Closed-loop Stability
Introduction
• The single pole system is a stable system, since the phase will never
reach -180o
• The three-pole system will oscillate, since there’s a finite frequency
at which the phase is -180o and the gain is greater than unity
• In fact, this system exceeds the minimum oscillation requirement

• The larger the PM, the more stable the negative feedback becomes
• For PM = 900 Only 1 pole (ωGX = GBW)
• For PM > 600 One dominant pole (before ωGX)
Other poles pushed after at least 2ωGX
ωnd > 2.GBW

– CC is added to lower the dominant pole so that
ωGX occurs at a lower frequency than before,
which means PM increases
