MAX3232 - UART/RS232 converter working both for 5V i 3.3V
Replaced by: MAX3232 - RS232-TTL converter
MAX3232 - is UART/RS232 converter. With this chip You can connect Your microcontroller to RS232.
UART uses TTL logic levels (0 and 5V in most types Arduinos). RS232 uses -12V and +12V thus connecting UART directly to RS232 interface will damage UART port in Your microcontroller. With this converter connection can be made.
