8.2.4. Unit

This example shows how to use units

import PySpice.Logging.Logging as Logging
logger = Logging.setup_logging()


from PySpice import Circuit


from PySpice.Unit import *

foo = kilo(1) # unit less

resistance_unit = U_Ω

resistance1 = u_kΩ(1)
resistance1 = u_kOhm(1) # ASCII variant

resistance1 = 1@u_kΩ   # using Python 3.5 syntax
resistance1 = 1 @u_kΩ  # space doesn't matter
resistance1 = 1 @ u_kΩ #

resistance2 = as_Ω(resistance1) # check unit

resistances = u_kΩ(range(1, 11)) # same as [u_kΩ(x) for x in range(1, 11)]
resistances = range(1, 11)@u_kΩ  # using Python 3.5 syntax

capacitance = u_uF(200)
inductance = u_mH(1)
temperature = u_Degree(25)

voltage = resistance1 * u_mA(1) # compute unit

frequency = u_ms(20).frequency
period = u_Hz(50).period
pulsation = frequency.pulsation
pulsation = period.pulsation

According to the Python operator precedence, division operators have a higher priority than the matrix multiplication operator. In consequence you must had parenthesis to perform something like (10@u_s) / (2@_us).

circuit = Circuit('Resistor Bridge')

resistance = 10@u_kΩ
print(float(resistance))
print(str(resistance))

circuit.R(4, 3, circuit.gnd, 2@u_kΩ)
circuit.R(5, 3, 2, 2@u_kΩ)
