MAX3281EAUT+T

Maxim Integrated · Buffers / Drivers · SOT-23-6

MAX3281EAUT+T from Maxim Integrated, in a SOT-23-6. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VCC power_in Positive Supply: 3V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.5V; bypass with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND.
2 GND power_in Ground reference; all device voltages are referenced to GND.
3 RO output Receiver Output: RO is high if (VA - VB) ≥ -50mV and low if (VA - VB) ≤ -200mV.
4 B input Inverting Receiver Input; the common-mode input range is -7V to +12V.
5 EN input Receiver Output Enable (active high): drive EN high to enable RO; when EN is low, RO is high impedance.
6 A input Noninverting Receiver Input; the common-mode input range is -7V to +12V.
