Description
Block Voltage-Controlled Current Source It is a voltage-controlled current source described by the following equation:
where
-
— current;
-
— gain factor;
-
, — potential values at the control terminals.
To use the unit, connect the + and − ports on the left side of the unit (control ports) to the control voltage source. 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
