Voltage Controlled Capacitor

Syntax

Preferred syntax:
.VCCAP label n+ n- nc+ nc- expression
Alternate syntax:
Gxxxxxxx n+ n- VCCAP nc+ nc- expression

Purpose

Voltage controlled capacitor.

Probes

All probes that apply to ordinary capacitors also apply here.

Comments

N+ and n- are the positive and negative element (output) nodes, respectively. Nc+ and nc- are the positive and negative controlling nodes, respectively. Value is the transfactor in Farads per volt.

The simulator will faithfully give you a negative capacitor if it seems appropriate. Usually, this part is used with a behavioral modeling function, like PWL, which allows you to specify a table of capacitance vs. voltage.
