Title: Top-Down Design of VLSI Circuits using Schematic Entry and Electronic Design Automation

Part IIALUs.

Abstract:
This experiment continues the hierarchical design process of VLSI Circuits utilizing Electronic Design
Automation (EDA) tools such as DSCH and MICROWIND. The students will get to design larger designs,
such as a 4-bit, 4-operation ALU, as compared to previous experiments. The concept of design re-use
will be emphasized with DSCH symbols.

Introduction:
Full adders are one of the most widely used design blocks in digital circuits. They are used as basic
building blocks for large adders as well as multipliers. This experiment shows students how they can be
used as a building block of Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) as well.

Apparatus:
1. A Windows-based (XP or 7) PC with standard word processors (i.e. Microsoft Office) and PDF readers
(i.e. Adobe Acrobat Reader/Writer, Foxit Reader/Phantom) installed.
2. A PSPICE simulator, preferably ORCAD PSpice Student 9.1 Student from Cadence.

Discussion And Conclusion:

We have done whole experiment by using DSCH 3.5. While we were doing this experiment some
problems were occurred i.e. connecting the wire, saving the file and to open after saving it.
