Default does it makes sense to use electrolytic can as bypass cap ?

It creates an RC low-pass filter to smooth out the power even

more
than just a capacitor can do. I do something similar on chips

that
are especially sensitive to supply ripple.


thanks for reply,

so is there any magic with the 36 Ohm value anf 32.6 Volts?
could i use 30 Ohm or 47 Ohm resistor or other value ?

thanks again,
