Question

Write a VHDL code to implement the circuit function described below. 6. The circuit is to display the last four digits of your student ID number on a 7-segment display, one digit at a time, triggered by the falling edge of the clock signal. DIR: Direction of the display sequence, '1 CLK: clock pulse for the display sequence RST: reset the display counter. forward, '0' - reverse. Student ID: 8243416 Vdd ABCDE F G DIR CLK RST For example, if your ID number is 1234567, the last four digits are ‘4', '5.6, 7, and the circuit is to display '4', '5', '6', 7','4', '5','6,7"..when DIR '1' and display Code must be well-organized and clearly explained. Write a small test bench code to perform the simulation and verification. Submit your VHDL code, test bench code and the simulation waveforms. (15 marks)

Answer 1

--VHDL Code

--We will design a Moore State Machine, with four states
--Each state will output one digit on seven segment display
--last four digit is 3416
--seven segment display shown is of common anode type
