Have you studied pipelining? List the 5 stages of a 5 stage
pipeline. Assuming 1 clock per stage, what is the latency of
an instruction in a 5 stage machine? What is the throughput
of this machine ? |

| Answer |
I have worked on design consit of 5 stage pipeline
processor.
With 5 stage pipeline it takes minimum 5 clock cycle to to
execute a instuction. So latency of instuction is5 clock
cycles.
Through put is one instruction per clock cycle + initial
overhed of 4 clock cycle  |

| Answer |
1.Instruction fetch
2.decode instruction and read register files
3.execute
4.data to access from memory
5.write back
throughput is the total amount of work done in a given time,  |

| Answer |
Yes.
1.Memory processor bus= high speed, short length.
2.I/O bus.
3.Backplane bus= General purpose bus ex PCI  |

| Answer |
NAND gate is normally prefered because the mobility of
holes in NAND gate is three times greater than mobility of
electron.  |

| Answer |
if u look at the structure of cmos-nand gate,u cud find the
parallel pmos pull-up transistor configuration whereas in
cmos-nor gate its series config,so the effective resistance
offered by 2-pmos transistors even when they r conducting
due to small Rds (drain-to-source resistance)are smaller in
comparison to the same offered by series pmos in nor
gate..hence the current delivered to the output during HIGH
o/p condition is more for nand gate,due to which it has the
ability to drive more no. of loads of similar type ,thus
offer improved FAN-OUT than cmos-nor gate.
I feel tat this could be the reason..it is true fact as per
WAKERLY text book..but there cud be 'n' no of other reasons
too..think over
thankx..

| Answer |
NAAND gate is more preferred than NOR because high to low
and low to high transition time is less in NAND as compared
to NOR  |
0 | Naseemuddin Ansari |

| |
| Answer |
As because the logical effort of Nand gate is lower than
that of the Nor gate the time taken to drive same capacitor
with same input slew is lesser for Nand that that of Nor.
Means Nand is faster than Nor.  |

| Answer |
nand gate is preferred because it has high driving
capacity.  |

| Answer |
NAND is a better gate for design than NOR because at the
transistor level the mobility of electrons of NAND is
normally three times that of holes compared to NOR and thus
the NAND is a faster gate. The gate-leakage in NAND
structures is much lower. If you consider t_phl and t_plh
delays you will find that it is more symmetric in case of
NAND (the delay profile), but for NOR, one delay is much
higher than the other(obviously t_plh is higher since the
higher resistance PMOSs are in series connection which
again increases the resistance).  |

| Answer |
IN SPARTAN 3E BOARD.. THE INTERNAL CLOCK FREQUENCY IS
16MHZ... IF WE WANT TO INTERFACING THE EXT DIPLAY DEVICES
WE WON'T RUN IT WITH A NORMAL CLOCK FREQ(16
MHZ)....THATSWHY I HAVE TO CREATED NEW CLOCK PULSE WITH THE
FREQ OF 1HZ BY DEVIDING THE CLOCK..... TAKE THE NORMAL CLK
AS A REFERENCE...THIS IS KNOWN AS CLOCK DIVIDER CONCEPT...
ENTITY CLK_DIV IS
PORT(CLK: IN STD_LOGIC;
NEWCLK:OUT STD_LOGIC);
END CLK_DIV
ARCH BEH OF CLK_DIV IS
VARIABLE COUNT:INTEGER:=0;
SIGNAL CLKN:STD_LOGIC;
BEGIN
PROCESS(CLK)
BEGIN
IF CLK='1' AND CLK'EVENT THEN
COUNT:=COUNT+1;
IF COUNT=8000000 THEN
NEWCLK<= NOT CLKN
COUNT:=0;
END PROCESS;
END BEH;  |

| Answer |
This is a phenomena associated with the gate thickness of a
transistor. When the thickness of oxide is very small there
exists a possibilty that electrons pass directly between
source and gate. This is a seond order effect and limits
the scaling down of transistor size.  |

| Answer |
In series of Inverter is placed, the charge sharing happen
between the input capacitance with the help of an load
capacitane but we cant get the desired logical output.
Remedies:
The load capacitane must be ten times greater than input
capacitance.  |
