Lab 8- Control Unit

Design guidelines for lab 8 .

March 22, 2002
As our circuits become more complex, we need stronger timer signals. So we must add Timer Signal Boosters to our control unit. We looked at the specifications given to us and decided to use D flip flops rather than the T flip flop suggested. The D flip flop was easier to understand and implement. In the end, we were able to produce a component that will step through each signal of the fetch cycle and execute cycle, and then start over again.

We also applied a unique delay and time system so that our control unit functions smoothly. Individual designs were submitted.

Integration of the control unit proceeded fairly smoothly. The new control unit simplified some of our wiring. With a new control unit, we were finally able to put up a good working version. Further refinements to the system will be done as we analyse the interactions of each component. At this point, CAPC looks to be very close to be finalized.
