Chapter 3: Data Types

Express Data Types

The std_logic_arith package provides arithmetic operations and numeric comparisons on array data types. The package also defines two major data types; UNSIGNED and SIGNED. These data types, unlike the predefined INTEGER type, provide access to the individual bits (wires) of a numeric value. For more information, see “std_logic_arith Package” section of the “Foundation Express Packages” chapter.
