Mixed-Signal Microcontroller with Analog
Comparators, LCD, and RTC
Embedded debugging capability is available through
the debug port TAP. Embedded debug hardware and
embedded ROM firmware provide in-circuit debugging
capability to the user application, eliminating the need
for an expensive in-circuit emulator. Figure 4 shows a
block diagram of the in-circuit debugger. The in-circuit
debug features include:
• Hardware debug engine
• Set of registers able to set breakpoints on register,
• Set of debug service routines stored in the utility
The embedded hardware debug engine is an indepen-
dent hardware block in the microcontroller. The debug
engine can monitor internal activities and interact with
selected internal registers while the CPU is executing
user code. Collectively, the hardware and software fea-
tures allow two basic modes of in-circuit debugging:
• Background mode allows the host to configure and set
• Debug mode allows the debug engine to take control
The MAXQ3100 incorporates two 8051-style universal
synchronous/asynchronous receiver/transmitters. The
USARTs allow the device to conveniently communicate
with other RS-232 interface-enabled devices, as well as
PCs and serial modems when paired with an external
RS-232 line driver/receiver. The dual independent
USARTs can communicate simultaneously at different
baud rates with two separate peripherals. The USART
can detect framing errors and indicate the condition
through a user-accessible software bit.

The time base of the serial ports is derived from either a
division of the system clock or the dedicated baud
clock generator. The following table summarizes the
operating characteristics as well as the maximum baud
rate of each mode.
Serial port 0 contains additional functionality to support
low-speed infrared transmission in combination with the
PWM function of timer 2. When enabled in this mode,
the serial port automatically outputs a waveform gener-
ated by combining the normal serial port output wave-
form with the PWM carrier waveform output by timer 2,
using a logical OR or logical NOR function. The output
of serial port 0 in this mode can be used to drive an
infrared LED to communicate using a fixed-frequency
carrier modulated signal. Depending on the drive
strength required, the output may require a buffer when
used for this purpose.
