Hi folks,
Looking at the previous post of the Rev C/D? board using bypass caps on the electrolytics I am inspired to ask this question.
I have a rev B version - which instead of 4 120uF Electrolytic caps has 8 220uF caps. I had though about replacing them with something fancier, but I wonder if just putting some bypass caps on the reverse side of the board might be a better idea.
Using the 10% rule of thumb, I should probably use 22uF caps to bypass them with.
My questions are - 1. Is this worthwhile? 2. Can I use a smaller bypass cap - say 1.0uF? and finally what significance is the difference between the 2 version with respect to these caps (8x220uf vs 4x120uF).
