An input circuit for an integrated circuit (IC), which is mounted on a package
having an input pin, rejects signal energy at a first frequency. A first bondwire
arranged on the package has one end that communicates with the pin and an opposite
end that communicates with components of the IC. A second bondwire located on the
package has one end that communicates with the pin and an opposite end that communicates
with a capacitance. The capacitance and an inductance of the first and second bondwires
resonate at the first frequency to reject signal energy at the first frequency.
Bondwires are also used to eliminate external components such as resonant components
and impedance matching circuits to reduce cost.
