MAX232 Dip IC Serial to TTL, TTL to Serial Level Converter

The MAX232 is a 2 driver, 2 receiver device following EIA/TIA-232 and V.28 communication standard. It is particularly suitable for applications where ±12 V is not available. The MAX232 uses a single 5 V power supply and only four external capacitors (0.1 μF). Typical applications are in: portable computers, low power modems, interfaces translation, battery powered MAX232 system, multi-drop MAX232 networks.
