Collaboration Policy:
Unless otherwise noted, you may collaborate with other CSE370 students on the homework assignments. Do not look at homework or exam solutions from previous years. You must spend at least 15 minutes working on a problem before seeking assistance. Collaboration means that you may discuss the problems and make notes during the discussion, but you may not look at other student’s work when writing up your homework. Your homework represents your own work—the homework must show that you understand the material and have worked as an individual on every problem. You may not divide up the task of doing the problem sets in the interpretation of collaboration. You may discuss lecture material with anyone.
Late Homework Policy:
The weekly assignments are due at the beginning of class. Assignments handed in during or immediately after class will incur a 10% penalty. We will penalize your assignment 10% per day for each additional day late.
Please show all of your work. Your solutions must be legible…we
will not spend time trying to decipher poorly written assignments.
For problems 1 and 2, you may print the ROM, PLA and PAL worksheets or the worksheet which has all three on one page or use the ones handed out in class.
1. (25 points) Use the accompanying worksheets to implement the following
set of functions using a ROM, a PLA and a PAL. That is, use a ROM to
implement all three functions, then a PLA to implement all three, and finally a
PAL. For the PLA, try to reduce the number of AND gates you use.
Make sure you identify your solutions.
f1(a,b,c,d) = a’d + bd + a’bc
f2(a,b,c,d) = ad + b’d + a’bcd’
f3(a,b,c,d) = ac’ + a’c + bcd
2. (25 points) Use the ROM, PLA and PAL worksheets to implement the following set of functions, represented using the SOP shorthand. Again for the PLA, try to reduce the number of AND gates you use.
f1(a,b,c,d) = ∑ m(8, 4, 12, 14, 13) + d(10, 6)
f2(a,b,c,d) = ∑ m(10, 12, 14) + d(6)
f3(a,b,c,d) = ∑ m(10, 4, 11, 13, 15) + d(9, 7)
3. (25 points) Using Active-HDL, implement a 4-16 decoder using five 2-4 decoders. You will find a test fixture in the class hw4 directory. Hand in the schematic for your circuit plus the test results of the simulation.
4. (25 points) Using Active-HDL, implement a 16-1
multiplexor using five 4-1 multiplexors.
You will find a test fixture in the class hw4 directory. Hand in the
schematic for your circuit plus the test results of the simulation.
4. (25 points) Using Active-HDL, design and test an 8-bit
shifter circuit that implements the C/Java >> (arithmetic shift right)
operation. The circuit has two inputs: an 8-bit data input and a 3-bit
shift amount input. The 8-bit output value is the input, shifted right by
the shift amount. (This implements divide by a power of 2.) Make sure
your circuit works for both positive and negative numbers (2's complement
representation). Here are some example inputs and outputs:

shift[2:0] |

your circuit plus the test results of the simulation.
