MAXQ microcontrollers are built from the ground up to be natural companions to analog circuits. Designed for reduced noise operation, the MAXQ integrates high-precision analog functions alongside digital components, resulting in reduced chip-count solutions. The one-cycle MAXQ RISC architecture achieves an unmatched performance-to-power characteristic among 16-bit microcontrollers by combining superior clock utilization with intelligent clock distribution. This powerful combination makes products easier to design and build, shortens time-to-market, and delivers outstanding performance.
Low-Power Operation
Intelligent top-level clock distribution
Clock routed only to modules where needed
Reduces active-mode power consumption
Improves integration of application-specific analog circuits
Higher MIPS/MHz operation reduces application clock frequency
