ICS155B Lab Assignments: Lab 4 Design of MIPS Datapath

This document provides instructions for Lab 4, which involves designing and implementing a MIPS datapath. The lab has two parts: 1. Designing a multi-functional ALU that can perform logical, arithmetic, and shift operations on 6-bit inputs. The design and testbench are submitted electronically. 2. Designing and implementing the full MIPS datapath, including a register file, registers, ALU, and control unit. The datapath supports register reads/writes and basic control flow instructions. The block diagram submitted on paper shows the top-level design and components. A testbench is also developed.

Lab 4 Design of MIPS datapath


In this lab you will implement a data path to execute a subset of MIPS ISA shown below. The data path implements all necessary operation for the execution of the instructions shown, including PC calculations for next instruction.

Part II: DATAPATH DESIGN and IMPLEMENTATION Paper design "23# The +,-I'./ design and testbench 423 5 )23# %emos 623# %atapath Specification$ The datapath consists of a register file -@#, registers 7A8 and 798, an arithmetic logic unit A'(#, a result register A'(Aout# and certain number of multiplexers, shift and sign extension units. The the memory is an external component of this design. Its inputsBoutputs are ports on your datapath entity. The data path also performs next PC computation. There is Cust one A'( that is used for operation execution and for the next address generation. The data path implements PC computations and operation execution in different cloc0 cycles. Also, register file read is done one cycle prior to A'( execution. -egister file write is performed one cycle after the A'( execution cycle.

The register file specification was gi>en in 'ab 6. *ou will use the beha>ioral >ersion of your 'ab6 design as a component in 'ab 4. *ou will modify your 'ab 6 so that the register file contains 6) registers. .utputs from the register file are read into registers 78A8 and 798. -egisters 7A8 and 798 store >alues that are read from the register file ser>e as some of# inputs to the A'( during the following cloc0 cycle. -esult register 7A'(Aout8 is 6)&bit register and it is used to store A'( output.
