Description
The Bit to Integer Converter block maps groups of bits in the input vector to integers in the output vector.
If M is specified by the Number of bits per integer(M) parameter:
For unsigned integers, the block maps each group of M bits to an integer in the range [0, (2M – 1)]. As a result, the output vector length is 1/M times the input vector length.
For signed integers, the block maps each group of M bits to an integer in the range [(–2M-1), (2M – 1 – 1)].
Ports
Input
In — Input signal
bit scalar | column vector of bits
Input signal, specified as a scalar or column vector of bits with a length that is a multiple of the value specified in the Number of bits per integer(M) parameter. The input must be bits with values of 0 or 1.
Data Types: double
Output
Out — Output signal
integer | column vector of integers
Output signal, returned as an integer or column vector of integers. The After bit packing, treat resulting integer values as parameter specifies whether input bits are treated as unsigned or signed.
When the input bits are treated as unsigned, each integer output is in the range [0, (2M – 1)].
When the input bits are treated as signed, each integer output is in the range [(–2M-1), (2M – 1 – 1)].
Parameters
Number of bits per integer(M) — Number of bits per integer
3
(default) | integer in the range [1, 32]
Number of input bits mapped to each integer in the output, specified as an integer in the range [1, 32].
Programmatic Use
Block Parameter:
nbits |
Type: character vector |
Values: integer in the range [1, 32] |
Default:
'3' |
Input bit order — Input bit order
MSB first
(default) | LSB first
Input bit order, specified as 'MSB first'
or
'LSB first'
.
'MSB first'
–– First bit of the input signal is the most significant bit (MSB).'LSB first'
–– First bit of the input signal is the least significant bit (LSB).
Programmatic Use
Block Parameter:
bitOrder |
Type: character vector |
Values: 'MSB
first' | 'LSB first' |
Default: 'MSB
first' |
After bit packing, treat resulting integer values as — Flag for signed integer values after bit packing
Unsigned
(default) | Signed
Specify whether the resulting integer values are treated as signed or unsigned after bit packing. This parameter setting determines which Output data type selections are available.
Tip
When this parameter is set to Unsigned
and
the block has an overflow, the block behaves as though After
bit packing, treat resulting integer values as is set to
Signed
.
Programmatic Use
Block Parameter:
signedOutputValues |
Type: character vector |
Values:
'Unsigned' |
'Signed' |
Default:
'Unsigned' |
Output data type — Output data type
Inherit via internal
rule
(default) | Smallest integer
| Same as input
| double
| single
| int8
| uint8
| int16
| uint16
| int32
| uint32
The Output data type options change depending on the desired signedness of the output.
If the output integers are Signed
, you can
choose from the following Output data type options:
Inherit via internal rule
Smallest integer
double
single
int8
int16
int32
If the output integers are Unsigned
, you can
choose from the following options in addition to the
Signed
options:
Same as input
uint8
uint16
uint32
When you set the parameter to Inherit via internal
rule
, the block determines the output data type based on
the input data type.
If the input signal is floating-point (either
double
orsingle
), the output data type is the same as the input data type.If the input data type is not floating-point, the output data type is determined as if the parameter is set to
Smallest integer
.
When you set the parameter to Smallest
integer
, the block selects the output data type based on
the settings used in the Hardware Implementation Pane of
the Configuration Parameters dialog box.
If you select
ASIC/FPGA
for the device vendor, the output data type is the smallest ideal integer or fixed-point data type, based on the setting for the Number of bits per integer(M) parameter.For all other device vendor selections, the output data type is the smallest available (signed or unsigned) integer word length that is large enough to fit the ideal minimum bit size.
