L20 – Register Set
2
The 430 Register Set Not exactly a dual ported register set, but a dual drive register set. Ref: text Unit 10, 17, 20 9/2/2012 – ECE 3561 Lect 9 Copyright 2012 - Joanne DeGroat, ECE, OSU2
3
The MSP 430 datapath There are two busses driving data to the ALU There is also a MDB There is also a MAB Registers are 16 bit R0,R1,R2 and R3 are special purpose register The PC, the SP, SR, and constant Any can be used as arguments in instructions and all are connected to the internal busses 9/2/2012 – ECE 3561 Lect 9 Copyright 2012 - Joanne DeGroat, ECE, OSU3

Register line structure – dual ported Diagram 9/2/2012 – ECE 3561 Lect 9 Copyright 2012 - Joanne DeGroat, ECE, OSU4
5
The register design 430 DP The register cell structure is somewhat less complicated as there is only one source for a new value. 9/2/2012 – ECE 3561 Lect 9 Copyright 2012 - Joanne DeGroat, ECE, OSU5
6
Still need the bus driver The bus driver is still needed to drive the bus. They are the same as before, but they are now 16 bits each. 9/2/2012 – ECE 3561 Lect 9 Copyright 2012 - Joanne DeGroat, ECE, OSU6
7
The bus drivers The code LIBRARY IEEE; USE IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.all; ENTITY busdr8 IS PORT (drive : IN std_logic; data : IN std_logic_vector(7 downto 0); intbus : OUT std_logic_vector(7 downto 0)); END busdr8; ARCHITECTURE one OF busdr8 IS BEGIN PROCESS (drive,data) BEGIN IF (drive='1') THEN intbus <= data; ELSE intbus <= "ZZZZZZZZ"; END IF; END PROCESS; END one; 9/2/2012 – ECE 3561 Lect 9 Copyright 2012 - Joanne DeGroat, ECE, OSU7
8
Quartis result The synthesis result Resources – tri-state pins 9/2/2012 – ECE 3561 Lect 9 Copyright 2012 - Joanne DeGroat, ECE, OSU8
9
Next assignment The next assignment is to create a bus driver, a 4-to-16 demultiplexer, and a 16-bit register cell. Write the VHDL code for it. You can write a simple test bench to test it logically it you want, but most likely will wait until the register set is done to do the logic simulation. 9/2/2012 – ECE 3561 Lect 9 Copyright 2012 - Joanne DeGroat, ECE, OSU9

Have a bus driver that works!! LIBRARY IEEE; USE IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.all; ENTITY busdr8 IS PORT (drive : IN std_logic; data : IN std_logic_vector(7 downto 0); intbus : OUT std_logic_vector(7 downto 0)); END busdr8; ARCHITECTURE one OF busdr8 IS BEGIN PROCESS (drive,data) BEGIN IF (drive='1') THEN intbus <= data; ELSE intbus <= "ZZZZZZZZ"; END IF; END PROCESS; END one; The new approach 9/2/2012 – ECE 3561 Lect 9 Copyright 2012 - Joanne DeGroat, ECE, OSU10
11
Put together for four of them LIBRARY IEEE; USE IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.all; ENTITY m4drv IS PORT (intbus : INOUT std_logic_vector(7 downto 0); data1,data2,data3,data4 : IN std_logic_vector(7 downto 0); dr1,dr2,dr3,dr4 : IN std_logic); END m4drv; ARCHITECTURE one OF m4drv IS COMPONENT busdr8 IS PORT (drive : IN std_logic; data : IN std_logic_vector(7 downto 0); intbus : OUT std_logic_vector(7 downto 0)); END COMPONENT; FOR all : busdr8 USE ENTITY work.busdr8(one); --internal signals BEGIN u1 : busdr8 PORT MAP (dr1,data1,intbus); u2 : busdr8 PORT MAP (dr2,data2,intbus); u3 : busdr8 PORT MAP (dr3,data3,intbus); u4 : busdr8 PORT MAP (dr4,data4,intbus); END one; 9/2/2012 – ECE 3561 Lect 9 Copyright 2012 - Joanne DeGroat, ECE, OSU11

Prior results The prior results, although they looked like they worked, didn’t. ARCHITECTURE one OF mdrv IS COMPONENT busdr IS PORT (drive : IN std_logic; data : IN std_logic; intbus : OUT std_logic); END COMPONENT; FOR all : busdr USE ENTITY work.busdr(one); --internal signals SIGNAL dr1,dr2,dr3 : std_logic; SIGNAL data1,data2,data3 : std_logic; BEGIN u1 : busdr PORT MAP (dr1,data1,intbus); u2 : busdr PORT MAP (dr2,data2,intbus); u3 : busdr PORT MAP (dr3,data3,intbus); END one; 9/2/2012 – ECE 3561 Lect 9 Copyright 2012 - Joanne DeGroat, ECE, OSU13
14
The 4-to-16 multiplexer Specification Input – 4 bit binary number Output – 16 lines numbered o0 to o15 operation is such that only 1 of the outputs is active, indicating the value of the 4-bit binary input. Input and output type – can be std_logic or std_logic_vector. Recommend using direct output generation by writing the logic equation for each output line directly from the 4-bit input. 9/2/2012 – ECE 3561 Lect 9 Copyright 2012 - Joanne DeGroat, ECE, OSU14
15
The 16-bit register cell Write a VHDL ENTITY and ARCHITECTURE for a 16-bit register unit. Inputs – latch – std_logic din – std_logic_vector Output dout – std_logic-vector 9/2/2012 – ECE 3561 Lect 9 Copyright 2012 - Joanne DeGroat, ECE, OSU15

Another use of the register cell The register cell will also be used for the input latching for the inputs to the ALU. The bus driver will also be used for the output driver of the ALU result onto its bus. 9/2/2012 – ECE 3561 Lect 9 Copyright 2012 - Joanne DeGroat, ECE, OSU17

The objective Dual ported register set 2 data busses Can load or drive either bus No timing – only control To insure this unit will synthesize need to do it subcomponent by subcomponent and structurally. 9/2/2012 – ECE 3561 Lect 9 Copyright 2012 - Joanne DeGroat, ECE, OSU26

Why dual ported? Traditional processor architecture Accumulator based operation RISC Reduced Instruction Set Computer Basis – all operations take 1 cycle Can’t achieve with an accumulator architecture Have to fetch 2 nd argument 9/2/2012 – ECE 3561 Lect 9 Copyright 2012 - Joanne DeGroat, ECE, OSU27

The last step Adding a decoder to generate the selects This time a 1-to-2 decoder Then a bunch of errors popped up so back up. Do the implementation one step at a time Add the regno signal to the ENTITY WORKED FINE Add the decoder COMPONENT – re-synthesize WORKED FINE Add and instantiation for the decoder WORKED FINE Finally link the decoder output to the select lines with concurrent signal assignment statements. It then started generating errors so starting a new approach. 9/2/2012 – ECE 3561 Lect 9 Copyright 2012 - Joanne DeGroat, ECE, OSU45

Note that the system can drive just register. It is capable of two operations each cycle. Glue logic – generated the load and drive signals. 9/2/2012 – ECE 3561 Lect 9 Copyright 2012 - Joanne DeGroat, ECE, OSU47
