Set/Reset Switch
Purpose
Ideal switch with RS-flipflop behavior.
Library
Switches
Description
This component provides an ideal short or open circuit between its two electrical
terminals. The switch closes when the closing gate signal (the upper input in the
component icon) becomes non-zero. It opens when the opening gate signal (the lower
input) becomes non-zero. The Set/Reset Switch provides the basis for all other
switches and power semiconductor models in PLECS.
Parameters and Dialog Box
-
Width
- The width of the component. This affects both the width of the electrical
ports and the width of the gate input signal. The default is 1.
-
Initial conductivity
- Initial conduction state of the switch. The switch is initially
open if the parameter evaluates to zero, otherwise closed. This parameter may
either be a scalar or a vector with the width of the component. The default
value is 0.
Probe Signals
-
Switch conductivity
- Conduction state of the switch. The signal outputs 0 if the
switch is open, and 1 if it is closed.
