Basic Module Format:

Packages and Entity

-- Notes Page --


The following slides present the standard format for an ADEPT module. Adherence to this standard format facilitates the maintenance of the ADEPT library of modules.

ADEPT type and subprogram definitions are provided in a library called package_defs. Several packages within that library are available. In ADEPT, the generics are often specified on the schematic to configure instantiated modules. The data_input and dependent_output ports must be of INOUT type because these tokens use the four-cycle communication protocol. The control_input and independent_output are IN and OUT, respectively, since they are only driven by the token masters.
