Each design team will write one report. Use double-spaced pages with 12 point type and organize your report exactly as follows:

1. Title Page (1 page)

Project title, design team members, brief abstract of your report.


2. Introduction (2 pages)

Overview of your project, including a discussion of the application it addresses and previous work that has been done in this area. Include references to previous designs.


3. Proposed Architecture (10 to 20 pages)

Describe your design in as much detail as possible. Start with a system block diagram and discuss the function of each of the major blocks. Include the Verilog code, synthesis reports and/or simulation results that you have obtained so far. (Note: Your code must be thoroughly explained, using separate descriptive paragraphs and with comments inserted into the code itself.) Finally, describe the interface between your chip and the external system. Include a table giving the name of each I/O pin and its function.


4. Conclusions (2 pages)

Summarize your report. Indicate the next design steps that will be taken and comment on any problems or design issues that you think will be critical for the successful completion of your project.
