Design and Characterization of a CMOS 8-bit Microprocessor Data Path
Students in ECE 410 were challenged to design the schematic and physical layout of an 8-bit microprocessor data path, including
an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), a barrel shifter, and a register file, using CMOS circuitry and Cadence VLSI design tools. The resulting microprocessor datapath projects will be judged on their ability to satisfy several competing goals, including speed, minimization of area, number of operations and difficulty of the operation set.
