of_fp_cvt
Floating-point format converter
Maturity simulatedTargets FPGA + ASICDifficulty MediumPriority 1
Converts between binary64, binary32, binary16, bfloat16 and the OCP FP8 formats with correct rounding, saturation options and NaN canonicalization.
Simulated. The RTL is lint clean and passes its self-checking testbench against a reference model in simulation. It has not been run on an FPGA board or in silicon.
