MAX32625/MAX32626
Ultra-Low Power, High-Performance
ARM Cortex-M4F Microcontroller for Wearables
General Description
Benefits and Features
®
®
The MAX32625/MAX32626 is an ARM Cortex -M4F
32-bit microcontroller with an unconnected point unit,
ideal for the emerging category of wearable medical and
fitness applications. The architecture combines ultra-
low power, high-efficiency signal processing functionality
and ease of use. An internal 96MHz oscillator provides
high-performance capability, and the internal 4MHz oscil-
lator supports minimal power consumption for applica-
tions requiring always-on monitoring. The device provides
512kB of flash and 160kB of SRAM.
● High-Efficiency Microcontroller for Wearable Devices
• Internal Oscillator Operates Up to 96MHz
• Low Power 4MHz Oscillator System Clock Option
for Always-On Monitoring Applications
• 512KB Flash Memory (256KB “L” Version)
• 160KB SRAM (128KB “L” Version)
• 8KB Instruction Cache
• 1.2V Core Supply Voltage
• 1.8V to 3.3V I/O
• Optional 3.3V ±5% USB Supply Voltage
• Wide Operating Temperature: -30°C to +85°C
The device features four powerful and flexible power
modes. A peripheral management unit (PMU) enables
intelligent peripheral control with up to six channels to
significantly reduce power consumption. Built-in dynamic
clock gating and firmware-controlled power gating allows
the user to optimize power for the specific application.

Multiple SPI, UART, and I C serial interfaces are pro-
®
vided, as well as a 1-Wire master and USB, allowing
for interconnection to a wide variety of external sensors.
A four-input, 10-bit delta-sigma ADC monitors analog
input from external sensors.
• 27μA/MHz Low Power Mode (LP2) Current
The MAX32625L is a lower-cost version of the MAX32625,
providing 256kB of flash and 128kB of SRAM.
● Optimal Peripheral Mix Provides Platform Scalability
• SPI Execute in Place (SPIX) Engine for Memory
Expansion with Minimal Footprint
The MAX32626 is a secure version of the MAX32625.
It incorporates a trust protection unit (TPU) with encryption
and advanced security features. These features include
a modular arithmetic accelerator (MAA) for ECDSA, a
hardware PRNG entropy generator, and a secure boot
loader. Both the MAX32626 and the MAX32625 provide
a hardware AES engine.
