Abstract
An analog-digital hybrid IC device for reducing cross-talk adds an electrostatic capacitance element to the power supply side and/or the ground side of a CMOS logic circuit forming the digital circuit part, connects a resistance between the electrostatic capacitance element and the terminal to which the electrostatic capacitance element was added, and buffers charging and discharging when the logic elements switch on and off to reduce noise produced by current peaks.
Claims12
A low switching noise logic circuit comprising:
- a capacitive element added to a power source side and/or a ground side of a CMOS logic circuit;
- and
- a resistive element connected between the capacitive element and terminal on the side to which the capacitive element is added;
- wherein a time constant determined by the capacitive element and resistive element is sufficiently greater than a time constant determined by a capacity and resistance of the CMOS logic circuit.
An analog-digital hybrid IC device having a CMOS logic circuit and analog circuit formed on a same substrate, said device comprising:
- a capacitive element added to a power supply side and/or a ground side of a CMOS logic circuit;
- and
- a resistive element is connected between the capacitive element and terminal on the side to which the capacitive element is added;
- wherein a time constant determined by the capacitive element and resistive element is sufficiently greater than a time constant determined by a load capacity and on resistance of a transistor in the CMOS logic circuit.
