📄Description

Arithmetic bit shift left/right by ShiftNumber (signed 64-bit).

Module nflow_blocks
Library Logic / Bit Operations
Type shiftArithmetic
Label Shift Arithmetic

Description

Arithmetic bit shift of the integer-valued input. ShiftDirection = "Left" multiplies by 2^ShiftNumber; "Right" performs a sign-preserving arithmetic right shift (dividing by 2^ShiftNumber, rounding toward negative infinity). Values are treated as signed 64-bit integers; the left shift is computed through unsigned arithmetic to stay well-defined. Element-wise over the input width.

Ports

Input(s)

Port Role Side Position
Port_1 Numeric signal read by the block. left x=0, y=40

Output(s)

Port Role Side Position
Port_1 Numeric signal produced by the block. right x=90, y=40

Parameters

Parameter Default value
ShiftDirection Left
ShiftNumber 1

Block Characteristics
