Capacitor Selection
The charge pumps of Maxim RS-232 transceivers rely on capacitors to convert and store energy, so choosing these capacitors affects the circuit's overall performance. Although some data sheets indicate polarized capacitors in their typical application circuits, this information is shown only for a customer who wants to use polarized capacitors. In practice, ceramic capacitors work best for most Maxim RS-232 ICs.
Choosing the ceramic capacitor is also important. Capacitor dielectric types of Z5U and Y5V are unacceptable because of their incredible voltage and temperature coefficients. Types X5R and X7R provide the necessary performance.
