The MAXQ3210 microcontroller is a low-power, 16-bit RISC device that incorporates a driver for a high-output piezoelectric horn/transducer, an analog comparator, and a high-current I/O pin that directly drives an LED. The device is uniquely suited for cost-conscious applications such as chemical detectors, alarm systems, and white goods, but can be used in any application that requires high-performance and low-power operation. The high-performance 16-bit RISC core and 8-bit accumulators are complemented by standard amenities such as timers and digital I/O. The power consumption per MIPS ratio is among the best in the 16-bit microcontroller industry.
The MAXQ3210 is powered directly from a 6V to 9.5V source, such as a battery, but an internal voltage regulator operates the core at 5V. The microcontroller also provides a flag if the input voltage supply falls below the low-batttery detection threshold (VBF), which can be used to signal a low-voltage condition of the 9V battery. The MAXQ3212 is a general-purpose version of the MAXQ3210 that is powered directly from an external 5.0V supply.
A 1kWord EEPROM program memory stores customer application code and software algorithms. Software is programmable in-system by the ROM-based bootloader and also in-application programmable under user software control. The device provides 64 bytes of volatile SRAM and 128 bytes of EEPROM in the data memory space.
