The Ripple Adder
Programming an FPGA using VHDL
Author Student ID:
Deadline: 08/05/2013
Students are introduced to using VHDL to program FPGA’s, rather than using Schematic Capture software. They build 4 and 8 bit ripple adders and learn exactly where the term “ripple” comes from.
Furthermore they are introduced programming and simulating their VHDL code in the software called
Xillinx ISE.

Introduction:
Assignment to complete:
1. Identify the bit patterns for the 4-bit adder which are being added in the test bench code and the sum and carry expected.
Figure 1.1 – Output waveform of 4-bit adder VHDL code
As seen in above figure (fig.1.1) the simulated output shows the bit patterns to be added and the result, including the carry out. The code to produce above waveform, can be found in Appendix 2.
Within the test bench code, the input/stimulus part of the code (see appendix 2, table b, lines 63 - 72) shows the above described bits, being applied.
The sum result is correct as seen below:
