How to build a test-bench for mismatch simulation of fully differential opamp?
May 31st, 2012, 2:13am
 
Hello,

   I am simulating an opamp with DC gain 70dB. I am troubled by the mismatch simulation now because I don't know how to build a good test bench for the fully differential opamp. Because the DC gain is large, small mismatch offset can drive the opamp to linear region. I also see some comments to simulate in a closed loop. But how to build the closed loop test bench, do the operating points burnt by the direct resistive feedback?

   I also read the white paper "Functional verification of a differential operational amplifier". But still I cannot figure out the good test bench for Monte Carlo simulation. In Allen's book, the author onlys mentions fully differential input and single output architecture.

   Can anybody give some comments or reference about the testbench?

   Thanks.

I know how it should work in a correct way. Mismatch is not important for the DC gain and phase margin, probably I should run corner simulation.

You can use sp1twitch from analogLib. You can set the state of the switch for DC, AC , IC, and TRAN simulation.
For exampel for DC(IC)  switch can be closed, and for AC opened.
