    Low is -15.0V to -3.0V, High is 3.0V to 15.0V

  3. C.

    Low is 3.0V to 15.0V, High is -3.0V to -15.0V

  4. D.

    Low is 2.0V to 5.0V, High is 0.0V to 1.8V

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

In the RS-232 C standard, logic levels use inverted voltage polarities. A Logic High (Mark) corresponds to negative voltages from -3V to -15V, while a Logic Low (Space) corresponds to positive voltages from +3V to +15V.
