Project 3 Phase Solution

    • Phase 1: In-lab Exercises

1.1    Instructions

    1. You are expected to work in groups of 4 at each table. All brainstorming discussions must be done as a team to promote collaborative thinking.

        (a) If you happen to be at a table with fewer than 4 people, you can choose to work with fewer people or let your TA’s know to assist you in nding extra partner(s).

    2. Download the collateral from Slack and use the skeletal les provided. Do not change the name of the les nor the names of the pins.

    3. Add your full name and UIN to the introductory comment present in each .hdl  le.

    4. Complete the problem set provided in this document on your own sheet of paper. Make sure your drawings are clear and handwriting is legible. Show your work.

    5. Implement the .hdl le for each chip. Keep these handy because you will use some of them and turn them in for Project 3 Phase 2.

    6. The .tst and .cmp les are optional for today’s assignment, but we recommend verifying the behavior of your chip as it will be graded based on correctness.

1.2    Submission

    1. Submissions must be done individually. Even though you are nding the solutions as a team, each of you is supposed to do the implementation individually, so we know you got the concepts.

    2. Including your name and UIN, turn in your sheet of paper with the solutions to the problem set by the end of the lab session.

    3. In a zipped folder named LastName FirstName UIN Lab3.zip turn in the .hdl les before midnight tonight on eCampus.
