MAXQ1740 Maxim, MAXQ1740 Datasheet - Page 3

• Manufacturer Part Number: MAXQ1740
• Description: The MAXQ1740 is a low-power microcontroller that integrates a triple-track magnetic stripe reader interface, an I²C interface, two SPI™ interfaces, and one universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver-transmitter (USART) interface
• Manufacturer: Maxim

The low-power, high-performance RISC architecture of
this device makes it an excellent fit for many portable or
battery-powered applications requiring security.
Careful PCB layout significantly minimizes system-level
digital noise that could interact with the microcontroller or
peripheral components. The use of multilayer boards is
essential to allow the use of dedicated power planes. The
area under any digital components should be a continu-
ous ground plane if possible. Keep any bypass capacitor
leads short for best noise rejection and place the capaci-
tors as close as possible to the leads of the device.
CMOS design guidelines for any semiconductor require
that no pin be taken above V
of this guideline can result in a hard failure (damage to
the silicon inside the device) or a soft failure (unintentional
modification of memory contents). Voltage spikes above
or below the device’s absolute maximum ratings can
potentially cause a catastrophic latchup of the device.
Microcontrollers commonly experience negative volt-
age spikes through either their power pins or general-
purpose I/O pins. Negative voltage spikes on power pins
are especially problematic as they directly couple to the
internal power buses. Devices such as keypads can con-
duct electrostatic discharges directly into the microcon-
troller and seriously damage the device. System design-
ers must protect components against these transients
that can corrupt system memory.
