voltage level conversion

2007-01-25 by haben jemal

hi
  does anybody knows an IC (non programmble) that changes voltage level from 0&5v  to -12 & 12v respectively just toss  the ic number
  thanks alot

Take a look at max232.

I would go for the MAX232 too.
I have used it in dozens of projects and found it to be very reliable.

Haven't been paying great attention to this this thread. The MAX232 is a
fun and widely available inexpensive part but if +-12 volts is essential
one is not going to get there from here. +-9 or +-10, but not 12 with the
MAX232.

You will find these under "Interface circuits" at Maxim,
Linear technology, Intersil and other. One member of the
family usually has the number "232" as in MAX232.

I assumed he was trying to change 0/5v to RS232 levels and the MAX232 does this very well.

So we are all ASS U ME ing that the op need a few mA? :)
What if he need 1A at +-12V?

1488 and 1489 RS-232 driver and receiver ships are made specifically to 
do just that.

Put a transistor (or two) on the output  to increase drive.

Wasn't itemized in the Requirements Document. All he asked for was
voltage.

Well, just follow that with an LM-12 on +/- 18V supplies, configured as a
buffer.
That ought to float yer boat!

Not clear - 
are you looking for a dc-dc power converter, or a level converter to
interface (say) a 5v chip to a 3.3v?  If the former, what power level
and efficiency are you willing to pay for?  There are some really
nifty led drivers in the $2 and under range.
If the latter, most of the analog interface companies have a couple of
lines.  I like Maxim's parametric search, but TI, Linear, and probably
Analog Devices make them.  I think I search on "voltage level
conversion ic" or "ttl conversion ic".

He obviously means 5v logic to RS232.
MAX232 is a great chip I have used loads of times.
