Hack-computer

This repository contains Verilog implementation of the Hack computer (as per the specifications from the course Nand2Tetris).

The codes are organized according to the week wise tasks of the course.

Week 1

The following gates and logic blocks are designed using nand gates only:

1. Not
2. And
3. Or
4. Xor
5. Multiplexor
6. Demultiplexor
7. Multi-bit Not
8. Multi-bit And
9. Multi-bit Or
10. Multi-bit Multiplexor
11. 4-way Multiplexor
12. 8-way Multiplexor
13. 4-way Demultiplexor
14. 8-way Demultiplexor
15. 8-input Or

Week 2

The following logic blocks are designed using the blocks designed in previous week:

1. Half-adder
2. Full-adder
3. 16-bit adder
4. Incrementer
5. ALU

Week 3

The following sequential logic blocks are designed using the blocks designed in previous week:

1. D Flip-flop
2. Single bit Register
3. 16-bit Register
4. N-register memory (N is 8,64,512,4K,16K)
5. Program Counter

Week 5

In this week the actual CPU takes shape. I went for a separate controller and datapath approach. Here are the components

1. CPU_Datapath
2. CPU_FSM
3. CPU

Apart from the above modules, I implemented a ROM (as instruction memory) and RAM (as data memory) all of which are instantiated inside the top level entity called hack_computer

Testing

All the associated test modules are inside the folder testbenches

NOTE: As the memory modules are large, I am unable to synthesize them on the development platform that I am using. Hence I made another testbench (testbenches/CPU_test.v) that implements a smaller memory enough to run small programs.
