Yet More on Decoupling, Part 6—Steering in the Right Direction

This paper is the last in a six-part series discussing power-supply decoupling and bypass capacitors. Extending a previous four-part series, this series looks at interactions between supply and capacitor, capacitor materials, and simulation models. This paper explains how validated simulations and macromodels provide an effective approach to proper selection of bypass decoupling capacitors in op-amp and other circuits.
