A computer is, at its core, just a bunch of transistors wired together. Once you have enough transistors on a board, though, one of the first layers of abstraction that arises is the Arithmetic Logic ...

Arithmetic Logic Units are combinations of digital logic gates that performs arithmetic and logical operations on binary numbers. For this project, an 8-bit ALU was made entirely of NAND gates only. A ...

In this video, we explore the fundamental components of computers, beginning with transistors and their role in CPUs. The Intel 4004 processor, the first commercially available processor, is discussed ...

In this paper VHDL implementation of 8-bit Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is presented. The design was implemented using VHDL Xilinx Synthesis tool ISE 13.1 and targeted for Spartan device. ALU was ...

There’s much truth in the advice that, to truly understand something, you need to build it yourself from the ground up. That’s the idea behind [Christian]’s entry for the Re-engineering Education ...

ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) is the fundamental unit of a microprocessor which performs all the basic operations based on the control input selection. There are separate units which work independent of ...

The developing team at Arith-Matic a British computational hardware project and micro startup, have created a new 4-bit arithmetic unit, designed to be provided in kit form and “beautifully dissects ...
