Ring Oscillator with Feedback

1

entity osc is

2

    Port ( inp : inout  STD_LOGIC;

3

          oup : inout  STD_LOGIC);

4

end osc;

If i were your teacher, you would get the worst grade just for this port 
definition! Why the heck is an input connected to an inout port? And why 
an output even so? Summary: laziness ist not good for good grades!

What do you get instead? And how do you see the erroneuos result?

You use a signal to connect them together. And you do that already with 
the x1..x3 signals. Just finisch up the job by using the x4 signal:

1

entity osc is

2

    Port ( inp : in  STD_LOGIC;

3

           oup : out  STD_LOGIC);

4

end osc;

5

6

architecture Behavioral of osc is

7

signal x1, x2, x3, x4  : STD_LOGIC;

8

9

component andgate is

10

    Port ( inp1 : in  STD_LOGIC;

11

           inp2 : in  STD_LOGIC;

12

           out1 : out  STD_LOGIC);

13

end component;

14

15

component inverter1 is

16

    Port ( a : in  STD_LOGIC;

17

           b : out  STD_LOGIC);

18

end component;

19

20

begin

21

 oup <= x4;

22

23

l0: andgate port map ( inp1 => inp, inp2 => x4, out1 => x1 );

24

l1: inverter1 port map ( a => x1, b => x2 );

25

l2: inverter1 port map ( a => x2, b => x3 );

26

l3: inverter1 port map ( a => x3, b => x4 );

27

28

end Behavioral;

Why do you instantiate each lousy gate manually? An AND gate you can 
write down this way:
result <= a and b;
And a NOT gate is simply this:
result <= not a;
So finally your description looks like that:

1

entity osc is

2

    Port ( inp : in  STD_LOGIC;

3

           oup : out STD_LOGIC);

4

end osc;

5

6

architecture Behavioral of osc is

7

  signal x1, x2, x3, x4  : STD_LOGIC;

8

begin

9

  oup <= o;

10

  x1  <= inp and x4;

11

  x2  <= not x1;

12

  x3  <= not x2;

13

  x4  <= not x3;

14

end Behavioral;

Looks much more easy to read, doesn't it?

Have a look at my implementations, they run fairly well...

One more hint: pls use the VHDL tags further on:

Dear Miller,

Thanks for correcting me.
In my test bench, when i gave as below commenting clk signals , for 
single
value there is no toggle for 2 inverter gate.

1

 wait for 10 ns;

2

      reset <= '0';

3

 wait; -- i want without commenting this, else input is toggling the same

4

           so ouput toggles.

But a ring osc with any feedback should toggle with any input.
I am trying to check delay in Ring Osc when odd inverters.

What simulation do you perform? A behavioural simulation or a post P&R 
(timing) simulation?
You cannot simulate this design without timing information. A simple 
behavioural simulation will give rubbish or an error due to the 
combinational loop...

One more hint: don't insert a "testbench" nor a "bench" inside the tag
[vhdl testbench]
---
[/vhdl bench]
Simply use it as i posted it previously and as its stated a few lines 
above the edit box...

Sir,

Thanks.
I am using Xilinx ISE 12.4. and use ISE simulator.
Attached jpg file of PlaceRoute and Simulate Behavioral Model as per 
previous test bench input.

No Toggling of Ring Osc.
Is do file generates for ISE Simulator?
Refering to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgRrATFd3jc the author uses 
do
file for model sim.

Regards

As I said: you cannot do a behavioral simulation on a combinatorial 
loop. Didn't you read what I wrote?

What's the code for the waveform above? And what about the other 
internal signals values?

Sir,

Thanks for your time.
1) Q: you cannot do a behavioral simulation on a combinatorial
loop ?
A : As in my first post i wrote without loops.where i tried to
give feedback.

2)Q: What's the code for the waveform above? --
A: Synthesis code 
:http://www.lothar-miller.de/s9y/categories/29-Ringoszillator.

3) Q : what about the other internal signals values?
   A : Gave ring <= "011" in the testbench.
   Errors:"F:/FPGAP/ringosc/osc3_tb.vhd" Line 84: <ring> is not 
declared.
   ERROR:HDLCompiler:854 - "F:/FPGAP/ringosc/osc3_tb.vhd" Line 38: Unit
   <behavior> ignored due to previous errors.
   VHDL file F:/FPGAP/ringosc/osc3_tb.vhd ignored due to errors

3) Do i need to give values to signals also?
   Gave values to rst only. such as ring <= "011" in the testbench.
   NEVER read giving values to signal.

Regards

Did you have a little look at the waveform pictures there and at yours? 
My ring oscillator is reset when reset='1'. So in your waveform the ring 
oscillator is always in reset!

Of course thats not possible, because in the VHDL module named 
"testbench" the signal "ring" is unknown. But you can look inside the 
component under test with the simulator. Just open the corresponding 
node of the component tree and add the desired signal to the wavefrom.
