Abstract

An electronic system may include a first circuit driven by a first power voltage signal and a first ground voltage signal, and a second circuit driven by a second power voltage signal and a second ground voltage signal. The electronic system may also include a stabilizer coupled between a first ground terminal and a second ground terminal and suitable for blocking a current flowing from the second ground terminal toward the first ground terminal.

Claims (24)

1. An electronic system comprising:

a first circuit suitable for being driven by a first power voltage signal and a first ground voltage signal;

a second circuit suitable for being driven by a second power voltage signal and a second ground voltage signal; and

a stabilizer coupled between a first ground terminal and a second ground terminal and suitable for preventing interference from being introduced into the first ground terminal or the second ground terminal,

wherein the stabilizer includes:

a capacitor coupled between the first ground terminal and the second ground terminal; and

a resistor coupled between the first ground terminal and the second ground terminal,

wherein the capacitor and the resistor are connected in parallel.

2. The electronic system of claim 1 ,

wherein the first ground terminal is suitable for outputting the first ground voltage signal, and

wherein the second ground terminal is suitable for outputting the second ground voltage signal.

3. The electronic system of claim 2 , wherein the second power voltage signal has a greater voltage level than a voltage level of the first power voltage signal.

4. The electronic system of claim 2 ,

wherein the stabilizer includes a first drive element coupled between the first ground terminal and the second ground terminal; and

wherein the first drive element is turned on in response to the first ground voltage signal or the second ground voltage signal.

5. The electronic system of claim 2 ,

wherein the stabilizer includes a PMOS transistor coupled between the first ground terminal and the second ground terminal, and

wherein the stabilizer is suitable for clamping the first and second ground voltage signals in response to receiving a ground voltage signal.

6. The electronic system of claim 2 ,

wherein the stabilizer includes a second drive element coupled between the first ground terminal and the second ground terminal; and

wherein the second drive element is turned on in response to the first power voltage signal or the second power voltage signal.

7. The electronic system of claim 2 ,

wherein the stabilizer includes an NMOS transistor coupled between the first ground terminal and the second ground terminal, and

wherein the stabilizer is suitable for clamping the first and second ground voltage signals in response to receiving a power voltage signal.
