I used discrete derivative blocks in my model. Discontinuous signals are fed to these derivative blocks and sometimes I get peaks in the output(Impulse) and would like to avoid it. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance for the help.

Its usually recommended to feed only smooth signals to derivative blocks for the same issue you are mentioning here. One way to avoid this is to use a smoothing filter (low pass) before the discrete derivative so that this sudden change is evened out. Depending on your application, a moving average kind of technique might also work.
