Capacitor Footprint Selection
@U2 what capacitor foot prints do I use for tht
Thought for 25 sec
For proper decoupling you should add capacitors on both the VI (input) and VO (output) pins of U2. In a through-hole design you typically use radial-leaded capacitor footprints. For example:
- A 0.33 µF capacitor (with a THT radial-leaded footprint) on the input.
- A 0.1 µF capacitor (with a similar THT radial-leaded footprint) on the output.
Make sure the chosen capacitor footprints match the physical package of your available through-hole components. If you haven’t selected specific parts yet, check the Flux library for standard through-hole capacitor footprints (commonly referenced with designators like C?) that fit your design needs.
why do I need to upgrade to download gerber files?
