Table 17-8: ALTFP_CONVERT Parameters
Port Name Type Required Description
WIDTH_EXP_
INPUT
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 WIDTH_EXP_INPUT 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 WIDTH_EXP_
INPUT must be less than the value of WIDTH_MAN_INPUT,
and the sum of WIDTH_EXP_INPUT and WIDTH_MAN_INPUT
must be less than 64. These settings apply only to the
FLOAT2FIXED, FLOAT2INT, and FLOAT2FLOAT operation
modes.
WIDTH_MAN_
INPUT
Integer Yes Specifies the precision of the mantissa. If this parameter
is not specified, the default is 23. When WIDTH_EXP_
INPUT is 8 and the floating-point format is single-
precision, the WIDTH_MAN_INPUT value must be 23.
Otherwise, the value of WIDTH_MAN_INPUT must be a
minimum of 31. The value of WIDTH_MAN_INPUT must be
greater than the value of WIDTH_EXP_INPUT, and the sum
of WIDTH_EXP_INPUT and WIDTH_MAN_INPUT must be less
than 64. These settings apply only to the FLOAT2FIXED,
FLOAT2INT, and FLOAT2FLOAT operation modes.
WIDTH_INT Integer Yes Specifies the integer width.
If the operation is FIXED2FLOAT or INT2FLOAT, this
parameter defines the integer width on the input side.
If the operation is FLOAT2INT or FLOAT2FIXED, this
parameter defines the result width on the output side.
The available settings are 32 bits, 64 bits or n bits. For n
bits settings, the range is from 4 bits to 64 bits.
