IV.3.f.ii Post-layout Stability Simulations<br />

As explained, to ensure the reliability of the filter from an industrial point of view, it is<br />

important to keep sufficient gain and phase margins. From Figure 172 and Figure 173, it<br />

comes out that the worst case for the stability happens when temperature is -20°C and supply<br />

is 3V.<br />
