regulator design steps? universal testbench?
Nov 11th, 2008, 9:36pm
 
Can someone recommend a step by step guide covering basics like sizing the differential pairs, choosing tail current, second stage to first stage sizing ratios, etc etc?

I have used the universal testbench with two diffamps in series in order to measure gain, CMRR, but could use a step by step guide to go along with the unviersal testbench.

I am familiar with how to verify 2 stage diffamps and folded cascode regulators.

But need to learn more about ground up design steps.

Any suggestions are appreciated?
Thanks in advance.

I don't know what the universal test bench is, but you can measure a lot of transfer functions all at once using an XF analysis. Combine it with ideal baluns to handle differential circuits.
