Microcontroller for the emerging category of medical and fitness applications

Maxim Integrated MAX3262x ARM Cortex-M4F microcontroller, stocked by Mouser, is a 32-bit RISC (M4 plus Floating Point Unit) device. It is ideally suited for the emerging category of medical and fitness applications. The architecture combines high-efficiency, signal-processing functionality with low cost, and ease of use. The device features four powerful and flexible power modes. Built-in dynamic clock gating and firmware controlled power gating minimise power consumption for any application. Multiple SPI, UART, and I2C serial interfaces, and a 1-Wire master and USB, allow for interconnection to a wide variety of external sensors. A four-input, 10-bit ADC with selectable references is provided. It is a secure version of the MAX32620, incorporating a trust protection unit (TPU) with encryption and advanced security features. Typical applications include sport watches, fitness monitors, wearable medical patches, portable medical devices and sensor hubs.
