Hi Lynne, This is what exactly what is wanted to ask. If the slew rate is 1v/ns, then my 0.1uF capacitor value (designers blindly using value) will not support due to existance inductive nature at that frequency. So kindly give some reference / notes so that choosing right value. --- On Mon, 3/15/10, Lynne D. Green <lgreen22@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Lynne D.

If it is a wide range (generally true) then one would use more than one value of capacitor. Remember, capacitor impedance increases at high frequency due to inductive package effects.
