Math function

Perform mathematical functions.

Collaboration diagram for Math function:

Performs basic mathematical functions (exp, log, log10, root, sqrt, pow). The mathfunction object is defined through its parameters, which give the kind of mathfunction, the port widths and the number of input ports.

Raise to power	2	pow
Root of number	2	root

Input Ports

Name	Width	Description
In	<PortWidth>	The input signal. This input is used for the following functions: exp, log, log10 and sqrt
In1	<PortWidth>	The base for pow and root. This input is used for the following functions: pow and root
In2	<PortWidth>	The the exponent or root value. This input is used for the following functions: pow and root

Output Ports

Name	Width	Description
Out	<PortWidth>	The result of the operations on the input

Configuration parameters

Name	Width	Description
PortWidth	-	The number of elements in the input and output ports
MathType	-	Specify the math function: exp / log / log10 / sqrt / pow / root
