A 4-bit serial adder circuit consists of two 4-bit shift registers with parallel load, a full adder, and a D-type flip-flop for storing carry-out. A simplified schematics of the circuit is shown below:
In order to load registers A_REG and B_REG with numbers, shift capability of the registers should be disabled and loading mode should be enabled. Loading of numbers from inputs A, B to registers A_REG, B_REG occurs in one clock cycle. After loading registers with numbers, shifting mode should be enabled to perform the arithmetic operation. The addition of numbers stored in A_REG and B_REG requires 4 cycles. Starting with the least significant bit, at each cycle one bit of number A and one bit of number B are being added. The sum is stored at the most significant bit of register A_REG. Carry-out output produced after each cycle is fed back to the full adder as a carry-in of the next significant bit. For this purpose one D-type flip-flop is used as a temporary storage element. The least significant bit of B_REG is fed to the input of the most significant bit of B_REG. Hence the circuit performs rotation operation for register B_REG.
4 Bit Serial Adder Verilog Code For Full
In order to overcome this, you should create a symbol for the full adder module by going to "Sources" -> "Implementation" and choosing the "FA - FullAdder" line under "FourBitSerialAdderSubtractor" top design. After selecting it, expand "Design Utilities" section and press on "Create Schematic Symbol". The procedure is shown below:
"Sum" and "CarryOut" are part of the full adder circuit. Number "B" is rotated in register B_Reg. Simulation using "FourBitSerialAdderSubtractorSimulation.vhw" file shows the same behavior as with the schematics version of the project:
Consider the above 4-bit ripple carry adder. The sum is produced by the corresponding full adder as soon as the input signals are applied to it. But the carry input is not available on its final steady-state value until carry is available at its steady-state value. Similarly depends on and on . Therefore, though the carry must propagate to all the stages in order that output and carry settle their final steady-state value.
The propagation time is equal to the propagation delay of each adder block, multiplied by the number of adder blocks in the circuit. For example, if each full adder stage has a propagation delay of 20 nanoseconds, then will reach its final correct value after 60 (20 3) nanoseconds. The situation gets worse, if we extend the number of stages for adding more number of bits.
The circuit consists of 4 full adders since we are performing operations on 4-bit numbers. There is a control line K that holds a binary value of either 0 or 1 which determines that the operation is carried out is addition or subtraction.
As shown in the figure, the first full adder has a control line directly as its input(input carry Cin), The input A0 (The least significant bit of A) is directly input in the full adder. The third input is the exor of B0 and K. The two outputs produced are Sum/Difference (S0) and Carry (C0).
In this project, we are going to design a serial adder. A serial adderis a circuit that performs binary addition bit by bit (i.e., insteadof presenting both operands at the inputs of an adder at the sametime, the operands are fed into the serial adder bit by bit andit generates the answer on the fly). To design such a circuit, we aregoing to use the state diagram as the mode of describing thebehavior of the circuit, and then translate the state diagram into Verilogcode.
Design is a serial adder. It takes 8-bit inputs A and B and adds them in a serial fashion when the goinput is set to 1. The result of the operation is stored in a 9-bit sum register, The block diagram is attached. I am using Quartus II 13.0sp1 (64-bit) Web Edition.
The first uses 16 bit adders to compute the convolution quickly.The second computes the same result but computes the convolution using 4 bit serial adders.This only has a quarter of the throughput but also a quarter of the area in adders.
I'm trying to implement a serial adder/subtractor in VHDL, I've done it the ripple carry way before but now I'm supposed to implement the same functionality by just using one full adder cell instead of N-amount of cells so I have to shift the bits from the vectors in to the full adder/subtractor and store the result in another vector which I just shift the index for as well... The logic behind it is very easily understood, you just have a counter for the index and so on. But I obviously encounter problems since I'm probably still thinking a bit too much software programming I guess...
The default settings generate a fully parallel architecture. There is a dedicated multiplier for each filter tap in direct form FIR filter structure and one for every two symmetric taps in symmetric FIR structure. This results in a lot of chip area (78 multipliers, in this example). You can implement the filter in a variety of serial architectures to obtain the desired speed/area trade-off. These architecture options are shown in further sections of this example.
In fully serial architecture, instead of having a dedicated multiplier for each tap, the input sample for each tap is selected serially and is multiplied with the corresponding coefficient. For symmetric (and antisymmetrical) structures the input samples corresponding to each set of symmetric taps are preadded (for symmetric) or pre-subtracted (for anti-symmetric) before multiplication with the corresponding coefficients. The product is accumulated sequentially using a register and the final result is stored in a register before the next set of input samples arrive. This implementation needs a clock rate that is as many times faster than input sample rate as the number of products to be computed. This results in reducing the required chip area as the implementation involves just one multiplier with a few additional logic elements like multiplexers and registers. The clock rate will be 78 times the input sample rate (foldingfactor of 78) equal to 3.4398 MHz for this example.
To implement fully serial architecture, use the hdlfilterserialinfo function and set the 'Multipliers' property to 1. You can also set the 'SerialPartition' property equal to the effective filter length, which in this case is 78. The function also returns the folding factor and number of multipliers used for that serial partition setting.
Fully parallel and fully serial represent two extremes of implementations. While Fully serial is very low area, it inherently needs a faster clock rate to operate. Fully parallel takes a lot of chip area but has very good performance. Partly serial architecture covers all the cases that lie between these two extremes.
The input taps are divided into sets. Each set is processed in parallel by a serial partition consisting of multiply accumulate and a multiplexer. Here, a set of serial partitions process a given set of taps. These serial partitions operate in parallel with respect to each other but process each tap sequentially to accumulate the result corresponding to the taps served. Finally, the result of each serial partition is added together using adders.
The accumulators in serial partitions can be re-used to add the result of the next serial partition. This is possible if the number of taps being processed by one serial partition must be more than that by serial partition next to it by at least 1. The advantage of this technique is that the set of adders required to add the result of all serial partitions are removed. However, this increases the clock rate by 1, as an additional clock cycle is required to complete the additional accumulation step.
You designed a lowpass direct form symmetric FIR filter to meet the given specification. You then quantized and checked your design. You generated VHDL code for fully parallel, fully serial, partly serial and cascade-serial architectures. You generated a VHDL test bench using a DTMF tone for one of the architectures.
You can use an HDL simulator to verify the generated HDL code for different serial architectures. You can use a synthesis tool to compare the area and speed of these architectures. You can also experiment with and generating Verilog code and test benches.
When you specify this option, HDL Coder chooses between the CSD or FCSD optimizations. The coder chooses the optimization that yields the most area-efficient implementation, based on the number of adders required. When you specify 'auto', the coder does not use multipliers, unless conditions are such that CSD or FCSD optimizations are not possible (for example, if the design uses floating-point arithmetic).
Reset is not applied to generated registers. Therefore, mismatches between Simulink and the generated code occur for some number of samples during the initial phase, when registers are not fully loaded.
Number of parallel data paths, or vectors, to transform into serial, scalar data paths by time-multiplexing serial data paths and sharing hardware resources. The default is 0, which implements fully parallel data paths. See also Streaming.
The block provides three filter structures. The direct form systolic architecture provides a fully parallel implementation that makes efficient use of Intel and Xilinx DSP blocks. The direct form transposed architecture is a fully parallel implementation and is suitable for FPGA and ASIC applications. The partly serial systolic architecture provides a configurable serial implementation that makes efficient use of FPGA DSP blocks. For a filter implementation that matches multipliers, pipeline registers, and pre-adders to the DSP configuration of your FPGA vendor, specify your target device when you generate HDL code.
Serialization requirement for input timing, specified as a positive integer. This parameter represents N, the minimum number of cycles between valid input samples. In this case, the block calculates M = L/N. To implement a fully-serial architecture, set Number of cycles greater than the filter length, L, or to Inf. 2ff7e9595c
