using Capacitors to block variations in source voltage?

We can do this by putting a capacitor across it. Depending on the frequency range of the problem different types and sizes of capacitors may be used, but as a rule of thumb for moderate frequencies sticking a 100nF ceramic capacitor across each pair of power/ground pins as close to the chip as practical is normally sufficient.
