This device allows current to flow in both directions but it is capable to block voltage only in forward direction (from the positive/collector to negative/emitter port). Its states depends on gate control signal (controlled commutation) and on the conditions imposed by the external circuit.
Parameters
Internal on resistance (Ron) | The diode internal on resistance, in ohms (Ω). |
|---|---|
Internal off Resistance (Roff) | The diode internal off resistance, in ohms (Ω). |
Discrete-time switch conductance (Gs) | The signal to control on/off state of the switch. See How to tune discrete-time switch condutance for detailed explanation. |
Switch admittance (Gs) | The discrete-time switch conductance, in S. |
Relaxation (Relax) | The relaxation parameter of the switch. Values can range between 0.1 for maximum performance or 10 for maximum stability. See How to tune single switch parameters for detailed explanation. |
Damping resistance (Rdamp) | Damping resistance value, in ohms (Ω). See How to tune single switch parameters for detailed explanation. |
Electrical Ports
From top to bottom, the electrical ports are the positive and negative ports of the source respectively named p1 and n1
Inputs
g | Digital input controlling the gate. This input could be assigned to a digital input channel or a signal coming from Simulink or HYPERSIM. |
