Port Name Required Description
nan No NaN exception output. Asserted when an invalid operation occurs.
Any operation involving NaN also asserts the nan port.
ALTFP_EXP Parameters
Table 9-6: ALTFP_EXP IP Core Parameters
Parameter Name Type Required Description
WIDTH_EXP Integer Yes Specifies the precision of the exponent. If this
parameter is not specified, the default is 8. The bias
of the exponent is always set to 2
(WIDTH_EXP -1)
-1,
that is, 127 for the single-precision format and 1023
for the double-precision format. The value of the
WIDTH_EXP parameter must be 8 for the single-
precision format, 11 for the double-precision
format, and a minimum of 11 for the single-
extended precision format. The value of the WIDTH_
EXP parameter must be less than the value of the
WIDTH_MAN parameter, and the sum of the WIDTH_
EXP and WIDTH_MAN parameters must be less than
64.
WIDTH_MAN
Integer Yes Specifies the value of the mantissa. If this parameter
is not specified, the default is 23. When the WIDTH_
EXP parameter is 8 and the floating-point format is
single-precision, the WIDTH_MAN parameter value
must be 23. Otherwise, the value of the WIDTH_MAN
parameter must be a minimum of 31. The value of
the WIDTH_MAN parameter must be greater than the
value of the WIDTH_EXP parameter. The sum of the
WIDTH_EXP and WIDTH_MAN parameters must be less
than 64.
PIPELINE Integer Yes Specifies the amount of latency, expressed in clock
cycles, used in the ALTFP_EXP IP core. Acceptable
pipeline values are 17, 22, and 25 cycles of latency.
Create the ALTFP_EXP IP core with the
MegaWizard Plug-In Manager to calculate the value
for this parameter.
ROUNDING String Yes Specifies the rounding mode. The default value is
TO_NEAREST. Other rounding modes are not
supported.
