Discontinuities

Discontinuous function blocks such as Saturation

Use blocks in the Discontinuities library to model elements of discontinuous-time dynamic systems, such as static and dynamic friction, hit crossings, and zones in which an input produces zero output.

Blocks

Backlash	Model behavior of system with play
Coulomb and Viscous Friction	Model discontinuity at zero, with linear gain elsewhere
Dead Zone	Provide region of zero output
Dead Zone Dynamic	Provide dynamic region of zero output
Hit Crossing	Detect crossing point
PWM	Generate ideal pulse width modulated signal corresponding to input duty cycle (Since R2020b)
Quantizer	Discretize input at given interval
Rate Limiter	Limit rate of change of signal
Rate Limiter Dynamic	Limit rate of change of signal
Relay	Switch output between two constants
Saturation	Limit input signal to the upper and lower saturation values
Saturation Dynamic	Limit input signal to dynamic upper and lower saturation values
Variable Pulse Generator	Generate ideal, time varying pulse signal (Since R2020b)
Wrap To Zero	Set output to zero if input is above threshold
