General Description
The MAX3188/MAX3189 single RS-232 transmitters in a SOT23-6 package are for space- and cost-constrained applications requiring minimal RS-232 communications. These devices consume only 150µA of supply current from ±4.5V to ±6V supplies. RS-232 data transmission is guaranteed up to 250kbps with the MAX3188 and up to 1Mbps with the MAX3189.
