#147887 - This depends on your application
Responding to: ???'s previous message
In mixed analog digital applications I use a LRC-filter for each chip (even the digital ones) consisting of a soft ferrite bead in 0603 package (about 1µH effective inductance), a 4R7 minimelf SMD-resistor and a 10µF/10V/X5S ceramic high cap in 0805 package.

Applications not being very demanding can have one 47nF ceramic cap for about each group of about five chips, on the other hand.

Everything between can be seen and can be useful. It always depends!

The decoupling element shouldn't be greater than 0805, otherwise package inductance can be too high. Avoid paralleling. And, the most important of course, use a solid ground plane.

If you ask me, then don't use small capacitances. The smaller this capacitance, the higher the resonance frequency in combination with Vcc trace inductances and the lower the dampening of these resonances. Take at least 100nF for each chip. Increase the capacitance if you like, but don't lower it. But remember, the package must not be bigger than 0805.
