Product details
Overview
ZLF645E0H2064G from Maxim Integrated is a Crimzon® infrared-optimized Flash MCU featuring an integrated IR learning amplifier, 64 KB flash memory, 1 KB RAM, and dual programmable timers (8-bit and 16-bit) for IR signal generation and demodulation. It operates from 2.0 V to 3.6 V and targets infrared remote control systems requiring robust signal acquisition under varying battery voltages.
For engineers reviewing the ZLF645E0H2064G datasheet, ZLF645E0H2064G pinout, ZLF645E0H2064G application, or ZLF645E0H2064G equivalent, key selection criteria include its on-die IR amplification circuitry, STOP mode recovery on any SMR input change, UART with BRG-as-timer flexibility, and 20-pin QFN package compatibility with photodiode-based IR receiver front-ends.
Technical Context
The ZLF645E0H2064G implements the Z8® LXMC CPU core and integrates dedicated hardware for infrared learning: a tuned analog amplifier stage with no external components beyond a photodiode, plus T8/T16 timers configured for precise carrier-frequency demodulation and pulse-width measurement. Its SMR (Stop Mode Recovery) logic supports 12 configurable inputs (P20–P27, P30–P33, P00, P07) for wake-up on any logic transition.
It features three low-power modes-STOP (1.7 µA typ), HALT (0.6 mA typ), and voltage brownout standby-with fast STOP recovery via dedicated registers (SMR1–SMR4). The UART supports 4800–38400 baud with parity and 1/2 stop bits, and its baud rate generator can be repurposed as a third 8-bit timer when UART is idle.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Flash Memory | 64 KB - sufficient for full IR protocol stacks including NEC, RC-5, RC-6, and custom learning firmware with buffer space. |
| RAM | 1 KB - supports real-time IR waveform capture, decoding state machines, and UART buffering without external memory. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.0 V–3.6 V - enables direct operation from single-cell Li-ion or two-cell alkaline batteries across full discharge range. |
| IR Learning Amplifier | Integrated, tuned analog front-end - eliminates external op-amp and gain-setting resistors; requires only photodiode. |
| STOP Current | 1.7 µA (typ) - allows multi-year battery life in remote controls with motion- or IR-triggered wake-up. |
| Timers | One 8-bit + one 16-bit counter/timer - hardware-accelerated IR carrier detection, pulse timing, and modulation synthesis. |
| UART Baud Rates | 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 - supports host MCU communication for configuration, diagnostics, and firmware updates. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-pin QFN (4 mm × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, moisture-sensitive level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| P00 / P30 | Port 0 bit 0 / Port 3 bit 0 | Shared input pin; P30 is dedicated SMR-capable input for wake-up; P00 is general I/O with pull-up option. |

| P31–P33 | Port 3 bits 1–3 | Dedicated SMR inputs with glitch filtering; optimized for reliable IR signal edge detection during wake-up. |
| XTAL1 / XTAL2 | Cry stal oscillator interface | Supports 1–12 MHz crystals; provides stable clock for IR carrier frequency accuracy and UART timing. |
| VDD / GND | Power supply pins | Single 2.0–3.6 V supply; low-noise layout critical for analog IR amplifier performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated IR learning amplifier | Eliminates external op-amp and bias network; enables photodiode-only front-end with consistent gain across battery voltage range. |
| SMR wake-up on any logic change | 12 configurable inputs (P20–P27, P30–P33, P00, P07) allow ultra-low-power wake-up without polling or external interrupt controllers. |
| UART with BRG-as-timer mode | When UART is inactive, baud rate generator becomes a functional 8-bit timer-reducing need for additional timing peripherals. |
| Flash option bit configuration | User-selectable settings (e.g., port pull-ups, WDT enable, memory protection) stored in nonvolatile Flash-no external EEPROM required. |
| STOP mode recovery in <1 µs | Hardware-accelerated wake-up path bypasses full reset sequence-critical for responsive IR learning and command execution. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the IR learning amplifier in ZLF645E0H2064G?
The IR learning amplifier in ZLF645E0H2064G is an integrated, factory-tuned analog front-end that conditions photodiode signals for reliable IR carrier detection and pulse-width measurement across 2.0–3.6 V supply range. It eliminates external op-amps and bias networks, reducing BOM count and improving consistency in ZLF645E0H2064G-based remotes.
Does ZLF645E0H2064G support in-circuit programming, and how is it implemented?
Yes, ZLF645E0H2064G supports in-circuit programming (ICP) via a serial interface multiplexed with a GPIO pin. The ICP interface enables flash programming, erasure, and read operations without removing the device from the PCB. It uses auto-baud detection and supports standard commands for mass erase, page erase, and byte programming-fully documented in the ZLF645E0H2064G datasheet sections 53–66.
What power modes does ZLF645E0H2064G offer, and what is the typical current draw in STOP mode?
ZLF645E0H2064G offers three low-power modes: STOP (1.7 µA typ), HALT (0.6 mA typ), and voltage brownout standby. In STOP mode, the CPU, flash, and most peripherals are halted while SMR inputs remain active for wake-up. This enables multi-year battery life in remote controls, and ZLF645E0H2064G resumes execution in under 1 µs upon valid SMR event.
How many I/O pins on ZLF645E0H2064G support Stop Mode Recovery (SMR) wake-up?
ZLF645E0H2064G supports SMR wake-up on 12 dedicated inputs: P20–P27 (8 pins), P30–P33 (4 pins), plus P00 and P07. Each can be individually enabled for rising/falling/both-edge detection. This capability is central to ZLF645E0H2064G's role in ultra-low-power IR remotes where wake-up latency and reliability are critical.
Is ZLF645E0H2064G pin-compatible with other members of the ZLF645 series?
ZLF645E0H2064G uses the 20-pin QFN package defined in the ZLF645 series specification and shares identical pin functions and electrical characteristics with other 20-pin variants (e.g., ZLF645E0H2032G). Pin compatibility is confirmed in Tables 3 and 4 of the ZLF645E0H2064G datasheet, supporting drop-in replacement within the same package family.
