How can i calculate decoupling capacitor value? Which amount of noise we can filter use it.why use here 10uf , 0.1uf capacitor?

most likely "because the IC datasheet says so" – PlasmaHH May 16 '18 at 20:43

1Is your symbol correct? Usually `Vdd` and `Vss` would be positive supply and ground respectively. – Colin May 16 '18 at 21:17

@Colin__s checked the datasheet, turns out it says Vs in there, not Vss, meaning Supply Voltage. OP, you should totally fix that symbol, it's confusing. :) – Richard the Spacecat May 16 '18 at 21:46

1Also, a quick Eagle tip: If you want to write signals as negated, you could write them prefixed with a `!`, such as `!CS`. If you say want to negate only a part of it, you can quit negation with another `!` such as `!IO!/MEM`. – Richard the Spacecat May 16 '18 at 21:48

1Another quick Eagle tip: If you want to have multiple pins named the same in a part, add `@somerandomnumber` at the end, such as `NC@0` and `NC@1`. The part of the name after the `@` would be invisible in the schematic. – Richard the Spacecat May 16 '18 at 21:49

If you want fairly detailed tutorial on the subject, Dave Jones did a good one on [EEVblog #859](https://youtu.be/BcJ6UdDx1vg) – Phil C May 17 '18 at 05:29

It's not for amount of noise. It's to supply current (the big one) and to react quickly (the small ones). So to size the big- consider current. Analog circuits, like sensors and stuff, would want 1uF and more. Digital- depends, but normally you put 0.1uF on each VCC input. For really fast stuff it would also be 1nF for low ESL.
In most cases you will not feel a difference. When you will, it will take long hours to understand why the hell your circuit behaves weird way.

Suppose you have 1 amp surges, every 1 microsecond. What size Cbypass to use?
What if the 1 amp surge exists for 1nanosecond. What amount is charge is consumed during that 1nanosecond. Q = C * V = I * T
Q = I * T
Q = 1amp * 1nS = 1 nanoCoulomb
So what? Can your circuit tolerate 1 milliVolt of VDD sag?
C * V = Q,
C = V / Q = 1e-3 volts / 1 nanoCoulomb = 1microFarad.
Rinse the math, bring in your own assumptions, and repeat the math.

2You've got _V_ and _Q_ backwards in a derived formula. It should be _C = Q / V_ instead. – PF4Public Aug 06 '19 at 17:56
