Generic Map

The GENERIC MAP is similar to the PORT MAP in that it maps specific values to generics declared in the component

PACKAGE my_stuff IS
   COMPONENT and_gate
      GENERIC (tplh, tphl : time);
      PORT (in1, in2 : IN BIT; out1 : OUT BIT);
   END COMPONENT;
END PACKAGE my_stuff;


USE Work.my_stuff.ALL;

ARCHITECTURE test of test_entity IS
     SIGNAL S1, S2, S3 : BIT;
BEGIN
  Gate1 : my_stuff.and_gate
     GENERIC MAP (2ns, 3 ns)
     PORT MAP (S1, S2, S3);
END test;
