RS232 driver in a SOT-23-6 footprint
The MAX3190EEUT+T is a single RS232 line driver in a SOT-23-6 package, delivering 460 Kbps data rate over a 4.5V to 6V supply range. Full-duplex operation with 100 mV receiver hysteresis ensures noise immunity on the bus. With one driver and no receiver on-chip, this part is designed for unidirectional RS232 transmission — typical in industrial sensor interfaces or configuration ports where the host side handles the receive path separately.
The 4.5V to 6V supply range covers 5V nominal rails with margin — the driver works from a regulated 5V supply or a 6V unregulated rail. Surface-mount SOT-23-6 footprint (SOT-6 supplier device package) fits tight PCB layouts; the small body keeps the signal path short for the 460 Kbps edge rate.
