Objectives
Provide hands-on experience in designing and implementing an ALU using Verilog HDL.
Develop insights into digital logic circuits and proficiency in coding complex hardware components.
Understand the core functionality of an ALU and design similar modules for various computational tasks.
Introduction
Understanding digital logic circuits and their implementation is fundamental in computer engineering.
The Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is a key component of a processor, responsible for arithmetic and
logical operations.
Verilog Hardware Description Language (HDL) is commonly used for describing electronic systems,
making it essential for hardware-level programming.
In this lab we are going to design an arithmetic logic unit in Verilog HDL. The AND and OR operations are
performed by Logical gates whereas addition or subtraction operations are selected by the binvert and carryin .

Conclusion:
The successful implementation of fundamental adder circuits establishes a robust groundwork for continued
advancement within the realm of digital design. Future endeavours may encompass the following:
Complex Arithmetic Units: Expand knowledge by designing more intricate arithmetic logic
units (ALUs) capable of performing multiplication, division, and other advanced operations.
Optimization Strategies: Investigate and apply diverse optimization techniques to enhance
the speed, power efficiency, and area utilization of digital designs.
System-Level Integration: Incorporate adder circuits into broader system-on-chip (SoC)
architectures, exploring the intricacies of interfacing and communication between various
digital components.
