Low-Power

This repository contains my project on designing a low-power 8-bit Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) using CMOS logic and VLSI techniques.

📂 Project Files

• alu_8bit.v → Verilog code for 8-bit ALU
• tb.v → Testbench for simulation
• waveform.png → Simulation waveform output

⚙️ Features

• Arithmetic: ADD, SUB
• Logic: AND, OR, XOR, NOT
• Shift: Left & Right
• Power optimization using Clock Gating

🔧 Tools Used

• Verilog HDL (RTL Design)
• ModelSim / Vivado (Simulation)
• Microwind / Magic VLSI (Layout & Power Analysis)

📊 Simulation & Layout

• RTL verified using testbench
• Waveforms captured in ModelSim
• Layout generated in Microwind for power/area estimation
