The component represents an electrical capacitance. Within the dialog you can choose a linear,
nonlinear, or nonlinear dual capacitor type.
Dialog Settings
� «Capacitance [F]»
The Linear Capacitor is selected. Common parameter type. Enter a numerical value, a variable,
or an expression in the text box or use the pin to connect a quantity. You can also specify
an initial voltage.
� � «Use pin»
If the box is checked, the capacitance is defined by the quantity connected to the pin, otherwise
the value in the text box is used.
� «Nonlinear v=f(q)»
The Nonlinear Capacitor is selected. Open the characteristic dialog or use the pin to define a
characteristic. You can also specify an initial voltage. See also “Separate Component Characteristic”
on page 297.
� � «Use pin»
If the box is checked, the capacitor is defined by the characteristic connected to the pin, otherwise
by the settings in the dialog .
� «Nonlinear C=f(v)»
The Nonlinear dual Capacitor is selected. Open the characteristic dialog or use the pin to define
a characteristic. You can also specify an initial voltage. See also “Separate Component
Characteristic” on page 297.
� � «Use pin»
If the box is checked, the capacitor is defined by the characteristic connected to the pin, otherwise
by the settings in the dialog .
