Implement mux using for loop

Hi Tricky,

Thank you for your reply. It's probably the best to do.

Do you know what happend if you don't have a quantity of input equal to a power of 2 (= size of mux_in array size) because you can't specify any default value.

So if

type array_type is array (5 downto 0) of std_logic_vector(15 downto 0);
signal mux_in:    array_type;
signal mux_slct: unsigned(2 downto 0);
signal mux_out: std_logic_vector(15 downto 0);
...
-- no problem with that
mux_slct  <= "011";
mux_out1 <= mux_in(to_integer(mux_slct);
-- what about this situation
mux_slct  <= "111";
mux_out2 <= mux_in(to_integer(mux_slct);

So maybe the best would be:

p_mux : process(mux_slct,mux_in)
begin
   if(mux_slct < mux_in'length) then
      mux_out <= mux_in(to_integer(mux_slct));
   else
      mux_out <= (others<='0');
   end if;
end process p_mux;

?

Is it the most robust way to do it?

Cheers,

Jean
