Max232 - C3 issue


both source of max232 have ti , maxim ics. bought several ti. in datasheets, both give suggested circuit c3 switches vcc or gnd, note can connected vcc or gnd.

http://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/max220-max249.pdf

when mandatory connect negative lead of c3 vcc , when gnd?

it questionable connect 5v voltage difference between 8.5 or 10v , 5v +3.5 or +5 instead 8.5 or 10v if tied ground.

when benefit choosing 1 or circuit?

never.

c3 smooths output +ve voltage. can connected ground or vcc , same job.

when connected vcc there less voltage across cap, 8 - 5 = 3v. allow use smaller voltage rated cap, 6.5v 1 instead of 10v 1 if connected ground.
