Microcontroller with Analog Comparator
and LED Driver
General Description
Features
♦ High-Performance, Low-Power, 16-Bit RISC Core
DC to 3.58MHz Operation, Approaching 1MIPS
per MHz
The MAXQ3212 microcontroller is a low-power, 16-bit
RISC device that incorporates an analog comparator
and a high-current I/O pin for directly driving an LED.
The device is uniquely suited for cost-conscious appli-
cations such as battery-powered devices, system moni-
tors, and white goods, but can be used in any
application that requires high performance and low-
power operation. The high-performance 16-bit
+5V 1ꢀ0 Operation
Up to 15 General-Purpose I/O Pins
33 Instructions, Most Single-Cycle
Two Independent Data Pointers Accelerate Data
Movement with Automatic Increment/Decrement
Two Loop Counters
®
RISC MAXQ core and 8-bit accumulators are comple-
mented by standard amenities such as timers and digi-
tal I/O. The power consumption per MIPS ratio is
among the best in the 16-bit microcontroller industry.
