A. Background of the Study Sub-header: Left-justified, bold, one font size larger than
CPU designing involves the first task of knowing its usage. An ideal CPU for a particular task should be powerful enough to handle a job. For example a simple 4-bit processor is sufficient enough to control room-air-conditioning unit and on and on a different side, a complicated quad-core microprocessor is ideal for a personal computer. The interchange of their usage has significant disadvantages for both applications. And according to Carpinelli The key is to match the capabilities of the CPU to the tasks it will perform. According to Malvino, the CPU or central processing unit are circuits which are designed to act as the brain of a computer. The CPU could perform basic arithmetic operations such as addition and subtraction, logic operations such as AND and OR and control operations. Thus, it could process data. By definition, a microprocessor is a CPU which is constructed on a single silicon chip. A CPU is an electronic circuit which can interpret and execute instructions and control input and output. According to Carpinelli, to design a CPU, we first develop its instruction set architecture, including its instruction set and its internal registers. We then create a finite state machine model of the micro-operations needed to fetch, decode and execute every instruction in its instruction set. Then we develop an RTL specification for this state machine. This paper aims to present a CPU design in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the course COMP421.

B. Design Overview
The SAP143 microprocessor is an 8-bit microprocessor. It makes use of a 16-bit word bus which serves as a 16-bit address bus and 8-bit data bus. It also has an addressable memory of 64KB and 82 instructions. The architecture of the SAP143 microprocessor is based on a combined SAP 2 / Carpinelli design. It is composed of two I/O ports, memory address register, memory data register, a program counter, a stack pointer, status register, an arithmetic and logic unit, its accumulator, index register, two general purpose registers( B and C), HL register, instruction register and a control unit. The ALU is capable of performing arithmetic and logic operations. It can perform the following arithmetic operations, ., and the following logic operations OR, AND, XOR and NOT.

C. Scope and Delimitation

SAP143 is an 8-bit microprocessor which uses a 16-bit word bus, 16-bit address bus and 8-bit data bus. It has two bidirectional input/ output ports and it has dual data format which can perform arithmetic and logic operations for both BCD and signed integers. The Arithmetic Logic Unit can perform . as arithmetic operations and logical operations such as AND, OR, XOR and NOT. The register set consists of the accumulator, status/ flag register (sign, zero, carry and overflow flags. The control unit design consists of the . Low-endian scheme is used in this microprocessor. This design uses only TTL logic family. No RAM block is designed for this microprocessor. In addition, no power supply, clock and clear circuit designs are presented here.

ARCHITECTURE

A. Block Diagram
A generalized block diagram of KISAP microprocessor is shown in Figure 1.

B. Bus Unit
SAP143 has a 16-bit address bus and an 8-bit data bus. Access to the bus is controlled via three-state buffers; those not connected to the bus are two-state. Additional bus is included whose function is to

C. I/O Unit Ports 1 and 3 are implemented using 8-bit controlled buffer registers. Ports 2 and 4 use controlled shift-right registers. A control logic controls loading/sending data through ports 2 and 4 via a high ACK signal.

D. Program Counter
The program counter is a 16-bit controlled ripple counter. At the start of a program run, a CLR signal resets the count value to 0000h. A high CP signal increments the counter up to FFFFh.

N. Instruction Register
The SAP143 uses an 8-bit operation code (op-code). After fetching the instruction from the RAM, the op-code is loaded into the instruction register (IR). The IR is an 8-bit controlled buffer register, the inputs of which are latched to the lower byte of the word bus. The output of the IR drives the controller-sequencer until a new instruction is fetched and loaded.

O. Controller / Sequencer
5SAP2s controller/sequencer (CON) is asynchronous (unclocked). The CON is combinational circuit, driven by a state controller, provided by a 18-state ring counter. The CON provides a variable machine cycle, which resets the ring counter after every instruction. More detailed descriptions on the controller/sequencer can be read in the next chapter.

CONTROLLER / SEQUENCER

The Control Unit of SAP143 is designed using hardwired control. Under this design, the states (Give a short background about the control unit design)

A. State Counter
SAP143 includes 187 instructions, which consumes 241 T-states. Thus, the state counter.

B. State Decoder
The output of the T-State counter is connected to the T-State decoder. Since there are 241 states, the state decoder uses two 4x16 decoders which are connected in a coincident decoding scheme to form outputs, which creates the 8x256 decoder leaving 15 decoder outputs unused. The states are activated depending on the counters input.

C. Control Logic
The outputs of the decoder will serve as the inputs to a control logic which is responsible in sending control signals to registers, ALU, .

D. Control Signals Summary


Control Signals are used to direct the registers, dictate the operations and operands. Table 1 shows that summary of the control signals used in SAP143 design.

DESIGN CALCULATIONS

Data and pertinent computations with respect to the design are shown below such as power dissipation, noise margin, fan out, propagation delay and clock frequency.

A. Noise Margin
(Write a short description here) Noise margin, also called Noise Immunity, is the maximum noise voltage added or subtracted to the input of a digital circuit that does not cause an undesirable change in the circuit output. It is calculated from the level voltage level available in the output gate and the voltage level required at the input gate. Table 15 shows the logic level specifications of a TTL family to be used for the computations of noise margin. (table of logic level specification to be used) Table 15. Logic Level Specifications: VOL, VIL, VOH, VIH

The general formula for Noise Margin is: (Then, general formula) ( or ( ) )

(Then show your computations here. You can opt to use tables to clearly present the specific gates and their corresponding noise margins.) .

RECOMMENDATIONS

Since the design is an 8 data bit microprocessor, the group recommends maximizing the number of instructions possible. is It is capable of supporting up to 256 instructions so

additional sets may be introduced such as interrupt request. Another point for improvement
