The AC analysis is used to evaluate the stability of regulation loops of switched-mode power supplies, as well as the stability of networks of power supplies. Stability criteria like phase and gain margins, or the Middlebrook impedance criterion, can be applied to the Bode plots produced by the AC analysis. But it is very tricky
