Stability issue: Compensation changes using Bode plot in LTspice

I am encountering issues with a LT8390 design, particularly in higher load current conditions, which leads me to suspect a stability problem. The design parameters are as follows: vin 18-36 (28v ...

AC analysis of SMPS shows instability. How to modify the analysis to reflect the transient stability?

Background I have designed a switch-mode power stage with voltage-mode control that uses an LCLC filter in its output to obtain a very low ripple output voltage. I have empirically arrived at a ...

What is the better way to stabilize this discrete op-amp and why?

I have the following simple op-amp circuit, which is meant to drive a MOSFET (M1) gate and work as a voltage regulator. It is discrete for a mix of reasons (necessary bandwidth, using existing BOM ...

Problem stabilizing this PMOS LDO

I am considering a discrete LDO for a supply rail that needs ~\$m\Omega\$ impedance at 10 kHz. While the following circuit does what I need (according to Spice), it becomes unstable if C2 is smaller ...

AD4610 - Is it possible to eleminate this single overshoot

I am trying to compensate input capacitance of the AD4610. It does not matter if it is actually over- or undershooting - there is always a spike: I do not have this problem with the OPA4141 for ...
