SIMPLORER 6.0 — Manual 79
To describe the nonlinear relation, you must specify a name of an appropriate XY nonlinear
characteristic function. See also “Separate Component Characteristic” on page 297.
X-value: voltage v (independent quantity)
Y-value: Capacitance C (dependent quantity)
To define characteristic data you can do one of the following:
• «Use Pin»; the XY component, connected to the pin, provides the characteristic.
Within the Characteristic dialog:
• «Reference»; the name in the text box specifies an XY element placed on the sheet.
• «Lookup Table»
a. «File Reference»; the name in the text box specifies a variable which refers to a subsheet
port specifying a characteristic file.
b. «Lookup Table»; data pairs, defined in the table, are used for characteristic.
• � «File Name»; if you use an file, data pairs are displayed in the lookup table and used
for characteristic. You can modify the data when necessary.
The primary form CNL of representing nonlinear capacitors leads in general to a better conditioned
set of equations and should be preferred. With regard to an engineering model formulation,
however, the dual form of representation may be more useful. Nevertheless, the
application of the respective element type is up to the user. If numerical problems appear, an
improvement may be obtained with the opposite implementation.
