Abstract
A system-on-chip or other circuit has an on-chip noise-free ground which is added to divert ground noise from the sensitive nodes. An on-chip decoupling capacitor, tuned in resonance with the parasitic inductance of the interconnects, can be provided to add an additional low impedance ground path.
