ramp()

Ramp function

Syntax
ramp(time)

Name Description Range Type Required
time program variable time [0, ∞) real yes

Examples

This example assumes that a transient simulation is performed using:
StartTime = 0, StopTime = 3ns, MaxTimeStep = 50ps
This expression produces a ramp pulse with value = 0 at time = 0, and time at time > 0:
value = ramp(time)

Notes/Equations

This expression creates a ramp function. It can be used to create a current or voltage ramp wave using the ItUserDef or VtUserDef time domain sources.
The output is calculated as follows:
