Symbolic Behavioral Modeling for Slew and Settling Analysis of Operational Amplifiers∗ He Zhang and Guoyong Shi School of Microelectronics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Shanghai 200240, China e-mail: shiguoyong@ic.sjtu.edu.cn Abstract—Traditionally symbolic techniques are used for an- the slewing period, the available current of the input stage alyzing small-signal circuit behaviors. They are not suitable charging the compensation capacitor is limited, which can for analyzing the large-signal transient responses of operational virtually be treated as if the feedback loop is opened. Thus amplifiers (op-amps). This paper combines a symbolic dominant pole technique with a popular slew and settling analysis technique the slewing period behavioral model operates in the open-loop existing in the literature to form a symbolic transient analysis mode as shown in Fig. 2(b). When the output voltage reaches method which can be used for fast characterization of the op- the vicinity of its final value, the differential input stage enters amp behavior in the time-domain. A unified technique for slew the linear region and the feedback loop in the behavioral model and settling characterization is proposed. Experimental results is closed as shown in Fig. 2(c). have validated that the proposed method can calculate the slew and settling time of a two-stage op-amp more accurately for both large and small current designs.
