Digital Logic signal values.
Digital Logic
signal values
are all intermediate to final outputs of logical circuits involving gates, registers, wires and flops. Primary and most common Digital Logic signal values are listed below.0 : Low : Logical expression value equals false.
1 : High: Logical expression value equals true.
Z : High Impedance : No drivers to signal temporary or permanent results in this state.
X : Conflict : A signal is concurrently driven to 0 and 1.
U: Un-
IEEE 1164 list some other states for signal states which are also widely known as VHDL std_logic.
The remaining set of digital logic signal values are related to signal strength.
The remaining set of digital logic signal values are related to signal strength.
L : Weak 0 : An indicator of signal strength which says almost zero.
H: Weak 1 : An indicator of signal strength which says almost one.
- : Don’t care : No effect on operation of circuit with any state of signal.
W: Weak unknown : Almost unknown with some hint of valid state.
H: Weak 1 : An indicator of signal strength which says almost one.
