DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF 8 BIT ALU USING VHDL TOOL

AIM:
The aim of the project is to design an 8 Bit ALU using VHDL software tools and
implement it in programmable IC PAL/FPGA.

THEORY:
The ALU is a device that can be used to perform Arithmetic and Logical operations on
the binary data. The proposed device can accept two numbers of 8 bit binary data and can
perform logical/arithmetic operation depending on the control signal. It is proposed to give 4-bit
binary controlled signal and so eight different operations are performed.

HARDWARE:
The Hardware of 8 bit ALU consists of PAL C22V10/FPGA as 8 bit ALU, buffer,
SPDT Switch and LEDs.

SOFTWARE:
Using VHDL software tool, a digital system can be designed and simulated. Also the
Timings of various signals can be verified. Then the system can be implemented in PAL
C22V10 using WARP-R4 or can implemented in ALTERA/ATMEL FPGA using MAX plus
II/IDS 6.0.

APPLICATIONS:
The ALU can be mainly used in
 Microprocessor
 Microcontroller
