SystemC: Behavioral & Structural

Objectives

• To get familiar with the SystemC, Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 environment.
• To design simple combinational logic circuits using SystemC at the Behavioral and Structural levels.
• Simulate and test models.

Design Problems

1. Design a full subtractor using SystemC at the Behavioral level. Create the corresponding testbench and simulation files to verify your design.

2. Use SystemC to design a 4-bit ALU circuit at the Behavioral level having the following functionalities:

• The ALU should take in two 4-bit numbers.
• Add the two numbers.
• Subtract the two numbers.
• Increment the first operand by 1.
• Decrement the first operand by 1.
• AND the two numbers.
• OR the two numbers.
• NAND the two numbers.
• XOR the two numbers.
• The output of the ALU consists of one 4-bit result and a carry/borrow bit.

     Create the corresponding testbench and simulation files to verify your design.

3. Using the 4-1 multiplexor created in the previous lab, combine multiple one-bit 4-1 muxltiplexors to create one 4 bit, 4-to-1 multiplexor by using SystemC at the Structural level. Create the corresponding testbench and simulation files to verify your design. Depending on your design, you may or may not wish to use the vector.cpp file
