Subsections

Y: Admittance

Syntax

Yxxxxxxx n+ n- value
Yxxxxxxx n+ n- expression
.ADMittance label n+ n- expression

Purpose

Admittance, or general voltage controlled dissipative element.

Comments

N+ and n- are the positive and negative element nodes, respectively. Value is the admittance in Mhos.

The resistor (type R) differs from the admittance (type Y) in that the resistor is a current controlled element, and the conductance is a voltage controlled element, in addition to the obvious use of conductance ($1/R$) instead of resistance.
