8-bit ALU

(AND, OR,ADD, SUB)

 Basic Building Blocks
• To initiate the project, we needed to create
the basic building blocks: AND, NAND, OR, and
NORgates.
• Since a NORgate and NAND gate input with
Anot and Bnot are a AND gate and a ORgate,
respectively, we need only design a NORand
NAND.

 Data Holding and Selection
• To store data, we used D flip-flops at data
input and data output.
– Usage of the D flip-flops also gave our team
access to the Anot and Bnot needed for the AND
and ORgates.
• For data selection at the output,we used 4-1
MUX’s for each bit.

 Conclusion
• This project was successful due to teamwork
and dedication.
• My team and I were able to design, test, and
build an 8-bit ALU with emphasis onminimum
chip size and maximum speed.
