In the MAX232 datasheet they indicate 1uF caps for the charge pump, but they
also show 0.1uF caps in parenthesis. As I understand it they mean that I can
still use it with the 0.1uF caps, but only achieve a lower speed; am I
right?
BTW, I could not find any info about the parenthesis values on the
datasheet.

TIA

Calvin
