Functional Description:
Design Pad supports two signal types --analog signals (floating point values) drawn in red, and digital signals (boolean values, i.e., true/false or high/low) drawn in blue. Structure signals, drawn in green, are also supported. but are not relevant to this discussion. Analog and digital signal types cannot be directly mixed --analog signals may not be directly connected to digital ones. But, analog signals may be converted into digital ones (and vice-versa). The D/A Conversion operator converts a HIGH/LOW boolean value into an analog floating point value. The analog output y of the D/A Conversion operator is
where x is the digital input value.
