#102848 - It all depends upon your point of view. Responding to: ???'s previous message |
The terms are, I think, functionally equivalent - the names arise from different viewpoints on the problem:
A bypass capacitor allows transient currents to "bypass" the component in question; A decoupling capacitor de-couples the circuit node in question from the transients. The effect is the same, so the terms tend to be used interchangeably. "bypass" is probably the more accessible term? I think. |
