|x| Floating Point Absolute

Library: Floating Point Arithmetic

Behavior

This component calculates the absolute value of the floating-point value on its west input and places the result on the east output. Negative zero becomes positive zero; positive values and positive infinity remain unchanged.

The ERR output is 1 when the result is NaN and 0 otherwise. An input containing unknown or error bits is converted to NaN.

Pins

West edge (input, bit width matches Float size)
The floating-point value whose absolute value is calculated.
East edge (output, bit width matches Float size)
The absolute value of the input.
South edge (output, bit width 1)
ERR: 1 if the result is NaN; otherwise 0.

Attributes

Float size
The floating-point width of the input and result: 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits.

Poke Tool Behavior

None.

Text Tool Behavior

None.
