Abstract:
An integrated semiconductor chip, comprising:a plurality of internal terminals; and a plurality of leads each having a first end connected to one of said plurality of internal terminals, a second end to be connected to an external terminal of a supply voltage, and a given total length, at least one respective lead of said plurality of leads has a resistance large enough for it to sufficiently attenuate potential fluctuations at said plurality of internal terminals, the potential fluctuations being excited by current pulses on said respective lead, but said resistance being small enough to cause only a predetermined maximum permissible voltage drop for a maximum current on said respective lead, said respective lead having a cross section reduced within a delimited section effecting said resistance by virtue of the fact that said cross section of said respective lead is reduced within said delimited section and said delimited section having a length being small relative to said given total length of said respective lead.
