T HE ECE 547 VLSI design project described in this paper is an 8-bit Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU). We used the 74S181 [1] 4-bit ALU design, which was manufactured by Texas Instruments, as the base of the 8-bit design. Our ALU takes two 8-bits inputs busses (A and B) and performs 32 arithmetic functions and 16 logic functions. There is a 4-bit function select bus (S) to choose the specific operation to perform on the inputs. Also the ALU has one carry input (Cin). The function select M is cal...
