The tenth cycle transmits the parity of the 8-bit value. The most significant bit is transmitted first. The next eight cycles transmit each bit of the value. This assignment indicates that an 8-bit value follows. In the first cycle, a ’1’ is placed on the serial input. On the eleventh clock cycle, the parallel output value can be read. Each 8-bit value requires ten clock cycles to read it. When no data is being transmitted to the serial port, keep it at a value of ’0’. When a parity error is detected, the converter halts until restarted by the RESET port. PARITY_ERROR-The output that, when it is ’1’ on the positive transition of CLOCK, indicates that a parity error has been detected on the SERIAL_IN port.READ_ENABLE-The output that, when it is ’1’ on the positive transition of CLOCK, causes the data on PARALLEL_OUT to be read.PARALLEL_OUT-The 8-bit value read from the SERIAL_IN port.The design produces the following outputs: Outputs of the converter are also valid only on positive transitions. CLOCK-The value of RESET and SERIAL_IN, which is read on the positive transition of this clock.All outputs are set to 0, and the converter is prepared to read the next serial word. RESET-The input that, when it is ’1’, causes the converter to reset.This example shows the design of a serial-to-parallel converter that reads a serial, bit-stream input and produces an 8-bit output. Serial-to-Parallel Converter-Counting Bits TEMP receives the value of the C parameter and assigns it to the appropriate signal (a generally useful technique). To overcome this problem, subprocesses are used, declaring a temporary variable TEMP.
The output parameter C from the CLA procedure is not declared as a signal thus, it is not allowed in a concurrent procedure call. This keyword is required for the out formal parameters when the actual parameters must be signals. The keyword signal is included before some of the interface parameter declarations. Foundation Express does not collapse a hierarchy of entities, but it does collapse the procedure call hierarchy into one design.
