According to ieee18002012 is a binary logical shift, while is a binary arithmetic shift basically, arithmetic shift uses context to determine the fill bits, so. Operators exponentiation left operand integer or floating point right operand integer only abs absolute value not inversion shift operators sll shift left logical fill value is 0 srl shift right logical fill value is 0. This method adds the multiplicand x to itself y times, where y denotes the multiplier. Readler, 2011, full arc press 9780983497301 starters guide to verilog 2001 by ciletti, 2004, prentice hall 0. Verilog and vhdl reminder vhdl like pascal and ada programming languages. Arithmetic and logical shifts and rotates are done. All registers must share the same clock, and the output of one register must be connected to the input of the next register in the chain. To multiply two numbers by paper and pencil, the algorithm is to take the digits of the multiplier one at a time from right to left, multiplying the multi. Then set all of the shift number of most significant bits of the output to the most significant bit of the input. Success in vhdl depends on understanding the types and overloaded operators provided by the standard and numeric packages. For sample syntax and a list of vhdl statements supported by the vhdl synthesizer, see appendix a, quick reference. The tutorial does not comprehensively cover the language. But when i used both of them, i got a logical shift in both cases.
In addition, other types of operators including relational, shift, arithmetic are allowed. What you want for an arithmetic right shift is to set the right most bits, less shift number of most significant bits of the output to the left most bits less shift number of least significant bits of the input.
