Summary:Systems for power delivery to an integrated circuit include a decoupling capacitance located in a connector that is formed as a socket, or frame for the IC. The power delivery system delivers power to the IC along various surfaces thereof by way of a plurality of discrete capacitors that are supported by a socket-style connector. The socket-style connector has an insulative body portion that is mounted to a circuit board and has a recess defined thereon that receives the IC therein. A plurality of capacitors are integrated with the body portion and each of the capacitors supplies a desired amount of power to the IC. The capacitors are charged by way of leads on the circuit board that bring power to current to the capacitors and then are discharged as the IC draws power from the socket such that the capacitors form a power reservoir integrated with the socket, thereby eliminating the need for mounting such capacitors on the circuit board near the IC and freeing up space on the circuit board. L'invention porte sur un système d'alimentation pour circuits intégrés comportant une capacité de découplage située dans un connecteur en forme de douille ou de boîtier de CI. Ledit système alimente le CI par plusieurs de ses surfaces et par l'intermédiaire de différents condensateurs discrets montés dans un connecteur du type douille. Un tel connecteur comporte un corps isolant monté sur une plaquette de circuit présentant un évidement recevant le CI. Ledit corps peut recevoir plusieurs condensateurs fournissant chacun une quantité désirée d'énergie au CI. Les condensateurs, qui se chargent au moyen de conducteurs disposés sur la plaquette, se déchargent quand les circuits intégrés prélèvent du courant sur la douille. Ils constituent ainsi un réservoir d'énergie intégré à la douille, plus besoin de les monter sur la plaquette près du CI, ce qui libère de l'espace sur la plaquette.
