Overview
- Delivers DC power at the intrinsic noise floor of your DC-DC, LDO or PDN
- Patented Switching Noise Jitter (SNJ) conditioning in the time and frequency domains
- One application circuit for every rail: Harmony plus two 47 µF capacitors (Type-B). No small-value capacitors.
- Micro-ohm flat PDN impedance from baseband to multi-GHz
- Improves transient response by removing parasitic inductance, anti-resonance peaks, LC tank ringing and overshoot
- Frees up to 90% of PDN board area by replacing up to 80% of its passive components
- Purely passive: draws no power
In the power chain, Harmony's time-domain conditioning suppresses SNJ and chaotic noise from a switching supply. That shrinks the high-speed current loops, removes EMI, stabilizes the regulator and improves conversion efficiency. It also keeps noise from one part of a circuit, including simultaneous switching noise and ground bounce, from spreading. In the signal chain, its native 700 Hz cutoff cleans up slow sensors such as geophones without power-hungry digital filtering.

- Data center: timing, TIA, laser source and driver, equalizer, cable driver, SerDes, photodiode, ACC, AEC, AOC, OSFP, QSFP
- Wireless: timing, digitizer, backhaul, SoC, LNA, 5G, 6G, GPS, satellites, modular spacecraft
- Computing: GPU, TPU, DDR, HBM, memory controller, SSD, quantum
- Signal processing: ADC, DAC, FPGA

Performance
Insertion loss of the part alone, in Type-B, and in dual Type-B up to 20 GHz. Plotted from instrument marker readings.
Insertion loss (S21), 30 kHz to 20 GHz
- Harmony alone (native)
- Type-B: Harmony + two 47 µF
- Dual Type-B, two EVBs in series
Lines join the instrument marker readings on a log axis. Between 2 MHz and 500 MHz the Type-B trace sits on the network analyzer’s own noise floor, so the true attenuation there is deeper than the plot can show, below the noise floor of most instruments: about −120 dB with a single Type-B, and −140 to −160 dB with dual Type-B. Conventional capacitor networks reach 80 to 90 dB at best.

The Type-B circuit
Place Harmony at the point of load with two 47 µF, 10 V capacitors at VOUT. No small-value capacitors. Use the same three parts on every rail, and use two Type-B stages in series to reach 20 GHz.
- Near a switcher, put pin 1 close to the power inductor and the feedback node.
- Connect each GND pad to the plane with vias right at the pad. Stitch the ground layers generously.
- Return the bulk capacitors to the ground plane, not to Harmony’s GND pad.

IMS 2025: Harmony noise-free filter demo by Dr. Shahriar Shahramian
Dr. Shahriar Shahramian, Director of the ASICs & Packaging Research Lab at Nokia Bell Labs and founder of The Signal Path, demonstrates the TSNJ-5A6L26.
LT8622S switching noise, part 2: the Silent Switcher becomes noise-free
Harmony takes the 2 MHz fundamental from about −59 dBm to −97 dBm (≈ 8.9 µVp-p) and removes microwave spurs.
Silent Switcher EMI, part 2: one filter at the point of load
A single TSNJ-5A6L26 at the point of load restores the rail to the Silent Switcher’s own noise floor, and even lower.
