Typical Application (continued)

ROC stability analysis is typically simulated. The validity of the analysis depends on multiple factors, especially

measurement of overshoot percentage and ac gain peaking of the circuit using a function generator,

oscilloscope, and gain and phase analyzer. Phase margin is then calculated from these measurements. Table 3

shows the overshoot percentage and ac gain peaking that correspond to phase margins of 45° and 60°. For

more details on this design and other alternative devices that can be used in place of the TLV170, see the

Capacitive Load Drive Solution Using an Isolation Resistor precision design.
