Typecast a floating-point type to an unsigned integer or vice versa

Libraries:
HDL Coder / HDL Floating Point Operations

Description

The block casts the underlying bits of the input to the corresponding fixed-point or floating point representation. The input and output of the block contain the same number of bits.

This figure shows how the block mask, behavior, and output data type changes dynamically depending on the input data type that you specify.

Examples

Ports

Input

expand all

Port to provide input to the block.

Data Types: singledouble | uint32 | fixed point

Output

expand all

Port to obtain calculated output from the block.

Data Types: single | double | uint32 | fixed point

Extended Capabilities

expand all

The block supports HDL code generation in the Native Floating Point mode. To use this mode, specify single oruint32 data types as input to the block. With the HDL Code Advisor, you can replace Data Type Conversion blocks that use theStored Integer (SI) mode and convert between floating-point and fixed-point data types.

The block supports code generation for complex signals.
