Dear Bob Just a point - smaller is not always better. AVX and maybe some others make 0612 capacitors for decoupling. They are the same size as the normal 1206 size but are metallised along their long edges. This reduces their ESL considerably, to the extent that (according to manufacturer's

I have found removal of inductance at power pins often REDUCES emissions. When this is so, it is because designers who put it in did not insure there was sufficient local capacitance to hold up Vcc while the isolated device switches. This has happened to me often enough that when I see series

Hmmm. I've read a couple of other replies on this...good suggestions. I have also read your re-replies which suggest that you have a two layer planeless board. I understand that you are trying to get an unwanted 156Mhz off of the 5V line. A couple of thoughts come to mind. First 156Mhz

Amund, In the absence of any layout information that can evaluate the loop inductances, I suggest you read what I wrote about placing two capacitor in parallel which can be found on Chapter 3 of my thesis. A link is available in: http://www.geocities.com/timfoo6143/index.html BTW, how about

Capacitors can continue to function quite well above their self resonance. You should not be worrying about choosing a cap based on self resonance per se. However, it is standard practice to parallel a 0,1 uF bulk bypass cap with a much smaller NP0 or C0G type (say 470 pF or 1 nF), especially

Yes, it makes sense. But the goal here is preventing or reducing Vcc drop during the time the microprocessor is switching. You need not only low reactance, but *also* enough capacitance to supply the current needed _while it is switching_. You have not given enough information here to tell if
