Description
The Discrete Transfer Fcn block implements the z-transform transfer function as follows:
where m+1 and n+1 are the number of numerator and denominator coefficients, respectively. num and den contain the coefficients of the numerator and denominator in descending powers of z. num can be a vector or matrix, while den must be a vector. The order of the denominator must be greater than or equal to the order of the numerator.
Specify the coefficients of the numerator and denominator polynomials in descending powers of z. This block lets you use polynomials in z to represent a discrete system, a method that control engineers typically use. Conversely, the Discrete Filter block lets you use polynomials in z-1 (the delay operator) to represent a discrete system, a method that signal processing engineers typically use. The two methods are identical when the numerator and denominator polynomials have the same length.
The Discrete Transfer Fcn block applies the z-transform transfer function to each independent channel of the input. The Input processing parameter allows you to specify whether the block treats each column of the input as an individual channel (frame-based processing) or each element of the input as an individual channel (sample-based processing). To perform frame-based processing, you must have a DSP System Toolbox™ license.
Specifying Initial States
Use the Initial states parameter to specify the initial filter states. The initial states you specify are the initial conditions of the unit delay blocks that are used in the filter digram implementing the discrete transfer function.
To determine the number of initial states you must specify and how to specify them, use the following tables.

| 1 |

When the Initial states is a scalar, the block initializes all filter
states to the same scalar value. To initialize all states to zero, enter
0
. When the Initial states is a vector
or a matrix, each vector or matrix element specifies a unique initial state for a
corresponding delay element in a corresponding channel:
The vector length must equal the number of delay elements in the filter,
M = max(number of zeros, number of poles)
.The matrix must have the same number of rows as the number of delay elements in the filter,
M = max(number of zeros, number of poles)
. The matrix must also have one column for each channel of the input signal.
The following example shows the relationship between the initial filter output and the initial input and state. Given an initial input u1, the first output y1 is related to the initial state [x1, x2] and initial input by as follows:
Examples
Designing a High Angle of Attack Pitch Mode Control
Use the Control System Toolbox™ and Simulink® Control Design™ to interact with Simulink to design a digital pitch control for the aircraft. In this example, we will design the controller to permit the aircraft to operate at a high angle of attack with minimal pilot workload.

When you set the Input
processing parameter to Columns as channels
(frame based)
, the block supports variable-size input
signals, that is, you can change the frame size (number of rows) of the
signal during simulation but the number of channels (columns) must
remain constant. (since R2024a)

Programmatic Use

Saturate on integer overflow — Method of overflow action
off
(default) | on
Specify whether overflows saturate or wrap.
on
— Overflows saturate to either the minimum or maximum value that the data type can represent.off
— Overflows wrap to the appropriate value that the data type can represent.
For example, the maximum value that the signed 8-bit integer int8
can represent is 127. Any block operation result greater than this maximum value causes
overflow of the 8-bit integer.
With this parameter selected, the block output saturates at 127. Similarly, the block output saturates at a minimum output value of -128.
With this parameter cleared, the software interprets the overflow-causing value as
int8
, which can produce an unintended result. For example, a block result of 130 (binary 1000 0010) expressed asint8
is -126.
Tips
Consider selecting this parameter when your model has a possible overflow and you want explicit saturation protection in the generated code.
Consider clearing this parameter when you want to optimize efficiency of your generated code. Clearing this parameter also helps you to avoid overspecifying how a block handles out-of-range signals. For more information, see Troubleshoot Signal Range Errors.
When you select this parameter, saturation applies to every internal operation on the block, not just the output or result.
In general, the code generation process can detect when overflow is not possible. In this case, the code generator does not produce saturation code.
Programmatic Use
To set the block parameter value programmatically, use
the set_param
function.
Parameter: | SaturateOnIntegerOverflow |
Values: | 'off' (default) | 'on' |

Block Characteristics
More About
Model Coverage
If you have a Simulink
Coverage™ license, the Discrete Transfer Fcn block receives decision
coverage if you set the External reset block parameter to any
option except for None
. If your model uses a State Control (HDL Coder) block, you cannot
collect coverage for external reset port when the State control
parameter is Synchronous
.
Decision coverage measures a true outcome for time steps where the block resets and a false outcome for time steps where the block does not reset. To receive 100% decision coverage, the block must reset for at least one time step and not reset for at least one time step.
If you select the Saturation on integer overflow (Simulink Coverage) parameter, the Discrete Transfer Fcn block receives saturation on integer overflow coverage. For more information, see Saturate on Integer Overflow Coverage (Simulink Coverage).

ConstMultiplierOptimization | Canonical signed digit (CSD) or factored CSD optimization. The
default is |
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
|
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
|
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
|
Native Floating Point | |
---|---|
HandleDenormals | Specify whether you want HDL Coder to insert additional logic to handle denormal numbers in your design.
Denormal numbers are numbers that have magnitudes less than the smallest floating-point
number that can be represented without leading zeros in the mantissa. The default is
|
LatencyStrategy | Specify whether to map the blocks in your design to
|
MantissaMultiplyStrategy | Specify how to implement the mantissa multiplication operation during code generation.
By using different settings, you can control the DSP usage on the target FPGA device.
The default is |
Double data types are not supported for this block. Use single data types instead.
Frame, matrix, and vector input data types are not supported.
The leading denominator coefficient (a0) must be 1 or -1.
Setting the data type as
Inherit: Inherit via internal rule
is not supported.
The Discrete Transfer Fcn block is excluded from the following optimizations:
Resource sharing
Distributed pipelining
PLC Code Generation
Generate Structured Text code using Simulink® PLC Coder™.
Fixed-Point Conversion
Design and simulate fixed-point systems using Fixed-Point Designer™.
This block only supports signed fixed-point data types.
Version History
Introduced before R2006aR2024b: View filter response
Click the View Filter Response button to visualize the frequency response of the filter that you specify in the block dialog box.
R2024a: The Discrete Transfer Fcn block supports variable-size input signals
The Discrete Transfer Fcn block supports variable-size input
signals when you set the Input processing parameter to
Columns as channels (frame based)
.
When the input is a variable-size signal, you can change the frame size (number of rows) of the signal during simulation but the number of channels (columns) must remain constant.
R2023b: Conditional display of the Sample time parameter
The Discrete Transfer Fcn block no longer displays the Sample
time parameter in the block parameters dialog box by default. The
parameter is visible only if you set the sample time to a value other the default
value (-1
) at the command line or in an existing model. For more
information, see Blocks for Which Sample Time Is Not Recommended.
