Guys,
It was mentioned more than once that MAX232 draws too much
current to be powered by the PC serial port. I wonder if
DS275 might be good for this, seems to be low power. I have
used these instead of MAX232 with very good results. I like
how they are small (8-pin DIP) and require no external caps.
Check the data sheet and let me know what you think.
