Studied the Am2901 4-bit ALU slice architecture from AMD's 1975 bit-slice family, understanding the register file, ALU functions, and data paths.
Recreated AMD's 1975 Am2901 4-bit ALU slice in VHDL using Vivado, simulating basic arithmetic and logic operations to explore how modular bit-slice processors worked.
Studied the Am2901 4-bit ALU slice architecture from AMD's 1975 bit-slice family, understanding the register file, ALU functions, and data paths.
Implemented the Am2901 in VHDL, modeling the 16 registers, ALU operations, and control signals.
Simulated the design in Vivado, running simple arithmetic and logic operations to verify correct behavior.
Successfully simulated the Am2901 bit-slice ALU in VHDL.
Standard TTL voltage levels (5V). Use ESD protection when handling ICs.
