## Detailed Description

Set of functions for converting types.

## Function Documentation

## ◆ fix2float() [1/2]

float fix2float | ( | int | n | ) |

Fixed-point to Floating-point conversion without scaling.

Parameters

  n | Integer input value

## ◆ fix2float() [2/2]

float fix2float | ( | int | n,
|  | int | sft )

Fixed-point to Floating-point conversion with scaling.

Parameters

  n | Integer input value
  sft | Binary point of input value. Range [-32:31].

## Example:

If the input value has 8 fractional bits, then 0.5 in fixed point will be expressed as 128. To convert this value to float use the following code, which stores 0.5 in floating-point variable b:

    int   n = 128;
    float b = fix2float(n,8);

## ◆ float2fix() [1/2]

int float2fix | ( | float | n | ) |

Floating-point to Fixed-point conversion without scaling.

Parameters

  n | Floating point input value

## ◆ float2fix() [2/2]

int float2fix | ( | float | n,
|  | int | sft )

Floating-point to Fixed-point conversion with scaling.

Parameters

  n | Floating point input value
  sft | Binary point of output value. Range [-32:31].

## Example:

The input value is 0.5 and the output shall be of format Q24.8 (meaning 8 fractional bits out of 128 bit integer output word). To convert this value to float use the following code, which stores 128 in fixed-point variable a:

    float   n = 0.5;
    int a = float2fix(n,8);
