If any zero crossings are detected, the simulink software interpolates between the previous and current values of each variable that changed sign to estimate the times of the zero crossings, that is, the discontinuities. It can also be called as the sine to square wave converter. Note that zero crossing detection is something that only works in simulation because it involves the possibility of going backwards in time looking for the zero crossing point.

This module can detect zero crossing accurately, while preventing the parasitic esd diode to conduct when interfacing with the highvoltage ac input signals. The higher this value is set, the more smaller features will be smoothed out of existence, and hence fewer zero crossings will be produced. It is used for detecting the zero crossings of ac signals. Log edge detection zero crossings always lie on closed contours and so the output from the zero crossing detector is usually a binary image with single pixel thickness lines showing the positions of the zero crossing points. In other words, a large jump across zero is an edge, while a small jump is not. In this example, the zero crossing, corresponding to the edge in the original.
