modelFourQuadrantSwitch

A four quadrant switch, conducting positive or negative on-state currents and blocking positive or negative off-state voltages. The switch is implemented as a pair of two voltage biderectional switches, connected in paralel and in opposite directions. Both transistors and diodes are identitcal. Gate driver for the transistors are included.

Extends from ActiveSwitchAb ( An abstract model that defines pins, common to all active switches, derived from this model. Typically 'ctrl', relative to 'gnd', will determine whether the connection between 'p' and 'n' is opened or closed. Current from/to 'ctrl' will typically be negligible. ).
