The low-power, high-performance RISC architecture of
this device makes it an excellent fit for many portable or
battery-powered applications. It is ideally suited for
applications such as universal remote controls that
require the cost-effective integration of IR
transmit/receive capability.
Careful PCB layout significantly minimizes system-level
digital noise that could interact with the microcontroller
or peripheral components. The use of multilayer boards
is essential to allow the use of dedicated power planes.
The area under any digital components should be a
continuous ground plane if possible. Keep any bypass
capacitor leads short for best noise rejection and place
the capacitors as close to the leads of the devices as
possible.
CMOS design guidelines for any semiconductor require
that no pin be taken above V
Violation of this guideline can result in a hard failure
(damage to the silicon inside the device) or a soft fail-
ure (unintentional modification of memory contents).
Voltage spikes above or below the device’s absolute
maximum ratings can potentially cause a devastating
IC latchup.
Microcontrollers commonly experience negative volt-
age spikes through either their power pins or general-
purpose I/O pins. Negative voltage spikes on power
pins are especially problematic as they directly couple
to the internal power buses. Devices such as keypads
can conduct electrostatic discharges directly into the
microcontroller and seriously damage the device.

System designers must protect components against
these transients that can corrupt system memory.
The ROM-only versions of the MAXQ610 family devices
operate in the same manner as their flash counterparts
with the following exceptions:
• The ROM loader is not available in the ROM version.
• Loading memory and in-application programming
• The debugger is not available in the ROM version.
Designers must have the following documents to fully
use all the features of this device. This data sheet con-
tains pin descriptions, feature overviews, and electrical
specifications. Errata sheets contain deviations from
published specifications. The user’s guides offer
