1. Using assign and deassign statements, design a positive edge-triggered D-flipflop with asynchronous clear(q=0) and preset (q=1).

my answer:

2. Using primitive gates, design a 1-bit full adder FA. Instantiate the full adder inside a stimulus module. Force the sum output to a & b & c_in for the time between 15 and 35 units.

my answer:

3. A 1-bit full adder FA is defined with gates and with delay parameters as shown below.

// Define a 1-bit full adder

module fulladd(sum,c_out,a,b,c_in);

parameter d_sum=0,d_cout=0;

//I/O port declarations

output sum,c_out;

input a,b,c_in;

//Internal nets

wire s1,c1,c2;

//Instantiate logic gate primitives

xor(s1,a,b);

and(c1,a,b);

xor #(d_sum) (sum,s1,c_in); //delay on output sum is d_sum

and (c2,s1,c_in);

or #(d_out) (c_out,c2,c1); //delay on output c_out is d_cout

endmodule

Define a 4-bit full adder fulladd4 as shown in example 5-8, but pass the following parameter values to the instances, using the two methods discussed in the book.

Instance	Delay Values
fa0	d_sum=1,d_cout-1
fa1	d_sum=2,d_cout=2
fa2	d_sum=2,d_cout=2
fa3	d_sum=3,d_cout=3

a. Build the fulladd4 module with defparm statements to change instance parameter values. Simulate the 4-bit full adder using the stimulus shown is example 5-9 . Explain the effect of the full adder delays on the times when outputs of the adder appear. ( Use delays of 20 instead of 5 used in this stimulus. )

b. Build the fulladd4 with delay values passed to instances fa0, fa1, fa2, fa3 during instantiation. Resimulate the 4-bit adder, using the stimulus above. Check if the results are identical.

my answer:

4. Create a design that uses the full adder example above. Use a conditional compilation (`ifdef). compile the fulladd4 with defparam statements if the text macro DPARAM is defined by the `define statement; otherwise, compile the fulladd4 with module instance parameter values.

my answer:

6. What will be the output of the $display statement shown below?

.

my answer:

# I am inside instance top.a1.b1

7. Consider the 4-bit full adder in example 6-4. Write a stimulus file to do random testing of the full adder. Use a random number generator to generate a 32-bit random number. Pick bit 3:0 and apply them to input a; pick bits 7:4 and apply them to input b. Use bit 8 and apply it to c_in. Apply 20 random test vectors and observe the output.

my answer:

8. Use the 8-bit memory initialization example in example 9-14 . Modify the file to read data in hexadecimal. Write a new data file with the following addresses and data values. Unspecified locations are not initialized.

Location Address	Data
1	33
2	66
4	z0
5	0z
6	01

my answer:

9. Write an initial block that controls the VCD file. The initial block must do the following:

l Set myfile.dmp as the output VCD file.

l Dump all variables two levels deep in module instance top.a1.b1.c1.

l Stop dumping to VCD at time 200.

l Start dumping to VCD at time 400.

l Stop dumping to VCD at time 500.

l Create a checkpoint. Dump the current value of all VCD variables to the dumpfile.
