Behavioural languages - Part 3-2: Mathematical operation in VHDL

This set of packages provides a standard for the declaration of most frequently used real and complex elementary functions required for numerically oriented modeling applications. Use of these packages with their defined data types, constants, and functions is intended to provide a mechanism for writing VHDL models (compliant with IEEE Std 1076-1993) that are portable and interoperable with other VHDL models adhering to this standard. The standard serves a broad class of applications with reasonable ease of use and requires implementations that are of high quality. This standard includes package bodies, as described in annex B, which are available in electronic format either on a diskette affixed to the back cover, or as a downloadable file from the IEC Web Store.

FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the
two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61691-3-2 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 93:
Design automation.
This standard is based on IEEE Std 1076-2 (1996): IEEE Standard VHDL mathematical
packages.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.

1. Overview
1.1 Scope
This standard is embodied in the MATH_REAL and MATH_COMPLEX package declarations, and in the
semantics of the standard mathematical definition and the conventional meaning of the functions that are
part of this standard, along with 1.3. The information in annex A is a guide to users and implementors and is
not a normative part of this standard, but suggests ways in which one might use this set of packages. The
information in annex B is provided as a guideline for implementors and is not a normative part of this stan-
dard, but suggests ways in which implementors may implement this standard. The functions in this set of
packages were chosen because of their widespread utility, as well as because they are needed to support gen-
eral floating-point usage and to build other generic packages.
1.2 Constants, types, and functions provided
The following constants of type REAL are provided:

1.3 Conformance with this standard
The following conformance rules shall apply as they pertain to the use and implementation of this standard:
a) The package declarations may be modified to include additional data required by tools, but modifi-
cations shall in no way change the external interfaces or simulation behavior of the description. It is
permissible to add comments and/or attributes to the package declarations, but not to change or
delete any original lines of the approved package declaration.
b) The standard mathematical definition and conventional meaning of the mathematical functions that
are part of this standard, together with the MATH_REAL and MATH_COMPLEX package declara-
tions, represent the formal semantics of the implementation of the MATH_REAL and
MATH_COMPLEX packages. An implementation is provided as a guideline in annex B. Imple-
mentors of these packages may choose to simply compile the package bodies provided in annex B,
or they may choose to implement the package bodies in the most efficient form available to them.
Implementations should conform to the semantics and minimum precision required by this standard.
c) The MATH_REAL package shall be built on top of the standard data type and precision require-
ments for floating point operations defined in IEEE Std 1076-1993 (STD.STANDARD).
d) The minimum precision required is that of IEEE Std 1076-1993. Because of this reason and the fact
that the functions are implemented on digital computers with only finite precision, the functions and
constants in this set of packages can, at best, only approximate the corresponding mathematically
defined functions and constants. An implementation is allowed to provide a higher precision than
the minimum required.
e) For some functions, the implementation shall deliver “prescribed results” for certain special argu-
ments, as defined in the comments for the functions in the function declaration. The purpose is to
strengthen the accuracy requirements at special argument values. Prescribed results take precedence
over maximum relative error requirements.
f) The semantics of the standard require that all the functions in the packages detect and report invalid
parameters (out of valid domain) through an assert statement. The domain of valid values is indi-
cated in the MATH_REAL and MATH_COMPLEX package declarations. The default value of the
severity level shall be Error.
g) The semantics of the standard do not require detection of overflow or underflow. Therefore, detec-
tion of underflow/overflow is optional and implementation dependent.
h) If an implementation chooses to provide any extensions beyond the minimum requirements of this
standard (e.g., precision, overflow handling), then it shall document its behavior accordingly.
i) The MATH_REAL and MATH_COMPLEX packages shall be compiled into a library symbolically
named IEEE.

3. Package declarations
The declaration of each function includes the following information: description of the mathematical defini-
tion of the function; values to be returned by the function for special arguments; valid domain of values for
the input arguments; error conditions; range of values into which the function maps the values in its domain;
and notes on special accuracy situations, reachable values, usable domains, or algorithms to be used by an
implementation.
