model sim error in my design

hi
i created a memory like below.and i wrote test bench for that.while doing
simulaton with model sim its giving the error..like below..

Fatal: (vsim-3421) Value -97 is out of range 0 to 255.
# Time: 25 ns Iteration: 0 Process: /mux_mem_tb/mut/line__44 File:
/disk/users2/kasam/hds_projects/Controller/controller/hdl/mux_mem_mux_mem_beh.vhd

AND MY TEST VECTORS ARE LIKE THIS
clk<= '0','1' after 5 ns, '0' after 10 ns,
'1' after 15 ns, '0' after 20 ns,
'1' after 25 ns, '0' after 30 ns,
'1' after 35 ns, '0' after 40 ns,
'1' after 45 ns, '0' after 50 ns,
'1' after 55 ns, '0' after 60 ns,
'1' after 65 ns, '0' after 70 ns,
we<='1' after 4 ns, '0' after 7 ns,
'1' after 24 ns, '0' after 27 ns,
'1' after 34 ns, '0' after 37 ns;

w_addr<= "00000000" after 4 ns,
"10011111" after 24 ns,
"00001111" after 34 ns;

re<='1' after 14 ns, '0' after 17 ns,
'1' after 44 ns, '0' after 47 ns,
'1' after 54 ns, '0' after 57 ns;

r_addr<= "00000000" after 14 ns,
"10011111" after 44 ns,
"00001111" after 54 ns;

data_in <= "000000000000111111111111" after 4 ns,
"111111111111000000000000" after 24 ns,
"111111000000111111000000" after 34 ns;

reset<='1' after 20 ns, '0'after 23 ns;

COULD PLS MAIL EM SOME SUGGATIONS FOR MY PROB::
THANK YOU

I didn't read your desing too carefully so I'm just guessing here.

You have (most likely) defined w_addr to be std_logic_vector. Since you
have included package std_logic_signed, converting std_logic_vector to
integer becomes a signed integer.

Try replacing line
use ieee.std_logic_signed.all;
with line
use ieee.std_logic_unsigned.all;
