Equivalent Capacitor Circuit

Design Hints
When possible always use low ESR capacitors. Normally a capacitor below .01uF are by definition low ESR.
Higher value ceramic capacitors, Tantalum and Electrolytic types need to be checked for its ESR value. ESR Definition.
Always use chip capacitors [surface mount], never use leaded parts [through-hole], lower inductance. LICC Definition
