New 32-bit RISC MCU targets emerging medical and fitness applications

Mouser now stocks the Maxim Integrated MAX3262x ARM Cortex-M4F microcontroller. The 32-bit RISC (M4 plus Floating Point Unit) microcontroller. It is ideally suited to 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 4 powerful and flexible power modes. Built-in dynamic clock gating and firmware controlled power gating minimize 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. A more secure version of the MAX32620, the MAX32621 incorporates a trust protection unit (TPU) with encryption and advanced security features.
