Packages and Use Clauses

Packages in VHDL-AMS provide an important way of organizing the data and subprograms declared in a model. In this chapter, we describe the basics of packages and show how they may be used. We also look at several predefined and standard packages, which provide types, natures and operators for use in VHDL-AMS models.
