Inputs/Outputs

datatype_icon

input

Input signal.

This input accepts a double-precision, floating-point number or an array of double-precision, floating-point numbers.

datatype_icon

start of dead zone

Low end of the dead zone.

This input accepts a double-precision, floating-point number or an array of double-precision, floating-point numbers.

Default value: 0

datatype_icon

end of dead zone

High end of the dead zone.

This input accepts a double-precision, floating-point number or an array of double-precision, floating-point numbers.

Default value: 0

datatype_icon

output

Output signal.

This output can return a double-precision, floating-point number or an array of double-precision, floating-point numbers.

Algorithm Definition for the Dead Zone Function

The following equation defines the dead zone function.

y = { 0               if ⁢   s ≤ u ≤ e u − s ⁢             if ⁢   u < s   u − e ⁢             if ⁢   u > e   y = { 0               if ⁢   s ≤ u ≤ e u − s ⁢             if ⁢   u < s   u − e ⁢             if ⁢   u > e  

where

  • u is the input signal
  • y is the output signal
  • s is the low end of the dead zone
  • e is the high end of the dead zone
