1.1 Digital Circuits: The term digital refers to fact that the signal is limited to only a few
possible values. In general, digits signal are represented by only two possible voltage on a wire-0 volts which is called binary 0 and 5 volts which is called binary 1.we some time called these value low/high.
Boolean Values:
0 /low/false 1/high/true
Boolean Variables can assume any one of 0 or 1 value at a time. NOT Inversion
AND
Logical AND
1.2
De Morgans Theorems:
NOT(A+B) = ( NOT A) . ( NOT B) The complement of the SUM (OR) of two boolean variables is equivalent to the PRODUCT ( AND)of the complements of the two variables. NOT(A.B) = ( NOT A) + ( NOT B) The complement of the PRODUCT (AND) of two boolean variables is equivalent to the SUM(OR) of the complements of the two variables .
Examples: adder, decoder, multiplexer (mux), shifter These are combined to form larger units such as ALU

We will apply the knowledge of Boolean Algebra to realize these circuits and have example one by one.
For example to add A= 1011 and B= 0011 subscript i: Input carry: Augend: 3 0 1 2 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 Ci Ai

1.4.5 Decoder:
Is a combinational circuit that converts binary information from n input lines to a maximum of 2n unique output lines For example if the number of input is n=3 the number of output lines can be m=23 . It is also known as 1 of 8 because one output line is selected out of 8 available lines:
Decoder with enable line: Decoders usually have an enable line, If enable=0 , decoder is off. It means all output lines are zero If enable=1, decoder is on and depending on input, the corresponding output line is 1, all other lines are 0. The truth table is given below: E a2 a1 a0 D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0

1.4.6 Encoder:
Encoder is a digital circuit that performs the inverse operation of a decoder Generates a unique binary code from several input lines. Generally encoder produce 2bit, 3bit,or 4bit code. N bit encoder has 2^n input lines.
2-bit encoder: If one of the four input lines is active encoder produces the binary code corresponding to that line. If more than one of the input lines will be activated or all the output is undefined. We can consider dont care for these situations but in general we can solve this problem by using priority encoder.
1.4.7 Multiplexer:
It is a combinational circuit that selects binary information from one of the input lines and directs it to a single output line. Usually there are 2n input lines and n selection lines whose bit combinations determine which input line is selected. For example for 2-to-1 multiplexer if selection S is zero then I0 has the path to output and if S is one I1 has the path to output.

2-to-1 multiplexer:
1.4.8 Demultiplexer:

Introduction of VLSI
VLSI
Very-large-scale integration:2.1 Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) 2.1 Very Large Scale Integration(VLSI) is the process of creating integrated circuits by combining thousand of transistors based circuits into a single chip. VLSI began in the 1970s .When complex semiconductor and communication technologies were being developed. The Microprocessor is a VLSI device. he term is no longer as common as it once was, as chips Have increased in complexity into the hundreds of millions of transistors. The first semiconductors chips held one transistor each. Subsequent advances added more and more transistors, and as a consequence, more individual function or system was integrated over time. The first integrated circuits held only a few devices, perhaps as many as ten diodes, transistors, resistors and capacitor, making it possible to fabricate one or more logic gates on a single device. Now known retrospectively as small-scale integration(SSI),Improvement in techniques led to device with hundreds of logic gates, known as large scale integration(LSI),i.e. system at least a thousand logic gates. Current technology has moved far past this mark and todays microprocessors have many millions of gates and hundreds of millions of individual transistors.

2.3.1 CPLD stands for Complex Programmable Logic Device. It is a programmable logic device with complexity between that of FPGAs and PALs, and architectural features from both. The building block of a CPLD is the macro cell, which contains logic implementing disjunctive normal form expressions and more specialized logic operations.
2.3.2 Features in common with with PALs Non-volatile configuration memory. Unlike many FPGAs an external configuration ROM isnt required, and the CPLD can function immediately on system start-up. For all but the largest devices, routing constrains most logic blocks to have input and output signals connected to external pins (little opportunity for internal state storage or deeply layered logic). 2.3.3 Features in common with FPGAs: Large number of gates available. CPLDs typically have the equivalent of thousand to tens of thousand of logic gates, allowing implementation of moderately complicated data processing
21
device. PALs typically have a few hundered gates equivalent at most, while FPGA typically range from tens of thousand to several millions. Some provisions for logic, more flexible than some of product expressions, including complicated feedback paths between macro cells, and specialized logic for implementing various commonly used functions such as integer arithmetic. The most noticeable difference between large CPLD and a small FPGA is the presence of onchip non-volatile memory in the CPLD. The differences in architectural approach become more apparent further from this intermediate region. This characteristic of non-volatility means that CPLDs are often used in modern digital design to perform boot loader functions before handling over control to other devices not having this capability. A good example is where a CPLD is used to load configuration data for an FPGA from non-volatile memory. CPLDs were an evolutionary step from even smaller devices that preceded them, PLAs and PALs. As FPGAs became more advanced the differences between the two devices types become blurred. This trend will continue until the two types are essentially indistinguishable. 2.3.4 Field programmable gate array: A field programmable gate array(FPGA) is a semiconductor device containing programmable logic components and programmable interconnects. The programmable logic components can be programmed to duplicate the functionality of basic logic gates such as And, or, not, Xor or more complex combiunational functions such as decoder or simple maths functions. In most FPGAs, these programmable logic components also include memory elements, which may be simple flipflops or more comple blocks of memories. A hierarchy of programmable interconnects allow the logic blocks of an FPGA to be interconnect as needed by the system designer, somewhat like a one-chip programmable bread board. These logic blocks and interconnects can be programmed after the manufacturing process by the customer/designer so that FPGA can perform whatever logical function is needed. FPGAs are generally slower than their application specific integrated circuits (ASIC)

Introduction of VHDL
3.1 Hardware description language
In electronics, a hardware description language or HDL is any language from a class of computer languages and/or programming languages for formal description of electronic circuits. It can describe the circuit's operation, its design and organization, and tests to verify its operation by means of simulation. The two most widely-used and well-supported HDL varieties used in industry are: * VHDL * Verilog VHDL (VHSIC hardware description language) is a Hardware Description Language (HDL). This Hardware Description Language is a language used to describe a digital system, for example, a computer or a component of a computer. One may describe a digital system at several levels. For example, an HDL might describe the layout of the wires, resistors and transistors on an Integrated Circuit (IC) chip, i. e., the switch level. Or, it might describe the logical gates and flip flops in a digital system, i. e., the gate level.
WHAT IS VHDL
VHDL is one of the two major Hardware Description Languages (HDL) used by hardware designers in industry and academia. Verilog is the other one. The industry is currently split on which is better. Many feel that VHDL is easier to learn and use than Verilog. VHDL was made an IEEE Standard in 1987 and Verilog in 1985.
31
VHDL allows a hardware designer to describe designs at a high level of abstraction such as at the architectural or behavioral level as well as the lower implementation levels (i. e. , gate and switch levels) leading to Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Integrated Circuits (IC) layouts and chip fabrication. A primary use of HDLs is the simulation of designs before the designer must commit to fabrication.
Digital systems are highly complex. At their most detailed level, they may consist of millions of elements, i.e., transistors or logic gates. Therefore, for large digital systems, gate-level design is dead. For many decades, logic schematics served as the lingua franca of logic design, but not any more. Today, hardware complexity has grown to such a degree that a schematic with logic gates is almost useless as it shows only a web of connectivity and not the functionality of design. Since the 1970s, Computer engineers and electrical engineers have moved toward hardware description languages (HDLs). The most prominent modern HDLs in industry are Verilog and VHDL. The VHDL language provides the digital designer with a means of describing a digital system at a wide range of levels of abstraction, and, at the same time, provides access to computer-aided design tools to aid in the design process at these levels. VHDL allows hardware designers to express their design with behavioral constructs, deterring the details of implementation to a later stage of design in the design. An abstract representation helps the designer explore architectural alternatives through simulations and to detect design bottlenecks before detailed design begins.
declaration and an architecture body. One can consider the entity declaration as the interface to the outside world that defines the input and output signals, while the architecture body contains the description of the entity and is composed of interconnected entities, processes and components, all operating concurrently, as schematically shown in Figure below. In a typical design there will be many such entities connected together to perform the desired function.
A VHDL entity consisting of an interface (entity declaration) and a body (architectural description). VHDL uses reserved keywords that cannot be used as signal names or identifiers. Keywords and user-defined identifiers are case insensitive. Lines with comments start with two adjacent hyphens (--) and will be ignored by the compiler. VHDL also ignores line breaks and extra spaces. VHDL is a strongly typed language which implies that one has always to declare the type of every object that can have a value, such as signals, constants and variable. a. Entity Declaration The entity declaration defines the NAME of the entity and lists the input and output ports. The general form is as follows, entity NAME_OF_ENTITY is [ generic generic_declarations);] port (signal_names: mode type;
33
An entity always starts with the keyword entity, followed by its name and the keyword is. Next are the port declarations using the keyword port. An entity declaration always ends with the keyword end, optionally [] followed by the name of the entity.
b.
Architecture body
The architecture body specifies how the circuit operates and how it is implemented. The architecture body looks as follows, architecture architecture_name of NAME_OF_ENTITY is -- Declarations -- components declarations -- signal declarations -- constant declarations -- function declarations -- procedure declarations -- type declarations begin -- Statements; end architecture_name; c. Library and Packages: library and use keywords
34
A library can be considered as a place where the compiler stores information about a design project. A VHDL package is a file or module that contains declarations of commonly used objects, data type, component declarations, signal, procedures and functions that can be shared among different VHDL models.
3.4 DESIGN FLOW: We start the design by writing the VHDL code, which is saved in a file
with the extension .vhd and the same name as its ENTITYs name. the first step in the synthesis process is compilation. Compilation is the conversion of high level VHDL language, which describes the circuit at the Register Transfer level(RTL), into a netlist at gate level. The second step is optimization, which is performed on the gate level netlist for speed or area. At this stage, the design can be simulated. Finally a place and route(filter) software will generate the physical layout for a PLD/FGPA chip or will generate the masks for an ASIC.

4.3 Data Objects: Signals, Variables and Constant 4..3.1 Constant A constant can have a single value of a given type and cannot be changed during the simulation. A constant is declared as follows, constant list_of_name_of_constant: type [ := initial value]; 4.3.2 Variable A variable can have a single value, as with a constant, but a variable can be updated using a variable assignment statement. Variables must be declared inside a process (and are local to the process). The variable declaration is as follows: variable list_of_variable_names: type [ := initial value] ;
4.3.3 Signal Signals are declared outside the process using the following statement: signal list_of_signal_names: type [ := initial value] ; 4.4 Data types Each data object has a type associated with it. The type defines the set of values that the object can have and the set of operations that are allowed on it. The notion of type is key to VHDL since it is a strongly typed language that requires each object to be of a certain type. In general one is not allowed to assign a value of one type to an object of another data type (e.g. assigning an integer to a bit type is not allowed). 4.4.1 Data Types defined in the Standard Package VHDL has several predefined types in the standard package as shown in the table below. To use this package one has to include the following clause: library std, work;
37
use std.standard.all; example:bit,integer,etc. 4.4.2 User-defined Types One can introduce new types by using the type declaration, which names the type and specifies its value range. The syntax is type identifier is type_definition; Here are a few examples of type definitions, Integer types type small_int is range 0 to 1024; type my_word_length is range 31 downto 0; subtype data_word is my_word_length range 7 downto 0;
4.4.3 Enumerated Types An enumerated type consists of lists of character literals or identifiers. The enumerated type can be very handy when writing models at an abstract level. The syntax for an enumerated type is, type type_name is (identifier list or character literal); Here are some examples, type my_3values is (0, 1, Z); type PC_OPER is (load, store, add, sub, div, mult, shiftl, shiftr); type hex_digit is (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F); type state_type is (S0, S1, S2, S3);
38
4.5 Attributes: Attributes are used to return various types of information about a signal, variable or type.Attributes consist of a quote mark () followed by the name of the attribute. 4.5(1) Signal attributes The following table gives several signal attributes.
Attribute signal_nameevent
Function returns the Boolean value True if an event on the signal occurred, otherwise gives a False
signal_nameactive
returns the Boolean value True there has been a transaction (assignment) on the signal, otherwise gives a False
signal_nametransaction
returns a signal of the type bit that toggles (0 to 1 or 1 to 0) every time there is a transaction on the signal.
signal_namelast_event
returns the time interval since the last event on the signal
signal_namelast_active
returns the time interval since the last transaction on the signal
signal_namelast_value
gives the value of the signal before the last event occurred on the signal
signal_namedelayed(T)
gives a signal that is the delayed version (by time T) of the original one. [T is optional, default T=0]
39
signal_namestable(T)
returns a Boolean value, True, if no event has occurred on the signal during the interval T, otherwise returns a False. [T is optional, default T=0]
signal_namequiet(T)
returns a Boolean value, True, if no transaction has occurred on the signal during the interval T, otherwise returns a False. [T is optional, default T=0]
4.5.2 Scalar attributes Several attributes of a scalar type, scalar-type, are supported. The following table shows some of these attributes.

4.6.1 Logic operators The logic operators (and, or, nand, nor, xor and xnor) are used to define Boolean logic expression or to perform bit-per-bit operations on arrays of bits. They give a result of the same type as the operand (Bit or Boolean). These operators can be applied to signals, variables and constants. 4.6.2 Relational operators
41
The relational operators test the relative values of two scalar types and give as result a Boolean output of TRUE or FALSE.

The operand is on the left of the operator and the number (integer) of shifts is on the right side of the operator. As an example, variable NUM1 NUM1 srl 2; will result in the number 00100101. When a negative integer is given, the opposite action occurs, i.e. a shift to the left will be a shift to the right. As an example NUM1 srl 2 would be equivalent to NUM1 sll 2 and give the result 01011000. Other examples of shift operations are for the bit_vector A = 101001 :bit_vector := 10010110;

variable A: bit_vector :=101001; A sll 2 results in A srl 2 001010 A sla 2 100111 A sra 2 111010 A rol 2 100110 A ror 2 011010 4.6.4 Addition operators The addition operators are used to perform arithmetic operation (addition and subtraction) on operands of any numeric type. The concatenation (&) operator is used to concatenate two vectors together to make a longer one. In order to use these operators one has to specify the ieee.std_logic_unsigned.all or std_logic_arith package package in addition to the ieee.std_logic_1164 package. results in results in results in results in 100100

Statements
5.1 Behavioral Modeling: Sequential Statements
5.1.1 Process :A process statement is the main construct in behavioral modeling that allows you to use sequential statements to describe the behavior of a system over time. The syntax for a process statement is [process_label:] process [ (sensitivity_list) ] [is] [ process_declarations] begin list of sequential statements such as: signal assignments variable assignments case statement if statement procedure call wait statement end process [process_label]; 5.1.2 If Statements:The if statement executes a sequence of statements whose sequence depends on one or more conditions. The syntax is as follows: if condition then
48
sequential statements [elsif condition then sequential statements ] [else sequential statements ] end if; Each condition is a Boolean expression. The if statement is performed by checking each condition in the order they are presented until a true is found. Nesting of if statements is allowed. 5.1.3 Case statements:The case statement executes one of several sequences of statements, based on the value of a single expression. The syntax is as follows, case expression is when choices => sequential statements when choices => sequential statements -- branches are allowed [ when others => sequential statements ] end case; 5.1.4 Loop statements:A loop statement is used to repeatedly execute a sequence of sequential statements. The syntax for a loop is as follows: [ loop_label :]iteration_scheme loop
49
sequential statements [next [label] [when condition]; [exit [label] [when condition]; end loop [loop_label]; 5.1.5 While-Loop statement:The while loop evaluates a Boolean iteration condition. When the condition is TRUE, the loop repeats, otherwise the loop is skipped and the execution will halt. The syntax for the whileloop is as follows, while condition loop sequential statements end loop[ loop_label ]; The condition of the loop is tested before each iteration, including the first iteration. If it is false, the loop is terminated. 5.1.6 For-Loop statement: The for-loop uses an integer iteration scheme that determines the number of iterations. The syntax is as follows, for identifier in range loop sequential statements end loop[ loop_label ]; 5.1.7 Next and Exit Statement:The next statement skips execution to the next iteration of a loop statement and proceeds with the next iteration. The syntax is next [label] [when condition]; The when keyword is optional and will execute the next statement when its condition evaluates to the Boolean value TRUE.
50
The exit statement skips the rest of the statements, terminating the loop entirely, and continues with the next statement after the exited loop. The syntax is as follows: exit [label] [when condition]; The when keyword is optional and will execute the next statement when its condition evaluates to the Boolean value TRUE. Notice that the difference between the next and exit statement, is that the exit statement terminates the loop. 5.1.8 Wait statement:The wait statement will halt a process until an event occurs. There are several forms of the wait statement, wait until condition; wait for time expression; wait on signal; wait; A few examples :-wait until CLK=1; wait until CLK=0; wait until CLKevent and CLK=1; wait until not CLKstable and CLK=1; 5.1.9 Null statement:The null statement states that no action will occur. The syntax is as follows, null; It can be useful in a case statement where all choices must be covered, even if some of them can be ignored. As an example, consider a control signal CNTL in the range 0 to 31. When
51
the value of CNTL is 3 or 15, the signals A and B will be xor-ed, otherwise nothing will occur. entity EX_WAIT is port ( CNTL: in integer range 0 to 31; A, B: in std_logic_vector(7 downto 0); Z: out std_logic_vector(7 downto 0) ); end EX_WAIT; architecture arch_wait of EX_WAIT is begin P_WAIT: process (CNTL) begin Z <=A; case CNTL is when 3 | 15 => Z <= A xor B; when others => null; end case; end process P_WAIT; end arch_wait;
52
expression; The target signal will receive the value of the first expression whose Boolean condition is TRUE. If no condition is found to be TRUE, the target signal will receive the value of the final expression. If more than one condition is true, the value of the first condition that is TRUE will be assigned.
53
5.2.3 Selected Signal assignments:The selected signal assignment is similar to the conditional one described above. The syntax is as follows, with choice_expression select target_name <= expression when choices, target_name <= expression when choices, : target_name <= expression when choices; An example of a 4-to-1 multiplexer is given below. entity MUX_4_1_Conc2 is port (A, B, C, D: in std_logic; SEL: in std_logic_vector(1 downto 0);
Z: out std_logic) end MUX_4_1_Conc2; architecture concurr_MUX41b of MUX_4_1_Conc2 is begin with SEL select Z <= A when 00, B when 01, C when 10, D when 11; end concurr_MUX41b;
54

5.3.1 Component declaration:Before components can be instantiated they need to be declared in the architecture declaration section or in the package declaration. The component declaration consists of the component name and the interface (ports). The syntax is as follows: component component_name [is] [port (port_signal_names: mode type; port_signal_names: mode type);] end component [component_name]; A few examples of component declaration follow: component OR2 port (in1, in2: in std_logic; out1: out std_logic); end component; component PROC port (CLK, RST, RW, STP: in std_logic; ADDRBUS: out std_logic_vector (31 downto 0); DATA: inout integer range 0 to 1024); component FULLADDER port(a, b, c: in std_logic; sum, carry: out std_logic); end component;

7.1 Relay
A relay is an electrical switch that opens and closes under the control of another electrical circuit. In the original form, the switch is operated by an electromagnet to open or close one or many sets of contacts. It was invented by Joseph Henry in 1835. Because a relay is able to control an output circuit of higher power than the input circuit, it can be considered to be, in a broad sense, a form of an electrical amplifier.To off dc to ac we use relay,having 5 pins.eg TV works on 220v and remote works on 5v.If we have to on/off the TV then it is done by Relay.because 5v cant be compare with 220v. Operation When there is a current through the coil, the resulting magnetic field attracts an armature that is mechanically linked to a moving contact. The movement either makes or breaks a connection with a fixed contact. When the current to the coil is switched off, the armature is returned by a force approximately but gravity is also used commonly in industrial motor starters. Most relays are manufactured to operate quickly. In a low voltage application, this is to reduce noise. In a high voltage or high current application, this is to reduce arcing. If the coil is energized with DC, a diode is frequently installed across the coil, to dissipate the energy from the collapsing magnetic field at deactivation, which would otherwise generate a spike of voltage and might cause damage to circuit components. Some automotive relays already include that diode inside the relay case. Alternatively a contact protection network, consisting of a capacitor and resistor in series, may absorb the surge. If the coil is designed to be energized with AC, a small copper ring can be crimped to the end of the solenoid. This "shading ring" creates a small out-of-phase current, which increases the minimum pull on the armature during the AC cycle.
63
By analogy with the functions of the original electromagnetic device, a solid-state relay is made with a thyristor or other solid-state switching device. To achieve electrical isolation an optocoupler can be used which is a light-emitting diode (LED) coupled with a photo transistor.
Since relays are switches, the terminology applied to switches is also applied to relays. A relay will switch one or more poles, each of whose contacts can be thrown by energizing the coil in one of three ways:
Normally-open (NO) contacts connect the circuit when the relay is activated; the circuit is disconnected when the relay is inactive. It is also called a Form A contact or "make" contact.
Normally-closed (NC) contacts disconnect the circuit when the relay is activated; the circuit is connected when the relay is inactive. It is also called a Form B contact or "break" contact.
Change-over (CO), or double-throw (DT), contacts control two circuits: one normallyopen contact and one normally-closed contact with a common terminal. It is also called a Form C contact or "transfer" contact ("break before make"). If this type of contact utilizes a "make before break" functionality, then it is called a Form D contact.
64
to control a high-voltage circuit with a low-voltage signal, as in some types of modems or audio amplifiers,
to control a high-current circuit with a low-current signal, as in the starter solenoid of an automobile,
to detect and isolate faults on transmission and distribution lines by opening and closing circuit breakers (protection relays). We cant use FPGA direct to relay because back current flow which damage FPGA. To overcome this we use Optocoupler(IC) in between relay and FPGA.
7.2 Optocoupler:
Optocoupler is used to direct the current in inward directions In electronics, an opto-coupler (or optical isolator, optocoupler, photocoupler, or
photoMOS) is a device that uses a short optical transmission path to transfer a signal between elements of a circuit, typically a transmitter and a receiver, while keeping them electrically isolated since the signal goes from an electrical signal to an optical signal back to an electrical signal, electrical contact along the path is broken.
65
A common implementation involves a LED and a phototransistor, separated so that light may travel across a barrier but electrical current may not. When an electrical signal is applied to the input of the opto-isolator, its LED lights, its light sensor then activates, and a corresponding electrical signal is generated at the output. Unlike a transformer, the optoisolator allows for DC coupling and generally provides significant protection from serious overvoltage conditions in one circuit affecting the other. With a photodiode as the detector, the output current is proportional to the amount of incident light supplied by the emitter. The diode can be used in a photovoltaic mode or a photoconductive mode. In photovoltaic mode, the diode acts like a current source in parallel with a forward-biased diode. The output current and voltage are dependent on the load impedance and light intensity. In photoconductive mode, the diode is connected to a supply voltage, and the magnitude of the current conducted is directly proportional to the intensity of light. An opto-isolator can also be constructed using a small incandescent lamp in place of the LED; such a device, because the lamp has a much slower response time than a LED, will filter out noise or half-wave power in the input signal. In so doing, it will also filter out any audio- or higher-frequency signals in the input. It has the further disadvantage, of course, (an overwhelming disadvantage in most applications) that incandescent lamps have relatively short life spans. Thus, such an unconventional device is of extremely limited usefulness, suitable only for applications such as science projects. The optical path may be air or a dielectric waveguide. The transmitting and receiving elements of an optical isolator may be contained within a single compact module, for
66
mounting, for example, on a circuit board; in this case, the module is often called an optoisolator or opto-isolator. The photosensor may be a photocell, phototransistor, or an optically triggered SCR or TRIAC. Occasionally, this device will in turn operate a power relay or contactor. For analog isolation, special "analog" optoisolators are used. These devices have two independent, closely matched phototransistors, one of which is typically used to linearize the response using negative feedback.

A simple circuit with an opto-isolator. When switch S1 is closed, LED D1 lights, which triggers phototransistor Q1, which pulls the output pin low. This circuit, thus, acts as a NOT gate.

PCB DESIGNING
9.1 PCB
PCB stands for PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD. The PCB manufacturing process is very important for anyone involved in the electronics industry. Printed circuit boards are very widely used as the basis for electronic circuits. Printed circuit board (PCB) provides both the physical structure for mounting and holding the components as well as the electrical interconnection between the components using conductive pathways, tracks or signal traces etched from copper sheets laminated onto a nonconductive substrate. It is also referred to as printed wiring board (PWB) or etched wiring board. A PCB populated with electronic components is a printed circuit assembly (PCA), also known as a printed circuit board assembly(PCBA). This assembly is the basic building block for all the electronic appliances such as television, computer and other goods.
The printed circuit boards consists of an insulating substrates metallic circuit photo chemically formed upon that substrate. Inter-connection between components is achieved by means of conductivity paths running on or through the substrate called TRACK. Track meet components to which they are to be connected by means of larger conductor area called a LAND or PAD. The electrical connection between a land components terminal is achieved by means of a solder.
3) Multilayer
Single sided PCBs: - As the name suggest in these designs the conductive pattern is only at in
one side. And also the size is large in these case but these are cheap.
Double sided PCBs: - These are the PCBs on which the conductive pattern is in on both sides.
The size of board is small in this case but it is costlier than single sided PCBs.
Multilayer PCBs: - In this case the board consists of alternating layers of conducting pattern
and insulating material. The conductive material is connected across the layers through plated through holes. The size of this PCB is smaller than that of double sided PCB but it is very costly.

CAPTURE: Capture is used to drawn a circuit on the screen, known formally as schematic capture. It
offers great flexibility compared with a traditional pencil and paper drawing, as design changes can be incorporated and errors corrected quickly and easily.CAPTURE stores all of a designs schematics, schematic pages and parts in a single file. This makes it easy to handle designs. Schematic diagram provides the functional flow and the graphical representation of an electronic circuit. The entry of schematic diagram is the first step in PCB design using OrCad.
Discrete components symbols like resistors, capacitors etc. Input / output connectors Power and ground symbols Buses No connection symbols Components reference names Text The Schematic Page Editor:
The schematic page editor is used to display and edit schematic pages. So that one can parts; wires; buses and draw graphics. The schematic page editor has a tool palette that you can use to draw and place everything you need to create a schematic page. One can print from within the schematic page editor, or from the project window.
75
The session log lists the events that have occurred during the current Capture session, includes message resulting from using captures tools. To display context-sensitive help for an error message, put the cursor in the error message line in the session log press F1. The ruler along the top appears in either inches or mill meters, depending on which measurement system is selected in the window panel. Your tab setting are saved and used each time you start capture.
76
One can search for information in the session log using the find command on the Edit menu. You can also save the contents of the of the session log to a file, which is useful when working with Orcads technical support to solve technical problems. The default filename is SESSION.TXT.
The Toolbar:
Captures toolbar is dock able (that means you can select and drag the toolbar to new location) as well as resizable, and displays tool tips for each tool; by choosing a tool button you can quickly perform a task. If tool button is dimmed, you cant perform that task in the current situation.
77
78
Some of the tools operate only on what you have selected, while others give you a choice of either operating on what is selected or expanding the scope to entire project.

LAYOUT PLUS
OrCAD Layout is a powerful printed circuit board layout tool that is a part of a full line of design and simulation tools available from OrCAD. OrCAD Layout makes it easy to place, route and prepare printed circuit boards for fabrication. In Layout we place as well as route the components and set unit of measurement, grids, and spacing in OrCad. For the placement and routing of the components auto-placement and auto-routing options are also available. In layout plus we also define the layer stacks, pad stacks and via's.
A template (.TPL) file describes the characteristics of a physical board. A template can include information, such as the board outline, the design origin, the layer definitions, grid settings, spacing rules, and default track widths.
83
Technology file:
A technology file (.TCH) can be considered as a subset of the template files. This is because technology files contain information, such as default line width, spacing, grid settings, layer definitions, and via padstacks, but they do not provide any information regarding physical characteristics of a board.
MNL file:
A Layout netlist file (.MNL) describes the parts and interconnections in a schematic. Steps for board design: At first, we have created a net list from our schematic diagram by using capture.
Layout plus includes design rules in order to guide logical placement and routing. That
means, load the net list into layout to create the board. At the same time you have to specify the board parameters.
Specify board parameters: Specifying global setting for the board, including nits of
measurements, grid, and spacing
Place components: Use the components tool in order to place manually the
components which are fixed by the system designer on the board or otherwise use auto-placement.
Route the board: Use different routing technologies to route the board and take
advantage of push and shove (a routing technology), which moves track you are currently routing as well as you can also auto route the board.
The design window provides a graphical display of printed circuit board, it is primary window you use when designing your board. It also provides tools to facilitate the design process such as to update components and design rule violation.
84
Method to create a board with Layout Plus: Ensure that net list with all footprints and necessary information has been created.
Create a directory in which the schematic design, net list, and boar will co-exit and put
the schematic design and net list. OrCad provides a directory for this purpose.
From the layout session frames file menu, choose New. The load template file in the
dialog box displayed.
85
Select the technology template (.TCH), then choose the open button and load the net list in other box. Then apply the auto ECO. If necessary, respond to link footprints to component dialog. Draw the board outline by using the obstacle tool in the tool bar.
Setting board parameters: There is some parameter which should be set before placing the components on board. They are as follows:-
Set Datum Create a board outline Set units of measurements Set system grid Add mount holes
Creating of board outline: Board outline is the graphical representation of the size of the actual PCB board. So it is the main step in layout, to draw the board outline of the actual size of PCB board. Placement of components:
Placement of components means that to place the components in designed box. A designer should follow the following steps before going for it:-
Optimize the board for component placement. Load the placement strategy file. Place components on the board. Optimize placement using various placements
1) Manual placement of components 2) Auto placement of components Choose the components tool bar button. From the pop up men, choose the queue for placement. The components selection criteria dialog box appears. Enter the reference
86
designator of the components that you want to place in the appropriate text box, and click ok. Drag the components to desired location, place it there.
Conductor Routing in Layout:-
After placing all the components the other main step is to route the board from the electrical connections between the components. One may route board manually or automatically by auto router. 100% auto routing can be achieved only when components are placed in the order of functional flow of electronic circuit. The main routing tool available in OrCad is as flow:-
In manual designs every thing was checked as a possible source of error. Components sizes, hole sizes, conductor widths and clearance, land-to-hole-ratio, board areas to be free of components, clearance to the edges, positional accuracy and of course electrical interconnections had tad to be personally reviewed with a great deal of care. After completing the design of printed circuit board with the help of an EDA-Tool, a designer has again to verify the PCB in order to find out errors. Such type of verifications/design rule check contains beside the general verifications commonly two types:Physical verification Electrical verification

Wireless
10.1 Introduction Wireless communic action is a rapidly growing segment of the communic action industry,with the potential to provide high speed high quality information exchange between portable devices located anywhere in the world. Wireless telecommunications is the transfer of information between two or more points that are not physically connected. Distances can be short, such as a few meters for television remote control, or as far as thousands or even millions of kilometers for deep-space radio communications. Wireless operations permits services, such as long range communications, that are impossible or impractical to implement with the use of wires. The term is commonly used in the telecommunications industry to refer to telecommunications systems (e.g. radio transmitters and receivers, remote controls, computer networks, network terminals, etc.) which use some form of energy (e.g. radio frequency (RF),acoustic energy, etc.) to transfer information without the use of wires.[1] Information is transferred in this manner over both short and long distances.The various techniques of wireless communication are: Bluetooth-transfer of data having range 10 meter Zigbee- advancement of bluetooth having range 100 meter.In Zigbee we can connect 128 devices for transmission of data at a time. GPS-Globle Position of Settelite.to tell the position. RFID-Radio Freequency Identification
10.2 RFID The acronym refer to small electronic device that consist of small chip and antenna.The chip typically is capable of carrying 2000 bytes of data or less. RFID is the reading of physical tags on single products, cases, pallets, or re-usable containers that emit radio signals to be
88
picked up by reader devices. These devices and software must be supported by a sophisticated software architecture that enables the collection and distribution of locationbased information in near real time. The complete RFID picture combines the technology of the tags and readers with access to global standardized databases, ensuring real time access to up-to-date information about relevant products at any point in the supply chain. A key component to this RFID vision is the EPC Global Network. Tags contain a unique identification number called an Electronic Product Code (EPC), and potentially additional information of interest to manufacturers, healthcare organizations, military organizations, logistics providers, and retailers, or others that need to track the physical location of goods or equipment. All information stored on RFID tags accompanies items as they travel through a supply chain or other business process. All information on RFID tags, such as product attributes, physical dimensions, prices, or laundering requirements, can be scanned wirelessly by a reader at high speed and from a distance of several meters.
10.2.1 Tag or TransponderAn RFID tag is a tiny radio device that is also referred to as a transponder, smart tag, smart label, or radio barcode. The tag comprises a simple silicon microchip (typically less than half a millimeter in size) attached to a small flat aerial and mounted on a substrate. The whole device can then be encapsulated in different materials (such as plastic) dependent upon its intended usage. The finished tag can be attached to an object, typically an item, box, or pallet, and read remotely to ascertain its identity, position, or state. For an active tag there will also be a battery.
There are two types of Tag: Active Passive In Active,having power supply on tag.and it continuously transmit the data. In Passive,doesnt having power supply and it transmit data when it is in readers range.eg metro station. In tag there is silicon chip and antenna.silicon chip contain unique ID no.And antenna transmit when transmission occur. 10.2.2 Reader or InterrogatorThe readersometimes called an interrogator or scanner sends and receives RF data to and from the tag via antennas. A reader may have multiple antennas that are responsible for sending and receiving radio waves. It is also known as Base station.
10.3 GSM
The Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) is an ETSI (European Telecommunication Standard Institute) standard for 2G pan European digital cellular with
90
international roaming. The main purpose of the group was to develop a 2G standard to resolve the roaming problem in the six existing different 1G analog systems in Europe. In 1986, the task force was formed, and in 1987 a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed. In 1989, ETSI included GSM in its domain. In 1991, the specification of the standard was completed, and in 1992, the first deployment started. By the year 1993, thirty two operators in 22 countries adopted the GSM standard, and by 2001, close to 150 countries had adopted GSM for cellular adaptation. 10.3.1 Frequency Bands This GSM system is a frequency and time division system. Each physical channel is characterized by a carrier frequency and a time slot number. GSM system frequencies include two bands at 900 MHZ and 1800 MHz commonly referred to as the GSM 900 and DCS 1800 systems. For the primary band in the GSM 900 system, 124 radio carriers have been defined and assigned in two sub-bands of 25 MHz each in the 890 915 MHz and 935-960 MHz ranges with channel width of 200 kHz (these sub-bands are always referred as downlink as well as uplink respectively, we will see this concept in detailed in channel concepts later in this module). Each carrier (a total channel width of 200 KHz) is divided into frames of 8 time slots. For DCS 1800, there are two sub bands of 75 MHz in the 1710 1785 MHz and 1805 1880 MHz ranges 10.3.3 GSM Services To study any system, it is very important to know the services, which the system supports or provides. Analog cellular systems were developed for a single application that is voice and in a manner similar to analog access to PSTN, other data services such as fax and voice-band modems were defined as overlay services on top of the analog voice service. GSM is an integrated voice-data service that provides a number of services beyond cellular telephone. These services are divided into three major categories. They are Teleservices, Bearer services and supplementary services. 10.3.4 Features of GSM 1. The GSM system provides a greater subscriber capacity than analogue systems. 2. GSM allows 25 kHz per user, that is, eight conversations per 200 kHz channel pair (a pair comprising one transmit channel and one receive channel).
91
3.Digital channel coding and the modulation used makes the signal resistant to interference from cells where the same frequencies are re-used (co-channel interference); a Carrier to Interference Ratio (C/I) level of 12 dB is achieved, as opposed to the 18 dB typical with analogue cellular. 4. This allows increased geographic reuse by permitting a reduction in the number of cells in the reuse pattern.
10.4 Blutooth
Bluetooth is a proprietary open wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using short wavelength radio transmissions in the ISM band from 24002480 MHz) from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area networks (PANs) with high levels of security. Created by telecoms vendor Ericsson in 1994. It was originally conceived as a wireless alternative to RS-232 data cables. It can connect several devices, overcoming problems of synchronization. Bluetooth is managed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, which has more than 15,000 member companies in the areas of telecommunication, computing, networking, and consumer electronics.[2] The SIG oversees the development of the specification, manages the qualification program, and protects the trademarks.[3] To be marketed as a Bluetooth device, it must be qualified to standards defined by the SIG. A network of patents is required to implement the technology and are only licensed to those qualifying devices; thus the protocol, whilst open, may be regarded as proprietary.

10.5 Zigbee
ZigBee is a specification for a suite of high level communication protocols using small, lowpower digital radios based on an IEEE 802 standard for personal area networks. Applications
92
include wireless light switches, electrical meters with in-home-displays, and other consumer and industrial equipment that requires short-range wireless transfer of data at relatively low rates. The technology defined by the ZigBee specification is intended to be simpler and less expensive than other WPANs, such as Bluetooth. ZigBee is targeted at radio-frequency (RF) applications that require a low data rate, long battery life, and secure networking. ZigBee has a defined rate of 250 kbps best suited for periodic or intermittent data or a single signal transmission from a sensor or input device.

Major Project
AUTOMATIC TOLL PLAZA SYSTEM
94
Aim
Electronic toll collection (ETC), an adaptation of military "identification friend or foe" technology, aims to eliminate the delay on toll roads by collecting tolls electronically. It is thus a technological implementation of a road pricing concept. It determines whether the cars passing are enrolled in the program, alerts enforcers for those that are not, and electronically debits the accounts of registered car owners without requiring them to stop.The major advantage of this is that users are able to drive through the toll plaza at highway speed without having to slow down to pay the toll.
Introduction
In 1959, Nobel Economics Prize winner William Vickrey was the first to propose a system of electronic tolling for the Washington metropolitan area. He proposed that each car would be equipped with a transponder. The transponders personalised signal would be picked up when the car passed through an intersection, and then relayed to a central computer which would calculate the charge according to the intersection and the time of day and add it to the cars bill. In the 1960s and 1970s, free flow tolling was tested with fixed transponders at the undersides of the vehicles and readers, which were located under the surface of the highway. Norway has been the world's pioneer in the widespread implementation of this technology. ETC was first introduced in Bergen, in 1986, operating together with traditional tollbooths. In 1991, Trondheim introduced the world's first use of completely unaided full-speed electronic tolling. Norway now has 25 toll roads operating with electronic fee collection (EFC), as the Norwegian technology is called (see AutoPASS). In 1995, Portugal became the first country to apply a single, universal system to all tolls in the country, the Via Verde, which can also be used in parking lots and gas stations. The United States is another country with widespread use of ETC in several states, though many U.S. toll roads maintain the option of manual
95
collection.
On an open toll system, all vehicles stop at various locations along the highway to pay a toll. While this may save money from the lack of need to construct toll booths at every exit, it can cause traffic congestion while traffic queues at the mainline toll plazas (toll barriers). It is also possible for motorists to enter an 'open toll road' after one toll barrier and exit before the next one, thus travelling on the toll road toll-free. Most open toll roads have ramp tolls or partial access junctions to prevent this practice, known as "shunpiking". With a closed system, vehicles collect a ticket when entering the highway. In some cases, the ticket displays the toll to be paid on exit. Upon exit, the driver must pay the amount listed for the given exit. Should the ticket be lost, a driver must typically pay the maximum amount possible for travel on that highway. Short toll roads with no intermediate entries or exits may have only one toll plaza at one end, with motorists traveling in either direction paying a flat fee either when they enter or when they exit the toll road. In a variant of the closed toll system, mainline barriers are present at the two endpoints of the toll road, and each interchange has a ramp toll that is paid upon exit or entry. In this case, a motorist pays a flat fee at the ramp toll and another flat fee at the end of the toll road; no ticket is necessary. In addition, with most systems, motorists may only pay tolls with cash and/or change; debit and credit cards are not accepted. However, some toll roads may have travel plazas with ATMs so motorists can stop and withdraw cash for the tolls. Toll roads have been criticized as being inefficient in various ways:
96
1. They require vehicles to stop or slow down, manual toll collection wastes time and raises vehicle operating costs. 2. Collection costs can absorb up to one-third of revenues, and revenue theft is considered to be comparatively easy. 3. Where the tolled roads are less congested than the parallel "free" roads, the traffic diversion resulting from the tolls increases congestion on the road system and reduces its usefulness. 4. By tracking the vehicle locations, their drivers are subject to an effectual restriction of their freedom of movem ent and freedom from excessive surveillance. Hence to overcome this i made project based on RFID.

The antenna emits radio signals to activate the tag and to read and write data to it. The reader emits radio waves in ranges of anywhere from one inch to 100 feet or more, depending upon its power output and the radio frequency used. When an RFID tag passes through the electromagnetic zone, it detects the reader's activation signal.
The reader decodes the data encoded in the tag's integrated circuit (silicon chip) and the data is passed to the host computer for processing.
RFID MODULE
The purpose of an RFID system is to enable data to be transmitted by a portable device, called a tag, which is read by an RFID reader and processed according to the needs of a particular application. The data transmitted by the tag may provide identification or location information, or specifics about the product tagged, such as price, color, date of purchase, etc. RFID technology has been used by thousands of companies for a decade or more. . RFID quickly gained attention because of its ability to track moving objects. As the technology is refined, more pervasive - and invasive - uses for RFID tags are in the works.
99
A typical RFID tag consists of a microchip attached to a radio antenna mounted on a substrate.The chip can store as much as 2 kilobytes of data.
To retrieve the data stored on an RFID tag, you need a reader. A typical reader is a device that has one or more antennas that emit radio waves and receive signals back from the tag. The reader then passes the information in digital form to a computer system. READER
Active Passive
In active, having power supply on tag. It continuously transit data. In passive, not having power supply. It transmits data only when it is in reader range. In tag there is silicon chip and antenna. silicon chip contains unique ID no.

Stepper Motor: This section of tutorial will explain you everything that you need to know about stepper motors. Stepper motors can be used in various areas of your microcontroller projects such as making robots, robotic arm, automatic door lock system etc. This tutorial will explain you construction of stepper motors (unipolar and bipolar stepper motors ), basic pricipal, different controlling types (Half step and Full step), Interfacing Techniques (using L293D or ULN2003) and programming your microcontroller in C and assembly to control stepper motor.
102
motor
The unipolar stepper motor has five or six wires and four coils (actually two coils divided by center connections on each coil). The center connections of the coils are tied together and used as the power connection. They are called unipolar steppers because power always comes Is on this one pole. :
The bipolar stepper motor usually has four wires coming out of it. Unlike unipolar steppers, bipolar steppers have no common center connection. They have two independent sets of coils instead. You can distinguish them from unipolar steppers by measuring the resistance between the wires. You should find two pairs of wires with equal resistance. If you've got the leads of your meter connected to two wires that are not connected (i.e. not attached to the same coil), you should see infinite resistance (or no continuity).
103
As already said, we will talk mostly on "Unipolar stepper motors" which is most common type of stepper motor available in the market.A simple example of 6 lead step motor is given below and in 5 lead step motor wire 5 and 6 are joined together to make 1 wire as common.
Working
Now lets discuss the operation pricipal of a stepper motor. When we energize a coil of stepper motor, The shaft of stepper motor (which is actually a permanent magnet) align itself according to poles of energized coil. So when motor coils are energized in a particular sequence, motor shaft tend to align itself according to pole of coils and hence rotates. A small
104
You can see in the example, when coil "A" is energized, A north-south polarity is generated at "A+A\" as shown in the figure above and magnetic shaft automatically align itself according to the poles generated. When the next coil is energized the shaft again align itself and take a step. Hence the working pricipal.
105
Stepangle . . . . Step angle of the stepper motor is defined as the angle traversed by the motor in one step. To calculate step angle,simply divide 360 by number of steps a motor takes to complete one revolution. As we have seen that in half mode, the number of steps taken by the motor to complete one revolution gets doubled, so step angle reduces to half.
CPLD Section: The daughter card section is most important section of the board. This section has 44 pins for connecting CPLD card. 8 Mhz oscillator is provided to give clock to programmable device .The frequency of this section determines the time taken or any operation.

RS232 Protocol: RS-232 (Recommended Standard 232) is a standard for serial binary data signals connecting between a DTE (Data terminal equipment) and a DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment). VoltageLevels. The RS-232 standard defines the voltage levels that correspond to logical one and logical zero levels. Valid signals are plus or minus 3 to 25 volts. The range near zero volts is not a valid RS-232 level; logic one is defined as a negative voltage, the signal condition is called marking, and has the functional significance of OFF. Logic zero is positive, the signal condition is spacing, and has the function ON So a Logic Zero represented as +3V to +25V and Logic One represented as -3V to -25V. .
Converters
Usually all the digial ICs works on TTL or CMOS voltage levels which cannot be used to communicate over RS-232 protocol. So a voltage or level converter is needed which can convert TTL to RS232 and RS232 to TTL voltage levels. .
The most commonly used RS-232 level converter is MAX232. This IC includes charge pump which can generate RS232 voltage levels (-10V and +10V) from 5V power supply. It also includes two receiver and two transmitters and is capable of full-duplex UART/USART communication

Working Here what i have done is a prototype for an Automated Ticketless Toll Booth System, in which we dont require to pay "paper money" while passing through a toll booth. Rather you require showing an RFID Tag, which has a personal 10 Bytes Identifier [of which last 3 Bytes are used for identification] to an RFID Module. This database has stored charges for each user. These charge decrements while using the RFID Tag in the Toll Booth.
112
In this, every car consists of tag having a unique no which is stored in processor unit means in data base. When card enter at toll booth, reader detect the code and compare with database. If data in data base match with the data in tag then there will be green display and stepper motor will rotate by 90 degree and also reverse wise, and barrier will be open. If the code will not match the red display will on and barrier will remain closed.

Conclusion
I hereby conclude that after attending the six moth industrial training in advance technology in VLSI technology. I gain a knowledge of circuit designing using VHDL .With the help of XILINX ISE software and vlsi universal board. modules such as serial communication ,gsm, rfid etc. I have become familiar with various
118
Apart from above ,I have also made a project of Toll Plaza and done work with advance digital experimental board which is much advanced version of digital trainers board for doing digital experiments . By using this technique there is less wastage of time and money. Rfid is a secure technology. Where the tolled roads are less congested than the parallel free roads, the traffic diversion resulting from the tolls increases congestion on the road system and reduce its usefulness, this technology decrease the traffic jams.
Future Scope
In future, if this module is connecting with GSM, we can send sms to their own mobiles respectably. So they will come to know the detail and they can also made queries regarding their detail.eg how much entries will remain in card.
