Version 1.1 (R2008b) SimElectronics Software

This table summarizes what's new in Version 1.1 (R2008b):

New features and changes introduced in this version are:

• New CMOS Logic Gate Blocks

• New Piezo Stack Block

• New Relay Block

• New Fuse Block

• New NMOS and PMOS Blocks

New CMOS Logic Gate Blocks

The Logic library (in the Integrated Circuits library) contains blocks for modeling CMOS logic gates behaviorally. The library contains these new blocks:

• CMOS AND

• CMOS Buffer

• CMOS NAND

• CMOS NOR

• CMOS NOT

• CMOS OR

• CMOS XOR

New Piezo Stack Block

The Actuators & Drivers library now contains a Piezo Stack block to model the electrical and force characteristics of a piezoelectric stacked actuator.

New Relay Block

The Passive Devices library now contains a Relay block to model the resistive and delay characteristics of a relay controlled by an external physical signal.

New Fuse Block

The Passive Devices library now contains a Fuse block to model the following fuse characteristics:

• Resistance.

• Rated current at which the fuse blows when exceeded for a specified amount of time.

resistance and

New NMOS and PMOS Blocks

The SPICE-Compatible Semiconductors library (in the Semiconductor Devices library) now contains NMOS and PMOS blocks to model the electrical characteristics of SPICE Level-1 MOSFET devices.
