Lab 4: Sequential Design

In this exercise, we will complete our design of the LiCi encryption. Below are the general steps we will be following:

• Using the keygen design from Lab 2, we will re-synthesize it using the sky130nm following the procedure in Lab 3.
• Design the whole system, using our keygen, LiCi round and counter. You might also need a control block to facilitate the flow of signals. Note also that the S-box for the keygen is different from the S-box of the LiCi round.
• Synthesize the design with and without constraints

You are to submit the following:

1. A report containing the following:

• The characterization of the re-synthesized keygen
• Block diagram of the whole system
• The characterization of the whole system
• Discussion and analysis

2. Your verilog codes of your design and testbenches. Include a text file describing each file.

3. Relevant reports from tool to support your characterization in the report
