I have a PC board with a FET that has a high-frequency oscillation
because of my sloppy layout.? I'm trying
to simulate the oscillation effect, but I'm unable to make my simulated circuit
oscillate!? I know that most requests to
the group are to stop the time-wasting oscillations in our simulations, ?but I need help making my circuit
oscillate.? I've uploaded my circuit (Oscillating
Miller FETs.asc) for your viewing pleasure.
The goal of my final circuit is to slow down the rise and fall
times with a large cap between the Drain and Gate, increasing the Miller Effect
that we often try to minimize.? I usually
tweak the value of the Miller Effect cap in the final circuit to balance the reduced
noise switching harmonics (30MHz, for this design) with the increased heating
losses of the slower switching speeds.?
Unfortunately, I get a burst of oscillation (150-220MHz) about half way
up the switching waveform on my circuit board.?
I've traced the problem to a long trace to a poorly placed Miller Effect
cap.? Any help in making my simulation
oscillate would be appreciated.
