MAX232 Serial Level Converter – SMD – 5Pcs

The MAX232 Serial Converter – SMD IC is used to convert the TTL/CMOS logic levels to RS232 logic levels during serial communication of microcontrollers with PC. The controller operates at TTL logic level (0-5V) whereas the serial communication in PC works on RS232 standards (-25 V to + 25V). This makes it difficult to establish a direct link between them to communicate with each other.The intermediate link is provided through MAX232. It is a dual driver/receiver that includes a capacitive voltage generator to supply RS232 voltage levels from a single 5V supply. Each receiver converts RS232 inputs to 5V TTL/CMOS levels. These receivers (R₁ & R₂) can accept ±30V inputs. The drivers (T₁ & T₂), also called transmitters, convert the TTL/CMOS input level into RS232 level
