Designing of a basic monocycle MIPS microprocessor in a FPGA

Abstract

This project is about microprocessor so what is a microprocessor ? A microprocessor is a processor (something who execute instruction) wich all componants are small enough to go in only one small box. It's mostly composed of transistor, invented in 1947, and the first integrated circuits was invented in 1958. At the begining the microprocessor was composed of 4 bits then 8 bits then … and now 64 Bits. To make todays microprocessor we need a lot of part but in this case we need a PC (program counter) unit , an Instruction memory, a Register File, an ALU (aritmectic logic unit), a data memory, some multiplexor, some adder and a sign extension part. We'll see they fonctionnement in this memory. To make all that part working we need to use VHDL code and to see how it work we need to simultate it.
