Project 4:
Grading Policy and What to Include in your Report

Weight distribution:

10% Prelab
30% Hardware circuits and demo
30% Required technical items in memo
30% Memo itself
5% Neatness bonus

Penulties applicable for this and other labs include:
         -5% for not stapling your report together,
         -10% per day for lateness if not delivered to your lab instructor on due date,
         -5% for hand written sections,
         -10% for not following the proper format.
Each of the figures in the memo has to include a caption which includes the Figure number, e.g.,
"Figure 12: Photograph of Banana Electronic Employees, Jan. 2007." You will not receive the points for the figure if the caption is missing.

PRELAB:
Come to the lab with the circuit design completed on paper. The instructor will sign-off on the prelab.

DEMO:
Demonstration of your hardware circuits during your group meeting: 30%.

MEMO:
Your report should consist of the following:

a front page in the Banana Electronics memo format (refer to Preparing the Memo );
a truth table for the Full Adder (attached as Figure 1) 5%
a derivation of the minimum SOP expression for Full-Adder outputs. 5%
a schematic drawing of the Full-Adder (Figure 2) 5%
a bit-slice of adder-subtractor circuit (Figure 3) 5%
design of the 8-bit adder/subtractor (Figure 4) 5%
a timing diagram for the adder/subtractor circuit (Figure 5) 5%
Note: Since there are too many different combinations of inputs to do a timing diagram, restrict yourself to
eight combinations that you tested, including at least one with overflow.

The text of your memo should include

First Introductory Paragraph: state the task and constraints for adder/ subtractor 5%
Second Introductory Paragraph: state the task and constraints for the full-adder 5%
Analysis Paragraph: in a single paragraph, describe how you came up with the design 5%
Second Results Paragraph: present Figures 1-5 5%
Conclusions Paragraph: give a conclusion, stating whether you were successful in completing each task in both simulation and hardware 5%
