Abstract
A monolithic electronic chip including: a substrate; a first circuit formed on a first circuit portion of the substrate; a second circuit formed on a second circuit portion of the substrate; and at least one conductive impedance tap formed a through-hole in the substrate. The substrate includes first and second opposing surfaces and at least one through-hole extending from the first surface to the second surface. Each of the circuit portions is disposed on one or both of the opposing surfaces. Each conductive impedance tap is coupled to the surface of the through-hole it is formed in to electrically couple the substrate to a reference voltage. The impedance between each circuit and the reference voltage via the conductive impedance tap(s) is less than the crosstalk impedance between the first circuit and the second circuit via the substrate.
