| - | - **(2p)** Change the adder | + | - **(2p)** Change the adder8 module from exercise 1 by including a carry bit as an additional input. You can use any of //a// or //b// implementation. Add at least 5 data sets in adder8_test.sv, which will exercise the module and upload a screenshot with the simulation waveform to emphasize them. |

| - | - **(3p)** Change the comparator - implement using if statements | + | * //Hint//: A complete testing shall exercise all of the inputs. |
| - | - **(4p)** Mini - ALU | + | - **(3p)** Change the implementation of the comparator, following the rules below: |
| + | * Implement it using if constructs, using a procedural block; | ||
| + | * Change the size of the inputs to 6 bits. | ||
| + | * //Hint//: Do not forget to use the reg type when needed! | ||
| + | * //Note//: In procedural blocks, the outputs shall have a value at any moment so that they do not become memory components at the synthesis level. Considering this, it is useful to initialize them in the beginning. | ||
| + | - **(4p)** Implement a 8bit multiplier, with 2 inputs and one output. | ||
| + | * //Hint//: Take as reference the adder8 module. | ||
| + | * //Hint//: What is the size of the output? Consider the highest 8bit number. | ||
| + | - **(4p)** Implement a tiny ALU (**A**rithmetical **L**ogical **U**nit), that shall be able to execute 16bit ADD and SUB operations. The ALU has 3 inputs, op1 (16bits), op2(16bits), sel(1bit) and 2 outputs, result(16bits) and carry(1bit). | ||
| + | * //Hint//: Sel input selects the operation that is executed: 0 - ADD, 1 - SUB | ||
| + | * //Hint//: You can use the concatenate operator { } in order to make the result a 17bit variable! | ||
| + | * //Note//: When you operate the ALU inside a CPU, you have a fixed length bus available for all the data. | ||
