Logic IC – 8 Bit Processor, Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU)Abstract
Since its “birth” in 1971, embedded microprocessor has been widely used as a tool for technological innovations and cost reduction. Its speed and programmability are the main characteristics determining its performance.The demand for 8-bit processors nowadays is still going strong despite efforts by manufacturers in producing higher end microcontroller solutions to the mass market. Low-end processor offers a simple, low-cost and fast solution especially on I/O applications development in embedded system. In this paper we enroot to design an 8 bit microprocessor with customizable architecture.The project is the development of an 8 bit processor with the ability to customize its architecture. The project aims to build an 8 bit processor so that a user can try different architecture by arranging or connecting the building blocks in his/her own custom designs of a processor.
