simulating LNA's PSRR
Dec 26th, 2007, 10:37am
 
Hello everyone,

I have an differential LNA and would like to measure it's PSRR. what I am thinking is that the measuring of a "pseudo single-ended LNA" 's PSRR make more sense. Does anybody can tell me how to set the test bench up?

Thanks

You could try a simple ac sweep, with ac magnitude of 1 on the power supply for a small signal measurement of PSRR.

Then look at the ac magnitude on the differential output net. In an ideal schematic, this should be very low. For a more realistic PSRR you'll need to include layout parasitics and mismatch (via monte-carlo), both of which will cause imbalance and hence less common-mode rejection of the supply signal to the differential nets.

For accuracy at higher frequencies, your test bench should include effects such as loading, ESD, bondpads, packaging, pcb etc.

cheers
