Evaluates: MAXQ610
General Description
The MAXQ610 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven
platform for conveniently evaluating the capabilities of the
MAXQ610 low-power, 16-bit, RISC microcontroller targeted
for battery-powered applications. The EV kit includes the
MAXQ610 EV kit board, which contains infrared (IR) trans-
mit and receive devices, two RS-232 serial channels, four
8-pin headers providing access to the processor’s I/O port
pins, a 5V power-supply input, and a bank of eight pushbut-
ton switches for user input. The EV kit also includes soft-
ware, USB-to-JTAG/1-Wire ? Adapter, 10-pin JTAG inter-
face cable, serial cable, and a standard A-to-mini-B USB
cable for connecting to a personal computer. The EV kit
provides a complete, functional system ideal for developing
and debugging applications as well as evaluating the overall
capabilities of the MAXQ610 RISC processor.
