David, You are on the right track, thinking about keeping inductance down. What will work well all depends on: 1) What impedance profile you are trying to achieve, and 2) What the stack-up is of the board you are trying to use, and 3) Where you can physically put the capacitors in relation to the pins. The short answer to your question is yes, but with conditions. But I think that may be too short and simple to really tell you what you want to know. I suggest you do some reading. You can search for any of the fine papers done by various authors once or currently still at Sun Microsystems: Larry Smith, Istvan Novak, Ray Anderson, etc. There are a number of books that deal with power delivery such as Dr. Johnson's famous: "High-Speed Digital Design", and "High Speed Signal Propagation". And then there are always my papers on power delivery available on the Teraspeed, and X2Y web sites: www.teraspeed.com, and www.x2y.com. Steve.
