Bypass caps (was:Re: [sdiy] Silly question about dual vs. quad op amps

That's a good question - How do You bypass OPAMPs?

I can see James posted already - For a quad, Do You use 2 caps between
GND and both supplies? How those are sized?

The others. Your using bypass scheme for OPAMPs - How do you do it? Or
let's say for analog power?

Bye, Samppa

I use a single sided power supply. +12V only. (works with analog and
CMOS.) I use one medium cap in each module where power enters the
module. A second cap to filters any internal bias supplies. That's it,
unless the module has a problem. Then I add an aditional cap where it
will clear up the problem. This takes more time to clear problems but
less cost in bypass caps.

Who leans toward the less is better method of design. (But not always,
and not when it entails more work for software - just an old fogey who
prefers hardware to software.)
