Product details
Overview
The MAX32600-P85B+ from Maxim Integrated is a wellness-focused ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller operating at up to 24MHz, featuring 256KB flash, 32KB SRAM, a 16-bit ADC with PGA (gain 1–8), two 12-bit DACs, four op-amps, and integrated Trust Protection Unit for AES/ECDSA security. It targets wearable medical devices requiring precision analog measurement and ultra-low-power operation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX32600-P85B+ datasheet, MAX32600-P85B+ pinout, MAX32600-P85B+ application, or MAX32600-P85B+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, power-mode current values (LP0: 1.25µA, LP1: 1.8µA), ADC dynamic specs (SNR up to 89.9dB), and real-world wellness use cases including pulse oximetry and galvanic skin response.
Technical Context
The MAX32600-P85B+ integrates a dedicated analog front-end (AFE) with programmable gain amplifier, differential 8:1 input mux, internal voltage reference (1.024V–2.5V), and fast 500ksps 16-bit ADC - all optimized for low-noise biopotential signal acquisition. Its Trust Protection Unit includes hardware AES engine, µMAA for ECDSA/RSA, TRNG, and fast-erase SRAM for secure key storage.
Power architecture supports five low-power modes: LP0 (1.25µA with RTC enabled), LP1 (1.8µA with data retention + 15µs wakeup), LP2 (1.25mA), LP3 (5–6.1mA), and active mode (175µA/MHz from cache). Peripheral clock gating and 6-channel DMA enable intelligent background operation during sleep.

FAQ
What is the maximum ADC sampling rate supported by the MAX32600-P85B+?
The MAX32600-P85B+ supports up to 500ksps in PGA-bypass mode. With PGA enabled, throughput drops slightly (e.g., 421ksps at gain=8) due to increased acquisition time. Decimation filters further reduce effective rate but improve SNR - e.g., Nd=64 yields ~7.8ksps with 89.9dB SNR. All rates are achievable within the 24MHz system clock domain.
Does the MAX32600-P85B+ include hardware cryptographic acceleration?
Yes, the MAX32600-P85B+ includes a dedicated Trust Protection Unit with AES-128/256 hardware engine, µMAA for ECDSA and RSA signature generation/verification, True Random Number Generator (TRNG), and fast-erase SRAM for secure key storage - meeting NIST SP 800-90A/B/C requirements for embedded medical devices.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX32600-P85B+ use?
The MAX32600-P85B+ uses a 192-ball Chip-Scale Thin Ball Grid Array (CTBGA) package measuring 12mm × 12mm with 0.65mm ball pitch and an exposed thermal pad. This matches the "P85" suffix designation in the part number and is distinct from the 120-ball (7mm × 7mm) and 108-ball WLP variants.
Can the MAX32600-P85B+ operate from a single 3.0V lithium coin cell?
Yes - the MAX32600-P85B+ operates across VDD = 1.8V to 3.6V and achieves 1.25µA in LP0 mode (RTC active) and 1.8µA in LP1 mode (data retention + 15µs wakeup). With proper power sequencing and external LDO bypass, it sustains >7-day runtime on a CR2032 in continuous PPG monitoring mode.
How many GPIO pins are available on the MAX32600-P85B+?
The MAX32600-P85B+ provides 64 general-purpose I/O pins, mapped across ports P0–P7. These support multiple functions including UART, SPI, I²C, USB D+/D−, 32kHz crystal interface, and dedicated analog inputs (AIN0±–AIN7±). All GPIOs feature programmable pull-up/pull-down, Schmitt-trigger inputs, and 25mA sink/source capability.
