Single Ceramic Capacitor for Both Noise and Ripple

Single Ceramic Capacitor for Both Noise and Ripple  

Question Can I improve the bypassing by several identical capacitors in parallel  

Answer Yes, but only to some extent. The overall ESL (equivalent series inductance) and ESR are reduced, 

Note that a quiet supply line almost always helps in debugging, whatever the problem being investigated. And luckily, enhancing the input filtering rarely causes any problems. So I 

Thick solder on sides to get them to share properly
