Question
Overview
In this assignment you are required to implement binary code comparator using Xilinx that it is compatible with the MXK Seven Segment Displays. You will draw your digital logic circuit using Xilinx and then simulate it to verify the functionality of your design.
Software Requirements
? Xilinx ISE 10.1 or higher
Specifications
Binary Code Comparator
The binary code comparator is to be implemented and made compatible with the seven 7-segment displays of the board. Represent the first five digits of your student number into binary. If a given decimal digit is odd, then the binary equivalent will be 1, otherwise it will be 0. For example, the student (decimal) number 99805234 will produce 11001. The user is to enter a 5-bit binary sequence one bit at a time. The five bits will be displayed on five of the seven segment displays. If the five entered bits equal to the stored binary code, then ‘E’ is to be displayed on the sixths seven- segment display. However, if the five entered bits do not equal the binary code, then ‘n’ is to bedisplayed. Note that you do not have to display bits as they are received in accumulating manner (as shown in the figure below), rather, you can display all five bits and the comparator outcome (‘E’ or ‘n’) when the fifth bit is received. All six seven-segment displays are to stay on for five seconds, then they will be erased. Once the displays are erased, the circuit will be ready for receiving a new set of five input bits.
- Reset: if pressed, the circuit will return to the initial state and all seven segment displays are to be erased.
- Input (could be received from a dipswitch in your MXK): to specify the binary input (1 or 0).
- Trigger (could be received from a pushbutton in your MXK): to allow the input to be received by the circuit.
- Clock: to alternate between the 7-segment displays (expected to be around 1000 Hz).
There are two sets of outputs, which are:
- d1, d2, ..., d7 (anodes to switch between the seven 7-segment displays)
