ABSTRACT:
The internal electrical noise generated by circuits of a VLSI chip is controlled by separating the logic circuit substrate contacts from the logic circuits ground contacts. A separate return path interconnects each contact to card ground. Further noise reduction is achieved by providing a void region between the noise generating devices and the "quiet" devices. A substrate contact ring is provided in the void region. The substrate contact ring is connected by a separate path to card ground.
