Purpose

Generate constant current

Library

Electrical / Sources

Description

pict

The DC Current Source generates a constant current between its two electrical terminals. The direction of a positive current through the component is marked with an arrow.


Note  A current source may not be open-circuited or connected in series to an inductor or any other current source.

Parameter

Current
The magnitude of the constant current, in amperes (A). This parameter may either be a scalar or a vector defining the width of the component. The default value is 1.

Probe Signals

Source current
The source current in amperes (A).
Source voltage
The voltage measured across the source, in volts (V).
Source power
The instantaneous output power of the source, in Watts (W).
