Exercise 7.1 Stability for a trans impedance amplifier configuration

a)


We now define an (angular) frequency ω1 = 1 R2⋅C1

b)


An answer:
For a phase margin of 45°, the phase shift of each low pass transfer is − 67.5°. With Ao ≫ 1 this cannot occur for |Aloop = 1. Hence: NO.

c)


An answer:
For a phase margin of 45°, the summed phase shift of the two low pass transfers is − 135°. With ω0 ≫ ω1 this can occur for for an ω ≫ omega1, for a loop gain magnitude 1. Hence: YES.

d)


An answer:
For a phase margin of 45°, the summed phase shift of the two low pass transfers is − 135°. With ω1 ≫ ω0 this can occur for for an ω ≫ omega0, for a loop gain magnitude 1. Hence: YES.

e)


An answer:

For the case that ω1 ≫ ω0:

ω ≫ ω0 →∠ Ao 1 + jω∕ω0 ≈−90° → ∠ 1 1 + jω∕ω1 ≈−45° | 1 1 + jω∕ω1|≈ 1 2 ω = ω1 = A0 2 ⋅ ω0 ≈ A0 ⋅ ω0

Using an asymptotic Bode plot, the 2 is easily lost. A graphical “derivation” would be similar to the plot below.
