Hey i want to pass a real value through my testbench but my problem is my DUT takes an input XIN[7:0]


probably using $realtobits i can convert my real value into equivalent bitvector but since my input bus is just 8 bit and $realtobit converts the input real into 64 bit bit vector , so how on earth do i map my input real to my DUT..

Any ideas??

or any way of passing a real value to a input port of a ADC..

You could try to use an assignment to an OOMR. In other words, you could have a real variable inside your DUT that contains the input value, and you can assign to it directly from within your testbench using a hierarchical reference. There are some restrictions in the language you might have to try to work around. For example, this will not work if the real variable is owned by the analog context. It also will not work if the input changes continuously.
