#97353 - caveats... Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Sure, there are thousands of MAX232 clones. I recently made a simple board (just the level conversion, input plug, output plug, power, passives, nothing more) based on one, simple clone pin-compatibile with MAX232, just with 100nF caps. I didn't read the data sheets too hard, it's a MAX232, what hard can there be about it? I used some generic power regulator, tested the circuit and... found out the derivative uses so much power that the regulator activates its overload protection and shuts the power down. |
