This document describes the design and implementation of an 8-bit ALU. It discusses creating basic logic gates like NOR and NAND gates. It also describes using D flip-flops for data storage and selection and multiplexers for output selection. Circuit schematics, layouts, and transients are shown for components like XOR gates, full adders, subtractors, and the final 8-bit ALU. The project concluded with an 8-bit ALU designed for minimum chip size and maximum speed through teamwork.

Basic Building Blocks • To initiate the project, we needed to create the basic building blocks: AND, NAND, OR, and NORgates. • Since a NORgate and NAND gate input with Anot and Bnot are a AND gate and a ORgate, respectively, we need only design a NORand NAND. NORLayout NORTransient NAND Layout NAND Transient Data Holding and Selection • To store data, we used D flip-flops at data input and data output. – Usage of the D flip-flops also gave our team access to the Anot and Bnot needed for the AND and ORgates. • For data selection at the output,we used 4-1 MUX’s for each bit.
