I want to place LM340S-5.0 power regulator on my board. ( 9V input and 5V output ) I designed a circuit for it, which contains one electrolitic capacitor and one diode. I want to place it on GND strip, but I do now know if it makes any difference if I put it far from 9V power source and if it should be placed close to diode and capacitor? Does placement of this components far ( 3cm ) from each other make any difference?
