I have this circuit schematic that shows a *2
behind the value for Cin
and Cout
.
Does the designer mean two capacitors of that value in parallel on the input and output? Is that a common way of doing that? It looks very error prone to me.

It means you use 2 x 22 uF for the output i.e. two 22 uF caps in parallel and for the input you use 2 x 10 uF caps in parallel. It's not commonly used but I have seen it dozens of times at least.
