Cdet CARIOCA Stability • open loop gain simulation • with hspice • all transistors parameters • 3 poles system • dominant pole : input • non dominant pole : n2 • compensation capacitance of 400 fF Detector capacitance : 50 pF to 220 pF
Negative polarity preamplifier Cdet = 50 pF PM = 79 deg Cdet = 220 pF PM = 59 deg Positive polarity preamplifier Cdet = 50 pF PM = 72 deg Cdet = 220 pF PM = 50 deg Phase margins…
CARIOCA Stability • Robustness against • parameters spread due to process… • biasing fluctuation… • Simulating the layout • extracted view • all parasitic capacitances : wires, crosstalk,… • CARIOCA preamplifier is STABLE for BOTH polarities :-)
