CAPACITOR WITH FUSE PROTECTION

摘要

An embodiment is a circuit. The circuit includes active circuitry, a first capacitor, a first fuse, a second capacitor, and a second fuse. The active circuitry has a first power node and a second power node. The first capacitor is coupled to the first fuse serially to form a first segment. The second capacitor is coupled to the second fuse serially to form a second segment. The first segment and the second segment are coupled together in parallel and between the first power node and the second power node.
