Description

This design demonstrates the use of the TDFS (Time Domain Frequency Sweep) simulation method, to measure the open-loop frequency response of an operating closed-loop system containing switching elements.

The stability of the "Buck DC to DC Converter - Switching" design is assessed. This is a switching circuit, it does not use a state-average model for the modulator, so the standard AC Analysis method cannot be used. Rather, the frequency response is generated from time-domain simulation results. The TDFS approach can also be used for systems that contain sampling or digital control aspects.

This particular example is directly comparable to the design titled "TDFS Loop Stability for Buck DC to DC Converter - State Average". In that design, both the TDFS and AC Analysis methods are used to measure the open loop transfer function of an equivalent non-switching circuit.

Note that the approach used to characterize the loop stability, by injecting a small sinusoidal stimulus signal in series with the loop and then measuring the complex ratio of the ground referenced return signal to the injected signal, is described in:

Description

This design shows the use of the TDFS (Time Domain Frequency Sweep) method to measure the frequency response of two low-pass filters. One is just a simple RC filter circuit with 1 kHz cut-off frequency. The other is an equivalent filter using a switched-capacitor implementation.Both small-signal AC (frequency domain) and TDFS (time-domain) analyses are run, and both give the same results for the RC filter. However, because of the switching aspect of the switched-capacitor filter, the results of the AC analysis are meaningless for that circuit. However, the TDFS approach is valid for that filter also, as well as for any other circuit or system containing switching, sampled data or digital content.For reference, note in the schematic that the R-C filter is connected to channel 1 of the TDFS instrument, and the switched capacitor filter is connected to channel 2, hence the v1 and v2 distinction in the name of the results for the magnitude (dbMag) and phase. Both are measured relative to the stimulus input vosc, the oscillator output.
