#159190 - MAX232 failure
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Hmmmm

There are more "MAX 232" variants than could be counted in a week, these days.

Check carefully that your schematic and component values exact match the used chip. Dont asume that vendor X chip is the same as vendor Y chip - even if the have the same partnumber.

The original MAX 232 used four 10 µF caps if I remember correctly.

There IS counterfeit electronic components on the market. Maxim warns agaist it, and sugest that you Maxim chips at Maxim.

ha' en god søndag
