10. 00001100 Entering of car Clk 123456789101112 8bit Counter: The layout is a little different from 11 bit counter. But the result is correct.

11. Shift Register Clk One of inputs SEL: Choose arm0 or arm1 Falling Edge Rising Edge

12. 2:1 MUX x 110 Enable : Choose arm0 or arm1 some of outputs 10 bus (11bits) inputs from arm0 assumes it all equal to 0 10 bus (11bits) inputs from arm1 assumes it all equal to 1 When Enable signal oscillates, the outputs will oscillates with enable also.

17. Control as trigger for Register INPUTS from ALUOther Outputs Targeted Register Output If SEL0~SEL3 = [0010], we expect the OUT will be HIGH and the second register will store all values from ALU. 1001010010010010100100 1001010010010010100100 0000000000000000000000

18. Light Control FSM  After running electrical simulations with extracted RC, a few glitches are found on waveforms.  Spent lot of on fixing it. Still can’t eliminate all of them but reduce them somewhat.

19. Light Control FSM Some glitches appear on these waveforms. Must fix the waveform for COMPLETE since it’s quite important for Tom’s FSM.

20. Light Control FSM Modified schematics. A bunch of buffers are used for fixing glitches.

21. Light Control FSM Modified layout. Quite similar to previous version since I allocated these buffers in the space within this FSM. Buffers for outputs Buffers for fixing glitches

22. Light Control FSM The glitches on COMPLETE signal are fixed. Others are improved. If the clock cycle is 1 second, these glitches are only about 0.004 second in width.

23. Issue  Is that required to use more area and buffers to eliminate these glitches?  Basically people’s eyes wouldn’t be capable of noticing these.

24. Tom’s FSM  Much cleaner layout  Strict wire directionality  Better organization  More modular  Can’t get simulations to work  The new layout will make any changes easy to make (if the simulations don’t pass)  Simulating by tonight
