Description
Block Current-Controlled Current Source It is a current-controlled current source described by the following equation:
where
-
— output current;
-
— gain factor;
-
— current of the control circuit.
To use the unit, connect the + and − ports on the left side of the unit (control ports) to the control current source. The arrow between these ports indicates the positive direction of the control current. The two ports on the right side of the unit (output ports) represent the output current source; the arrow indicates the positive direction of the output current.
Variables
