Here's Why I think You Should Consider Applying for the MAX32650 EV Kit RoadTest

rscasny

I know I have been getting a lot of fantastic products lately to roadtest. It's kind of pre-Holiday wishlist!

 

But there's one roadtest, I'd like you to take another loook at: Maxim MAX32650-EVKIT

 

The Ev kit is from Maximum Integrated. this kit is for the MAX32650.image

 

The MAX32650 ultra-low power memory scalable microcontroller designed specifically for high performance battery powered applications. It is often used with industrial sensors, IoT, sports watches, fitness monitors, wearable medical patches and portable medical devices.

 

Here's some more information on the MAX32650.

 

The MAX32650 is part of Maxim Integrated's DARMAN Series of low-power microcontrollers. They are smart, with the biggest memories in their class and a massively scalable memory architecture. They run forever, thanks to wearable-grade power technology. They are also tough enough to withstand the most advanced cyberattacks.

 

These ultra low-power microcontrollers are designed to handle the complex applications demanded by today’s advanced battery-powered devices and wireless sensors.They are based on ArmRegistered CortexRegistered-M4 with FPU CPU with 3MB flash and 1MB SRAM. Memory scalability is supported with multiple memory-expansion interfaces, including a HyperBusTm/XccelaTm DDR interface and two SPI execute in place (SPIX) interfaces. A secure digital interface supports external high-speed memory cards, including SD, SDIO, MMC, SDHC, and microSDTm

 

Here's some tech specs:

  • 120MHz Arm Cortex-M4 with FPU
  • SmartDMA Provides Background Memory Transfers with Programmable Data Processing
  • 120MHz High-Speed and 40MHz Low-Power Oscillators
  • 7.3728MHz Low Power Oscillators
  • 32.768kHz and RTC Clock (Requires External Crystal)
  • 8kHz Always-on Ultra-Low Power Oscillator
  • 3MB Internal Flash, 1MB Internal SRAM
  • 104µW/MHz Executing from Cache at 1.1V
  • Five Low Power Modes: Active, Sleep, Background, Deep-Sleep, and Backup
  • 1.8V and 3.3V I/O with No Level Translators

 

Here's some documentation: https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/MAX32650-EVKIT.pdf

  • I think it's the DARWIN family image

     

    It's an interesting, if slightly odd, beast - the processor is capable of very low power operation but can work with masses of external (and much higher power) memory.

    It has Hi Speed USB and PHY on chip (which is nice) but the core is pretty slow (120MHz max).

    The on chip ADC is weird, slow (7.8ksps), low res (10 bit) and sigma delta - very unusual.

    And it has an on chip colour TFT LCD controller.

     

    It's a nice Eval board too - just enough stuff on it and jumpers to isolate things where needed.

     

    But I can't think what I might do with it that would really make much use of the special features ......
