Class Description

class atomiq.components.electronics.currentsource.VoltageControlledCurrentSource(voltage_source, calibration, *args, **kwargs)

Bases: CurrentSource

A current source controlled by an analog voltage

A typical usecase for this class are voltage-controlled power supplies that drive the current through a coil.

Parameters:

• voltage_source (VoltageSource) -- Voltage source that controls the current source

• calibration (Calibration) -- Calibration U = f(I) to give the control voltage U for a desired current I

A Parametrizable is an entity that can be controlled by one or more continuous parameter(s)

ramp_current(duration, current_end, current_start=nan, ramp_timestep=-1.0, ramp_steps=-1)

Ramp current over a given duration.

This method advances the timeline by duration

Parameters:

• duration (artiq.compiler.types.TMono('float', OrderedDict())) -- ramp duration [s]

• current_end (artiq.compiler.types.TMono('float', OrderedDict())) -- end current [A]

• current_start (artiq.compiler.types.TMono('float', OrderedDict())) -- initial current [A]. If not given, the ramp starts from the current operating current.

• ramp_timestep (artiq.compiler.types.TMono('float', OrderedDict()))

• ramp_steps (artiq.compiler.types.TMono('int', OrderedDict([('width', artiq.compiler.types.TValue(32))])))

set_current(current)

Set the current delivered by the current source

Parameters:

current (artiq.compiler.types.TMono('float', OrderedDict())) -- Current in A
