FixPt Sign

Indicate the sign of the input.

Description

The FixPt Sign block is a masked S-function that indicates the sign of the input.

The output is a signed data type with the same number of bits as the input, and with nominal scaling (a slope of one and a bias of zero):

  • The output is 1 when the input is greater than zero.
  • The output is 0 when the input is equal to zero.
  • The output is -1 when the input is less than zero.
