• Description:
  This function is a controlled sine wave oscillator with parametrizable values of low and high peak output. It takes an input voltage or current value. This value is used as the independent variable in the piecewise linear curve described by the coordinate points of the cntl array and freq array pairs. From the curve, a frequency value is determined, and the oscillator will output a sine wave at that frequency. From the above, it is easy to see that array sizes of 2 for both the cntl array and the freq array will yield a linear variation of the frequency with respect to the control input. Any sizes greater than 2 will yield a piecewise linear transfer characteristic. For more detail, refer to the description of the piecewise linear controlled source, which uses a similar method to derive an output value given a control input.

.model in_sine sine(cntl_array = [-1 0 5 6]
