Description
The Controlled Current Source generates a variable current between its two electrical terminals. The direction of a positive current through the component is marked with an arrow. The momentary current is determined by the signal fed into the input of the component.
Note A current source may not be open-circuited or connected in series to an inductor or any other current source.
Probe Signals
