Frequently asked questions

What software is required to run the calculator?

Microsoft Excel 2002 or later with the Analysis ToolPak Add-In and Analysis ToolPak — VBA Add-In.

What is recommended for phase margin in the simulation?

Fairchild recommends at least 60° of phase margin when the gain crosses 0dB to ensure a stable system.

Where can the simulation tools be downloaded?

The tools are available on Fairchild's website in a zip file named AN-6033.zip.
