Designing circuits using plan A and plan B

Problems

D1.3

D1.5


1. Specifications

Design the combinational Circuit_VT shown in Fig. 1.

1. Plan A structural approach as represented in Fig. 2 based on logic gates. Lecture L1.5 explains how to transform circuits using only-NAND or only NOR.

Symbol
truth table

Fig. 1. Symbol and truth table of the circuit to be designed. Be aware that in this symbol, inputs S(1..0) are represented in multi-wire vector form.

planning

Fig. 2. Plan A for inventing and testing circuits from the same initial truth table. (Visio).

Test the circuit using one of these opcions:

- analysis method I on Proteus. The laboratory prototype will contain only 74LS00 and 74LS02 chips.

- analysis method IV  on VHDL.

- analysis method II on WolframAlpha.


2. Plan B behavoural approach writting the truth table in VHDL. To verify that your RTL works correctly, use ModelSim functional simulation.
