Microcontroller interfacing with RS 232

Standard serial interfacing of microcontroller (TTL)  with  PC or any RS232C Standard device , requires TTL to RS232 Level converter . A MAX232 is used for this purpose. It provides 2-channel RS232C port and requires external 10uF capacitors.


The driver requires  a single supply of +5V .





MAX-232  includes a Charge Pump, which generates +10V and -10V from a single 5v supply.

  • MAX232 (+5V -> +-12V converter)
  • Serial port male 9 pin connector (SER)
