Bonjour, I second your comment on the utility of performing a frequency domain analysis. Would you please elaborate your thoughts on that: what kind of analysis are you thinking about: - PSRR? - S-parameters? (we have to ask ourselves about the validity of this kind of analysis if we deal with Digital ICs or/and strong Non-linear devices). - ??= Any other analysis I didn't think about it yet.

It's been a non-issue for long enough that the practice has been forgotten or something, but from some of my own experiences it's heading for front-burner status again. I'd suggest asking your ASIC house for AC stability data (don't forget to check for sensitivity completeness) on any high-performance I/Os that you're considering. (Yes, that's a subtle plug.)
