Lab2: Design A MIPS 32-Bit ALU

This document provides instructions for designing a 32-bit MIPS ALU. The objectives are to create an ALU that performs addition, subtraction, XOR, and set on less than functions. The ALU will have 8 ports for two 32-bit inputs, a 32-bit output, 4-bit control, and flags for zero, overflow, carry out, and negative. The control lines specify which function to perform. Testbenches will be used to verify the design works as intended.

Lab2: Design a MIPS 32-bit ALU
Due Date:

Lab Objectives:
For this lab2 you are to design a simple 32-bit MIPS ALU. The ALU functions
implemented are Addition, Subtraction, eXclusive OR, and Set on Less Than.
Examples of this type of architecture is shown in chapter 4 of the textbook. The
overall block diagram of your design will look like the figure below.

Bus B

Control



The ALU has 8 ports. These ports are the two input ports A and B, the output port, ALU
control, zero detect output, overflow detect output, negative detect output, and the carryout
output. The ALU control line assignments is given below. Please use these inputs to select
the ALU function.

ALU CONTROL LINES FUNCTION
00 Add
iitiit
ion
01 XOR
10 Sub
11 Slt






Note: The Carryout and Overflow flags are very important for Addition and Subtraction. The
Carryout flag is set if an unsigned overflow occurs. The Overflow flag is set if a signed
overflow occurs. The Zero and Negative flags are only important for Addition, Subtraction,
and XOR. The Zero flag is set if the Output equals zero. The Negative flag is set if the most
significant bit of the Output equals one. What these flags do in the other cases is up to you.
