Swing Simulation Using STB Analysis
Connect the circuit as shown below. Connect Vout to Vin- using “iprobe” from analogLib
Make the value of the DC voltage connected to vin+ as shown below. X is a variable which will
vary from 0 to vdd
From ADEL:
Choose variable-> copy from cell view. X should appear to the left as in the figure below. Assign
to it an initial value 1.65V.
From analyses choose stb and choose design variable then type x and make it at frequency 1
hz and vary x from 0 to 3.3 as shown below.
Then go to probe instance, press select then go the schematic and choose the probe. It should
appear as in the figure “/IPRB0”.
Then press run. From ADEL choose results-> direct plot-> Main form. The following window
should appear. Choose Loop Gain , db20 and magnitude.
Plot the output. The output will be the gain vs Vout in dc .
The swing is the range where the gain has dropped by less than 10 db.
