Patent ID: 7173803

Claim:
A power socket comprising: a plurality of input/output (I/O) pin sockets in a socket platform, wherein the socket platform includes a major planar surface; and an inter-digital capacitor in the socket platform, the inter-digital capacitor further including: an integrated power terminal; an integrated ground terminal; a power capacitor first plate; a ground capacitor second plate spaced apart from the first plate; at least one top power connector coupled to the power capacitor first plate; at least one top ground connector coupled to the ground capacitor second plate; at least one bottom power connector coupled to the power capacitor first plate; at least one bottom ground connector coupled to the ground capacitor second plate; wherein the power capacitor first plate is part of a plurality of power capacitor plates, and wherein the ground capacitor first plate is part of a plurality of ground capacitor plates; a dielectric material that is interdisposed between the power capacitor first plates and the ground capacitor second plates; and an encapsulation material that exposes the at least one top power connector, the at least one top ground connector, the at least one bottom power connector, the at least one bottom ground connector, and the integrated power and ground terminals.
