An op-amp based programmable gain amplifier with a negative feedback is designed. Which method will be the best suitable for the stability analysis? Correct Answer Bode Plot
Concept-
Stability can be determined easily from a plot of the loop gain versus frequency.
The critical point is when the loop gain equals 0 dB (gain equals 1) because a circuit must have gain ≥ 1 to become unstable.
The phase margin, which is the difference between the measured phase angle and 180º, is calculated at the 0-dB point.
Bode plot is the plot of loop gain versus frequency.
Using Bode Plot we can easily find the gain margin and phase margin of the system.
We can also see the effect of resistor or capacitance on the Bode plot by analyzing the Bode plot.
We can get different parameters like Bandwidth, the cutoff frequency of op-amp by bode plot So the Bode plot is the best suitable for stability analysis.
