This block is listed in the following Xilinx® Blockset libraries: Basic Elements, Data Types, and Index.

The Parallel to Serial block takes an input word and splits it into N time-multiplexed output words where N is the ratio of number of input bits to output bits. The order of the output can be either least significant bit first or most significant bit first.

The following waveform illustrates the block's behavior:

Figure 1. Block Behavior

This example illustrates the case where the input width is 4, output word size is 1, and the block is configured to output the most significant word first.

Block Interface

The Parallel to Serial block has one input and one output port. The input port can be any size. The output port size is indicated on the block parameters dialog box.

Block Parameters

The block parameters dialog box can be invoked by double-clicking the icon in your Simulink® model.

Basic tab
