Overview

This technical document serves as a supplement to the MAXQ Family User’s Guide, providing detailed specifications and register maps specific to the MAXQ2000 16-bit RISC microcontroller. It covers the device's Harvard memory architecture, featuring 64KB of program flash and 2KB of data RAM, alongside its flexible clock generation and power management modes. Significant portions of the guide are dedicated to the integrated 132-segment LCD controller/driver, explaining various drive modes (static, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 duty cycles) and waveform generation. Additional sections detail the operation of specialized hardware modules including the 1-Wire bus master, a 16x16 hardware multiplier, real-time clock (RTC), SPI, and dual UART interfaces. The document also provides information on the utility ROM for in-application programming and JTAG-based in-circuit debugging.
