Notes

The content of the sub-circuit file (DIVI.ckt) associated with this model is shown below. The formula/equation used to provide this function is declared as part of the netlist-specific entry, under the .SUBCKT line of the file.

*Divide Currents .SUBCKT DIVI 1 2 3 4 5 6 VA 1 2 0 VB 3 4 0 BX 6 5 I=I(VA)/I(VB) .ENDS DIVI

Examples

Consider the circuit in the image above. With respect to the DIVI component, the entries in the SPICE netlist will be:

*Schematic Netlist: XMdiv NetMdiv_1 0 NetMdiv_3 0 TAN 0 DIVI . . *Models and Subcircuit: .SUBCKT DIVI 1 2 3 4 5 6 VA 1 2 0 VB 3 4 0 BX 6 5 I=I(VA)/I(VB) .ENDS DIVI

The effect of the function can be seen in the resultant waveforms obtained by running a transient analysis of the circuit.

In this example, the following analysis parameters on the Transient/Fourier Analysis page of the Analyses Setup dialog have been used:

Transient Start Time - set to 0.000
Transient Stop Time - set to 50.00m
Transient Step Time - set to 200.0u
Transient Max Step Time - set to 200.0u
