Title: real to int
Post by markb on Sep 15^th, 2004, 5:43am

???
Can anyone tell me f its possible to convert a real to an integer type in VHDL-AMS?

I need to calculate the number of times for a for loop to execute and the answer comes out as a real, for loops only accept integers as you cant go round a loop 45.3 times say.

Any ideas?
Cheers
Mark

Mark,

have a look at the math package, there's many conversion functions between the most common signal types in VHDL.

yeah, i kinda got that when I remembered VHDL-AMS was a superset of VHDL - 'feeling stupid right now'.
cheers! it was signal = integer(real_number);
so simple.
