Arm Cortex-M4 with FPU Microcontroller and
Bluetooth LE 5 for Industrial and Wearables
MAX32690
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX32690 microcontroller (MCU) is an advanced
● Ultra-Efficient Microcontroller for Battery-Powered
®
®
system-on-chip (SoC) featuring an Arm Cortex -M4F
CPU, large flash and SRAM memories, and the latest gen-
Applications
• 120MHz Arm Cortex-M4 Processor with FPU
• Ultra-Low-Power, 32-Bit RISC-V (RV32)
Coprocessor Available to Offload Data Processing
• 7.3728MHz and 60MHz Low-Power Oscillators
• External Crystal Support (32MHz Required for
Bluetooth LE)
• 32.768kHz RTC Clock (Requires External Crystal)
• 8kHz Always-on Ultra-Low Power Oscillator
• 3.25MB Internal Flash, 1MB Internal SRAM
• 85μW/MHz ACTIVE Mode at 1.1V
®
eration Bluetooth 5.2 Low Energy (LE) radio. This de-
vice unites processing horsepower with the connectivity
required for IoT applications.
The MAX32690 is qualified to operate over the -40°C to
+105°C range, which is ideal for industrial environments.
This device is available in a 68-pin TQFN-EP (0.40mm
pitch) and a 140-bump WLP (0.35mm pitch).
Bluetooth 5.2 Low Energy (LE) radio supports Mesh, an-
gle of arrival (AoA), and angle of departure (AoD) for di-
rection finding, long-range (coded), and high-throughput
modes. LE Audio hardware implemented with software
codec is provided separately. A RISC-V core optionally
handles timing-critical controller tasks, freeing the pro-
grammer from Bluetooth LE interrupt latency concerns.
• 1.8V and 3.3V I/O with No Level Translators
• External Flash and SRAM Expansion Interfaces
● Bluetooth 5.2 LE Radio
• Fully Open-Source Bluetooth 5.2 Stack Available
• Supports AoA, AoD, LE Audio, and Mesh
• High-Throughput (2Mbps) Mode
A cryptographic toolbox (CTB) provides advanced security
features, including an MAA for fast Elliptic Curve Digital
Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) Engine, TRNG, SHA-256 hash, and se-
cure boot loader. Internal code and SRAM space can be
expanded off-chip through two quad-SPI execute-in-place
(SPIXF and SPIXR) interfaces up to 512MB each.
• Long-Range (125kbps and 500kbps) Modes
• Rx Sensitivity: -97dBm; Tx Power: +4.5dBm
• Single-Ended Antenna Connection (50Ω)
● Optimal Peripheral Mix Provides Platform Scalability
• 16-Channel DMA
• Five Quad-SPI Controller (60MHz)/Peripheral
(30MHz)
Many high-speed interfaces are supported on the device,
• Four UARTs with Flow Control
2
including multiple QSPI, UART, CAN 2.0B, and I C serial
2
• Two I C
2
interfaces, plus one I S port for connecting to an audio
2
• I S
codec. All interfaces support efficient DMA-driven trans-
fers between peripheral and memory. A 12-input (8 ex-
ternal), 12-bit SAR ADC samples analog data at up to
1Msps.
• Eight External Channel, 12-Bit 1Msps SAR ADC
• USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Device
• 16 Pulse Train Engines
• Four 32-Bit/Dual 16-Bit Timers with 8mA High Drive
• Two 32-Bit/Dual 16-Bit Low-Power Timers
• Two CAN 2.0B Controllers
Applications
• Four Micropower Comparators
• 1-Wire Controller
● Fitness/Health Wearables
● Portable and Wearable Wireless Medical Devices
● Asset Tracking
● Cryptographic Tool Box (CTB) for IP/Data Security
• Modular Arithmetic Accelerator (MAA), True
Random Number Generator (TRNG)
• Secure Nonvolatile Key Storage, SHA-256,
AES-128/192/256
● Industrial Sensors and Networks
● Optional Secure Communications Protocol Bootloader
