Abstract

A decoupling capacitance (decap) system which includes: a decap circuit electrically coupled between a first or second reference voltage rail and a first node; and a biasing circuit coupled between the first node and correspondingly the second or first reference voltage rail. Due to the series connection between the decap circuit and the biasing circuit, the voltage drop across the biasing circuit effectively reduces the voltage drop across the decap circuit so that the voltage drop across the decap circuit is less than a voltage drop across the decap system as whole.
