
end case
end process comb

Lock Structure - Part 1

for all lock_dp use entity work.lock_dp
(behavior)
for all lock_fsm use entity work.lock_fsm
(behavior)
signal s_eql std_logic
signal s_sel std_logic_vector(1 downto 0)
begin
DP lock_dp port map(kingtkin, d0gtd0, d1gtd1,
d2gtd2, d3gtd3,
selgts_sel, eqlgts_eql)
FSM lock_fsm port map(clkgtclk, krdygtkrdy,
selgts_sel, eqlgts_eql)

20
Lock Structure - Part 2

entity lock is
port( clk, krdy in std_logic
kin, d0, d1, d2, d3 in
std_logic_vector(3 downto 0)
openlock, start out std_logic
)
end lock
architecture structure of lock is
component lock_dp is
port( kin, d0, d1, d2, d3 in
std_logic_vector(3 downto 0)
sel in std_logic_vector(1 downto 0)
eql out std_logic
)
end component
component lock_fsm is
port( clk, krdy, eql in std_logic

How do we make a Comparator?

One way use a high-gain differential amplifier
