Abstract:
1. A power regulator including: d. a substrate having a side with at least one ground contact of an electrically conductive material formed thereon, and a substantially planar transmission line of an electrically conductive material formed thereon; e. a substantially elongated strip of electrically conductive material electrically and mechanically connected to the at least one ground contact and positioned so that a portion of the substantially elongated strip is adjacent to the substantially planar transmission line and so that a gap is formed therebetween, such that when an undesirable signal is present in the substantially planar transmission line, a resultant force is created, causing the substantially elongated strip to flex toward the transmission line, physically and electrically contacting the transmission line and thus diverting the undesirable signal to ground by passing the signal through the substantially elongated strip to the at least one ground contact; and f. the power regulator used for electrostatic discharge protection.
