MAXQ1010-A01+

Application Specific Microcontrollers Overview

The MAXQ1010-A01+ is a DeepCover Secure Microcontroller featuring a 16-bit RISC core operating up to 12MHz. It integrates 128KB Flash memory with 20,000 erase cycles per sector and 2KB SRAM, including 128B of secure key storage that self-destructs upon tamper detection. The device supports USB 2.0 SIE, ISO 7816 UART, SPI, I2C, USART, and 1-Wire interfaces. Hardware security includes DES/AES accelerators, a true hardware RNG, and an RTC. Operating voltage ranges from 1.7V to 3.6V, with ultra-low-power stop mode consuming less than 1µA.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A01+' against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to confirm package type, temperature range, and tape/reel specifications. Confirm current availability status as product lifecycles may change. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives indicated by the '+' suffix.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component when both high-level cryptographic performance and strict power constraints are required. The integrated USB transceiver eliminates external components compared to standard MCUs. Verify that the 12MHz external crystal requirement aligns with system clock design needs for USB functionality.
