MAX232N Pinout

MAX232N Pinout
The MAX232N is a dual driver/receiver IC designed to convert TTL logic levels to RS-232 signal levels, and vice versa. It is commonly used in serial communication applications where a microcontroller or TTL device needs to communicate with RS-232 devices. The chip features 16 pins, including charge pump capacitor connections, two transmitters (T1, T2), and two receivers (R1, R2), as well as power and ground pins. This pin configuration ensures proper signal translation and reliable communication.
