Decoder test - the D3_8E

bullet

 Goals of this exercise:
bullet

How to create a schematic source module

bullet

How to open a complex symbol (possible in this case)

bullet

How to assign a constant high signal Vcc

bullet

How to create a Test Bench Waveform.

bullet

How to make a "Post-Route Simulation"

bullet

How to Assign Package Pins and later correct an error with the UCF text-editor.

bullet

How to create a similar VHDL module and set this as Top Module.

 Entry of a Schematic Design

 

 

 

 

 
  1. Use the [Select Object(s)] tool to point at the component.
     

  2. Note the red colour as marker
     

  3. Select the [Push into Symbol] to open a new window with the content of the symbol
    (Works only with complex components like this)
     

  4. If your working with floating windows must you go back to the ISE window in order to find to Schematic.
     

  5. Try to figure the diagram
    (which level of E will enable the Decoder)

 
 
 

How to assign fixed levels like 1/0 => Vcc / Gnd

 Make and test a VHDL Module

 
 

 

   
 

 
 

 
 
  1. Go back to the schematic and make the signal E an input.
  2. Make a test with the new circuit.
  3. If you like to try some VHDL - do the same with the VHDL example.
