RE: [TCML] Ic capacitor type

["Jim Mora" <wavetuner@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Scott,

A good quality ceramic as close as possible to Vcc and ground pins on each
IC is the standard. C range is .1-.01. Here's a good laymen article on this:
http://www.seattlerobotics.org/Encoder/jun97/basics.html These will be a
smallish package for a reasonable voltage. In standard TTL this is safely at
25v. I am looking at a high quality S100 buss PCB which has tantalum (10uf I
think) and ceramics together on I/O power signals.

Subject: [TCML] Ic capacitor type

Hey guys,
    Just a quick question for those of us who don't know (aka, never 
took an electronics class) what type of capacitors should I use for an 
integrated circuit, I assume electrolytic is a no-no, but I don't know 
what to do for dielectric and voltage rating (I assume the volts will be 
low, but I don't really know.)  Also a rough indication of the minimum 
necessary wattage of resistors and potentiometers for that application 
would be appreciated, I assume that will be rather low also.  Thanks.

Scott Bogard.
