Implementation of 8-bit microprocessor into FPGA chip

This thesis deals with design of microprocessor compatible with one of 8-bit microcontrollers manufactured by Microchip company. Theoretical part of this thesis analyzes architectures of 8-bit PIC microcontrollers, picks one of these microcontrollers and describes its architecture and function of its subcircuits. Practical part deals with design of architecture compatible in terms of instruction execution, internal data flow and subcircuit behavior, all this to achieve the best possible program portability from target microcontroller. The last part of thesis describes method of processor implementation into FPGA chip and mentions potential design differences for ASIC implementation. It also deals with verification and method of programming
