-- Purpose      : This packages defines standard types, constants, functions
--              : and procedures for use in developing ASIC models.
--              : Specifically a set of logic primitives are defined.
--              :
-- Known Errors :
--              :
-- Note         : No declarations or definitions shall be included in,
--              : or excluded from this package. The "package declaration"
--              : defines the objects (types, subtypes, constants, functions,
--              : procedures ... etc.) that can be used by a user.  The package
--              : body shall be considered the formal definition of the
--              : semantics of this package.  Tool developers may choose to
--              : implement the package body in the most efficient manner
--              : available to them.

    -- VITAL Primitives
    -- 
    --   The primitives packages contains a collections of common gates, 
    -- including AND, OR, XOR, NAND, NOR, XNOR, BUF, INV, MUX and DECODER 
    -- functions.  In addition, for sequential devices, a STATE TABLE construct
    -- is provided.  For complex functions a modeler may wish to use either
    -- a collection of connected VITAL primitives, or a TRUTH TABLE construct.
    --
    --   For each primitive a Function and Procedure is provided.  The primitive
    -- functions are provided to support behavioral modeling styles.  The 
    -- primitive procedures are provided to support structural modeling styles.
    --
    --   The procedures wait internally for an event on an input signal, compute
    -- the new result, perform glitch handling, schedule transaction on the
    -- output signals, and wait for future input events.  All of the functional 
    -- (logic) input or output parameters of the primitive procedures are
    -- signals.  All the other parameters are constants.
    --
    --   The procedure primitives are parameterized for separate path delays 
    -- from each input signal.  All path delays default to 0 ns.
    -- 
    --   The sequential primitive functions compute the defined function and 
    -- return a value of type std_ulogic or std_logic_vector.  All parameters
    -- of the primitive functions are constants of mode IN.
    --
    --   The primitives are based on 1164 operators. The user may also elect to
    --   express functions using the 1164 operators as well.  These styles are
    --   all equally acceptable methods for device modeling.
