3.25  Y: Admittance

3.25.1  Syntax

Yxxxxxxx n+ n– value
Yxxxxxxx n+ n– expression
.ADMittance label n+ n– expression

3.25.2  Purpose

Admittance, or general voltage controlled dissipative element.

3.25.3  Comments

N+ and n– are the positive and negative element nodes, respectively. Value is the admittance in Mhos.

The resistor (type R) differs from the admittance (type Y) in that the resistor is a current controlled element, and the conductance is a voltage controlled element, in addition to the obvious use of conductance (1/R) instead of resistance.
