«Early Voltage [V]»/«Collector-Emitter potential [V]»
Parameters of the Collector current source. Common parameter types. Enter a numerical value,
a variable, or an expression in the text box or use the pin to connect a quantity.
Linear voltage/current controlled Current Source
it () = K ⋅ v[ control component]
it () = K ⋅ i[ control component]
The value of the source current is calculated from the voltage/current of the controlling circuit
component multiplied by an arbitrary control coefficient K. For the control, any circuit component
can be specified.
In SIMPLORER only voltage sources or ammeters are allowed as controlling components for
current controlled elements. These must be inserted properly in the controlling branch.

Nonlinear voltage/current-controlled Current Source
it () = f( v[ control component]
)
it () =
f( i[ control component]
)
The value of the source current is calculated from the voltage/current of the controlling component
corresponding to an arbitrary nonlinear function. The control can result from any component
of the electrical circuit.
To describe the nonlinear relation, you must specify a name of an appropriate XY nonlinear
characteristic function. See also “Separate Component Characteristic” on page 297.
