The Convert Block
The Convert block changes the quantization of a number but not the value. This block can alter the number of bits
used to represent a number. It can be used to convert a signed type to an unsigned type and visa versa. Often the
Convert block is used to truncate the output fractional bits after a multiplication operation.
