Switch with Turn ON and OFF times for a simscape model

Hi MATLAB community,

I am trying to find a switch that has the input for turn-on times and turn-off times to simulate switch conductance. I have looked through the Simscape library, I am trying to get a switch that can behave like the attached figure. Any help is appreciated.

Hello Anesu,

To achieve the desired results, you can add an Ideal Switch to your circuit by following the below mentioned steps: -

1. In the Simscape library, navigate to the "Electrical" section.
2. Expand the "Specialized Power Systems" section within "Electrical."
3. Find “Power Electronics” section within “Specialized Power Systems”.
4. Look for the "Ideal Switch" block within the "Power Electronics" section.
