1) Design using VHDL with EDA Playground, a 4 x 4-bit parallel multiplier using the correct number of adder blocks full-adders (FAs) and half-adders (HA). This must include the AND gates to generate the product terms and use the carry-save method with a ripple-carry adder in the final row (CLA adder is not required in the last row). a. You would need to use the RTL level design for the basic gates, i.e., AND, OR, XOR, etc. gates. Then, FAs and HAs need to be implemented using the structural (or logic gate) level design. Finally, the final parallel adder requires the structural (or logic gate) level design for connecting the AND gates, FAS and HAS. b. Per each of the basic gates, consider the delay based on the architecture, i.e., AND gates delay; c. Show simulation results by designing a dedicated testbench (i.e., testbench.vhd) and using Open EPWave with different input values in the range of 0-15. d. You should explain in a short report the design process and choices (up to 2 pages max).
