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.
Because R2D2 was already taken!
Yes on a modern computer you will need a USB to 9 pin RS232 converter or previously use the LPT parallel port.
The 232 doesn't stand or come from anywhere. It's just a reference number. RS-232 = Recommended Standard 232
Also known as a serial cable; typically with 9 or 25 pin D-sub connectors.
yes it will. More can be found in the data sheet at Conexant's web site
maximum 232
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.
RS232 means "Recommended standard no. 232", EIA standard for serial communication Thirumalesha.....
Max 232 is a commuincations device used mainly for serial commands to and from a flash rom.
RS232 is a communications protocol for electronic devices to exchange information
RS-232 serial ports are far slower than USB ports. With very few exceptions, devices that use USB ports would be impractical to use on a serial port.
rs232
Serial port, this one, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:RS-232.jpeg) it is usually coloured green on modern computers.
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.
The MAX232 is a dual driver/receiver that includes a capacitive voltage generator to supply TIA/EIA-232-F voltage levels from a single 5-V supply. Each receiver converts TIA/EIA-232-F inputs to 5-V TTL/CMOS levels. These receivers have a typical threshold of 1.3 V, a typical hysteresis of 0.5 V, and can accept ±30-V inputs. Each driver converts TTL/CMOS input levels into TIA/EIA-232-F levels. The driver, receiver, and voltage-generator functions are available as cells in the Texas Instruments LinASIC library.
yes
rs232 isfaster than rs449
