Carry Lookahead Adder Design And Implementation of Generic Parametrized Adder Using Verilog HDL

 Hello Dear Readers,

Today In this post I have designed a carry-lookahead adder design and implemented its parametrized version using Verilog HDL and analysis that design for the desire output. First of all, I have designed CLA based on the theory described in the below video of the Neso Academy.
     


Verilog Code:
module add (a, b, c, g, p, s); // adder and g, p
input a, b, c; // inputs: a, b, c;
output g, p, s; // outputs: g, p, s;
assign s=a ^ b ^ c; // output: sum of inputs
assign g = a & b; // output: carry generator
assign p = a | b; // output: carry propagator
endmodule

module gp (g,p,c_in,g_out,p_out,c_out); // carry generator, carry propagator
input [1:0] g, p; // lower level 2-set of g, p
input c_in; // lower level carry_in
output g_out,p_out,c_out; // higher level g, p, carry_out
assign g_out = g[1] | p[1] & g[0]; // higher level carry generator
assign p_out = p[1] & p[0]; // higher level carry propagator
assign c_out = g[0] | p[0] & c_in; // higher level carry_out
endmodule

module cla_2 (a, b, c_in, g_out, p_out, s); // 2-bit carry lookahead adder
input [1:0] a, b; // inputs: a, b
input c_in; // input: carry_in
output g_out, p_out; // outputs: g, p
output [1:0] s; // output: sum
wire [1:0] g, p; // internal wires
wire c_out; // internal wire
// add (a, b, c, g, p, s); // generates g,p,s
add a0 (a[0], b[0], c_in, g[0], p[0], s[0]); // add on bit 0
add a1 (a[1], b[1], c_out, g[1], p[1], s[1]); // add on bit 1
// gp (g, p, c_in, g_out, p_out, c_out); // higher level g,p
gp gp0 (g, p, c_in, g_out, p_out, c_out); // higher level g,p
endmodule

module cla_4 (a,b,c_in,g_out,p_out,s); // 4-bit carry lookahead adder
input [3:0] a, b; // inputs: a, b
input c_in; // input: carry_in
output g_out, p_out; // outputs: g, p
output [3:0] s; // output: sum
wire [1:0] g, p; // internal wires
wire c_out; // internal wire
cla_2 a0 (a[1:0],b[1:0],c_in, g[0],p[0],s[1:0]); // add on bits 0,1
cla_2 a1 (a[3:2],b[3:2],c_out,g[1],p[1],s[3:2]); // add on bits 2,3
gp gp0 (g,p,c_in, g_out,p_out,c_out); // higher level g,p
endmodule

module cla_8 (a,b,c_in,g_out,p_out,s); // 8-bit carry lookahead adder
input [7:0] a, b; // inputs: a, b
input c_in; // input: carry_in
output g_out, p_out; // outputs: g, p
output [7:0] s; // output: sum
wire [1:0] g, p; // internal wires
wire c_out; // internal wire
cla_4 a0 (a[3:0],b[3:0],c_in, g[0],p[0],s[3:0]); // add on bits 0-3
cla_4 a1 (a[7:4],b[7:4],c_out,g[1],p[1],s[7:4]); // add on bits 4-7
gp gp0 (g,p,c_in, g_out,p_out,c_out); // higher level g,p
endmodule

module cla_16 (a,b,c_in,g_out,p_out,s); // 16-bit carry lookahead adder
input [15:0] a, b; // inputs: a, b
input c_in; // input: carry_in
output g_out, p_out; // outputs: g, p
output [15:0] s; // output: sum
wire [1:0] g, p; // internal wires
wire c_out; // internal wire
cla_8 a0 (a[7:0], b[7:0], c_in, g[0],p[0],s[7:0]); // add on bits 0-7
cla_8 a1 (a[15:8],b[15:8],c_out,g[1],p[1],s[15:8]); // add on bits 8-15
gp gp0 (g,p,c_in, g_out,p_out,c_out); // higher level g,p
endmodule

module CLA_32(a,b,c_in,g_out,p_out,s);
input [31:0] a, b; // inputs: a, b
input c_in; // input: carry_in
output g_out, p_out; // outputs: g, p
output [31:0] s; // output: sum
wire [1:0] g, p; // internal wires
wire c_out; // internal wire
cla_16 a0 (a[15:0], b[15:0], c_in, g[0],p[0],s[15:0]); // + bits 0-15
cla_16 a1 (a[31:16],b[31:16],c_out,g[1],p[1],s[31:16]); // + bits 16-31
gp gp0 (g,p,c_in,g_out,p_out,c_out);
endmodule

module cla32 (a,b,ci,s); // 32-bit carry lookahead adder, no g, p outputs
input [31:0] a, b; // inputs: a, b
input ci; // input: carry_in
output [31:0] s; // output: sum
wire g_out, p_out; // internal wires
CLA_32 cla (a, b, ci, g_out, p_out, s); // use cla_32 module
endmodule

Best Book for Designing Microarchitecture of Microprocessor Using Verilog HDL

  Hello Dear Readers, Currently, after succeeding in many topics now I starting to provide technical book reviews which were I have completed and still read books always. So let us start today's book review. Book Name:   Computer Principles and Design in Verilog  HDL Description:  Uses Verilog HDL to illustrate computer architecture and microprocessor design, allowing readers to readily simulate and adjust the operation of each design, and thus build industrially relevant skills Introduces the computer principles, computer design, and how to use Verilog HDL (Hardware Description Language) to implement the design Provides the skills for designing processor/arithmetic/cpu chips, including the unique application of Verilog HDL material for CPU (central processing unit) implementation Despite the many books on Verilog and computer architecture and microprocessor design, few, if any, use Verilog as a key tool in helping a student to understand these design techniques...
