Product Overview
The MAX3232 - RS232 to Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) Serial Port Converter Module is used to stabilize a Serial Communication between TTL and RS-232 ports. Most Microcontrollers these days have built-in Universally Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UARTs) that can be used to receive and transmit data serially. The MAX3232 Module has a MAX3232 IC, that facilitates serial communication between a computer and a microcontroller.
