Controlled Current Source
>>Basics>Circuit>Sources
The component represents a dependent current source. You can choose a voltage-controlled,
current-controlled, nonlinear voltage-controlled, or nonlinear current-controlled type.
Dialog Settings
� «Type»
In the list, select the voltage-controlled, current-controlled, nonlinear voltage-controlled,
nonlinear current-controlled type, or the Collector source.
«Control Component»
The voltage/current of the defined circuit component controls the value of the source. Quantity
parameter type. The type accepts only voltage and current of voltmeters, ammeters, or
wattmeters (e.g. VM1.V, AM2.I). The values cannot be assigned by a variable. Enter the
quantity of a meter or use the pin to connect the quantity.
� � «Use pin»
If the box is checked, the control component is defined by the quantity connected to the pin,
otherwise the name in the text box is used.
«Factor»
Only for linear controlled sources. The value of the control component is multiplied by the factor.
The value '1' means the original value is used. Common parameter type. Enter a numerical
value, a variable, or an expression in the text box or use the pin to connect a quantity.
� � «Use pin»
If the box is checked, the factor is defined by the quantity connected to the pin, otherwise the
value in the text box is used.
«Characteristic»
Only for nonlinear controlled sources. IS=f(v) -> voltage-controlled, IS=f(i) -> current-controlled.
Open the characteristic dialog or use the pin to define a characteristic. See also “Separate
Component Characteristic” on page 297.
� � «Use pin»
If the box is checked, the voltage source is defined by the characteristic connected to the pin,
otherwise by the settings in the dialog .
