  1. Lecture 7: Linear Dependent Sources Today we will look at special voltage and current sources called dependent sources. A dependent source has a voltage or current that depends on a different voltage or current somewhere in the circuit (or even in a different, detached circuit).

Ai Ic Gm Vc + _ + _ Av Vc Rm Ic Four Types of Linear Dependent Sources Parameter being sensed (controlling voltage/current) Constant of proportionality Output Voltage-controlled voltage source … V = Av Vc Current-controlled voltage source … V = Rm Ic Current-controlled current source … I = Ai Ic Voltage-controlled current source … I = Gm Vc

  3. Analyzing Circuits with Linear Dependent Sources • Circuits with linear dependent sources can be analyzed using the tools we have learned so far. • A dependent voltage source acts like an independent ideal voltage source: it tells us what its voltage is, but the current is unknown. • Similarly, a dependent current source tells us what its current is, but the voltage is unknown. • We just need to write an extra equation that specifies what the controlling voltage or current is.

  4. Example Find VR. • By Ohm’s law, VR = (R3)(G VX) • Extra equation specifying VX:

  7. Linearity of I-V Relationship • Whenever a circuit is composed only of the elements we have studied so far, • Ideal Independent Voltage and Current Sources • Linear Dependent Voltage and Current Sources • Resistors the I-V relationship is always a line. Simple examples: i i i + _ v v v

  8. Equivalent Circuits I • Consider the simple circuit composed of a voltage source and resistor. • This circuit has a linear I-V relationship: I = (V – VS) / R I = (1/R) V – VS / R • With proper choice of VS and R, this circuit can mimic any other circuit we have studied so far. VS v VS/R
