Simulink / Logic and Bit Operations
HDL Coder / Logic and Bit Operations

Description

The Detect Increase block determines if an input is strictly greater than its previous value.

The output is true (equal to 1) when the input signal is greater than its previous value.
The output is false (equal to 0) when the input signal is less than or equal to its previous value.

This block supports only discrete sample times.

Ports

Input

`Port_1` — Input signal
scalar | vector | matrix

Input signal, specified as a scalar, vector, or matrix.

Output

expand all

`Port_1` — Output signal
scalar | vector | matrix

Output signal, detecting an increase in signal value, specified as a scalar, vector, or matrix.

The output is true (equal to 1) when the input signal is greater than its previous value.
The output is false (equal to 0) when the input signal is less than or equal to its previous value.

Data Types: uint8 | Boolean

Parameters

expand all

`Initial condition` — Initial condition of previous input
`0.0` (default) | scalar | vector | matrix

Set the initial condition for the previous input U/z.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: vinit

Type: character vector

Values: scalar | vector | matrix

Default: '0.0'

`Input processing` — Specify sample- or frame-based processing
`Elements as channels (sample based)` (default) | `Columns as channels (frame based)`

Specify whether the block performs sample- or frame-based processing:

Columns as channels (frame based) — Treat each column of the input as a separate channel (frame-based processing).
Note
Frame-based processing requires a DSP System Toolbox™ license.
For more information, see Sample- and Frame-Based Concepts (DSP System Toolbox).
Elements as channels (sample based) — Treat each element of the input as a separate channel (sample-based processing).

Use Input processing to specify whether the block performs sample- or frame-based processing. The block accepts frame-based signals for the input u. All other input signals must be sample-based.

Input Signal u	Input Processing Mode	Block Works?
Sample based	Sample based	Yes
Frame based	Sample based	No, produces an error
Sample based	Frame based	Yes
Frame based	Frame based	Yes

For more information about these two processing modes, see Sample- and Frame-Based Concepts (DSP System Toolbox).

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: InputProcessing

Type: character vector

Values:

'Columns as channels
                        (frame based)'

'Elements as channels (sample

Default:

'Elements as channels
                        (sample based)'

`Output data type` — Output data type
`boolean` (default) | `uint8`

Specify the output data type as boolean or uint8.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: OutDataTypeStr

Type: character vector

Values: 'boolean' | 'uint8'

Default: 'boolean'

Extended Capabilities

C/C++ Code Generation
Generate C and C++ code using Simulink® Coder™.

Generated code relies on memcpy or memset functions (string.h) under certain conditions.

HDL Code Generation
Generate Verilog and VHDL code for FPGA and ASIC designs using HDL Coder™.

HDL Coder™ provides additional configuration options that affect HDL implementation and synthesized logic.

HDL Architecture

This block has a single, default HDL architecture.

HDL Block Properties

ConstrainedOutputPipeline	Number of registers to place at the outputs by moving existing delays within your design. Distributed pipelining does not redistribute these registers. The default is `0`. For more details, see ConstrainedOutputPipeline (HDL Coder).
InputPipeline	Number of input pipeline stages to insert in the generated code. Distributed pipelining and constrained output pipelining can move these registers. The default is `0`. For more details, see InputPipeline (HDL Coder).
OutputPipeline	Number of output pipeline stages to insert in the generated code. Distributed pipelining and constrained output pipelining can move these registers. The default is `0`. For more details, see OutputPipeline (HDL Coder).
