Patent ID: 7391602

Claim:
A decoupling module for decoupling high-frequency signals from a voltage supply line, the module comprising a plurality of parallel-connected capacitors (K 1 , K 2 , . . . ) which have each capacitance (C 1 , C 2 , . . . ); wherein an inductor (L 12 , L 23 , . . . ) is the inductance of the voltage supply line running between one parallel-connected capacitor, and a next parallel-connected capacitor; wherein at least one of the capacitors (K 1 , K 2 , . . . ) has a series inductance (L 1 , L 2 , . . . ) which is selected dependent on the capacitance (C 1 , C 2 , . . . ) of the capacitor (K 1 , K 2 , . . . ), and the voltage supply line inductance, so t hat a resonance is generated which compensates self-resonance of the system from at least a further capacitor (K 2 , K 3 , . . . ) and the entire voltage supply line (S).
