CECS 225 LAB 01: Half Adder solution

Description

Purpose: In this project you are asked to define and test a Half Adder

Objectives:

• Continue to get familiar with EDAPlayground
• Start to learn HDL (Verilog) basics
• To understand binary addition

Step 1:  create module on the right panel

The Half Adder is a digital building block with 2 inputs (A, B) and 2 outputs (S, Cout).  The Half Adder logic must be modeled next. The circuit below shows the Half Adder logic circuit and the equivalent boolean equations:

Binary Operator Symbols in Verilog

This completes the verilog module definition of the half adder.  Next it must be tested to ensure it works correctly.

Step 2:  Create a Half Adder Verilog Test Fixture.  To test a module for correct functionality, a set of inputs will be provided to produce an expected set of outputs.  A Verilog Testbench is used to test a Verilog source module.

Create the Half Adder test script.  To test a module for correct functionality, a set of inputs will be provided to produce an expected set of outputs.  For simple modules like the half adder a truth table is used to show the outputs that can be expected from a set of inputs.

The Cout output column shows that Cout equals 1 only when A equals 1 and B equals 1.

The S output column shows that S equals 1 when the value of A is not equal to the value of B.

Simulation results are shown as waveforms.
