1. Introduction

Peripheral interface controller (PIC) is a family of microcontrollers made by Microchip Technology. A microcontroller is a one chip computer that include microprocessors, memories, and peripherals. PIC devices are popular with both industrial developers and hobbyists due to their low cost, wide availability, large user base, extensive collection of application notes, availability of low cost or free development tools, serial programming, and re-programmable Flash-memory capability. They can be programmed to be timers, to control a production line, to control light and sound intensity by involving few sensors, and to perform other kind of tasks. The PIC microcontroller have five basic instruction cycle which are fetch, decode, execute, memory, and write (FDEMW) . [1]

2. Verilog HDL Design

Figure 1. This report’s design [2]

On the verilog hardware description language (HDL) design is based on Figure 1. This sections starts by constructing the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), bitmask, and W register. Then continue to design the program counter and return stack which its values to be sent to the instruction register where there is also decode and control behavior. Next is the design of special register, although the effective addressing is discussed in early part. After that the built module have to be connected to the firstly created ALU, bitmask, and W register. Lastly implement sleep and tristate buffer.
