SPICE-Compatible Sources

Description

The Sinusoidal Current Source block represents a damped sinusoidal current source whose output current is independent of the voltage across the terminals of the source. The following equations describe the current through the source as a function of time:

where:

The block uses a small conductance internally to prevent numerical simulation issues. The conductance connects the + and - ports of the device and has a conductance GMIN:

Dialog Box and Parameters

Current offset, I0

The magnitude of the time-independent part of the output current. The default value is 0 A.

Sinusoidal amplitude, IA

The magnitude of the sinusoidal part of the output current. The default value is 0 A.

Sinusoidal frequency, FREQ

The frequency of the output sine wave. The default value is 1e+06 Hz. The value can be less than 0.

Time delay, TD

The time at which the sine wave first starts. The default value is 0 s. The value can be less than 0.

Damping factor, DF

The amount by which to amplify or reduce the exponential damping term that multiples the sine wave to produce the output current. The default value is 0 1/s. The value must be greater than or equal to 0.

Ports

The block has the following ports:

+

Positive electrical voltage.

-

Negative electrical voltage.
