Abstract
A filter is formed as an integrated circuit by resistive and capacitive elements and includes, for connection to ground, at least two separate pads of a chip designed to be connected individually to at least two separate terminals of a package.
Claims31
An integrated circuit filter on an integrated circuit chip, the filter comprising by resistive and capacitive elements, and including at least two distinct pads of the integrated circuit chip for connection to ground, the at least two distinct pads of the integrated circuit chip capable of being individually connected to at least two separate terminals of an integrated circuit package, and further being connected separately to different ones of the resistive or capacitive elements of the integrated circuit filter.
An integrated filter comprising:
- a filter circuit on an integrated circuit chip, the filter circuit including at least two capacitive elements configured for separate connection to ground;
- and
- at least two distinct pads on the integrated circuit chip, each of the pads being separately connected to a respective one of the capacitive elements of the filter circuit.
An integrated filter comprising:
- a filter circuit on an integrated circuit chip, the filter circuit including at least two elements configured for separate connection to ground;
- and
- at least two distinct pads on the integrated circuit chip for connection of the filter circuit to ground, each of the distinct pads being separately connected to a respective one of the elements of the filter circuit.
A method for making an integrated filter on an integrated circuit chip, comprising:
- fabricating on the integrated circuit chip a filter circuit including at least two capacitive elements configured for separate connection to ground;
- providing at least two distinct pads on the integrated circuit chip for connection of the capacitive elements;
- and
- separately connecting each of the pads to a respective one of the capacitive elements.
