#178081 - All capacitors are correctly oriented! Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Andy Neil said:
Because that is the way that the Datasheet tells you to do it! You don't even have to download the full datasheet - even the "quick-view" page on the Maxim site has the schematic: 
http://www.maxim-ic.com/datasheet...vp/id/1798 None of those capacitors is reversed! C4 is connected between V- (the negative voltage output) and GND: so, clearly, the capacitor's negative terminal goes to V- and the positive to GND - which, in this case, is the more positive potential. There is nothing at all strange or unusual here! |

| why it has to done in that way? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |

| I already answered what the capacitor is used for | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Don't worry... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| It shouldn't look strange for a moment! | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| and the pin is named V- | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
