Ideal switch

Ideal switch

In electronics engineering, ideal switch is the term to describe the condition for a switch that:
* has no current limit during its ON state
* has infinity resistance during its OFF state
* has no voltage drop across the switch during its ON state
* has no voltage limit during its OFF state
* has zero rise time and fall time during its state changings
* switches only once without "bouncing" between on and off positions

In real life, the normal switches are called practical switch which have some losses and limitations.
