Hello I don't know how to use current control voltage source on cadence since they look like vdc with the transresistance to specify but I don't know which wire it uses for the current control. How do I connect it to the circuit ?

thanks for your help.

Don't worry, two terminals are enough for use.

For example, a current control voltage source has two terminals 'A' and 'B'. If the transresistance is 'R', the current flowed from 'A' to 'B' is 'I', then the output voltage 'V' between 'A' and 'B' is:

V = R * I

Just like a resistor, but it is a source.

ok thanks. In fact i didn't understand that the current which control the source is the current which go through the source after precising the Voltage reference in the properties. In other softwares like spice or ADS, it's more simple.

thanks for your help
