IEEE P1604 Working Group
An IEEE standards working group sponsored by the Design Automation Standards Committee
(DASC).
The P1604 Working Group is developing a draft Standard for
Inclusion of VHDL Library Units in the VHDL Library IEEE
Scope
The standard will specify a process for determining which items are
permitted to reside in the predefined library named STD, defined in
IEEE Standard 1076, and the library named IEEE, referenced in
associated standards (such as 1164). This standard will also specify
requirements on the internal documentation in the source code for such
items.
Purpose
Users expect that only IEEE-approved items reside in library IEEE, but
some vendors have placed non-standard items in their version of this
library. This standard will prevent the portability and compatibility
problems that arise when the contents of the library IEEE contain
non-standard items.
Participation is open to all interested parties. Voting membership of
the Working Group requires DASC membership. Non-DASC members are invited
to participate as observers. Most of the business of the Working Group
will take place by email.
