Abstract: High frequency noise is decoupled from a bus conductor which supplies power to an integrated circuit by providing a metalized ceramic chip either on top of an integrated circuit or on the back side of a circuit board in direct alignment with an integrated circuit. The ceramic chip is provided with a pair of rectangular leads, connected to respective of the metalized opposite surfaces thereof, which are respectively connected to the power supply leads of the integrated circuit.

Abstract: A decoupling capacitor and method of manufacture thereof are presented wherein the decoupling capacitor is formed from a lead frame which contains the four leads of the capacitor (two of which are electrically inactive) on a single plane. The use of a lead frame automatically provides the dimensional tolerances necessary for encapsulation molding of the decoupling capacitor. The decoupling capacitor is a hermetically sealed capacitive unit consisting of a multilayer monolithic ceramic capacitor (for higher capacitance values in combination with other desirable properties such as flat capacitance vs. temperature characteristics), active leads bonded to the capacitor and dummy pins for auto-insertion into printed circuit boards.

Abstract: A flat decoupling capacitor having incorporated therein a multilayer chip capacitor which provides high capacitance values, local charge storage and noise decoupling for integrated circuits is presented. The decoupling capacitor essentially comprises at least two conductors electrically connected to a multilayer ceramic capacitor chip, all of which are encapsulated by an insulating material. Several embodiments are described having variations in chip dimensions, number of multilayer capacitors, number of conductors and particular structural configuration. A simplified embodiment and method of manufacture thereof is also presented.
