Topic:Kt Kingtronics Capacitor placement: Cap to Cap
Content:
A capacitor only has an effect with in a certain distance from the device. The more you move away from the capacitor, the less it does. The Inductance, and Resistance (of the Trace) tend to increase. This is the reason the App notes recommend placing capacitors on the reverse side off the board - over the (power) pin. It's a trade-off between the (low Pass) filter effects of passing through a via or an elongated trace. How ever these capacitors placed out across the board do have an effect in reducing the impedance of the board ~ the power and ground planes. Assuming most of the capacitors on the board are 0.1uF by-pass caps, then placing 2uF or 4uF around the board helps the impedance.
