At first, thanks for your reply.
"Rather choose it according to the signal shape you want during
transient simulation. "
Sorry, I didn't understand. Did you mean that if I want to put, in the
transient simulation a DC signal, I should at it in the AC simulation?
I don't know if it helps, but the opamp will have feedback (it will
make part of a current source composed by an opamp, a nmos and a
resistor).
Thanks
