I dutifully read this thread regarding decoupling caps . In the thread Sarge says "require one 0.1uF/100nF cap across the Vcc/Vdd/GND supply right at the IC itself".
I know the cap should be as close to the VDD as possible, But does the above mean i needs to go to the ground of the chip?
For example, on my PIC VDD is pin 1 and VSS is pin 20. Should the cap really go from pin 1 to pin 20 or is going to ground from pin 1 ok?
