Figure 1. Op amps are often used as unity gain signal buffers, which are not as simple to use as it may appear. The unity-gain op amp...

We can equate the stability to an equivalent phase margin by assuming the magnitude of the gain vector to be 1 and solving for the Q. In...

How do you use the Picotest injectors and the Agilent analyzer to measure output impedance and/or non-invasive step loading? For the...

Summary Among the most frequently asked questions regarding non-invasive stability measurement are “How do I determine the bandwidth,...

Fortunately, a new technique permits non-invasive stability testing of such devices.1 Designers can evaluate stability by measuring (on...

Introduction Most of us have experience using a wideband signal injection transformer to introduce a modulation signal into our loop...

Many articles and application notes describe the extraction of phase margin, using a non-invasive technique that extracts the phase...

There are cases where a Bode (gain?phase) plot cannot be obtained from a control loop. For example, a three terminal regulator or hybrid...

When measuring a circuit or device with our network analyzers, engineers generally inject a signal and believe that the measured results...
