REF5050: Bypass capacitor distance

Part Number: REF5050

Hello,

The customer wants to know how much distance bypass capacitor can be apart from IC. Would you advice it?

Best regards,

Toshihiro Watanabe

  • Hi Toshihiro,

    The REF5050 datasheet in section 12 specifies as close as possible.

    While I there is no maximum distance away from the IC, it is best to have it close as possible. This is also dependent on how noisy the supply it. If The supply is "clean" then the distance can be a bit further away. If the supply is noisy, I would not put it more than several mm away.
