Abstract

High frequency noise is decoupled from power supplied to a Pin Grid Array (PGA) package by insertion of a decoupling capacitor between the PGA package and printed circuit board. The decoupling capacitor comprises a multi layer capacitive element sandwiched between a pair of conductors and having a plurality of leads extending from each conductor. In accordance with the present invention, the decoupling capacitor is individually dimensioned and configured to fit under a PGA package and correspond to the power and ground pin configuration of that PGA package.
