Clock enable input port

Name for clock enable input port

Model Configuration Pane: Global Settings

Description

Specify the name for the clock enable input port in generated HDL code.

Settings

clk_enable (default) | character vector

Default: clk_enable

Enter the clock enable input port name in generated HDL code as a character vector.

For example, if you specify 'filter_clock_enable' for the generating subsystem filter_subsys, the generated entity declaration might look as follows:

ENTITY filter_subsys IS
   PORT( clk                 :  IN  std_logic;
         filter_clock_enable :  IN  std_logic;
         reset               :  IN  std_logic;
         filter_subsys_in    :  IN  std_logic_vector (15 DOWNTO 0);
         filter_subsys_out   :  OUT std_logic_vector (15 DOWNTO 0);
         );
END filter_subsys;

The clock enable input signal is asserted active-high (1). Thus, the input value must be high for the generated entity's registers to be updated.

If you specify a VHDL®, Verilog® or SystemVerilog reserved word, the code generator appends a reserved word postfix string to form a valid VHDL, Verilog or SystemVerilog identifier. For example, if you specify the reserved word signal, the resulting name string would be signal_rsvd.

Tips

To set this property, use the functions hdlset_param or makehdl. To view the property value, use the function hdlget_param.

For example, you can specify this property when you generate HDL code for the symmetric_fir subsystem inside the sfir_fixed model using either of these methods.

  • Pass the property as an argument to the makehdl function.

    makehdl('sfir_fixed/symmetric_fir', ... 
        'ClockEnableInputPort','clken')

  • When you use hdlset_param, you can set the parameter on the model and then generate HDL code using makehdl.

    hdlset_param('sfir_fixed','ClockEnableInputPort','clken')
makehdl('sfir_fixed/symmetric_fir')
