MAX3190EUT+T

Overview

The MAX3190EUT+T is a single RS-232 transmitter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand. It operates within a supply voltage range of 7.5 V to 12 V, with a typical operating voltage of 10 V. The device supports data rates up to 460 kb/s and features an output current capability of 60 mA. It is housed in a SOT-23-6 surface-mount package and includes a shutdown function for power management. The component functions as a full-duplex driver without integrated receivers.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a single RS-232 transmitter with full-duplex driver functionality
• Includes a dedicated shutdown mode to minimize power consumption during idle periods
• Designed for robust signal transmission with high output current drive capabilities

Applications

• Industrial communication systems requiring serial data transmission
• Embedded devices utilizing RS-232 protocols for peripheral interfacing
• Portable equipment powered by higher voltage DC sources

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability for the Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated origin. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or limited availability notices prior to finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel RS-232 transmitter is required in a compact SOT-23-6 footprint. It is suitable for applications needing operation from 7.5 V to 12 V supplies rather than standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic levels. Consider the 460 kb/s speed limit and lack of integrated receiver when designing the system architecture.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX3190 series of RS-232 interface integrated circuits. It serves as a specialized transmitter solution within the broader portfolio of Maxim Integrated communication components. The device complements other interface solutions by providing a focused, low-component-count option for serial data output in space-constrained designs.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications carefully if considering alternative transceivers from the same manufacturer family.
