Ideal Switch

This device allows current to flow in both directions and can also block the voltage in both directions. Its states depends only on gate control signal (controlled commutation).

An Ideal switch is a switch that neither consumes nor dissipates any power from its sources.

Parameters

Internal resistance (R_on)	The diode internal on resistance, in ohms (Ω).
Internal off resistance (R_off)	The diode internal off resistance, in ohms (Ω).
Gate control signal (g)	The signal to control on/off state of the switch.
Discrete-time switch conductance (G_s)	The discrete-time switch conductance, in S. See How to tune discrete-time switch condutance for detailed explanation.
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 (R_damp)	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.
