The intermediate switch has four switching contact pins p1, p2, n1, and n2. The switching behaviour is controlled by the input signal control. If control is true, the pin p1 is connected to pin n2, and the pin p2 is connected to the pin n2. Otherwise, the pin p1 is connected to n1, and p2 is connected to n2.
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.
Use with care: This switch is only intended to be used for structural changes, not for fast switching sequences, due to the quasi-static formulation.
