Abstract: A low capacitance transient voltage suppressor is disclosed. The transient voltage suppressor comprises a first diode with a first anode thereof coupled to an I/O port. A first cathode of the first diode and a second cathode of a second diode are respectively coupled to two ends of a resistor. A second anode of the second diode is coupled to a low-voltage terminal. A third anode and a third cathode of a third diode are respectively coupled to the second cathode and the resistor. The third diode induces a third parasitic capacitance smaller than a first capacitance of the first diode and a second parasitic capacitance of the second diode, and the third parasitic capacitance in series with the first and second parasitic capacitances dominate a small capacitance in a path during normal operation.

Abstract: An integrated circuit common-mode electromagnetic interference filter incorporating electro-static discharge protection comprising two inductive coils is provided. A pair of primary and secondary spiral inductor coils is disposed corresponding to each other. A dielectric layer is used to separate the primary spiral inductor coil from the secondary spiral inductor coil electrically. Resistivity of a high-resistance substrate is more than 100 ?-cm for supporting the primary spiral inductor coil, the secondary spiral inductor coil and the dielectric layer thereon. The proposed filter structure can be formed in integrated circuit (IC) back-end processes and thus be extraordinarily advantageous of effectively eliminating electromagnetic interferences and having electrostatic protection effect at the same time, while having small footprint.

The filter comprises at least one circuit composed of a diode and an inductor connected in series, wherein the diode induces a parasitic capacitance and the circuit is grounded. When a number of the circuit is two, a passive element is coupled between the two inductors and cooperates with them to induce two parasitic capacitances connected with the circuits. When a number of the circuit is one, two diodes respectively connect with the inductor through two passive elements. Each diode can induce a parasitic capacitance. The two passive elements and the inductor can induce a parasitic capacitance connected with the circuit.
