The switch is a resistor that varies its resistance value depending on the position of the selector of the switch.
The switch is not quite ideal, in that the resistance can not change from 0 to infinity, but must always have a finite positive value. By proper selection of the RESON and RESOFF resistances, they can be effectively zero and infinity in comparison to other circuit elements.
During the interactive simulation the position of the switch can be changed by clicking on it with the mouse.
Parameters
Parameter | Description | Units | Default |
---|---|---|---|
RESON | On resistance. | Ohms | 10mΩ |
RESOFF | Off resistance. | Ohms | 1GΩ |
TSWITCH | Switching time. Within the specified time, the resistance value varies continuously between the current value and the new value. Must be greater than zero. | s | 1ms |
