TSTE12

Handin exercises 2024 part 1

IMPORTANT: Handin tasks are INDIVIDUAL. Do NOT work together to solve these questions!

Submit all theory question answers in one submission into Lisam. Indicate answers using one line per question, indicating which question (A-D) and which of the multiple choices (1-4) that is your answer to each question.

To pass on the handin exercises it is required to reach 9 correct exercises of 12 on each of theory and code exercises. The handins are divided into 3 sets of questions with 4 points of theori and 4 points of coding on each. Read closely the instructions on the handin main page!

Note the time schedule!
Handin exercise answers must be submitted at latest by the deadline on the given date. Use the commands "module load courses/TSTE12 ; TSTE12handin" to open a shell window to work from.

Handin part 1 is due by Monday 23 September 2024 at 23.30!

The results will be available in the lisam submission.

Note:
   Read the instructions at the main page!!
   Ask if any difficulties or uncertainty!!

Good luck!


Theory A

What is WRONG related to VHDL? 1) VHDL source code is portable between computer platforms
2) The language has been standardized (by IEEE)
3) The language can only process data presented as bits
4) VHDL programs can read and write files



Theory B

Which datatype was NOT part of the original VHDL standard from 1987? 1) mvl4
2) boolean
3) severity_level
4) character



Theory C

Which library/libraries are always available? 1) none
2) STD
3) WORK
4) STD and WORK



Teori D

What is WRONG regarding variable in VHDL? 1) Variable assignments always includes a delay
2) Variables can not be assigned a value from a signal
3) Variables assignments can not include a delay
4) Variable assignment uses the := operator



Exercise Code A

   source file: INL1_KA.vhdl   Name of the source file
        Entity: INL1_KA        Name of the entity
  architecture: KA             Name of the architecture
        Inputs: A              data in,  bit_vector(3 downto 0)
       Outputs: Y              data out, bit

      Behavour: Create a 4-input NAND gate. 

       Example: A="0000" => Y='1'
                A="1101" => Y='1'
                A="1111" => Y='0'


Exercise Code B

   source file: INL1_KB.vhdl   Name of the source file
        Entity: INL1_KB        Name of the entity
  architecture: KB             Name of the architecture
        Inputs: A              data in, bit
                B              data in, bit
       Outputs: Y              data out, bit

      Behavour: Create a 2-input AND gate with a 3 ns output delay.
                Any output pulse shorter than 3 ns should be filtered
                out.

       Example: A='1', B='1' for a long time => Y='1'
                A='1', B='1', B change to '0' at time 2 ns, B change to '1' at 4 ns => Y='1' (no change)
                A='1', B='1', A change to '0' at time 6 ns => Y='0' from time 9 ns


Exercise Code C

   source file: INL1_KC.vhdl   Name of the source file
        Entity: INL1_KC        Name of the entity
  architecture: KC             Name of the architecture
        Inputs: A              data in, bit
                B              data in, bit
                C              data in, bit
       Outputs: Y              data out, bit

     Behaviour: Output a '1' only if exactly one of the inputs is '1', output '0' otherwise

       Example: A='0', B='1', C='1' => Y='0'
                A='1', B='0', C='0' => Y='1'
                A='1', B='1', C='1' => Y='0'


Exercise Code D

   source file: INL1_KD.vhdl   Name of the source file.
        Entity: INL1_KD        Name of the entity
  architecture: KD             Name of the architecture
        Inputs: A              data in,  bit_vector(0 to 1)
                B              data in,  bit
       Outputs: Y              data out, bit


     Behaviour: Create a multiplexer where B selects which element in A
                to output on Y. B='0' select A(0) and B='1' selects A(1).

       Example: A="01",B='1' => Y='1'
                A="10",B='1' => Y='0'
