Products, Inc. over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that
the second paragraph, last sentence, should read "(down to 50
µW/MHz)" rather than "(down to 50 mW/MHz)" as originally issued
inadvertently. The complete, corrected release follows:
Maxim's Low-Power Microcontrollers Extend Battery Life for
Wearables and Other Compact Devices MAX32660 and MAX32652, based on
the low-power Arm Cortex-M4, are ideal for wearable sensors and
battery-powered applications
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Designers of
internet of things (IoT) sensors, environmental sensors,
smartwatches, medical/preventive health wearables, and other
size-constrained devices can now increase battery life and
functionality using the ultra-low power MAX32660 and
MAX32652 microcontrollers from Maxim Integrated Products,
Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM). These microcontrollers (MCUs) are based on the
Arm® Cortex®-M4 with FPU processor and provide designers the means
to develop advanced applications under restrictive power
constraints. Maxim's family of DARWIN MCUs combine our wearable-grade power
technology with the biggest embedded memories in their class and
some of the most advanced embedded security in the world.

MAX32660: Powerful processing in the tiniest form
factor
Memory, size, power consumption, and processing power
are critical features for engineers designing more complex
algorithms for smarter IoT applications. Existing solutions today
offer two extremes – they either have decent power consumption but
limited processing and memory capabilities, or they have higher
power consumption with more powerful processors and more memory.
The MAX32660 offers designers a sweet spot, giving them access to
enough memory to run some advanced algorithms and manage sensors
(256KB flash and 96KB SRAM). They also offer excellent power
performance (down to 50 µW/MHz), impressively small
size (1.6mm x 1.6mm in WLP package), and a cost-effective price
point. Engineers can now build more intelligent sensors and systems
that are smaller and lower in cost, while also providing a longer
battery life.
MAX32652: Low power with scalable memory
As IoT
devices become more intelligent, they start requiring more memory
and additional embedded processors which can each be very expensive
and power hungry. The MAX32652 offers an alternative for designers
who can benefit from the low power consumption of an embedded
microcontroller with the capabilities of a higher powered
applications processor. With 3MB flash and 1MB SRAM integrated
on-chip and running up to 120 MHz, the MAX32652 offers a
highly-integrated solution for IoT devices that strive to do more
processing and provide more intelligence. Integrated high-speed
peripherals such as high-speed USB 2.0, secure digital (SD) card
controller, a thin-film transistor (TFT) display, and a complete
security engine position the MAX32652 as the low-power brain for
advanced IoT devices. With the added capability to run from
external memories over HyperBus or XcellaBus, the MAX32652 can be
designed to do even more tomorrow, providing designers a
future-proof memory architecture and anticipating the increasing
demands of smart devices.
Key Advantages
- Ultra-low power: Lowest power active-mode with advanced
power management features; low power SRAM retention modes to extend
battery life
- Highly integrated: Integration with other high-speed
peripherals including SD card controllers, high-speed USB 2.0, TFT
display, and external memory
- Secure: Leverages Maxim's best-in-class security toolbox
to help create secure sensors for IoT devices
Commentary
- "These microcontrollers offer advanced features that enable
designers to grow their applications beyond what they can currently
do," said Prem Nayar, Director for
the Micros, Security and Software Business Unit at Maxim
Integrated. "Designers used to have to prioritize two out of these
three key features: lower power, better performance or better
system cost. With our new low power microcontrollers, they can
choose all three."
Availability and Pricing
- The MAX32660 and MAX32652 are both available at Maxim's website
and select authorized distributors
- MAX32660EVKIT# and MAX32652EVKIT# evaluation kits
are also both available at Maxim's website
