RS-232 is a standard for serial communication introduced in 1962 that defines the electrical characteristics and timing of signals. It allows for both synchronous and asynchronous data transmission between DTE (data terminal equipment like computers) and DCE (data communication equipment like modems). The standard has limitations like low transmission speeds and large voltage swings, leading to the development of newer standards like USB. Key aspects of RS-232 include various pins for handshaking signals to coordinate data transfer between devices.

INTRODUCTION.
RS-232 (Recommended Standard 232). It is basically a interface standards. It is commonly used in computer serial ports. The standard defines the electrical characteristics and timing of signals. The current version of the standard is TIA232-F ,issued in 1997.

History.
RS-232 was first introduced in 1962. For many years, an RS-232-compatible port was a standard feature for serial communication. The standard continued to be revised and updated by the Electronic Industries Alliance and since 1988 by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA). The C revision of the standard was issued in August 1969.

STANDARD.
In RS-232, user data is sent as a timeseries of bits. Both synchronous and asynchronous transmissions are supported by the standard. RS-232 devices may be classified as Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) or Data Communication Equipment (DCE), this defines that each device which wires will be sending and receiving each signal. DTE refers to terminals and computers that sends and receives data. DCE refers to communication equipment, such as modems, that are responsible for data transferring.

Limitations of the Standard.


The limited transmission speed, relatively large voltage swing, and large standard connectors motivated development of the universal serial bus(USB) which has displaced RS-232. Multi-drop connection among more than two devices is not defined. Also multi-drop have limitations in speed and compatibility.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF RS-232 CABLES.

RS-232 pins.

Examining RS-232 handshaking signals.


To ensure fast and reliable data transmission between two devices, the data transfer must be coordinated. Many of the pins of RS-232 connector are used for handshaking signals.
