Description

Decoupling the power supply pins of high-speed operational amplifier circuits is critical to their operation. Decoupling is also one of the least understood topics in engineering. It is seldom given the time or care required yet it is relatively simple. This document will explain the pitfalls in decoupling and offer some correct techniques.
