Lab 4

Abstract: The Purpose of this lab was to use a multiplexor to combine several functions into one circuit, use a register to store our result value, and use a decoder to display the result in hexidecimal on the hex LEDs.

 

Procedure: First, we tried to use tri-state buffers and they worked fine in the simulator but we could not get the design to compile so... we deleted all of the tri-state buffers and built a multiplexor.

 

Hierarchy: Here are our levels of hierarchy. The top level is the top. Level One is all of the pieces of the Lab and Level Two has the two pieces of hierarchy from Lab 3.

Top Level (0)

Level 1

Level 2

 
 

Simulation: I have included a simulation of each hierarchical block from above as well as two full simulations of the full LAB 4.

Conclusion: We learned a DAMN LOT from this lab! The lab itself was too big in my opinion. We learned how to use buses, lots of hierarchy, not to name our hierarchy the same as hierarchy in other libraries we're using (hehe), how to decode for the digital LED display, how to use the multimeter to trace pins to what they're locked to.
