Helping design and engineering professionals discover, evaluate and specify technologies and processes that shorten the design cycle and enable success.
Cut Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Hallucinations by 50%
Most teams hit the same wall with enterprise AI: LLMs that hallucinate, pipelines that don’t scale, and infrastructure that’s harder to design than the models themselves.
What Is Intelligent BOM Management? A Guide to Smarter Product Development
Learn how intelligent Bill of Materials (BOM) management helps teams collaborate, reduce errors, and bring innovative products to market faster with cloud-based PLM tools.
Maxim Integrated Products (Sunnyvale, CA) introduces the MAXQ2010, a 16-bit mixed-signal microcontroller with a unique power-saving stop mode. It offers development tools that help the designer rapidly accelerate the design process.
The MAXQ2010 microcontroller is suited for equipment that spends the majority of its life inactive, only waking up once every few minutes to take measurements. Examples include sensors, data acquisition systems, or environmental dataloggers.
A key feature of the device is its industry-leading stop mode, which allows the microcontroller to reduce power consumption to less than 370nA — this extends the life of battery-powered devices.
The MAXQ2010's stop mode reduces power consumption to 370nA typical and 6.5microamps maximum at +85 degrees Celsius, thus extending the life of battery-powered devices. Designed on a RISC architecture, the MAXQ2010 balances high-speed execution (up to 10 MIPS at 10MHz) and data sampling (up to 312ksps ADC conversion at 12 bits) with a low-power active-mode current.
The MAXQ2010 offers multiple power-saving operating modes, and provides features for portable, battery-powered applications.
The MAXQ2010 is packaged in a 100-pin LQFP and operates over the -40 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius temperature range. Prices start at $2.95 (10,000-up).
