I think the + sign indicates that the current will flow in the direction shown by the arrow for positive input voltages, but I agree, it's somewhat confusing and unnecessary. Of course the textbook VCCS is what VoltageSpike showed, but I don't necessarily like the disembodied control terminals on a schematic. | |
| Sep 18, 2019 at 17:55 | comment | added | Elliot Alderson | This seems confusing to me. A current source shouldn't be labeled with + and - as that implies a voltage, and we don't automatically know the orientation of a voltage for a current source. All of the symbols I have ever seen are the diamond shapes as shown by @VoltageSpike. | |
