Root-locus technique based frequency compensation of electronic circuits: methodology and applications

Abstract

This dissertation presents a root-locus technique based frequency compensation methodology of electronic circuits. It solves problems of Miller theorem based approach and direct analysis, providing design insights regarding pole/zero dynamics in the $s$-plane. Also, designs of a single BJT Bandgap reference that has two-stage amplifier and a cap-less low-dropout regualtor that has four-stage amplifier are presented as applications.
