14.4.38. MinMaxCtrl

The MinMaxCtrl block applies a minimum or maximum operator to the inputs depending on the Boolean signal it receives on the control port.
Table 221.  Functions of the MinMaxCtrl Block
s Function Description
0 Minimum Output a if a < b, otherwise output b.
1 Maximum Output a if a > b, otherwise output b.

The Output data type mode mask parameter applies only if the inputs a and b are fixed-point format.

Table 222.  Parameters for the MinMaxCtrl Block
Parameter Description
Output data type mode Determines how the block sets its output data type:
  • Inherit via internal rule: the number of integer and fractional bits is the maximum of the number of bits in the input data types.
  • Specify via dialog: you can set the output type of the block explicitly using additional fields that are available.This option reinterprets the output bit pattern from the LSB up according to the specified type.
  • Boolean: the output type is Boolean.
Output data type Specifies the output data type. For example, sfix(16), uint(8).
Output scaling value Specifies the output scaling value. For example, 2^-15.
