(E or G)-Type Device Netlist Statements
(E or G)_DeviceName <OUT+> <OUT-> <KEYWORD> <EXPRESSION>
If <Keyword> is… Then the <Expression> is…
VALUE {Any mathematical expression accepted by PSpice}
TABLE {<EXPR>} (<VIN1>,<VOUT1>) (<VINn>, <VOUTn)
FREQ {<EXPR>} = (<FREQ1>,<MAG1>,<PHASE1>) (<FREQn>,<MAGn>,<PHASEn>)
LAPLACE {<EXPR>} = {<TRANSFORM_FUNCTION>}
<EXPR> is the expression describing what the part should use as a input, for example, if you want the
input to be the voltage across the IN+ node and the IN- node then: <EXPR> = V(IN+,IN-)
E-Type Devices output a voltage differential while G-Type devices output a defined current.
