Hello all
I have used Max232 umpteen times.I know how to connect capacitors.
This time though ,it gets heated and eventually dies.This happens with all 232's
The power supply is 5v steady and stable generated from a 7805 and filtered appropriately.
Pin 2 is connected to 1uf electrolytic capacitor+ve and the -ve goes to Vcc=5v
Pin 6 goes to 1uf electrolytic capacitor-ve and the +ve goes to ground.
Other things are as in datasheet.
I checked TI Max232 and found out a startling thing.It says to connect
Pin 2 connected to 1uf electrolytic capacitor +ve and the -ve goes to GROUND
What could be wrong???
Expecting help as usual
