Description | The model describes a PWL voltage source in the same way as in SPICE (SPICE3 Version 3f3 User's Manual). The parameter WAVE is a one dimensional real array with time value pairs T1, V1, T2, V2, ... Each pair of values Ti, Vi specifies that the value of the source is Vi at time Ti. The value of the source at intermediate values is determined by using linear interpolation. The times must be given in ascending order.
