16-Bit Microcontrollers with
Infrared Module and Optional USB
General Description
The MAXQ612/MAXQ622 are low-power, 16-bit MAXQM
microcontrollers designed for low-power applications
including universal remote controls, consumer elec-
tronics, and white goods. Both devices use a low-
power, high-throughput, 16-bit RISC microcontroller.
Serial peripherals include two universal synchronous/
asynchronous receiver-transmitters (USARTs), two SPIK
master/slave communications ports, and an inter-inte-
grated circuit (I2C) bus. The devices also incorporate
an IR module with carrier frequency generation and
flexible port I/O capable of multiplexed keypad control.
The MAXQ622 adds a universal serial bus (USB) with
integrated physical interface (PHY).
The MAXQ612/MAXQ622 include 128KB of flash memory
and 6KB of data SRAM. Intellectual property (IP) protection is
provided by a secure memory management unit (MMU) that
supports multiple application privilege levels and protects
code against copying and reverse engineering. Privilege
levels enable vendors to provide libraries and applications to
execute on the MAXQ612/MAXQ622, while limiting access
to only data and code allowed by their privilege level.
For the ultimate in low-power battery-operated perfor-
mance, the devices include an ultra-low-power stop mode
(0.3FA typical). In this mode, the minimum amount of
circuitry is powered. Wake-up sources include external
interrupts, the power-fail interrupt, and a timer interrupt.
The microcontroller runs from a wide operating voltage of
1.70V to 3.6V, and can also be powered from the USB.
