Discontinuous

DeadZone Block

Output is zero within a specified band around zero; linear outside the band

# Dead Zone Block

Description

Implements a dead zone (dead band) nonlinearity. The output is zero when the input is within the specified band. Outside the band, the output is the input shifted by the band limit, maintaining continuity.

Mathematical Model

\begin{cases} u(t) - \text{upper}, & u(t) > \text{upper} \\ 0, & \text{lower} \le u(t) \le \text{upper} \\ u(t) - \text{lower}, & u(t) < \text{lower} \end{cases}

Parameters

lowerLimit / upperLimit

Define the dead band boundaries. Within this range, output is zero.

upperLimit

Type: number (Default: 0.5)

Upper Limit parameter description placeholder.

Remarks

Models mechanical backlash, sensor insensitivity, and friction zones.
Output is continuous (no jumps at the boundaries).
