I then input 100k as the volt res conversion factor and voi la.
Voltage controlled resistor cadence. In this case we have a 5 ohm resistor. I v curves for a resistor and diode illustrating their linear and nonlinear resistance respectively. The anl misc lib library file contains subcircuit models for voltage controlled reactances and admittances. Two types of fets are often used.
A simple addition to the above resistor model gives you a voltage controlled resistor. The jfet and the mosfet there are both floating voltage controlled resistors and grounded floating.

Since the load is in series with the resistor r the output current is always proportional to the input voltage regardless of the load resistance within limits of course e g you won t be able to drive 10 ma through a 1 mω load unless you can find amplifiers that accept supply voltages up to 10 000 v or so. A voltage controlled resistor vcr is a three terminal active device with one input port and two output ports. Conventionally implementation in circuit simulators of resistor models that can support zero or small valued resistances is done by changing the model formulation from i v r which is preferred for nodal analysis but cannot be used for r 0 to v ir for small values of resistance or by collapsing the nodes between which the resistor is connected for r 0. I solved the problem by using a voltage controlled resistor vcres from the analoglib on cadence and tying the positive node to vh and the negative terminal to vl.
V i x r x vc. All you need is a controlling voltage to multiply the resistor value. The input port voltage controls the value of the resistor between the output ports. From this curve we can easily extract the resistance of the resistor from the slope of the line.
This can be modelled using a voltage controlled current source with voltage controlled by table based voltage controlled current source. The image below shows i v curves for a resistor and a diode driven with a dc voltage source. These can be used to make voltage controlled resistors and capacitors.
