Stability Analysis

DESIGN PHASE:       analysis
SUB ELEMENT NAME:   stability analysis
VARIABLE NAME:      [HEASTAB]
DATE:               REVISION LETTER:    REVISION DATE:  
APPLICABILITY:      feedback circuit

ACTIVITY:  Compute and plot open loop gain/phase and closed loop
gain/phase of the circuit.

OUTPUT:  Gain/phase plots for comparison to requirements and
measurements.

ALGORITHM:

[HEASTAB] =         engineer hours for stability analysis
0.0+                set up time
0.0*                hours per feedback loop
[FEEDBACK LOOP COUNT]*   number of feedback loops
([NWC]+             number of worse case condition sets
1)                  nominal
