Re-using test benches by close loop with a variable

Johanny Saenz

Hi all.

Anyone could give me some hint about how close nets with a variable for different test benchs (a kind of cds_thru instance)?. In this way, I could use the same schematic to evaluate my open-loop gain and stability of my amplifier setting in two ADE-L views with different  variable values.

Thanks!

    You would be better off using the stb analysis instead of opening the loop for the AC analysis. This would mean you can keep your loop closed all the time and measure the loop gain - the results will be more accurate because you are properly taking into account the loading all the time.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
