Capacitor (Coupled)

Description

This component provides two or more capacitively coupled capacitors.

The size $n$ of the matrix corresponds to the number of capacitors. The diagonal coefficients are the self-capacitance terms and the off-diagonal coefficients are the coupling terms.

The branch currents are defined by:

$i_a = \sum_b C_{a,b}\frac{dv_b}{dt}$

where $v_b$ is the voltage from pin CbP to pin CbN.
