Comment on How I leared what a decoupling capacitor is for, the hard wayparentComments−fps-hero4moI love your reverse psychology analogy. That does make me wonder, if a cap past its SRF is an inductor, and and inductor past its SRF is a cap, why not swap caps for inductors and vice versa, put an amplifier on the end and call it a day!−lefra4moYou can't, because all amplifiers oscillate (except when you need an oscillator).
