IDEAL voltage source maintains the prescribed voltage across its terminals regardless of the current drawn from it IDEAL current source maintains the prescribed current through its terminals regardless of the voltage across those terminals “IDEAL” or “Independent” Sources ECE 201 Circuit Theory I
“Controlled” or “Dependent” Sources • A voltage or current source whose value “depends” on the value of voltage or current elsewhere in the circuit • Use a diamond-shaped symbol ECE 201 Circuit Theory I
Voltage-Controlled Voltage Source VCVS • Vs is the “output” voltage • Vx is the “reference” voltage • u is the “multiplier” • Vs = uVx ECE 201 Circuit Theory I
Current-Controlled Voltage Source CCVS • Vs is the “output” voltage • Ix is the “reference” current • p is the multiplier • Vs = pIx ECE 201 Circuit Theory I
Voltage-Controlled Current Source VCCS • Is is the “output” current • Vx is the “reference” voltage • a is the multiplier • Is = aIx ECE 201 Circuit Theory I
Current-Controlled Current Source CCCS • Is is the “output” current • Ix is the “reference” current • b is the multiplier • Is = bIx ECE 201 Circuit Theory I
