mdlxLibrary

Create Modelithics library object

Since R2023a

expand all in page

    Description

    Use the mdlxLibrary object to create an object that supports Modelithics SELECT+ Library™ for passive components. Before you create a mdlxLibrary object, you must set up the Modelithics® library using the mdlxSetup function.

    Note

    This object requires a Modelithics SELECT+ Library or a Modelithics Exemplar Library license. For more information, see Modelithics Libraries for MATLAB.

    Creation

    Syntax

    Lobj = mdlxLibrary
    Lobj = mdlxLibrary(LibPath)

    Description

    Lobj = mdlxLibrary creates a Modelithics library object.

    example

    Lobj = mdlxLibrary(LibPath) creates a Modelithics library object with the Modelithics library located specified in LibPath and sets the LibraryPath property.

    Input Arguments

    expand all

    Modelithics library folder path, specified as a string scalar.

    Example: mdlx = mdlxLibrary('C:\MDLX\SELECT')

    Properties

    Set up Modelithics SELECT+ Library™.

    mdlxSetup('C:\mdlx_library\SELECT')

    Create a new Modelithics library object related to the library you set up.

    mdlx = mdlxLibrary;

    Search the library for a component that you can mount on the Rogers4350B4mil substrate with the vendor name ATC.

    search(mdlx,'Rogers4350B4mil',Vendor='ATC')

    The ATC 600S capacitor on a 4 mil Roger 4350B substrate fits the search criteria. Create a Modelithics component object that matches these characteristics.

    pobj = mdlxPart(mdlx,'600S','Capacitors','ATC','Rogers4350B4mil',Value=1.2e-12);

    Create a circuit named C_ATC_600S_Rogers4350B4mil.

    hckt = circuit('C_ATC_600S_Rogers4350B4mil')

    ckt-mdlx.png

    Add the Modelithics component to the circuit.

    add(hckt,[1 2],pobj);

    Set the ports of the circuit. 

    setports(hckt, [1 0],[2 0]);

    Display the Modelithics component.

    disp(pobj)

    Calculate the S-parameters of the circuit.

    S = sparameters(hckt,freq);

    Plot the S-parameters characteristics.
