hi, can anyone tell me the vhld equivalent of below number

See the stackoverflow-link above. For Details about the x" representation at std_logic_vector and so see the source Code of the according libraries: https://standards.ieee.org/downloads/1076/1076.2-1996/ For uses of literals written as 16#* alike, see http://vhdl.renerta.com/mobile/source/vhd00041.htm Over and Out,

Supplement: You must disitinct between "numeric literals" and "bit vector literals". See reference guide http://www.ics.uci.edu/~jmoorkan/vhdlref/literals.html. Note the reference to the VHDL Language Reference Manual (LRM) sections in the head of the page.

You cant't. Number of bits is always number of digits*4. If you need another number of bits, you need to create a subvector: y <= X"1200"; -- 16bit vector z <= y(12 downto 0); -- 13bit subvector

will create a 17 bit wide constant.

Anyway, afaik there is no way in VHDL to specify the exact number of bits in a hexadecimal constant. You could say something like "00"&x"1200" for 18bit. Or you can use the to_unsigned conversion function of numeric.std which takes the number of bits as parameter. See p.17 in http://www.synthworks.com/papers/vhdl_math_tricks_mapld_2003.pdf But there is no nice shortcut like in Verilog.
