MAXQ617
Infrared Remote Control System-on-Chip
General Description
The MAXQ617 is a low-power, 16-bit MAXQ® microcontroller designed for low-power applications including universal remote controls, consumer electronics, and white goods. The device combines a powerful 16-bit RISC microcontroller and integrated peripherals including a universal synchronous/asynchronous receivertransmitter (USART), an SPI master/slave and two I2C communications ports, along with an IR module with carrier frequency generation and flexible port I/O capable of multiplexed keypad control. An internal amplifier eliminates the need for external circuitry to drive the IR receiver pin.
The device includes 80KB of flash memory and 4KB of data SRAM.
