Abstract
An apparatus for regulating resonance in a micro-chip has been developed. The method includes connecting a de-coupled capacitance across the supply and ground voltages, and connecting a band-pass shunt regulator that is in parallel to the capacitor across the supply and ground voltages. The regulator will short circuit the supply and ground voltages at a pre-determined frequency to reduce the resonance effect on the micro-chip.
