PVCVS2 - Model polynomial voltage-controlled voltage source with two controlling inputs

Library

SPICE-Compatible Sources

Description

The PVCVS2 (Two-Input Polynomial Voltage-Controlled Voltage Source) block represents a voltage source whose output voltage value is a polynomial function of the voltages across the pairs of controlling input ports. The following equations describes the voltage across the source as a function of time:

where:

• V_in1 is the voltage across the first pair of input ports.

• V_in2 is the voltage across the second pair of input ports.

• p is the Polynomial coefficients parameter value.

The block uses a small conductance internally to prevent numerical simulation issues. The conductance connects the output ports of the device and has a conductance GMIN:

• By default, GMIN matches the Minimum conductance GMIN parameter of the SPICE Environment Parameters block, whose default value is 1e–12.

• To change GMIN, add a SPICE Environment Parameters block to your model and set the Minimum conductance GMIN parameter to the desired value.

Polynomial coefficients

The polynomial coefficients that relate the input voltage to the output voltage, as described in the preceding section. The default value is [ 0 1 1 ].
