DC Current Source

DC source.

dc current source

Description

The DC Current Source unit is a DC source whose output current value is independent of the voltage at its terminals.

To avoid problems in numerical modelling, the block uses a small internal conductance. The conductor connects the + and - terminals of the unit and has a conductivity of GMIN:

By default, the value of GMIN is 1e-12 1/ohm.

Ports
