Wideband analog and high-speed digital integrated circuits necessarily use minimal geometry transistors whose small breakdown voltages preclude their capability to sustain large collector-emitter (or drain-source) voltages over even relatively small time periods. To protect these devices from transient voltage overstress, a second order LC filter of the form shown in Fig. (P1) is often inserted between the ON/OFF power line switch and the power supply pad of the integrated circuit. In this circuit, Rl represents the steady state load to which power is to be supplied and is nominally the ratio of the steady state load voltage -tothe steady state load current. Thus, if the desired quiescent pad voltage of an integrated circuit is 3.3 volts and if this circuit is to draw a quiescent current of 12 mA, Rl = 3.3/12 mA = 275 Ω. The filter itself consists of the inductance, Ls, which includes any parasitic inductance associated with the power supply bus line routing on chip, and the capacitance, Cl, which includes parasitic power supply pad capacitance. The resistance, Rs is generally small and includes the effects of power bus losses and finite inductance quality factor (Q). By the way, the rubberized or plastic-coated “bump” you see in the power line that connects your laptop computer to an energy source is the inductance in Fig. (P1). The indicated voltage, Vp is the Thévenin energizing voltage for the chip, while the switch, which is closed at time t = 0, allows the filter input voltage, vi(t), to emulate the step function, Vpu(t). It is to be understood that the fundamental purpose of the filter is to slow the rate of power delivery from the input port, where vi(t) is measured, -tothe output port, where voltage vo(t) is established, so that vo(t) rises monotonically with time toward its steady state value with little or no voltage overshoot.
