 | Symbol drawing for entire system
 | draw one block (rectangle) that represents the entire device |
| draw and label primary inputs on left side of block |
| draw and label primary outputs on right side of block |
|
| Block diagram for entire system
| show all major components in the entire system |
| show register-level detail for the digital system implemented by the
FPGA (use single blocks to represent the controller and datapath; details of
these elements will be shown in a separate diagram) |
| show specific interconnections between all devices |
| show FPGA boundary |
| show XS40 board boundary |
| hint: you will know that you have drawn a proper diagram when all
wires or buses begin at one block and end at another block; there must be no
"dangling" wires anywhere on the diagram |
|
| Symbol drawing for digital system
| draw one block (rectangle) that represents the digital system
implemented by the FPGA |
| draw and label primary inputs on left side of block |
| draw and label primary outputs on right side of block |
|
| State transition diagram for controller
| show states |
| use state names that are descriptive of the activity performed in each
state |
| make a table to indicate primary inputs, primary outputs, control points
(to datapath), and condition (status) signals (from datapath) |
| indicate which state is entered when the asynchronous master reset is
asserted |
|
| Register-level block diagram for datapath
| indicate control points (from controller) and condition signals (to
controller) |
| indicate the behavior desired from control inputs on the devices |
|
| Timing diagram
| controller: show state, external inputs, condition signals from datapath,
control signals to datapath |
| datapath: show outputs of datapath devices |
| overall system: show all inputs and outputs |
| include annotations and other notes to clearly explain causal
relationships between signals |
|
| Test plan for finished system
| state the procedures you will use to show that your finished product
meets all design requirements |
| state the procedures you will use to test the performance of your
finished ADC |
| remember that you are designing a measurement device, so consider what
you need to do to determine how well your measurement device works |
|
| Written commentary to explain how your system works |
