What is the difference between the operation of max232 and st232?
 

st max232

nothing both are RS232 driver. the only thing is the manufacturing of the IC the MAX232 is manufactured by the MAXIM and Texas Instrument while the ST232 is manufactured by the STMicroelectronics.

internal working of max232

Do they have something different function instead driving data through rs232 cable?
 

программатор на st232

Hi,
Its same ,nothing ,U have to see only the cost difference
 

programmer pic st232

I see. But is the pin configuration of st232 is the same as max232? Is it safe to replace the st232 on the circuit of max232 in the fabricated PCB which the max232 is exist in there. If the max232 IC is defected, can I replace the st232 IC?
 

st232 cost

Generally yes, check the datasheet to see what caps are used with the MAX232, some use 0.1uF some older ST232 use 10uF
 

mx232 او ic-st232

Which of those IC's(max232 and st232) is more reliable? And why?
 

st232 versus max232

I encounter some circuit that the st232 is used instead of max232. And It might have problem If I use max232 in that circuit.
 

st232

Should work, try it and find out. Unless the manufacturer said "DO NOT SUBSTITUTE" then give it a go.

Tell us what the project is and the answers will be more helpful.
 

max 232 pcb

Well' its a pic programmer. I saw some pic programmer circuit, they have st232. Well, will it still work properly when I replace st232 to max232 in that circuit?
