CurrentSIN
Current Source
Library
Spice/Analog/Basic
Description
The CurrentSIN is a Sinusoidal current source with a constant frequency.
The peak value or amplitude value is measured from zero (if the initial DC offset value is not set) or from the DC offset value (if it is given).
Parameters
| Name | Label | Description | Data Type | Valid Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|
sp_SIN | SIN | String | ||
sp_I0 | Current Offset | The initial DC offset current (amperes). It should be set to zero if you need a pure sinusoid. | Scalar | |
sp_I1 | Current Amplitude | The undamped amplitude of the sinusoid, i.e. the peak value measured from zero or DC offset value (amperes) | Scalar | |
sp_Freq | Signal Frequency | The frequency of the sinusoid (Hertz) | Scalar | |
sp_Td | Time Delay | The time delay (seconds). Set this to zero for the normal sinusoid. | Scalar | |
sp_Theta | Dumping Factor | The damping factor (Hertz). Set this to zero for the normal sinusoid. This is used to apply an exponential decay to the sinusoid. | Scalar | |
sp_Phase | Signal Phase | The phase advance (degrees). Set this to 90 if you need a cosine waveform. | Scalar | |
