MAX3232: 关于MAX3232CDR 串口不通

Part Number: MAX3232

Hello, during the testing phase, we found an issue with the MAX3232CDR we supply to the SMT factory. Some of the products from the same production batch are connected to the serial port, while others are not. After replacing the MAX3232CDR with another batch, the entire board will operate normally. May I ask what the reason is?

Thank you for your prompt and positive response.

Thank you in advance.
