Current-controlled current source (SPICE F)#

The Current-controlled current source (SPICE F) block is a model of a current source that is functionally similar to the current-controlled current source (CCCS) of the standard SPICE libraries.

The block has zero output resistance. The output current is equal to:

when selecting the option LINEAR (1) :

(1)#\[I_{out}=K \cdot I_{in}\]

where:

\(K\) – gain coefficient;

\(I_{in}\) – instantaneous value of current at the input.

when selecting the option POLY (2) :

(2)#\[I_{out}=\Sigma^n_{i=1}K_i \cdot I_{in}^{i-1}\]

where:

\(n\) – order of the polynomial;

\(i\) – ordinal number of the polynomial coefficient;

\(K_i\) – value of the i-coefficient of the polynomial.
