Stability analysis Phase margin and loop gain

Hi,

I am designing a resistive feedback TIA which needs a capacitor in its feedback loop for stability.

I would like to know the effect of a feedback capacitor on the phase margin to determine the optimal capacitance value.

My plan is to add it to the results after the stb analysis by using the direct plot>main form > phase margin (add to outputs).However it not getting added to my results list.

What could be a problem? Is there a way to add phase margin to the results using the calculator? 

I also find that the gain from the stability analysis(the closed loop gain) is different from that of the gain obtained for the closed loop simulation in AC analysis. Why is the difference, how is it computed in stability analysis?

Thanks,

-Rakesh.

Renewable Energy Matchmaking: Newest Key to Reaching 2020 Sustainability Goals

The siren call of 2020 corporate environmental sustainability goals is quickly getting louder, as corporate leaders realize they must go further today to achieve their sustainability targets for tomorrow.

One global consumer products company, for example, plans to derive 30 percent of its energy from clean sources by 2020.

Renewable Energy Responsible for First Ever Carbon Emissions Stabilization

Carbon emissions in 2014 remained at the previous year’s levels of 32.3 billion metric tons — a milestone that points to the impact worldwide renewable energy investment is having in the face of a 1.5 percent annual increase in global energy consumption, according to a new report from REN21. The tenth annual Renewables 2015 Global Status Report cites “increased penetration of renewable energy” and improvements in energy efficiency as the chief reasons for the noted emissions stabilization.
