Experiment # 7: Simulation and Development of a Full Adder using the MAX PLUS software and ALTERA FPGA kit

 

 

 

Lab Report Format:

 

1. Introduction

( 0.25 points)

State the objective(s) of the experiments briefly in few sentences.

2. Background 

(2.5point)

State the entry IDs of two student. Design the Full Adder Circuit using the Karnough map. Implement the design using the various gates in your copy and then simulate it on the MAX PLUS II. Under suitable subheadings present the write-ups on 

(a) Brief background of the FPGAs based on your understanding from the tutorial presentation given in the lab.

(b) Your understanding of the MAXPLUS II software GUI and various features that you have used in this experiment.

Above write-ups (a and b) should not exceed 1.5 pages. 

3. Equipment List

( 0.25 points)

For clarity give the GUI functions that you have used in the implementation.

4. Experimental Procedure

(0.5  points)

In this part you should state the various steps in the GUI based implementation of the Full Adder.

5. Analysis

( 0.75 point)

Discuss the outcome of your implementation for the Full Adder and if your circuit worked in first attempt. List the debugging procedure that you followed to detect and correct the problem in the implementation of Full Adder. Also attach the printouts of timing diagrams that you obtain for the circuit during simulation. Analyze the timing diagrams to understand how the software simulates the time delays.

6. Conclusions

( 0.5 points)

Discuss your experience on implementing Full Adder. State the results of your implementation and whether the objective was met.   

7. Difficulties faced

(0.25  points)

In this part you can give important feedback regarding your experience in the lab. Also you can come up with constructive inputs for the improvement of experiment # 7 for easy and better learning.
