How to use the VHDL and schematic design entry tools.
ABSTRACT Demonstrates how to create a top-level schematic that contains instantiations of the modules, and describe how to wire together the modules, and determine the circuit behavior by computer simulation.
Starting the Xilinx’s Software For PC users, start Xilinx program from the Start menu by selecting the following path: Start Programs Xilinx Foundation Series 2.1i Project Manager
Creating New Project Select OK New Project dialog box comes out Give “ Name ”— Lab5; create the directory path — a:\lab5; Select OK
Creating a New Schematic Click on the third item named Schematic Editor in the first flow chart box. Schematic Editor
Schematic Editor Window Symbol Toolbox
Libraries Click on the Symbols Toolbox icon Click on Select Libraries
Instantiating VHDL Modules Select FJKSRE from the SC Symbols Window. Place four FJKSREs in the schematic editor window by simply dragging from the SC Symbols Window.
Instantiating VHDL Modules Similarly select AND2. Place three AND2’s in the Schematic Editor Window.
Instantiating VHDL Modules Place one inverter in the Schematic Editor Window. Select VCC and GND and place it on the Schematic Editor Window.
Adding Hierarchy Connectors Click on the Hierarchy Connector Symbol.
Wiring the Components Go to the left toolbar and click on Draw wires Symbol. To make a connection: 1. Click once at the vertex of a pin; 2. Extend the wire to the desired length; 3. Click on the location you want the wire to terminate. Draw Wires
