hi,

".... Modern computer equipment ignores the negative level and accepts a zero voltage level as the "OFF" state. In fact, the "ON" state may be achieved with lesser positive potential. This means circuits powered by 5 VDC are capable of driving RS232 circuits directly, however, the overall range that the RS232 signal may be transmitted/received may be dramatically reduced."
Well, although it may be enough to receive "OFF" as zero voltage (my answer: wrong, bad way!) nevertheless PC still provides -12V as "OFF" when transmits. And so what does happen with your 8051 when -12V comes to RX ? Regards, Oleg |
