A balanced frequency responsive circuit comprising circuit components formed in a semiconductor chip having first and second on-chip contact terminals which connect to first and second off-chip contact terminals, respectively, and a balanced parallel resonator circuit coupled to the contact terminals. The resonator circuit comprises a capacitance portion and an inductance portion. Part of the capacitance portion is on-chip connected between the first and second on-chip contact terminals. Another part of the capacitance portion and the inductance portion are off-chip series connected between the first and second off-chip contact terminals such that the contact terminals are comprised in a single resonant loop, essentially producing no spurious resonance signals.
A balanced frequency responsive circuit comprising circuit components formed in a semiconductor chip having first and second on-chip contact terminals which connect to first and second off-chip contact terminals, respectively, and a balanced resonator circuit coupled to said first and second on-chip contact terminals and said first and second off-chip contact terminals, said resonator circuit comprises a capacitance portion and an inductance portion, wherein part of said capacitance portion is on-chip connected between said first and second on-chip contact terminals, and another part of said capacitance portion and said inductance portion are off-chip series connected between said first and second off-chip contact terminals, such that said on-chip and off-chip connected resonator portions form a balanced parallel resonator circuit comprising said first and second on-chip contact terminals and said first and second off-chip contact terminals in a single resonant loop.
An integrated semiconductor device, comprising circuit components formed in a semiconductor chip, said circuit components forming at least part of a frequency responsive circuit having first and second on-chip contact terminals which connect to first and second off-chip contact terminals, respectively, for connecting a balanced resonator circuit which comprises a capacitance portion and an inductance portion, wherein part of said capacitance portion of said resonator circuit is on-chip connected between said first and second on-chip contact terminals, such that by off-chip series connection between said first and second off-chip contact terminals of another part of said capacitance portion and said inductance portion a balanced parallel resonator circuit is formed comprising said first and second on-chip contact terminals and said first and second off-chip contact terminals in a single resonant loop.
