freq and stability analysis

[bharathr87]

why do we add an inductor and capacitor (LC ckt) in the feed back loop for freq and stability analysis for ex. as shown in this fig?

Where is the figure?

wait for a few seconds it will appear!!!

Hello Bharath..

Wht u have done is correct only..it's breaking the loop virtually and it's one of the way for stability analysis...

The easy way is connect the Vin- and Out put through iprobe (which can be found in analogLib)

and add stb analysis ( what ever frequency range u want.)

Vin+ is connected to a Ac Source with Ac magnitude =1 and DC voltage as VDD/2 i mean the common mode voltage.

u will get the loop gain,PM,GM,UGB.


Hope this could help You.

With Best Regards

Thanks shady25.....i know that it is correct and it works...but can u help me figure out how the LC ckt is useful in doin the stability analysis....

Bharath..

The actual way of doing with L and C is as follows.


Here the capacitor allows the ac signal and to flow through the OPAMP and evaluates the (gain & Phase response) stability response...the inductor blocks the AC signal coming from the Source. At the other end of the inductor u find the ac signal. from the Ac analysis find the Gain response from output to input and u will get the similar response as that of the stb analysis.

to get the Stability response keep high values of L and C...

Hope this could help u...

Hi,
We only want the DC portion of the output to go to negative terminal, so that the op-amp is properly biased. So we use C and L to send only dc portion in feedback. And then we can apply the ac voltge seperatly on inegative terminal, to see the gain on the output.

Here is a short paper on a way to do it. Scroll to the end to see it.
