The V V+, V– (Pins 2, 10, 11 and Pins 3, 9, 12/Pins 3, 6): Power OCM pin should be bypassed with a high quality ceramic bypass capacitor of at Supply Pins. It is critical that close attention be paid to least 0.01μF, to minimize common mode noise from being supply bypassing. For single supply applications it is converted to differential noise by impedance mismatches recommended that a high quality 0.1μF surface mount both externally and internally to the IC. ceramic bypass capacitor be placed between V+ and V– with direct short connections.

For dual (split) power supplies, it is recommended PNP or both) is sensing the input signal. The VTIP pin is that additional high quality, 0.1μF ceramic capacitors are set by an internal resistive divider between the supplies, used to bypass V+ to ground and V– to ground, again developing a default 1.55V voltage with a 3V supply.

Keep in mind that small geometry (e.g. 0603 VTIP pin should be bypassed with a high quality ceramic or smaller) surface mount ceramic capacitors have a much bypass capacitor of at least 0.01μF.
