The four–state model is proposed for the description of phase transition in ferroelectric crystals of the DMAGaS and DMAAlS type. Thermodynamic functions of the model are obtained in the mean field approximation. The phase transition between paraelectric and ferroelectric phases is investigated. It is established that the order of the phase transitions depends on the relations between model parameters.
