Description

The Exponential Voltage Source block represents a voltage source whose output voltage value is an exponential pulse as a function of time and is independent of the current through the source. The following equations describe the output current as a function of time:

Vout(0≤Time≤TDR))=V1Vout(TDR<Time≤TDF)=V1+(V2-V1)*(1-e-(Time-TDR)/TR)Vout(TDF<Time)=V1+(V2-V1)*(e-(Time-TDF)/TF-e-(Time-TDR)/TR)

where:

  • V1 is the Initial value, V1 parameter value.

  • V2 is the Pulse value, V2 parameter value.

  • TDR is the Rise delay time, TDR parameter value.

  • TR is the Rise time, TR parameter value.

  • TDF is the Fall delay time, TDF parameter value.

  • TF is the Fall time, TF parameter value.
