Best Answer

RS-232 is ±3 to ±15, with a maximum short circuit survivability rating of ±25. Typical implementations see ±12. The negative voltage is the marking state, or the one state at the USART level. The positive voltage is the spacing state, or the zero state at the USART level. In terms of control signals, such at DTR or CTS, MARK (negative) is false, and SPACE (positive) is true. Zero volts is invalid, representing a break state.

Why ttl voltage level converting to rs232 level?

Whwn an IC is connected to a PC, then the voltage levels of these two should be synchronized. For this purpose, the TTL voltage level is converted to RS 232 level. RS 232 is the interface between a PC and an IC.


What is 232 in RS232 and MAX232?

The difference between max232 and rs232 is the voltage levels of the rs232 are high. In order to reduce those voltage means to convert those voltage levels to TTL logic levels we use max232 integrated chip which is a dual driver/ receiver.


Why do you connect capacitor in MAX232?

The input to the max232 ic will be of Transistor Transistor Logic (TTL) and its voltage range will be of 5 volt. The output of the max 232 ic will be of Recomended Standard 232 Logic (RS232 logic) and its voltage range will be of 12 volt. The max 232 ic which is operating on 5 volt supply has to step up the 5 volt input to 12 volt. Hence a capacitor is used for pumping the voltage and called as pumping capacitor.

Yes, you can get a USB to RS232 converter (aka USB to Serial).


What is the difference between rs232 and rs485 port?

Difference between Rs232 and RS485 is Only Distance RS232 is not for long or far distance .. but RS485 can be use for LONGEST distance ..RS232 is single ended communication where as RS485 is Differential communication.Max.no of receivers in RS232 is only ONE, whereas in RS485 is 32.Max.no of transmitters in RS232 is only ONE whereas in RS485 is 32.IN RS232 there is no pin to change from transmitter mode receiver mode. But, In RS485 have DE pin to set transmitter mode and RI to set receiver mode.
