how to simulate this full differential OPA
Feb 05th, 2006, 8:02pm
 
Hi, all: I design a full differential OPA whose CMFB is switch capacitance circuit.
Because the switch capacitance circuit, I do not know how to process the ac analyse.

Hi,

the easy solution is to replace the switched-cap part by its equivalent resistors, which then allows you to run a PAC simulation. If you have access to SpectreRF, you can alternatively run an  analysis on your real schematic with the SC CMFB circuit. For more information on the second solution, have a look at Ken's paper in the analysis section:

Paul,

I assume you meant to say that if you replace the switch-cap parts with equivalent resistors you can then simulate using an AC analysis not a PAC analysis.

If you have SpectreRF (as you say), you can then simulate using PSS/PAC with the circuit as is (I expect).

I'm sure it was just a typo, but just thought I'd check (with my pedant's hat on).

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

thanks for correcting my statement. Of course I wanted to say that the first option would be the replacement by resistors, which allows to run AC analysis, the second (and more elegant) option being the PAC analysis with SpectreRF.

Seems I'm still a little jet-lagged, or was that the wine at the social event???  ;)
