In general, when placing decoupling capacitors in parallel, their capacitances add and their compound ESR is reduced (like for parallel resistors). But I am a bit uncertain if/how this applies to their inductance, which is the most crucial aspect in high frequency decoupling.
One example are DC supplies which sometimes use several parallel capacitors in order to better filter the output signal and eliminate the AC ripple. By using this approach, it is possible to use smaller capacitors that have superior ripple characteristics while obtaining higher capacitance values.
Capacitors, like other electrical elements, can be connected to other elements either in series or in parallel. Sometimes it is useful to connect several capacitors in parallel in order to make a functional block such as the one in the figure. In such cases, it is important to know the equivalent capacitance of the parallel connection block.
These two basic combinations, series and parallel, can also be used as part of more complex connections. Figure 8.3.1 8.3. 1 illustrates a series combination of three capacitors, arranged in a row within the circuit. As for any capacitor, the capacitance of the combination is related to both charge and voltage:
which means that the equivalent capacitance of the parallel connection of capacitors is equal to the sum of the individual capacitances. This result is intuitive as well - the capacitors in parallel can be regarded as a single capacitor whose plate area is equal to the sum of plate areas of individual capacitors.
This equation, when simplified, is the expression for the equivalent capacitance of the parallel network of three capacitors: Cp = C1 +C2 +C3. (8.3.8) (8.3.8) C p = C 1 + C 2 + C 3. This expression is easily generalized to any number of capacitors connected in parallel in the network.
