Source Code Files

The files are located in the directory hierarchy within the vhdl-ams-code directory. There is a separate directory for each chapter, with the directory name based on the chapter title. In addition, the directory named util contains a number of utility packages and models. Within each directory there is an index file named index-ams.txt. It lists the files within the directory and indicates their contents.

There are three classes of files within each directory:

• Files containing code from figures within the book. The file names are based on the names of the entities, packages and configurations contained in the files. The index file identifies the corresponding figures.

• Files containing code appearing in line in the text of the book. The file names are of the form inline_nn .vhd. The index file identifies the corresponding section of the book.

• Files containing test-bench code. The file names are based on the name of the source file tested, with the prefix tb_added. The index file identifies the corresponding...
