Regarding a device SF used to sell.

The ICL3232CP can use non polarized caps.
Does the HIN232CP require polarized caps?? These are the devices SF used to sell (maybe still do?).

I've looked at the datasheet but it mentions nothing about polarity but does show all the caps on the diagrams as being polarized.

Thanks,
Jeff

They don't have to be polarised, but if they are they have to be connected as shown.
