1.The data sheet talks about working temp. range , max power
dissipation et al(which its supposed to). However it does not give details about implementation.Let's take the Max 232 IC, it talks about a dc-dc converter operation and typical operation; ie how it can be interfaced with a uC like 8051 & a PC, and how it plays the role of converting the logic levels(if that can be said , correctly).. When I say a transceiver , what exactly am I talking about ? if I understand it correctly , its a combination of transmitter and receiver & hence transceiver , and communicates in both the directions .. ie slaves to master or vice versa.
Also that the direction of communication can be controlled by suitably interfacing the different pins with the uC.
My question then is ,How exactly am I acheiving this? (ie the
bidirectional control of data flow and the transceiver operation).
2.The components I've selected are irreplacable, because of cost constraints and availability of components and cross compilers.
