Power supply decoupling mechanism for integrated circuits

摘要

An integrated circuit is formed in a semiconductor chip and connected to at least a first source of voltage and at least a second source of voltage, negative with respect to the first source of voltage. A number of integrated circuit components are activated by the first and second sources of voltage and are interconnected to provide desired functions. An integrated circuit capacitive element in the form of the gate capacitance of a field effect transistor and in the form of a reversed biased diode is connected between the first and second sources of voltage to decouple integrated circuit inherent inductance in series with the first and second sources of voltage.
