...the capacitance of the right. For an aluminium electrolytic paralleled by a 100nF cap in the MHz range, which is clearly observable by the help of scope.

You mean, together with the parasitics of the caps themselves, or including leads and board traces? And what sort of caps? Any good source of Spice models of caps (ideal caps certainly cannot be a problem)? The equivalent circuit of a cap consists of a series circuit of L, R and C. The L of the one resonates with the C of the next and only the equivalent series resistances of the caps will dampen the resonances. So, a worse cap might work better than an ideal cap. Only certain pairs of caps can be paralleled without resonances. In any case, two or more identical ones. See also figure 35 of this datasheet: http://www.analog.com/UploadedF.../AD797.pdf Kai |
