Micrel, Inc. MIC861 Functional Characteristics (Continued) Applications Information Regular supply bypassing techniques are recommended. A 10µF capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF capacitor on both the positive and negative supplies is ideal. For best performance, all bypassing capacitors should be located September 9, 2014 as close to the op amp as possible and all capacitors should be low equivalent series inductance (ESL) and equivalent series resistance (ESR). Surface-mount ceramic capacitors are ideal. 10 Revision 3.0
