Design of Datapath elements in Digital Circuits Debdeep Mukhopadhyay IIT Madras
What is datapath? • Suppose we want to design a Full Adder (FA): – Sum=A ^ B ^ CIN = Parity(A,B,CIN) – COUT=AB+ACIN+BCIN=MAJ(A,B,CIN)
• Combine the two functions to a single FA logic cell: ADD(A[i],B[i],CIN,S[i],COUT) • How do we build a 4-bit ripple carry adder?
A 4 bit Adder
The layout of buswide logic that operates on data signals is called a Datapath. The module ADD is called a Datapath element.
What is the difference between datapath and standard cells? • Standard Cell Based Design: Cells are placed together in rows but there is no generally no regularity to the arrangement of the cells within the rows—we let software arrange the cells and complete the interconnect. • Datapath layout automatically takes care of most of the interconnect between the cells with the following advantages: – Regular layout produces predictable and equal delay for each bit. – Interconnect between cells can be built into each cell.
Digital Device Components
• We shall concentrate first on this.
Why Datapaths? • The speed of these elements often dominates the overall system performance so optimization techniques are important. • However, as we will see, the task is non-trivial since there are multiple equivalent logic and circuit topologies to choose from, each with adv./disadv. in terms of speed, power and area. • Datapath elements include shifters, adders, multipliers, etc.
Bit slicing
How can we develop architectures which are bit sliced?
