Chapter 4 Data Types
In this chapter, we examine the object types used in
VHDL. The types allowed in VHDL consist of everything
from scalar numeric types to composite arrays and
records to file types. The first step in looking at the var-
ied VHDL types is to review the VHDL objects that can
attain the varied types. Then we use examples to show
how many types of descriptions can be made easier to
read by using the power of enumerated and composite
data types.
