A( s)  1  H ( s)
The stability of a feedback system, like any other LTI system, is
completely determined by the location of its poles in the S-plane. The
poles (natural frequencies)of a linear feedback system with closed-loop
Transfer function T(s) are defined as the roots of the characteristic
equation A(s)=0, where A(s) is the denominator polynomial of
T(s).

If  H (s)  1 , X(s) = 0, then gain goes to infinity.
The circuit can amplify its own noise until it eventually
begins to oscillates.
 H ( jw1 )  1

Oscillation Conditions

A negative feedback system may oscillate at ω1 if
 The phase shift around the loop at this frequency is
so much that the feedback becomes positive
 And the loop gain is still enough to allow signal
buildup

Unstable Condition


The situation can be viewed as
 Excessive loop gain at the frequency for which the
phase shift reaches -180°
 Or equivalently, excessive phase at the frequency for
which the loop gain drops to unity
To avoid instability, we must minimize the total phase
shift so that for |βH|=1,  H is more positive than -180°
9
Gain Crossover point and Phase Crossover Point



Gain crossover point
 The frequencies at which the magnitude of the loop
gain are equal to unity
Phase crossover point
 The frequencies at which the phase of the loop gain
are equal to -180°
A stable system, the gain crossover point must occur
before the phase crossover
10
Phase Margin





To ensure stability, |βH| must drop to unity beforethe
phase crosses -180°
Phase margin (PM): PM  180  H ( w  w1 ) , where w1 is
the unity gain frequency
PM<0, unstable
PM>0, stable
Usually require PM > 45°, prefer 60°
11
One-pole System

In order to analyze the stability of the system, we plot
H ( s  jw)
H ( s  jw)
Single pole cannot contribute phase shift greater
than 90° and the system is unconditionally stable
12
Tow-pole System
System is stable since the
open loop gain drops to
below unity at a frequency for
which the phase is smaller
than -180°
Unity gain frequency move
closer to the original


Same phase, improved
stability, gain crossover point
is moved towards original,
resulting more stable system
13
Frequency Compensation


Typical opamp circuits contain many poles
Opamp must usually be “compensated” - open-loop
transfer function must be modified such that
 The closed loop circuit is stable
 And the time response is well-behaved
14
Compensation Method


The need for compensation arises because the
magnitude does not drop to unity before the phase
reaches -180°
Two methods for compensation:
 Minimize the overall phase shift
 Drop the gain
15
Illustration of the Two Methods
16
Trade-offs

Minimizing phase shift
 Minimize the number of poles in the signal path
 The number of stages must be minimized
 Low voltage gain, limited output swing

Dropping the gain
 Retains the low-frequency gain and output swing
 Reduces the bandwidth by forcing the gain to fall at
lower frequencies
17
General Approach

First try to design an opamp so as to minimize the
number of poles while meeting other requirements

The resulting circuit may still suffer from insufficient
phase margin, we then compensate the opamp
 i.e. modify the design so as to move the gain
crossover point toward the origin
