Computer Logic Design: ALU & Multipliers

Three systems perform the same process and their outputs are sent to a majority gate to produce a single output. If two or more systems produce the same output, that output is chosen; otherwise an error is flagged. An arithmetic-logic unit performs both logic and arithmetic operations on 8-bit inputs a and b based on a 4-bit selection value. A 4-bit multiplier circuit multiplies positive numbers by implementing an array multiplier with partial product generation and addition.

Notes - Chapter 4
TRIPLE MODULE REDUNDANCY: MAJORITY GATE
 Three systems perform the same
identical process (the input data is also N System N
identical for the three systems). The replica 1
three outputs go into a majority-voting
system (called ‘majority gate’) to produce N N N
a single output. System Majority
 If at least two systems produce identical replica 2 gate
outputs, then the majority gate will pick
y_error
that output. If the three system produce
N System N
different results, the majority gate will
assert an error flag (y_error = ‘1’). replica 3

ARITHMETIC-LOGIC UNIT (ALU) a 8

 This circuit carries out two types of 8 UNIT
operations: logic (or bit-wise) and b
arithmetic. 0

 In this example, the inputs a[7..0] and
b[7..0] are 8-bits wide. The numbers'
representation is 2's complement. LOGIC UNIT

 The output is selected via the input sel[3..0] in the following manner:

sel Operation Function Unit


0000 y <= a Transfer ‘a’
0001 y <= a + 1 Increment ‘a’
0010 y <= a - 1 Decrement ‘a’
0011 y <= b Transfer ‘b’
0100 y <= b + 1 Increment ‘b’ Arithmetic
0101 y <= b – 1 Decrement ‘b’
0110 y <= a + b Add ‘a’ and ‘b’
0111 y <= a – b Subtract ‘b’ from 'a'
1000 y <= not a Complement ‘a’
1001 y <= not b Complement ‘b’
