Write an HDL (Verilog) structural descrip琀椀on of a main module (according to the block diagram
provided in Step 2) and then implement it on FPGA.
In-lab task 03
Cri琀椀cal analysis:
This cri琀椀cal analysis evaluates the performance and limita琀椀ons of the Binary
Coded Decimal (BCD) counter. The experimental setup involves implemen琀椀ng the
BCD counter using a microcontroller or programmable logic device (PLD) and
connec琀椀ng it to a display for observa琀椀on. The counter's accuracy, speed, power
consump琀椀on, scalability, complexity, range, and propaga琀椀on delay are assessed.
The analysis focuses on comparing the counter's displayed output with expected
results, measuring 琀椀ming characteris琀椀cs and delays, monitoring power
consump琀椀on and energy e昀케ciency, examining scalability for higher digit counts,
and discussing limita琀椀ons such as complexity, limited range, and propaga琀椀on
delay. The 昀椀ndings provide insights into the BCD counter's performance factors
and considera琀椀ons for designing and u琀椀lizing it e昀昀ec琀椀vely in various applica琀椀ons.
