Float Typecast

Typecast a floating-point type to an unsigned integer or vice versa

  • Float Typecast block

Libraries:
HDL Coder / HDL Floating Point Operations

Description

The block casts the underlying bits of the input to the corresponding fixed-point or floating point representation. The input and output of the block contain the same number of bits.
