  • Patent number: 8098471
    Abstract: One aspect is an integrated circuit arrangement. The arrangement includes a first terminal, which can be brought to a first supply potential, a second terminal, which can be brought to a second supply potential, and a supply potential path formed between the first terminal and the second terminal. There is an electrostatic discharge element at least in the supply potential path. There is a signal input pad, to which an input signal can be applied and a signal output, at an output signal can be provided. A first inductance is arranged between the signal input pad and the signal output, and a second inductance is arranged between the signal output and the first terminal.

  • Patent number: 7692588
    Abstract: A semiconductor module (1) has components (6) for microwave engineering in a plastic casing (7). The semiconductor module (1) has a principal surface (8) with an upper side (9) of a plastic package molding compound (10) and at least one active upper side (11) of a semiconductor chip (12). Disposed on the principal surface (8) is a multilayered conductor track structure (13) which alternately comprises structured metal layers (14, 15) and structured insulation layers (16, 17), where at least one of the insulation layers (16, 17) and/or the plastic package molding compound (10) has at least one microwave insulation region.

  • Patent number: 7388734
    Abstract: Integrated circuit arrangement having first and second signal input pads, to which a differential input signal is applied, and first and second signal outputs, at which a differential output signal is provided. The first signal output is coupled to the first signal input pad and the second signal output is coupled to the second signal input pad. A first capacitance is between the first and second signal input pads. First and second inductances are connected in series, are between the first and second signal input pads, and are connected in parallel with the first capacitance. A first terminal is at a first supply potential and a second terminal is at a second supply potential. A first electrostatic discharge element is between the first and second terminals. A second electrostatic discharge element is between the first terminal, on the one hand, and the first and second inductances, on the other hand.
