  • HDL Math Reciprocal Block

Description

HDL Math Reciprocal Block

The Reciprocal block performs the reciprocal operation on the input data signal. The block has control signals that indicate whether the input and output data are valid. You can also specify the number of iterations of the algorithm and the latency strategy.

To use this block in your Simulink® model, open the HDLMathLib library by entering this command in the MATLAB® Command Window:

open_system("HDLMathLib")

Latency Considerations

You can simulate the Sqrt block with latency. This block is a masked subsystem that contains the LumpLatency MATLAB Function block. The subsystem uses this MATLAB Function block to compute the latency based on output data type. The latency of the block is calculated from word-length and fractional-length of fixed-point output.

The block supports four latency modes. You can specify a custom latency value by setting the Latency Strategy parameter to Custom.

To view the function that computes the latency of the block, open the LumpLatency block in the masked subsystem. To view inside the mask, click the ⇩ icon on the block. For more information, see Lump Latency for Reciprocal Block.

Examples

Implement Reciprocal Block with Control Signals

Implement the control-signal based Reciprocal block and use it to generate HDL code.

Limitations

The block has following HDL code generation limitations:

  • The block does not support floating-point data types, such as half, single, and double.

  • Bus type inputs are not supported.

  • Cannot be used in Synchronous Subsystem.

  • Does not support resource sharing optimization.

Ports

Input

expand all

Data input to calculate the reciprocal.

Data Types: int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | Boolean | fixed point

Input control signal that indicates whether the input signal is valid.

Data Types: Boolean

Output

expand all

Output signal that is the reciprocal of the input signal.

Data Types: int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | Boolean | fixed point

Output control signal that indicates whether output signal is valid.

Data Types: Boolean

Parameters

expand all

Specify whether to map the blocks in your design to minimum, maximum, custom, or zero latency. For more information, see LatencyStrategy.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: latencyMode
Type: character vector
Values: 'Max' | 'Min''Custom' | 'Zero'
Default: 'Max'

When you set Latency strategy to Custom, use this parameter to specify the custom latency value. The latency must be a nonnegative integer in the range [0, L], where L is the maximum latency value of Reciprocal block. For more information, see CustomLatency.

Dependency

To use this parameter, set Latency strategy to Custom.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: customLatencyValue
Type: Integer
Values: 0 to Max latency
Default: 0

Specify the output data type. The data type can be inherited or specified directly.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: OutDataTypeStr
Type: character vector
Values: 'Inherit: Inherit via internal rule' | 'Inherit: Inherit via back propagation' | 'Inherit: Same as first input' | 'int8' | 'uint8' | int16 | 'uint16' | 'int32' | 'uint32' | 'int64' | 'uint64' | fixdt(1,16,0) | '<data type expression>'
Default: 'Inherit: Inherit via internal rule'

Tips

The block supports HDL code generation using HDL Coder™. HDL Coder provides additional configuration options that affect HDL implementation and synthesized logic. For more information, see HDL Block Properties.
