Abstract
A device compensated for an undesired capacitance includes a first and a second node between which nodes the undesired capacitance is present. A diode driven in breakthrough is coupled between the first and the second node. As a diode driven in breakthrough exhibits the characteristics of a negative capacitance, a compensation of the undesired capacitance is achieved.
