Electrical Sources

The Voltage-Controlled Current Source block models a linear voltage-controlled current source, described with the following equation:
![]()
where
| I | Current |
| K | Transconductance |
| V(+),V(-) | Voltages presented at the + and – control ports |
To use the block, connect the + and – ports on the left side of the block (the control ports) to the control voltage source. The two ports on the right side of the block (the output ports) generate the output current. The arrow indicates the positive direction of the current flow.

Transconductance, or the change in output current divided by the change in input voltage that causes it. The default value is 1 1/Ω.
The block has four electrical conserving ports. Connections + and – on the left side of the block are the control ports. The other two ports are the electrical terminals that provide the output current. The arrow indicates the positive direction of the current flow.
