Dear guys, I have been confused by a problem for a long time. I have a fully differential OTA with switched capacitor common mode feedback. I want to find the dc gain. The first way is to run ac simulation with flying capacitors having initial conditions. The simulation result is 64dB, which is the same with the sc cmfb replaced by ideal ct cmfb. However, if i run the pac, the dc gain is only 46dB. The gm is 1uS. The flying cap is 100fF. The clk is 20KHz. I use alternative network to settle the output, so the effective switch cap resistor may read 1/2fC = 250M. The calculated gain is near the pac simulation result. The textbook said that the switch cap may provide loading to the output impedance. I am not sure does it also counts for the resistive loading? As such, which simulation, ac or pac, reflects the real situation? Thanks!
