Controlled resistance in parallel with controlled capacitance
Electrical / Passive Components
This component models a variable resistor with a variable capacitor connected in parallel. The resistance and capacitance are determined by the signals fed into the inputs of the component. The current through this component is determined by the equation
The control signal for the capacitor must provide the values of both and
in
the following form:
. It is the responsibility of the
user to provide the appropriate signals for a particular purpose. For detailed
information see the Variable Capacitor.
If the component has multiple phases you can choose to include the capacitive
coupling of the phases. In this case the control signal vector must contain the
elements of the capacitance matrix (row by row) and their derivatives with respect to
time. The control signal thus has a width of ,
being the number of
phases.
