i have designed a SC-CMFB for a folded cascode OTA and when i check its transient response it's output is oscillating, can any one tell me why and how to avoid it, help me please it's urgent. Thank you in advance.
i found out from simulations that it's not because of instability but it is because of load variation, i.e., in two different phases there are two different equivalent cap's so two different feed back factors so the overall loop gain for common mode is varying so it looks like oscillating, if the SC-CMFB ckt capacitance is increased the overall CM gain will increase so difference between the oscillating peaks reduce.
It will initially oscillate but will eventually settle if I am right.. It takes certain cycles to settle and after that it will start functioning normally..
