Abstract

A electronic device is provided. The electronic device comprises first and second electrodes and a first floating metal ring. The first and second electrodes are formed in a first layer. The first floating metal ring is formed in the first layer and encloses the first electrode and the second electrode. Thus, noise on a conducting line near the electronic device does not directly affect differential signals on the first and second electrodes.
