Honored ContributorArithmetic Operators in vhdl
Hi everyone,
Can arithmetic operators(such as '+','-',etc.) only be used within process statement? If yes, why?Thanks.2 Replies
Altera_Forumyou can use them in functions and procedures too.
basically, anything in the architecture is a process, just if its placed outside an explicit process it is an implicit process sensitive to all the signals on the RHS: a <= b * c; is the same as: process(b, c) begin a <= b * c; end process;- Altera_Forum
No, operators can be used outside process. Then result will not be registered as it is when you use the operators within process.
