Description - Level

This model represents an almost ideal switch. The switch is turned on when the input signal is larger than the threshold value vt and it is turned off when the input signal is smaller or equal to the threshold value vt.

The heart of the model consist of a resistance that can be changed by an input signal from almost zero (on) to a very large value (off). By proper selection of the on and off resistances, they can be effectively zero and infinity in comparison to other circuit elements.

Layout of the switch model.

The equations of the resistance are:

R = if input > vt then Ron else Roff end;

p.u = R * p.i;

Description - Amplitude

This model represents an almost ideal switch. The switch is turned on when the amplitude of the input signal is larger than the threshold value vt and it is turned off when the amplitude of the input signal is smaller or equal to the threshold value vt.

The heart of the model consist of a resistance that can be changed by an input signal from almost zero (on) to a very large value (off). By proper selection of the on and off resistances, they can be effectively zero and infinity in comparison to other circuit elements.

The equations of the resistance are:

R = if abs(input) > vt then Ron else Roff end;

p.u = R * p.i;
