A question on STB analysis of OSC
Dec 02nd, 2024, 5:07am
 
Hi , I have  a problem on simulation of xtal oscillator. When I simulatie a Santos xtal OSC, I use STB to get its gainmargin which I found it is -1.5dB.So it should not to oscillate, but I found it can oscillate corectly when I use transisent analysis.  Can anyone explain this descranpcy?

Thanks a lot!

Chang,

  Are you using stability analysis or periodic stability analysis?

Dear Sheldon,  I use stability analysis. I think in the beginning of the buildup, it is linear.
