This article provides sufficient conditions to ensure the existence and uniqueness of absolutely continuous and bounded variation solutions of a family of time-dependent nonsmooth systems named time-varying linear cone complementarity systems. Passivity is a key property. Nonsmooth circuits illustrate the theoretical results.
