sint

Create a MATLAB structure describing a signed integer data type

Syntax

• a = sint(TotalBits)
  

Description

sint(TotalBits) returns a MATLAB structure that describes the data type of a signed integer with a word size given by TotalBits.

sint is automatically called when a signed integer is specified in a block dialog box.

The default binary point for this data type is assumed to lie to the right of all bits.

Examples

Define a 16-bit signed integer data type:

• a = sint(16)
  a = 
         Class: 'INT'
      IsSigned: 1
      MantBits: 16
