Kevin P. Fleming<p>I'm designing a small circuit board which will have an STM32 microcontroller.</p><p>One document from STMicro says that the part must have two capacitors to filter the power supply, a 'ceramic' cap at 100nF, and a 'chemical' cap at 4.7uF.</p><p>Another document says they should both be ceramic caps, and the Nucleo64 evaluation board (sold by STMicro) uses ceramic caps for both.</p><p>Should I bother using a different cap for the larger value? If so, what qualifies as a 'chemical' capacitor, just electrolytics?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.km6g.us/tags/Electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Electronics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.km6g.us/tags/Capacitors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Capacitors</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.km6g.us/tags/SchematicDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SchematicDesign</span></a></p>
