CCCS: Current Controlled Current Source

---

This tutorial goes over the difference between independent and dependent power sources. It discusses independent current sources, independent voltage sources, current controlled current sources (CCCS), voltage controlled current sources (VCCS), current controlled voltage sources (CCVS), and voltage controlled voltage sources (VCVS). Independent power sources will put out a constant current or voltage no matter what is going on in the circuit, but dependent power sources are controlled by a condition elsewhere in the circuit; either a controlling voltage or controlling current, which is multiplied by a multiplication factor (or scaling factor) to give the dependent voltage or dependent current.
