Summary:
The concept of a Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) has evolved out of a desire to enhance the performance of a computer. We present here a detailed design of a Testable Reduced Instruction Set Computer (TRISC) that utilizes a Multiple Register Set. Level Sensitive Scan Design (LSSD) is used to incorporate testability into our design. We first evolved a functional description of the design using Digital Design Language (DDL) a hardware programming language. We then entered the schematic of the design into Daisy's Logician V, a CAD/CAE workstation, using NCR CMOSII Digital Standard Cell Library. We then performed a unit delay simulation on the hierarchical design database to ascertain the logical functioning of the system.
