ABSTRACT:
A four terminal capacitor package has portions of the DC current bus and the DC current return bus of a power supply integrated within it, directly bonded to stick capacitor elements, to provide a very low impedance for noise between the DC current and its return. In some of the packages multiple capacitor elements are used to reduce the inductance of the AC shunt path by providing multiple parallel paths. In other embodiments of the invention the arrangement of the stick capacitors in relationship to each other and the DC buses further reduces AC noise by field separation, cancellation or absorption. The heavy buses and terminations also provide very good heat sinking for the stick capacitors, which allows them to carry larger currents.
