PZ-analysis in spectre
Dec 07th, 2006, 3:08pm
 
Hi all,

I am not at all aware of the PZ analysis in spectre. Can anyone please provide an example ?
I would like to understand what input source implies.
I tried looking into the manual, could not find any info.
I am trying to find Poles and zeros in LDO.

Thank you,
hc

It's also a good idea to read the documentation, since there is some... Look in cdsdoc or in the pdf files
under <mmsimInstDir>/doc

Thank you sheldon. But I do not understand the significance of the input probe, which is  a voltage source.

Andrew, I tries searching in the cdsdoc but could not get the information that I am looking for.
I would like to know what is the purpose of the input probe ?  If we have a multiple feedback system then how to
do the PZ analysis.

Thank you,
hc

Hi hc,

The input probe and output probe are to allow it to compute the zeros. The poles are computed anyway.

Even if there are multiple feedback paths, the poles and zeros are computed.

This is explained even in "spectre -h pz"

Regards,

Andrew.
