Hi everyone,
I simulated a simple circuit with RLC in series under Cadence Spectre. L and C resonate at 1MHz. A sinasoidal source with an amplitude of 600mV stimulates RLC at 1MHz. And, R=50Ohm, L=25.33mH, C=1pF.
My thought is, LC gets its minimum impedance at 1MHz. So in steady responses LC has a very low voltage, wheras R has a large one reaching 600mV.
However, the simulation result is reverse. That is, LC has a very large voltage, nearly 600mV. R has a small one, only 20mV.
I did another simulation with L=25.33uH and C=1nF. Then, LC has a very low voltage, and R has a large one reaching 600mV.
This confuses me a lot.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks a lot!
