Rate Limiter

Purpose

Limit rising and falling rate of change

Library

Control / Discontinuous

Description

pict

The Rate Limiter restricts the first derivative of the signal passing through it. While the rate of change is within the specified limits, the output follows the input. When the rate of change exceeds the rising or falling limit, the output falls behind the input with a fixed slope until output and input become equal again.

Parameters

Rising rate limit
The maximum rate of change of the output signal (typically positive).
Falling rate limit
The minimum rate of change of the output signal (typically negative).

Probe Signals

Input
The input signal.
Output
The output signal.
