What would you call it?



I've developed a simple-minded subcircuit for use with NOISE analyses in Spice/PSpice/LTspice such that...



o It passes DC at whatever RDC you set



o It jumps to gmin/2 at some corner you set, FCO



o It's a flat impedance at gmin for the rest of the spectrum



I need a name for this PART ;-)



(I'll post the subcircuit as soon as I decide on a name.) ...Jim Thompson

Add another wire and call it an Ideal bias tee.

Good idea for a separate part. ...Jim Thompson

'Flat Gain brick wall Filter with DC'?

If I read that right.

Cheers

That would work, but I settled on "AC-BLOCK" ;-)

Some may wonder, "What the hell", but this is a just a convenience for doing both input-referred voltage and current noise analysis in a single simulation run, as one often goes up as the other goes down... making it more easy to visually optimize an amplifier input structure.

{Parameter "ACTIVE" allows me to turn it on and off as appropriate during the STEP PARAMETER routines.) ...Jim Thompson
