Abstract
Circuit for reducing voltage oscillations created by transient pulses in the supply circuit in which a voltage-sensitive breakdown device is placed in series with the capacitor of an inductor-capacitor low pass filter. The breakdown device, having a finite threshold, provides a discontinuity in conduction during the noise pulse excursions to thereby damp any resulting oscillations.
