How to model stability analysis of a linear regulator such as this?
1 Attachment(s)
In simulation, what is the proper method to model a stability analysis of the following circuit?
Meaning where do I inject the AC signal and where do I look at the loop gain/phase? Do I need to inject the AC signal into vdc and look at vb? If so, what other modifications do I need to make to my testbench to properly model the analysis? |
The most straightforward way (not 100% theoretically accurate, but more than sufficient) is to insert your AC source between FB and the NI input, and look at the ratio of VFB/VNI

use forum search for Tain Middlebrook LoopGainProbe for some discussions
you can also force the output with a Isource - the impedance curve is related to the feedback factor - severe peaking is a warning sign load step response gives similar info |

Elvee, do you mind posting a simulation schematic of your test circuit for stability analysis?
|
I bet MicroCAP does it. If you install it and go to EXAMPLES folder than you find something similar ( stability over time, outside temperature, parts parameters deviations and transition events). Must be here.

V3 is the AC source correct? And what purpose does the 1n4148 serve?
