Embedded System and FPGA Projects

Arithmetic Logic Unit

Designed individual components comrpising an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), including a half-adder, OR gate, 16-bit full-adder, 16-bit multiplier, 16-bit multiplexer, and the ALU itself.


Built-In Self Test (BIST) Controller

Designed a Built-In Seft Test Controller for a computer processor.


Hexadecimal to Seven Segment Display Decoder

Designed a hexadecimal to seven segment display decoder implemented with a phase locked loop via Quartus and Aldec environments. Also incorporated this design in a 27-bit counter with clocck multiplexing.


Simple Digital Calculator

Created a simple digital calculatorthat takes as input two 8-bit signed two's complement operands and outputs a 16-bit signed two'scomplement result for addition, subtraction, and multiplication. For division, the calculator outputs an8-bit quotient and 8-bit remainder, both signed two's complement numbers. The calculator also operates using a 50MHz clock which is used to store values in registers for calculationand also for the result


MIPS Processor

Implemented a simple processor that supported 7 different instructions, two instruction formats, supported 256 half words of RAM (256 addresses by 16 bits), with 8 registers. The basic design was a single cycle processor which implemented the Instruction Decode/Execute, ALU, Register File and Data Memory sections. Each instruction was 16 bits wide, with two formats, R-Type (register) and I-Type (immediate).
