Honored ContributorCounting the position of ones in a binary vector
I want to design a combinatorial circuit for an fpga which will count the position of ones in a 16 bit vector. eg1 if vector is 16'b0000_0000_0011_0101 then output should be 64'h0000_0000_0000_5...

Honored Contributor --- Quote Start --- That code will give me the solution but i cannot buy that because i dont know what circuit it will boil down to and so i cannot guaranty that it will work at 266 MHz. Can you tell me what circuit it will amke out of that for loop ?? Thats why i want a gate level circuit.. --- Quote End --- How can you expect to work at 266MHz with a purely combinatorial circuit? plus, for loops do show the circuit if you understand how it works. Plus you could use the RTL viewer to look at the circuit. A for loops makes the source code manageable.
