Lab 4: Arithmetic computation & register operations

We are going to build and analyze the following circuits using the Circuit Maker:

1. Adders:

Using primitive logic gates to build up

1a. A Half-Adder 

1b. A Full Adder

2. Ripple Carry Adders: 

Take advantage of the developed FA in Q1, we are going to build the following circuits 

2a. A 8- bit Ripple Carry Adder  

2b. A 8- bit 2's Complement Adder/Subtractor

3. Memory and its operations:

3.a. Build a D-latch flip-flop using primitive logic gates, then verify this circuit through simulation. 

3.b. Build a Edge-Triggered D Flip-Flop using primitive logic gates, then verify this circuit through simulation. 

4. 3. Operations of memory

4.a. Build 8-bit register using D-Latch flip-flops, then a control circuit to store data in serial way (serial loading).

4.b. Build 8 bit-register using D-Latch flip-flops, then a control circuit to store data in parallel way (parallel loading).

5. Shifters:

5a. Using D-latch and primitive components to build up a 8-bit shifter that is capable of shifting data over the LEFT or RIGHT. Use 7-segment LED to display the value and verify the circuit through simulation. 

5b. Extend the control circuit of the above 4-bit shifter so it can shift the data over both LEFT and RIGHT.  Use 7-segment LED to display the value and verify the circuit through simulation.
