16-bit ALU design for the KITE microprocessor


Before experimentally, create a new working directory for this theme and work in it.

Let's start the 16-bit ALU design for the KITE-1 microprocessor.
First, the specification of ALU must be made clear.
ALU for the KITE microprocessor must have 16 operations for instruction execution.

Arithmetic operations
Operarions Behavior Remarks
ADD A + B Addition. Also it is used for address generation.
DEC A-- Decrement. Also it is used for stack operation.
INC A++ Inclement. Also it is used for stack operation.
SUB A - B Subtraction.

Logical operation
Operations Behavior Remarks
OR A | B Bitwise logical or.
XOR A ^ B Bitwise logical xor.
AND A & B Bitwise logical and.
NOT ~A Bitwise not. Same as 1's complement.

Shift and rotation
Operations Behavior Remarks
ASR operand / 2 1 bit arithmetic right shift. Same as divide by 2.
ASL operand * 2 1 bit arithmetic left shift. Same as multiply 2.
LSR (operand / 2) & 0x7fff 1 bit logical right shift.
LSL operand * 2 1 bit logical left shift. The result becomes the same as the arithmetic left shift but differs from flag behavior.
ROR 1 bit rotate right. The 1-bit clockwise-rotation of operand.
ROL 1 bit rotate left. The 1-bit anticlockwise-rotation of operand
SWP Exchange of the high byte and the low-byte. It is possible to operate a byte unit.

Special operation
Operation Behavior Remarks
PAS Through the operand It is used at the inter-register data transfer.


It designs ALU by the following procedure and it simulates it.

Well, input/output definition of decoder sequencer attempts to have.
