Eric Bogatin explains the physics and practical guidelines for choosing and placing decoupling capacitors on a PCB to maintain signal integrity.

Practical examples to show what decoupling capacitors do. Explained by Eric Bogatin. Thank you Eric.

What people say. Recommended as an excellent resource for understanding how to properly size and place decoupling capacitors to minimize rail drop.

On “Isn't 1 decoupling cap per pin enough? Almost all designs for this IC use 2 per, their boards have double sided assembly but mine isn't - I don't have space.”

Benki spot on with the advice. I have been doing the same and all my designs work well (minimal rail drop). I started doing this after watching link to this video
