VLSI circuit design

integrated ciruit : fabrication and manufacturing in industry

imulate/ code in verilog:

Develop an electronic key system using the FSM (moore) methology. Use from student ID and use the last 4 digits:(0864)

if the number is <5 then = 1

if the number is >=5 then = 0

example: 8012345. Take last 4 digits (2345) which makes it 0001.

In my case, the last 4 digits are 0864, which makes it 0110

features of FSM (moore FSM):

input 4 bits serially,

if the sequence is correct, then you proceed to next state. Otherwise, go to error state, then go to rest state

Assignment Instructions:

1) The Factorial

The factorial of a non-negative integer ??, denoted by ??!, is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to ??. The textbook has an example of a recursive MIPS implementation of factorial. Additionally, a simplified version of the MIPS assembly language recursive implementation of the factorial function is attached. Trace the factorial example carefully using QTSPIM

2) Recursive definition of multiplication

The function ??????????(??, ??) for two positive integers 1 ? ??, and 1 ? ??, is defined as the following:

??????????(??, 1) = ??; ??????????(??, ??) = ?? + ??????????(??, ?? ? 1)

Write a recursive version of ??????????() in C or C++ and a pseudo C program (based on chapter 2 in the book) then use these programs to develop a MIPS program that gets as input two integers 0 < ?? ? 255, and 0 < ?? ? 255, and returns the result of ??????????(??, ??) in $v1.

Your deliverable should be the pseudo C and the assembly level function

thanks alot! Scenario: You are a development engineer at a toy company that manufactures remote control cars using microcontrollers. Your R&D team is currently working on designing a new line of remote control cars, which requires your knowledge to make certain design decisions. The new design has the following requirements:

- Driving a motor for the wheels

- Buttons on the remote control to accelerate, brake and reverse

- LEDs to indicate forward and reverse

You are required to determine the appropriate microcontroller for this project

(Task 1) For this task, you are required to perform the following: Compare one member of each of the PIC12, PIC16, PIC18, PIC24 and dsPIC families (datasheets are available at http://www.microchip.com/doclisting/TechDoc.aspx?type=datasheet) and determine which is the most economical option to meet the project requirements. You must give an indication of the following metrics: clock speed, internal architecture, on-board memory, IO ports, instruction size, interrupt capabilities, additional features, cost and physical size.

(D1) Provide proper engineering justification. You must develop proper system requirements and show how your microcontroller and external hardware selection would meet the design requirements. Select the microcontroller which would be ideal for this project, show how you developed the system requirements and what they are, and justify your microcontroller selection.

A supermarket you work part-time at has one express lane open from 5 to 6 PM on weekdays (Monday through Friday). This time of the day is usually the busiest since people tend to stop on their way home from work to buy groceries. The number of items allowed in the express lane is limited to 10 so that the average time to process an order is fairly constant at about 1 minute. The manager of the supermarket notices that there is frequently a long line of people waiting and hears customers grumbling about the wait. To improve the situation he decides to open additional express lanes during this time period. If he does, however, he will have to "pull" workers from other jobs around the store to serve as cashiers. Hence, he is reluctant to open more lanes than necessary.
Knowing that you are a college student studying probability, your manager asks you to help him decide how many express lanes to open. His requirement is that there should be no more than one person waiting in line 95% of the time.
With the task at hand, you set out to study the problem first. You start by counting the number of customer arrival in the express lane on a Monday from 5 to 6pm. There are a total of 81 arrivals. You repeat the experiment on the following four days (Tuesday through Friday) and note the total arrivals of 68, 72, 61 and 66 customers, respectively.

1) What is the average number of customer arrivals at the express lane from 5 to 6pm on weekdays?

2) Assume the customer arrivals at the express lane from 5 to 6pm on weekdays can be modeled by a Poisson random variable, what is the PMF for the number of customers arrived during a one-minute interval in this period?

3) What is the probability of two or fewer customers arriving at the one express lane during a oneminute interval in this period? Does it satisfy the manager’s requirement of no more than one person waiting in line 95% of the time?

4) If your answer to the previous question is no, how many express lanes should the manager open in order to satisfy his requirement? You can assume that the arriving customer is equally likely to join any of the express lane if there are more than one express lanes. Also you can assume the lanes are independent, but all lanes must satisfy the manager’s requirement.
