Assessment Details and Submission Guidelines
Unit Code BE102 – T2 2017
Unit Title Digital Systems
Assessment Type Group, written
Assessment Title Assignment2: Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) and Random Access Memory (RAM)
Purpose of the assessment (with ULO Mapping) This assignment provides students with sound knowledge of the principles and practices of digital systems, both at the device and circuit level. Students will be able to perform some of the digital system concepts such as number systems, logic gates, combinatorial and sequential logic circuit design. This assignment is designed to apply the theoretical concepts of digital analysis to integrated electronic applications

Part B: Design/Implementation of Random Access Memory (RAM) – Sequential Logic
[35 Marks]
RAM is a device to which binary information is transferred for storage and a device from which stored binary information is retrieved.
You are required to design a 8x2 bit Random Access Memory (RAM) device. i.e. each of the 8 addresses are capable of storing 2 bit information and stored information should be available for retrieval.

Basic memory cell diagram is given:

You need to use Logisim software tool to display your implementation/design and for demonstration.
Your submission should include the following steps:
I. All truth tables and expressions for combinational logic, Karnaugh maps, minimizations, wherever appropriate
[5 Marks]
II. Description of the design
[10 Marks]
III. Implementation using Logisim
[15 Marks]
IV. Demonstration (Addressing, reading from an address and writing to an address)
[5 Marks]
