The Ideal Commuting Switch component models a three-terminal, single-pole, electrical switch that commutes a common terminal between a normally closed terminal ($\mathrm{n1}$) and a normally opened terminal ($\mathrm{n2}$). The common terminal is controlled by a Boolean signal. When the input signal is false, the common terminal is connected to the normally closed terminal; otherwise, it is connected to the normally opened terminal.

$\{\begin{array}{cc}\left\{i_1\=-v_1{G}_{\mathrm{off}}\,v_2\=-i_2{R}_{\mathrm{on}}\right\}& \mathrm{control}\=\mathrm{true}\\ \left\{v_1\=-i_1{R}_{\mathrm{on}}\,i_2\=-v_2{G}_{\mathrm{off}}\right\}& \mathrm{control}\=\mathrm{false}\end{array}$

$i_p\+i_1\+i_2\=0$

$\mathrm{LossPower}\=i_p{v}_p\+i_{\mathrm{n1}}{v}_{\mathrm{n1}}\+i_{\mathrm{n2}}{v}_{\mathrm{n2}}$
