Mouser Electronics, a global authorized distributor of the latest electronic components and industrial automation products, announced on the 24th that it is supplying Analog Devices (ADI)'s MAX32690 microcontroller (MCU).

The MAX32690 is an advanced System-on-Chip (SoC) product featuring the processing performance required for various consumer and industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications, as well as easy connectivity and Bluetooth® capabilities. It is an ultra-high-efficiency MCU ideal for battery-powered applications.

ADI’s MAX32690 MCU, available for purchase at Mouser Electronics, features a 120 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M4F CPU with a Floating-Point Unit (FPU) for arithmetic calculations and instructions, and an ultra-low power 32-bit RISC-V (RV32) coprocessor capable of handling data processing.

This SoC is equipped with several low-power oscillators that support external crystals (32MHz required for Bluetooth LE), and provides 3MB of built-in flash and 1MB of built-in SRAM, as well as external flash and SRAM expansion interfaces.

Powerful on-chip communication interfaces include QSPI, UIt supports various serial high-speed interfaces such as ART, CAN 2.0B, and I2C, and one I2S port for audio codec connection.

All interfaces support efficient DMA-based transfer between peripherals and memory, and 12 inputs (8 external), a 12-bit SAR ADC samples analog data at a maximum speed of 1 Msps.

The Bluetooth LE (Bluetooth Low Energy) 5.2 wireless of the MAX32690 supports multiple modes including Mesh, long range (coding), and fast transmission speeds, and programmers can utilize the device's RISC-V core to handle timing-critical controller tasks, thereby resolving BLE interrupt latency issues.

LE Audio hardware implemented with a software codec is provided separately.

The MAX32690 provides a Modular Arithmetic Accelerator (MAA) for the fast Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) for IP data/security problems, and a Cryptographic Toolbox (CTB) equipped with an Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) engine, TRNG, SHA-256 hash, and secure bootloader.

It also includes two quad SPI XiP (eXecute-in-Place) interfaces (SPIXF and SPIXR, each up to 512MB) that can extend internal code and SRAM areas outside the chip.

The MAX32690 MCU is available in a 68-pin TQFN-EP (0.40mm pitch) package and a 140-bump WLP (0.35mm pitch) package.

This device is suitable for industrial environments, ranging from -40°C to +1It operates in a temperature range of 0.5°C and is suitable for applications such as wired and wireless industrial communication, wearable and hearable devices, fitness and healthcare devices, wearable wireless medical devices, IoT and IIoT, and asset tracking.

The MAX32690 also supports an evaluation kit (MAX32690EVKIT#), which can also be purchased on the Mouser website.
