Hi everyone!

I would like to right the code of the component ADG712 (datasheet in 
attachment), but I don't know how to do...

This is my code below (simplified):

entity adg712 is
     port(In1: in std_logic;
          S1: inout std_logic;
          D1: inout std_logic);
end adg712;
architecture archi of adg712 is
     signal out_gate: std_logic;
     out_gate <= not(In1);
     S1 <= out_gate when In1 = '1' else 'z'; -- I think this part
     D1 <= out_gate when In1 = '1' else 'z'; -- is wrong
end archi;


The part I don't understand is the connection between the invert gate 
ouput and the wire S1 and D1.


Can you help me please ?

The INx pin of the ADG is a control pin for the behaviour between the 
two switch terminals Sx and Dx. The INx pin determines whether the two 
switch terminals are connected together or they are 'Z'...

You are very right.

Try google with "VHDL zero ohm". Thats a model for a bidirectional 
interconnection between two ports. You just have to tune it up a little 
and involve the control input INx...

Thank you for your answer!

So if I understood right, I should write a thing like this:

  S1 <= D1 when In1 = '1' else 'Z';

I never use inout signal, so is this line enough or it will be better 
like this:

         S1 <= D1 when In1 = '1' else 'Z';
         D1 <= S1 when In1 = '1' else 'Z';

Thx

Try it. Nothing of your proposals will work. It is a little more 
difficult. Thats why I added the search words for google (if you don't 
find anything try to add "Ben Cohen").
