Hi,
I'm facing a problem with my LDO: I thought evthg was ok, but then as I ran corners the phase response started to look a bit strange as you can see on the attached plots. At 125C and down to about 60C the phase starts at 0, then quickly goes up to a decent value and then behaves normally (edasim1.gif). If I run at 60C the phase starts at 180deg, we're ok (edasim2.gif). Now as I reduce the temperature further to -40C, you can see the dip in phase response around 1kHz gets lower and lower, down to 30deg (edasim3.gif), not good! Despite that my phase margin is still about 60deg, am I worrying for nothing?
Can anyone explain to me those 2 behaviors.
Also attached are the schematics for the LDO (eda1-4).
Thanks.
