This converter provides two way RS232 serial communications signal conversion between the TTL (Transistor Transistor Logic) output (from an OOPic or other PIC) to and from a personal computer RS232 serial COM port.  This converter can be used on any Micro controller/PIC which has TTL serial communications that needs to be converted to RS232.

These cables are 5V TTL signal converters.  The cable converts 0v & 5v nominal TTL signal to –12v & 12v RS232 serial signal.  We also have 3.3V TTL signal converters too.  These cables require 5V power from the TTL side to operate.

The RS232 serial cable with voltage level converter comes completely assembled.  The circuitry is built into the cable. 

For further details, downloads, and instructions see our RS232 page.

The RS232 to TTL level converter serial cable is available in two cable lengths and multiple connector configurations. 

We sell different Types of Cables/Connectors. This is a Type 2 connector.

 Type 2: RS232 to TTL signal converter serial cable (Tx, Rx, +5, GND).  It is a serial cable with two 2-pin connectors for use with the existing 40 OOPic I/O header or other PIC pinouts.  This type does not have handshaking.
