This document discusses a simplified SPICE behavioral model for a DC power supply. The model focuses on the power supply's behavior within its operation area, allowing users to input the rated voltage, rated power, and maximum output current. It is intended for users who need to model a DC power supply as part of a larger system simulation. The model accounts for key characteristics like maintaining rated output voltage and limiting current to the maximum specified. Details are provided on the model's parameters, simulation setup, and how it represents the power supply's operation area and rated voltage characteristics.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

54. 1. Benefit of the Model
• The model enables circuit designer to predict and optimize Ni-MH battery runtime and circuit
performance.
• The model can be easily adjusted to your own Ni-MH battery specifications by editing a few
parameters that are provided in the datasheet.
• The model is optimized to reduce the convergence error and the simulation time.

55. 2. Model Feature
• This Ni-MH Battery Simplified SPICE Behavioral Model is for users who
require the model of a Ni-MH Battery as a part of their system.
• The model accounts for Battery Voltage(Vbat) vs. Battery Capacity Level
(SOC) Characteristic, so it can perform battery charge and discharge time at
various current rate conditions.
• As a simplified model, the effects of cycle number and temperature are
neglected.

[Spec: C, NS] Characteristics
Adjustable SOC [ 0-1(100%) ] -
• The model is characterized by parameters: C which represent the battery capacity and SOC which
represent the battery initial capacity level.
• Open-circuit voltage (VOC) vs. SOC is included in the model as an analog behavioral model (ABM).
• NS (Number of Cells in series) is used when the Ni-mh cells are in series to increase battery voltage
level.

57. 4. Parameter Settings
Model Parameters:
C is the amp-hour battery capacity [Ah]
– e.g. C = 0.3, 1.4, or 2.8 [Ah]
NS is the number of cells in series
+ - NI-MH_BATTERY – e.g. NS=1 for 1 cell battery, NS=2 for 2 cells battery
TSCALE = 1 (battery voltage is double from 1 cell)
U1 C = 1350M
SOC = 1 SOC is the initial state of charge in percent
NS = 1 – e.g. SOC=0 for a empty battery (0%), SOC=1 for a full
charged battery (100%)
(Default values) TSCALE turns TSCALE seconds(in the real world) into a
second(in simulation)
– e.g. TSCALE=60 turns 60s or 1min (in the real world)
into a second(in simulation), TSCALE=3600 turns 3600s
or 1h into a second.
• From the Ni-Mh Battery specification, the model is characterized by setting parameters
C, NS, SOC and TSCALE.
