VHDL switch model

G

Grzegorz Jablonski

Dear All,
I have modified Ben Cohen's switch model code
(http://members.aol.com/vhdlcohen/vhdl/vhdlcode/switch1.vhd)
to handle multiple transactions occuring in delta times.
Could you please comment on this, are there any problems with the following
code?

Best regards,
GWJ

-- Description: This entity, and architecture provide
-- the definition of a three-port component (A, B, Cab) that models a
-- transfer gate. If Cab = '1' then A and B act as an ON switch
-- (or zero ohm connection). Else, if Cab = '0', then A and B are
-- assigned the value of 'Z'.
--
-- The width of the pass-through switch is defined through the
-- generic "width_g". The pass-through control and operation
-- is defined on a per bit basis (i.e. one process per bit).
