  • Abstract
    This article describes design of ColdFire microprocessor ALU (Arithmetic Logical Unit) in VHDL language and presents an optimization to obtain maximum performance in Xilinx Virtex IV FPGA. The basic function of ALU is explained. There are described the instructions which any ALU must handle and some possibility how to design it. The advantages and disadvantages of performance are obtained as well.
