Sinewave Current Generator?

#1 · April 10, 2025, 5:25 pm

I wonder what the ~~simplest~~ practical way to implement a sinewave current generator in simulIDE could be.

Thank you.

Now, I use the available voltage wave generator (set to Vpk) in series with a resistor (Rs) whose value is much higher than of the load.

For example, if the load is 50R and Ipk = 50 mA, Rs could be set to 10,000,000 Ohm which gives Vpk=500,000 V.

Hi.

Maybe you can use a voltage controlled current source?

Hi,

It was my first thought too. But I am not sure why it didn't work when I added it to a schematic of a project.

I will try to test it again on a new schematic and see what I will get.
