Projects:
8-bit Microprocessor Design
Design an 8-bit Microprocessor’s schematic andlayout inCadence Virtuoso. This 8-bit Microprocessor has a Controller, an8-bit
ALU, an 8-bit Register, a program counter and anInstructionRegister. In thisproject, the Controller is self-designedbasedon
VHDL and generated its layout andschematic byusing the Cadence SOEncounter. Then, puttingallthe parts’ schematics and
layouts together inCadence Virtuoso. The layouts passedDRCandLVS check.
BIST Project
Completed a built-in self-test circuit modelinVerilog. This BISTcircuit includeda LFSR to generate test vectors, a CUT, anMISR
to generate signature anda controller. This self-testing modelpassedsimulationin Synopsys VCS. Testbench includedtest cases
for both normaloperationmode andtestingmode.
TestingMOSIS-fabricated chips
Completed a testingfor an8-bit Microprocessor chip onAltera DE-2 board. Inthisproject, Quartus software is usedto compile
a self-designTestModule which is based onVHDL. An Altera DE-2 board (FPGA)andan8-bit Microprocessor chipis connected
to the breadboard. Then, the outputs of the chipis connected to a Logic Analyzer, HP1662E, that canshow the output
waveform from the chip.
