Compare To Constant

Determine how signal compares to specified constant

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

Description

The Compare To Constant block compares an input signal to a constant. Specify the constant in the Constant value parameter. Specify how the input is compared to the constant value with the Operator parameter.

Ports

Input

expand all

`Port_1` — Input signal
scalar

Input signal, specified as a scalar, is compared with zero.The block first converts its Constant value parameter to the input data type, and then performs the specified operation.

Output

expand all

`Port_1` — Output signal
0 | 1

The output is 0 if the comparison is false, and 1 if it is true.

Data Types: uint8 | Boolean

Parameters

expand all

`Operator` — Logical operator
<= (default) | == | ~= | < | >= | >

This parameter can have these values:

== — Determine whether the input is equal to the specified constant.
~= — Determine whether the input is not equal to the specified constant.
< — Determine whether the input is less than the specified constant.
<= — Determine whether the input is less than or equal to the specified constant.
> — Determine whether the input is greater than the specified constant.
>= — Determine whether the input is greater than or equal to the specified constant.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: relop

Type: character vector

Values: '==' | '~='| '<' |'<='| '>='| '>'

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).
