Serial Communication Standards

Serial Communication Standards

• These standards are used to connect Data terminal
equipment to data communication equipment.
• RS232 is serial communication standard protocol.
 Serial Communications Standards

Advantages
1. Data can be transferred for longer distance.
2. Data is send in bit by bit manner.

Disadvantages
1. Speed of transmission reduces.
2. Circuit becomes complex

Coverts +5V to -13V (logic 1)

Coverts 0V to +25V ( logic 0)

Advantages
1. Converts voltage levels
2. Easy to interface

Disadvantages
1. Only two microcontroller can be interfaced.

Interfacing
 Difference between RS232 and MAX232
RS232
1. RS232 means recommend standard
number 232.
2. It is DCE to DTE connecting cable.
3. It has 9 pins.
4. Used as bidirectional communication
of data in serial manner.
MAX232
1. MAX232 is known as RS232 transceiver
made by maxim cooperation.
2. It is (Bidirectional) level converter
Integrated circuit.
3. It has 16 pins.
4. Used to covert voltage levels and helps
to interface RS232 cable with other
devices like microcontroller.
