MAXQ Performance
Low Power. High Performance.
The MAXQ microcontroller's 16-bit, single-cycle core makes it a better performer than the MSP430, AVR, and PIC microcontrollers. A grand claim on our part? Sure, but here's the proof.
Texas Instruments (TI) Benchmarks
Companies often produce benchmarks of their microcontrollers. The problem is that sometimes those benchmark measurements are written to accentuate specific microcontroller strengths and to ignore other product weaknesses.
To ensure a fair, credible assessment of the MAXQ microcontroller, we took TI's benchmarks written to showcase the MSP430 and ran them on a MAXQ2000. The results show that the MAXQ microcontroller is faster than the MSP430 and usually produces smaller code.
Here Is the Proof
- 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
