freq.png thanks for guide to upload the picture, i wish that i can get help here about how to read this graph hehehe
 
What do you not understand ?

It is showing the output of the amplifier as having a gain of around 35db compared to Vin. You can deduce the -3db points by using the cursor cross hairs (left click Vout on the graph either once or twice to add one or two crosshairs).

The dotted line is the phase response of the amplifier. At really high frequencies it becomes a bit meaningless for a number of reasons such as the models will not account for stray parasitics that would influence a real design. You can have phase shifts of more than 360 degrees as phase shift is cumulative and needs to account for time as well.
 
ArDean,

The reference no. in dBs
is the gain. On the right in degrees is the phase, below in Hz,KHz,MHz,GHz is the span of frequencies. The point in gain where the slope falls downward, that is the cut-off frequency.

Hope I have added a few info.

Sa muli,

thanks gogo, but how come you say that is good pm/gm, on based of what can u explain to me please

It is used to "measure" stability. Amps will become unstable if there is infinite gain. Infinite gain happens when certain conditions are met (it's a Math thing). PM/GM measures how far we are from instability (gain 0 dB, inverted phase).

I think PM/GM=50/10 is a fair thresholds. I don't design for PM/GM but I think I have never got below 60/20.
