ORDERING INFORMATION
Model 232OTTL converts RS-232 signals to 0-5 VDC TTL levels. The 232OTTL
provides 1500V optical isolation. Two channels are used to convert from RS-232
to TTL signals and two channels are used to convert from TTL signals to RS-232.

These converters support RD, TD, RTS, and CTS. The RS-232 side is a DB25P
male connector (DCE). The TTL side is a DB25S female connector. The 232OTTL
supports up to 38.4K baud.

AC input, International AC blades
It is important that only TTL logic (0 to +5V) is used for the TTL side of the
converter. The maximum sinking current for one TTL output is 8 mA. The
maximum source current for one TTL is 0.8 mA. Signal levels are inverted by the
converter in its standard configuration as shown in Table 1.

Operations Requiring Modification
Model 232OTTL may be modified to non-inverted signals as shown in Table
2 by placing a jumper wire across JP1:A labeled "NI".

Power
Model 232OTTL requires both port power on the RS-232 side, and an external
+12VDC power supply connected either through 2.5mm jack or pins 12(GND) and
25(+12VDC) on the TTL side.

+5 V minimum, +9V typical

-5 V maximum, -9V typical
Model 232OTTL may also be modified to accept a +5V supply on the TTL
side. Remove the 0 Ohm surface mount resister labeled R13 and place a
jumper wire across JP1:B labeled +5V. A +4.75 to +5.25V at a maximum
of 25mA is necessary to power the TTL side of the converter when this
modification is made.
Port power is derived from the outputs of the host RS-232 port. TD, RTS, and DTR
lines may be used to port power the RS-232 side. A minimum of two of these lines
in either high or low states is required for proper operation. To externally power the
RS-232 side, connect the positive lead of the +12VDC power supply to pin 25 and
the GND lead to pin 12 of the DB25 female connector.
