Part 1.
Part 2.
Write the Altera program for the adder of two two-bit binary numbers. Use the Text Editor to enter your program, save it and check it for errors.
Part 3.
Sketch a circuit to implement the S2, S1 and S0
functions using 74HC00, 74HC04, and 74HC10 chips. How many chips do you need (fewer is
better)?
Assume that all chips consume about the same amount of power. How do the the power
savings compare when using a programmable chip as opposed to discrete components?
Assume that the circuit failure rate is proportional to the number of external
connections. How does the reliability of the programmable chip circuit compare to the
reliability of the discrete component circuits?
A 7032 PLD chip is approx. $5 and HC chip ~$0.50. How do the initial circuit costs
compare?
Did you include wiring costs?
Bonus question (+5%):
How does their life cycle cost compare?
