<div dir="ltr">As near to the filtered rail input as physically possible. For op amps I typically try to put them at the top and bottom of the chips, which is a pretty common approach I've seen elsewhere also. For the quad op amps, sometimes I'll put them next to the power pins, but more commonly I do still have them at the head & tail.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jan 6, 2020 at 10:54 AM ColinMuirDorward <<a href="mailto:colindorward@gmail.com">colindorward@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Maybe this is a good place to ask: When people recommend getting those 100nf power filtering caps *near* the chip, how near are we talking?

If I remember right, then the solution is not to drive the LED directly, <br>
but to switch a bypass around the LED with an transistor, so the current <br>
is drawn always, but it is running either through the LED or through the <br>
transistor. You may have a look at the schematic of the Roland SH-101, <br>
how they do it there.<br>
