Is anyone who can tell me how is working MAX232???
 

Re: MAX232

it convert signals from RS232 to TTL or Viseversa

in RS232 +3v to 15V logic 0
in RS232 -3v to -15V logic 1

so in Max232 coverts the logic from TTL to RS232 by using the voltage doubler ... basically the capacitors around the Max232 works as a voltage doubler
 

Re: MAX232

Have you got any tutorial or other helpful paper please upload
 

Re: MAX232

I believe it's been explained in detail in their datasheet.
 

Use Data Sheet

The MAX 232 converts the RS-232 level to the TTL level and vice versa.

The detail of the working is given in the data sheet.

There are some circuits also available on the net, by using these circuits you can convert one level to the other level.

These circuits and the details are avialble on the NET.

Take care
