General Rules
If you directly import cadence plots into your presentation, they must have clearly visible axes, white background or CLEARLY labeled on black background, and solid easily viewable traces. All schematics must be clearly annotated! All hand analysis may be scanned and pasted into the corresponding slide(s). Please ensure that your hand analysis follows the same naming scheme as your circuits/simulations. Please clearly mark all simulation axes (or title the simulation plots) (I do not know what V/net5 is!).

Loop Gain Compensation Discussion

COMPENSATION: The compension used is in stabilizing the system is the lead compensation. I tried to introduce a zero just after the unity gain frequency so that the phase is raised by the considerable amount at the unity gain frequency thereby increasing the phase margin. In my design CL=1 uF, ESR= 1 ohm , Rc=2.8 K Cc=158 pF. I have first assumed Cc as 5 pF and plotted the ac response. I found that for phase of -120 degrees(60 degree phase margin) the gain was 31.6 V/V . So in order to reduce the gain for that phase to zero I multiplied Cc with the gain at that point= 5*31.6= 158 pF. And Rc is calculated by Rc= 1/(1.7*2*pi*fT*Cc)= 2.8 K Ohms.
