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 position
Initial position of the switch. The switch is initially in the upper position if the parameter evaluates to zero. For all other values it is in the lower position. This parameter may either be a scalar or a vector with the width of the component. The default value is 0.

Probe Signals

Switch position
State of the internal switches. The signal outputs 0 if the switch is in the upper position, and 1 if it is in the lower position.
