Arithmetic and Logic Unit

Akansha Singh, K B Ramesh

Abstract


This research paper explores the fundamental digital circuit known as the Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU). The ALU is an essential component of any central processing unit (CPU) and is responsible for executing arithmetic and logical instructions within a computer's architecture. The paper examines the ALU's function in detail, focusing on its ability to process data by executing mathematical and logical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, logical AND, OR, NOT, and XOR. The paper also explores analyzing the internal structure and operation of an ALU, and implementing the ALU using hardware description languages. The methodology is evaluated through the design and implementation of a basic ALU, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the methodology in achieving a deep understanding of the function and operation of an ALU.
