Applications Information

Power Supply Bypassing

Regular supply bypassing techniques are recommended. A

10

µF capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF capacitor on both the

positive and negative supplies are ideal. For best perfor-

mance all bypassing capacitors should be located as close to

the op amp as possible and all capacitors should be low ESL

(equivalent series inductance), ESR (equivalent series resis-

tance). Surface-mount ceramic capacitors are ideal.
