12.2. Dependent Delay Library

Blocks from the DSP Builder advanced blockset Dependent Delay library implement delays outside of scheduled models, where the delay may depend on the latency of another model.

The ChannelDependentDelay block provides a sample delay on the connected signals. DSP Builder processes the signals similarly to a model that includes ChannelIn and ChannelOut blocks. DSP Builder identifies a specific valid and channel signal, then an arbitrary number of data lines.

The GPDependentDelay block is deprecated. Do not use this block in new designs.

The GPDependentDelay block provides a sample delay on the connected signals. DSP Builder processes the signals in a similar way to a model employing GPIn and GPOut blocks.

The value of the sample delay may depend on the latency of referenced model, refer to the SynthesisInfo block.

Table 62.  Parameters for the ChannelDependentDelay and GPDependentDelay Blocks
Parameter Description
Number of Data Signals

Specify the number of input and output (d and q) connections for the block.

DSP Builder passes each input to the corresponding output and delays it by the latency constraint.

Latency Constraint This option allows you to select the type of constraint and to specify its value. The value can be a workspace variable or an expression but must evaluate to a positive integer.

You can select the following types of constraint:

  • >: Greater than
  • >=: Greater than or equal to
  • =: Equal to
  • <=: Less than or equal to
  • <: Less than

Select either + or - and enter an expression (refer to Dependent Latency Expressions).

Local Reset-Minimization

Turn on to allow DSP Builder to apply reset minimization to the delays. You must also turn on Global Reset Minimization.

The values are:

  • Off. Default, no reset minimization.
  • On. DSP Builder applies no reset to all delay stages.
