General Description
The MAXQ3108 is a low-power microcontroller that features
two high-performance MAXQ20 cores: a dedicated
core (DSPCore) for intensive data processing and a
user core (UserCore) for supervisory functions. The two
cores can operate at different clock speeds, allowing
lower system power consumption for even processing
intensive applications. The UserCore can be configured
to run at the lowest clock rate possible for monitoring
the peripherals for communication activities, while the
DSPCore runs at the highest speed. Each core has
access to an independent math accelerator (a multiply/
accumulate unit). The UserCore supports SPI™,
I2C, two UART channels with one channel supporting
IR carrier modulation, a trimmable real-time clock
(RTC), battery-backed RTC registers, and data memory.
The DSPCore is fully user programmable and configurable.
With the standard 32,768Hz crystal, the
DSPCore operates at 10.027MHz, while the UserCore
runs at 5.014MHz.
