Take a look at TI cross. They are much cheaper, widely available. _____ From: Micron Engineering [mailto:micronpn@...] Sent: Sunday, November 07, 2004 9:18 AM To: lpc2000@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [lpc2000] MAX3232 and MAX232 Leon Heller wrote: > > >>From: "acetoel" <acetoel@...> >>Reply-To: lpc2000@yahoogroups.com >>To: lpc2000@yahoogroups.com >>Subject: [lpc2000] MAX3232 and MAX232 >>Date: Sun, 07 Nov 2004 16:50:26 -0000 >> >> >> >>Hello... >>I'm makign my own board for LPC.

You have to read carefully datasheet and see output voltage swing in function of Vcc and you may see that may drop down to 4.5V that is a very bad value.
