Abstract
A computer system uses a power distribution network arranged to propagate at least one voltage potential to an integrated circuit. A resonance detector is arranged to detect a power supply resonance. A damping circuit is operatively connected to the resonance detector and the power distribution network. The damping circuit resides external to the integrated circuit and dampens the power supply resonance under control of the resonance detector.
