Description
This code model generates "double exponentially" formed current pulses according to
i(t) = inull * (exp(-(t-tdelay)/talpha) - (exp(-(t-tdelay)/tbeta) for t > tdelay
i(t) = 0 for t < tdelay
Minimum is one pulse output (a node pair, or a single node with the other grounded).
Several output node pairs may be defined per code model instance. Parameter tperiod
may then be used to create pulses in sequence. The first pulse is issued in the first
node pair of the node list in the vector [], the second (after time tperiod has elapsed), is injected by the
second node (pair) of the list and so on. The control input ctrl (voltage or current) may be used
to start or repeat the whole sequence, depending on the circuit status. A rising voltage
at ctrl, when crossing the threshold given by ctrlthres, will initiate the sequence (including
tdelay and tperiod).
This model will work in transient analysis.
Example ngspice usage (with control)
aseegen1 ctrl [%id(n1 m1) %id(n2 m2) %id(n1 m1) %id(n2 m2)] seemod1
.model seemod1 seegen (tdelay = 8n tperiod=25n)
Example ngspice usage (without control, parameters as offered by default)
aseegen2 NULL [%id(n1 m1) %id(n5 n6) %id(n6 n7) %i(isingle) ] seemod2
.model seemod2 seegen (tdelay = 0 tperiod=0 ctrlthres=0.5 inull=200u talpha=500p tbeta=20p)
