Reflectionless electronic filters, as well as a method for designing such filters is disclosed, along with a method of realizing critical subcircuits within those filters that mimic the behavior of tee- and pi-networks having negative elements, though the critical subcircuits themselves are entirely passive. This allows a much broader range of transmission responses to be realized in reflectionless form than in the prior art, and especially with lower ripple factor for deeper rejection in equal-ripple Chebyshev responses. Reflectionless filters preferably function by absorbing the stop-band portion of the spectrum rather than reflecting it back to the source, which has significant advantages in many different applications.

An electronic device includes a wiring board and a semiconductor device on the wiring board's main surface. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip on a die pad sealed by a sealing body. A back surface of the die pad is directed to a main surface of the sealing body. A back surface of the sealing body faces the main surface of the wiring board. First and second electrodes are formed on the wiring board and in the sealing body, respectively. The second electrode is disposed in the back surface of the sealing body, and is bonded to a metal plate connecting a lead and a pad. A distance between the first and second electrodes is shorter than that between the metal plate and the first electrode. The first and second electrodes overlap each other in a plan view. A capacitor is composed of the first and second electrodes.

A technique for attenuating common mode transient events uses a differential receiver circuit including a band-stop filter having a stopband f.sub.SB around a notch frequency f.sub.n of a received signal. The differential receiver circuit includes a first high-pass filter coupled in series with the band-stop filter. The notch frequency f.sub.n is less than a carrier frequency f.sub.c of a signal received by the differential receiver circuit. The band-stop filter may include a buffer circuit and a notch filter coupled in series with the buffer circuit. The notch filter may have a second stopband around the notch frequency f.sub.n. The differential receiver circuit may have a propagation delay that is independent of a pulse width of common mode transient energy attenuated by the differential receiver circuit.

Provided is a low-cost noise filter having a noise suppression effect that is not reduced even when a resonance frequency changes according to changes in temperature. A noise filter includes: a noise detection unit which detects a common mode noise; a cancellation signal output unit; an injection unit which injects a cancellation signal; and a grounded capacitor. The cancellation signal output unit includes a filter part which generates the cancellation signal from the common mode noise, and an amplification part which amplifies the cancellation signal. A temperature dependence of a product of an inductance value and a capacitance value of a main circuit portion including the noise detection unit, the injection unit, and the grounded capacitor, and a temperature dependence of a product of an inductance value and a capacitance value of the filter part, are equal to each other.
