Abstract:
A common-mode suppressor for eliminating common-mode noise in high frequency differential data transmission systems and an associated method includes a long coiled differential transmission line configured to transfer data between a source and a load. The differential transmission line comprises a first conductive wire and a second conductive wire which are inductively and capacitively coupled and are laterally aligned or vertically aligned with each other. Further, the differential transmission line is matched for differential signals and un-matched for common-mode noise.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor substrate, an anorganic isolation layer on the semiconductor substrate and a metallization layer on the anorganic isolation layer. The metallization layer comprises a fuse structure. At least in an area of the fuse structure the metallization layer and the anorganic isolation layer have a common interface.

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor body including an upper surface, input and output terminals disposed on the upper surface of the semiconductor body, first and second p-n junction devices that are monolithically integrated in the semiconductor body, and a signal line protection circuit connected between the input and output terminals and comprising a low-pass filter and a voltage clamping device, wherein each of the low-pass filter and the voltage clamping device include the first and second p-n junction devices.
Abstract:
An ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection device includes a first III-nitride p-i-n diode and a second III-nitride p-i-n diode connected to the first III-nitride p-i-n diode in an antiparallel arrangement configured to provide voltage clamping at 5V or less under forward bias of either the first or second III-nitride p-i-n diode for transient current in both forward and reverse directions. A corresponding method of manufacturing the ESD protection device is also provided.
