Guards and Blocks
In this chapter we look at a number of closely related topics. First, we discuss a new kind of resolved signal called a guarded signal. We see how we can disconnect drivers from such signals. Next, we introduce the idea of blocks in a VHDL-AMS design. We show how blocks and guarded signals work together with guards and guard expressions to cause automatic disconnection of drivers. Finally, we discuss blocks as a mechanism for describing a hierarchical structure within an architecture.
19.1 Guarded Signals and Disconnection
In Chapter 15 we saw how we can use resolved signals that include values such as ‘Z’ for modeling high-impedance outputs. However, if we are modeling at a higher level of abstraction, ...
