Another decoupling question...?

so in the first diagram..

that is 'faulty'?... and will not work as is? or just be 'slower' (slower for what? to power up?)

but if I need to make changes and re-order...I'd guess I'll have to do that.

Should I just mimic the layout/schematic like in the second image then?...

This forum is totally screwing up lately - I wrote a long post, and it ate it. Short form,

  1. the 2nd image is what you normally see.
  2. you always need both electrolytic and bypass caps on the Vcc buss, although a bypass on the uC
    Vcc pins will probably be adequate if not too far from the v.reg.
  3. if the electrolytics are too large, Vcc may come up slowly, and the uC may not boot properly,
    but you'll probably not have that problem with values of 1..22 uF.
