Pin is the basic electric connector. It includes the voltage which consists between the pin and the ground node. The ground node is the node of (any) ground device (Modelica.Electrical.Basic.Ground). Furthermore, the pin includes the current, which is considered to be positive if it is flowing at the pin into the device.

Connectors PositivePin and NegativePin are nearly identical. The only difference is that the icons are different in order to identify more easily the pins of a component. Usually, connector PositivePin is used for the positive and connector NegativePin for the negative pin of an electrical component.

The AbsoluteSensor is a partial model for converting values that can be calculated from one pin connector into a real valued signal. The special calculation has to be described in the model which inherits the AbsoluteSensor. It is often used in sensor devices. To be a true sensor the modeller has to take care that the sensor model does not influence the electrical behavior to be measured.

This is an ideal semiconductor which is
open (off), if it is reversed biased (voltage drop less than 0)
closed (on), if it is conducting (current > 0).
This is the behaviour if all parameters are exactly zero.
Note, there are circuits, where this ideal description
with zero resistance and zero conductance is not possible.
In order to prevent singularities during switching, the opened
semiconductor has a small conductance Gon
and the closed semiconductor has a low resistance Roff which is default.
The parameter Vknee which is the forward threshold voltage, allows to displace
the knee point
along the Gon-characteristic until v = Vknee.
Please note:
In case of useHeatPort=true the temperature dependence of the electrical
behavior is not modelled.

The ideal switch has a positive pin p and a negative pin n.
The switching behaviour is controlled by the boolean signal off.
If off is true, pin p is not connected with negative pin n.
Otherwise, pin p is connected with negative pin n.
In order to prevent singularities during switching, the opened
switch has a (very low) conductance Goff
and the closed switch has a (very low) resistance Ron.
The limiting case is also allowed, i.e., the resistance Ron of the
closed switch could be exactly zero and the conductance Goff of the
open switch could be also exactly zero. Note, there are circuits,
where a description with zero Ron or zero Goff is not possible.
Please note:
In case of useHeatPort=true the temperature dependence of the electrical
behavior is not modelled. The parameters are not temperature dependent.

This model is an extension to the IdealSwitch.
The basic model interrupts the current through the switch in an infinitesimal time span. If an inductive circuit is connected, the voltage across the switch is limited only by numerics. In order to give a better idea for the voltage across the switch, a simple arc model is added:
When the Boolean variable off
signals to open the switch, a voltage across the opened switch is impressed.
This voltage starts with V0
(simulating the voltage drop of the arc roots), then rising with slope dVdt
(simulating the rising voltage of an extending arc) until a maximum voltage Vmax
is reached.
| voltage Vmax | +----- | / | / V0 | + | | +---+-------- time
This arc voltage tends to lower the current following through the switch; it depends on the connected circuit, when the arc is quenched.
Once the arc is quenched, i.e., the current flowing through the switch gets zero, the equation for the off-state is activated
i=Goff*v
.
When the Boolean variable off
signals to close the switch again, the switch is closed immediately,
i.e., the equation for the on-state is activated v=Ron*i
.
Please note: In an AC circuit, at least the arc quenches when the next natural zero-crossing of the current occurs.
In a DC circuit, the arc will not quench if the arc voltage is not sufficient that a zero-crossing of the current occurs.
Please note:
In case of useHeatPort=true the temperature dependence of the electrical
behavior is not modelled. The parameters are not temperature dependent.
