Hello,

I was wondering how to change the values of a dependent source in PSpice 9.2. For example, say I have a dependent current source that depends on the current flowing through some resistor and say that the current flowing through this dependent source is 2I. How do I input that into PSpice?

Thanks!

A dependent source is a 4-terminal component. If you are depending on current, it's the current flowing through the input terminals. Put it in series with the resistor - it's effective input impedance is zero so it doesn't perturb the circuit. Then the output is dependent on this based on the transfer parameter of the specific dependent-source type. The output is an ideal voltage or current source.
