MAX32680
Ultra-Low-Power Arm Cortex-M4F with
Precision Analog Front-End
and Bluetooth LE 5.2
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX32680 microcontroller (MCU) is an advanced
● Ultra-Low-Power Wireless Microcontroller
®
®
system-on-chip (SoC), featuring an Arm Cortex -M4F
CPU for efficient computation of complex functions and
algorithms that is qualified to operate at a temperature
range of -40°C to +85°C. The SoC integrates power reg-
ulation and management with a single-inductor multiple-
output (SIMO) buck regulator system. Onboard is the lat-
• Internal 100MHz Oscillator
• 512KB Flash and 128KB SRAM
• Optional ECC on One 32KB SRAM Bank
● Bluetooth 5.2 LE Radio
• Dedicated, Ultra-Low-Power, 32-Bit RISC-V
Coprocessor to Offload Timing-Critical Bluetooth
Processing
• Fully Open-Source Bluetooth 5.2 Stack Available
• Supports AoA, AoD, LE Audio, and Mesh
• High-Throughput (2Mbps) Mode
®
est generation Bluetooth 5.2 Low Energy (LE) radio, sup-
porting LE Audio, angle of arrival (AoA), and angle of
departure (AoD) for direction finding, long-range (coded)
modes, and high-throughput modes.
The device offers large onboard memory with 512KB flash
and 128KB SRAM, with optional error correction coding
(ECC) on one 32KB SRAM bank. This 32KB bank can be
optionally retained in BACKUP mode. An 8KB user one-
time programmable (OTP) area is available, and 8 bytes
are retained, even during power-down.
• Long-Range (125kbps and 500kbps) Modes
• Rx Sensitivity: -97.5dBm; Tx Power: +4.5dBm
• Single-Ended Antenna Connection (50Ω)
● Smart Integration Reduces BOM, Cost, and PCB Size
• Two 16-Bit to 24-Bit Δ-Σ ADCs
• 12 Channels, Assignable to Either ADC
• Flexible Resolution and Sample Rates
• 24-Bits at 0.4ksps, 16-Bits at 4ksps
• Four External Input, 10-Bit Δ-Σ ADC 7.8ksps
• 12-Bit DAC
An analog front-end (AFE) provides two 12-channel delta-
sigma (Δ-Σ) analog-to-digital converters (ADC) with fea-
tures and specifications optimized for precision sensor
measurement. Each Δ-Σ ADC can digitize external analog
signals as well as system temperature. An optional pro-
grammable gain amplifier (PGA) with gains of 1x to 128x
precedes each ADC. ADC outputs can be optionally con-
verted on the fly from integer to single-precision floating-
point format. A 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is
also included. The device also provides robust security
features such as an advanced encryption standard (AES)
engine, true random number generator (TRNG), and se-
cure boot.
