The circuit has one independent current source and one dependent current source. User manual icircuit the realtime circuit simulator and editor. Ltspice mac osx create a circuit with dependent sources youtube. Voltage dependent current source in ltspice electrical. Using a behavioural currentvoltage component bi and bv. If the independent source is flipped 180 degrees so that its driving its 1ma current the opposite direction, the dependent current source circuit is. Our previous discussion of ideal voltage and current sources exclusively considered independent sources, which had a fixed specified voltage or current regardless of whatever else was going on in a circuit. The dependent source drives the output side of the circuit. Spice2 allows circuits to contain dependent sources characterized by any of the. Ltspice tutorial ep7 dependent voltage and current sources duration. Because vx is the voltage across r2, vx is also equal to vo in circuit b. In your circuit there is an unknown potential difference across the current source, so your original equation for m2 was incorrect as you ignored this voltage. Thevenins theorem circuit containing two independent sources.
Electric circuit dependent and independent sources with. The current of the current source is divided between 2. Electrical sources, both as a voltage source or a current source can be classed as being either independentideal or dependent, controlled that is whose value. Dependent sources are used to model transistors and the operational amplifier ic. A dependent source is a voltage or current source controlled by either a voltage or a current at the input side of the device model. Ltspice tips current dependent current source motley. Adding a current dependent voltage source to ltspice.
Introduction to the voltage source and current source. Does circuitlab run on windows, mac os x, and linux. In this circuit we have created a current source that outputs the same amount of current as. Ideal independent current sources are typically used to solve circuit theorems and for circuit analysis techniques for circuits that containing real active elements. Dependent sources dont have to rely on other elements values, they can rely on time too. Frequently asked questions documentation circuitlab. Create a basic dc circuit with a current dependent voltage and current source. Linear dependent sources and circuit analysis dummies.
Dependent sources behave just like independent voltage and current sources, except that the voltage or current depends in some way on another voltage or current in the circuit. For current controlled sources these act like a shortcircuit current measurement in series with the controlling current. About icircuit the realtime circuit simulator and editor. Current dependent voltage source in ltspice youtube. The polynomial specifies the source current as a function of the controlling. This seems a bit odd, but this behavior corresponds very closely to the way a number of interesting and useful electronic devices behave. Sources that are proportional to other currents or voltages in the circuit. The independent current source is and the dependent current source gvx point in the same direction, so you can add these two current sources to get the total current ieq going through the resistor combination r1 and r2. The voltage or current values is proportional to some other voltage or current in the circuit. Just use the g circuit element voltage controlled current source with a lookup table lut specification. The way to remedy this is to write an equation for a loop that doesnt include the current source e. Signal generators, voltage sources, current sources, and dependent sources.
How to simulate a circuit with dependent sources youtube. Thevenins theorem circuit w 2 independent sources solved. In other words, the output of a dependent current source is controlled by another voltage or current. For example, the mac osx version can open these files. A dependent source is one whose value depends on some other variable in the circuit. A controlled or dependent current source on the other hand changes its available current depending upon the voltage across, or the current through, some other element connected to the circuit. What is the difference between dependent and independent.
