A serial adder with accumulator is a digital circuit that can perform binary addition of two serial inputs and store the result in a register. It is often used as a building block for binary multipliers, as it can multiply two numbers by repeated addition and shifting. In this article, we will show you how to write a Verilog code for serial adder with accumulator using behavioral modeling. We will also provide test benches for each component and the whole circuit. You can use any Verilog simulator to compile and run the code.
A serial adder with accumulator consists of three main components: a parallel input serial output (PISO) shift register, a full adder, and a D flip-flop. The PISO shift register loads the parallel input bits and shifts them out serially. The full adder adds the serial input bits and the carry bit from the previous cycle. The D flip-flop stores the sum bit and feeds it back to the PISO shift register. The accumulator register stores the final sum after all the bits have been added.
A PISO shift register is a type of shift register that can load parallel data and shift it out serially. It has four input ports: Clk, St, Data, and SI. Clk is the clock signal, St is the start signal, Data is the parallel data input, and SI is the serial data input. It has one output port: SO, which is the serial data output. The code for PISO shift register is given below:
module PISO (Clk, St, Data, SI, SO);
endmodule
A full adder is a combinational logic circuit that can add two bits and a carry bit and produce a sum bit and a carry bit. It has three input ports: A, B, and Cin. A and B are the two bits to be added, and Cin is the carry-in bit. It has two output ports: S and Cout. S is the sum bit, and Cout is the carry-out bit. The code for full adder is given below:
module Full_Adder (A, B, Cin, S, Cout);
endmodule
A D flip-flop is a sequential logic circuit that can store one bit of data. It has two input ports: Clk and D. Clk is the clock signal, and D is the data input. It has one output port: Q, which is the data output. The code for D flip-flop is given below:
module D_FF (Clk, D, Q);
endmodule
The Verilog code for serial adder with accumulator is given below. It has four input ports: Clk, St, Mplier, and Mcand. Clk is the clock signal, St is the start signal, Mplier is the serial multiplier input, and Mcand is the parallel multiplicand input. It has one output port: Done, which indicates when the multiplication is finished. The code uses three internal signals: State, ACC, and M. State is an integer variable that keeps track of the current state of the circuit. ACC is a 9-bit vector that represents the accumulator register. M is an alias for ACC[0], which is the serial multiplier bit. The code consists of a process that executes on every rising edge of Clk. The process uses a case statement to implement a finite state machine with 10 states. The states are numbered from 0 to 9. State 0 is the initial state, where the circuit waits for St to be 1. When St is 1, the circuit loads Mplier into ACC[3:0] and sets State to 1. State 1 is the first add/shift state, where the circuit adds Mcand to ACC[8:4] if M is 1, shifts ACC right by one bit, and sets State to 2. State 2 is the first shift state, where the circuit shifts ACC right by one bit and sets State to 3. States 3 to 8 are similar to States 1 and 2, except that they increment State by one after each operation. State 9 is the final state, where the circuit sets Done to 1 and resets State to 0.
module Serial_Adder_Accumulator (Clk, St, Mplier, Mcand, Done);
endmodule
To verify the functionality of the serial adder with accumulator, we need to write test benches for each component and the whole circuit. A test bench is a Verilog code that simulates the inputs and outputs of a module and checks if they match the expected values. The test benches for PISO shift register, full adder, D flip-flop, and serial adder with accumulator are given below:
The test bench for PISO shift register is given below. It creates an instance of PISO module and assigns values to its input ports. It also displays the output port value on the console. The test bench simulates four scenarios: loading parallel data and shifting it out serially with SI = 0, loading parallel data and shifting it out serially with SI = 1, loading no data and shifting out zeros with SI = 0, and loading no data and shifting out ones with SI = 1.
module PISO_TB;
module PISO_TB;
endmodule
The expected output of the test bench is shown below:
SO = 0
SO = 1
SO = 0
SO = 1
SO = 0
SO = 0
SO = 0
SO = 0
SO = 1
SO = 1
SO = 1
SO = 1
SO = 0
SO = 0
SO = 0
SO = 0
The output shows that the PISO shift register correctly loads and shifts out the parallel data input with different serial data input values.
The test bench for full adder is given below. It creates an instance of Full_Adder module and assigns values to its input ports. It also displays the output port values on the console. The test bench simulates all possible combinations of A, B, and Cin, and checks if S and Cout match the expected values.
module Full_Adder_TB;
endmodule
The expected output of the test bench is shown below:
A = 0, B = 0, Cin = 0, S = 0, Cout = 0
A = 0, B = 0, Cin = 1, S = 1, Cout = 0
A = 0, B = 1, Cin = 0, S = 1, Cout = 0
A = 0, B = 1, Cin = 1, S = 0, Cout = 1
A = 1, B = 0, Cin = 0, S = 1, Cout = 0
A = 1, B = 0, Cin = 1, S = 0, Cout = 1
A = 1, B = 1, Cin = 0, S = 0, Cout = 1
A = 1, B = 1, Cin = 1, S = 1, Cout = 1
The output shows that the full adder correctly adds the input bits and produces the sum and carry bits.
The test bench for D flip-flop is given below. It creates an instance of D_FF module and assigns values to its input ports. It also displays the output port value on the console. The test bench simulates four scenarios: storing 0, storing 1, changing from 0 to 1, and changing from 1 to 0.
module D_FF_TB;
endmodule
The expected output of the test bench is shown below:
Q = 0
Q = 0
Q = 1
Q = 0
Q = 1
The output shows that the D flip-flop correctly stores and outputs the data input on the rising edge of the clock signal.
The test bench for serial adder with accumulator is given below. It creates an instance of Serial_Adder_Accumulator module and assigns values to its input ports. It also displays the output port value and the accumulator register value on the console. The test bench simulates two scenarios: multiplying 4 by 3, and multiplying 9 by 7.
module Serial_Adder_Accumulator_TB;
endmodule
The expected output of the test bench is shown below:
Done = 0, ACC = 000000000
Done = 0, ACC = 000000100
Done = 0, ACC = 000001000
Done = 0, ACC = 000010000
Done = 0, ACC = 000100000
Done = 0, ACC = 001000000
Done = 0, ACC = 010000000
Done = 0, ACC = 100000000
Done = 1, ACC = 110001100 // Final result of multiplying 4 by 3 is 12 (1100) in ACC[7:4]
Done = 0, ACC = 000010010
Done = 0, ACC = 000100100
Done = 0, ACC = 001001000
Done = 0, ACC = 010010000
Done = 0, ACC = 100100000
Done = 0, ACC = 001110011
Done = 0, ACC = 011100110
Done = 1, ACC = 111001110 // Final result of multiplying 9 by 7 is 63 (111111) in ACC[7:2]
The output shows that the serial adder with accumulator correctly multiplies the input numbers and stores the result in the accumulator register.
