Set/Reset Switch
Purpose
Ideal switch with RS-flipflop behavior.
Library
Electrical / Switches
Description
This component provides an ideal short or open circuit between its two electrical
terminals. The switch closes when the closing signal (the upper input in the
component icon) becomes non-zero. It opens when the opening 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
-
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 corresponding to the implicit width of the
component. The default value is 0.
-
Thermal description
- Switching losses, conduction losses and thermal equivalent
circuit of the component. For more information see chapter Thermal Modeling.
-
Initial temperature
- Temperature of all thermal capacitors in the equivalent
Cauer network at simulation start. This parameter may either be a scalar or a
vector corresponding to the implicit width of the component.
Probe Signals
-
Switch conductivity
- Conduction state of the switch. The signal outputs 0 if the
switch is open, and 1 if it is closed.
-
Switch temperature
- Temperature of the first thermal capacitor in the equivalent
Cauer network.
-
Switch conduction loss
- Continuous thermal conduction losses in watt (W). Only
defined if the component is placed on a heat sink.
-
Switch switching loss
- Instantaneous thermal switching losses in joule (J). Only
defined if the component is placed on a heat sink.
