A 4-bit Adder Circuit Use a hierarchical design approach. Design a logic circuit (i.e. module) to add two 1-bit numbers and a carry-in. 3 inputs (A, B, Cin) 2 outputs (S, Cout) Connect 4 modules to form a 4-bit adder. This design approach can easily be extended to n bits. Spring 2011 ECE Digital System Design

Ripple Carry Adder An n-bit RCA consists of n Full Adders. The carry-out from bit i is connected to the carry-in of bit (i+1). Simple design Relatively slow Each sum bit can be calculated only after the previous carry-out bit has been calculated. Delay ~ (n) * (delay of FA) Spring 2011 ECE Digital System Design

Multiple-bit Adder Circuits
The Ripple Carry Adder (RCA) may become prohibitively slow as the number of bits to add becomes large. The Carry Lookahead Adder (CLA) provides a significant increase in speed at the cost of additional hardware (i.e. logic gates). Spring 2011 ECE Digital System Design

ECE 331 - Digital System Design
Carry Lookahead Adder A CLA uses the carry generate and carry propagate concepts to produce the carry bits. A carry is generated iff both A and B are 1. Generate: G(A,B) = A.B A carry is propagated if either A or B is 1. If Cin = 1 and (A or B) = 1 then Cout = 1 Propagate: P(A,B) = A + B Alternate Propagate: P*(A,B) = A xor B Spring 2011 ECE Digital System Design

Carry Lookahead Adder For each bit (or stage) of the multiple-bit adder, the carry-out can be defined in terms of the generate and propagate functions, and the carry-in: Ci+1 = Gi + (Pi . Ci) Ai+Bi Ai.Bi carry-in carry-out Pi* can also be used. Spring 2011 ECE Digital System Design

Carry Lookahead Adder For bit i: Ci+1 = F(G0..Gi, P0..Pi, C0) For i > 4, the silicon area required for the carry circuits becomes prohibitively large. Tradeoff: speed vs. area. How, then, do you build a bigger adder? Spring 2011 ECE Digital System Design

Detecting Overflow for Addition
Overflow occurs if the result is out of range. Overflow cannot occur when adding a positive number and a negative number. Overflow occurs when adding two numbers with the same sign. Two positive numbers → negative number Two negative numbers → positive number Can you write a Boolean expression to detect overflow? Spring 2011 ECE Digital System Design

Detecting Overflow for Subtraction
Overflow occurs if the result is out of range. Overflow cannot occur when subtracting two numbers with the same sign. Overflow occurs when subtracting a positive number from a negative number or a negative number from a positive number. positive # - negative # → negative # negative # - positive # → positive # Can you write a Boolean expression to detect overflow?

The For-Generate Statement
The for-generate statement uses a for loop to instantiate multiple copies of the same component. The loop variable is used as the index in the port and signal names in the component instantiation. The ports and signals must be defined using composite types (i.e. vectors) Format for the for-generate statement generate_label: for <loop_index> in 0 to n-1 generate <instance_name>: <component_name> port map ( signal mapping ); end generate <generate_label>; Spring 2011 ECE Digital System Design
