Description

Block Current-Controlled Voltage Source It is a current-controlled voltage source described by the following equation:

where

— output voltage;
— transmission coefficient;
— 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

Use the parameter group Initial Targets to set the priority and initial target values for the block parameter variables before modeling. For more information, see Configuring physical blocks using target values.
