Is it possible to run the voltage controlled capacitor block as a PSIM instead a SPICE model

Abdelrahman Ali

As the title says, I am trying to simulate non-linear intrinsic switch capacitor models. But I want to simulate in a non-spice model because I will be designing a full system " control, EMI..etc".

 

I intend to use level 1 switches, then augment the terminals with  the non linear caps model, lead inductances..etc. Just thought to share because maybe this setup would crash PSIM engine.

 

Thank you.

You may use PSIM blocks to build the characteristic of a nonlinear component.

The picture below is an example. You may replace the math block with your own equations.
