Table 17-7: ALTFP_CONVERT Output Signals

Port Name

Required

Description

result[]

Yes

Output for the floating-point converter. The size of this output port

depends on the

WIDTH_RESULT

parameter value.

If the operation mode value is

FLOAT2INT

or

FLOAT2FIXED

, the output

bus is an IEEE floating-point representation.
If the operation mode is

FLOAT2INT

, the output bus is an integer

representation. If the selected precision is the single-precision format,

the output bus width value is

32

. If the selected precision is the double-

precision format, the output bus width value is

64

. If the selected

precision is the single-extended precision format, the input bus range is

from

43

to

64

.

If the operation mode value is

FLOAT2FLOAT

, the output bus is an IEEE

floating-point representation. If the selected precision is the single-

precision format, the output bus is in the 64-bit double-precision

format. If the selected precision is the double-precision format, the

output bus is in the 32-bit single-precision format. If the selected

precision is the single-extended precision format, the output bus ranges

from

43

to

64

.

overflow

No

Optional overflow exception output. This port is available only when

the operation mode values are

FLOAT2FIXED

,

FLOAT2INT

, or

FLOAT2FLOAT

.

Asserted when the result of the conversion (after rounding), exceeds

the maximum width of the

result[]

port, or when the

dataa[]

input

is infinity.

underflow

No

Optional underflow exception output. This port is available only when

the operation mode values are

FLOAT2FIXED

,

FLOAT2INT

, or

FLOAT2FLOAT

.

Asserted when the result of the conversion, after rounding, is

fractional.
In

FLOAT2INT

operations, this port is asserted when the exponent value

of the floating-point input is smaller than the exponent bias.
In

FLOAT2FLOAT

operations, this port is asserted when the floating-

point input has a value smaller than the lowest exponent limit of the

target floating-point format.

nan

No

Optional NaN exception output. This port is available only when the

operation mode values are

FLOAT2INT

,

FLOAT2FLOAT

, or

FLOAT2FIXED

.

Asserted when the input port is a NaN representation.
If the operation mode value is

FLOAT2INT

or

FLOAT2FIXED

, the

result[]

port is set to zero.

If the operation mode value is

FLOAT2FLOAT

, the

result[]

port is set to

a NaN representation.
