Notes

The content of the sub-circuit file (MULTV.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.

*Multiply Voltages
.SUBCKT MULTV 1 2 3
BX 3 0 V=V(1)*V(2)
.ENDS MULTV

Examples

Consider the circuit in the image above, which uses math function components to implement the trigonometric base equation:

Sin2(v) + Cos2(v) = 1

With respect to the MULTV components, the entries in the SPICE netlist will be:

*Schematic Netlist:
XMcos2 COS COS COSSQ MULTV
XMsin2 SIN SIN SINSQ MULTV
.
.
*Models and Subcircuit:
.SUBCKT MULTV 1 2 3
BX 3 0 V=V(1)*V(2)
.ENDS MULTV

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
