Product details
Overview
ZLR323S2832GR0641T from Maxim Integrated is an 8-bit Crimzon® ROM-based microcontroller optimized for infrared remote control systems, featuring 32 KB ROM, 237 B RAM, 28-pin SOIC package, 2.0–3.6 V operation, and dual counter/timers (8-bit + 16-bit) with IR pulse generation/reception logic. It integrates on-chip comparators, low-voltage detection, and STOP mode consuming 1.4 µA - deployed in battery-powered universal remotes and consumer IR interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the ZLR323S2832GR0641T datasheet, ZLR323S2832GR0641T pinout, ZLR323S2832GR0641T application, or ZLR323S2832GR0641T equivalent, key selection criteria include IR timing accuracy (XTAL1/XTAL2-supported crystal oscillator), port-configurable pull-up transistors on P0–P3, STOP-mode current draw, comparator reference flexibility (Pref1/P33), and mask-programmable ROM variants for OEM firmware locking.
Technical Context
The ZLR323S2832GR0641T implements a Z8®-core architecture with Expanded Register File (ERF) enabling direct access to timer control registers (CTR0–CTR3 in Bank D), comparator configuration (P3M, CTR1), and low-voltage detection (LVD register at D0Ch). Its interrupt system supports six priority levels - three external (P31–P33), two timer-linked, and one LVD-triggered - with edge-detect circuitry routed to P20 or P31 for IR signal demodulation.
Power management includes three standby modes: STOP (1.4 µA), HALT (0.5 mA), and Low-Voltage mode, with POR/WDT-initiated reset and internal pull-up on RESET. The 28-pin SOIC variant maps Port 0 (P00–P07), Port 2 (P20–P27), Port 3 (P30–P37), XTAL1/XTAL2, VDD, and VSS - with P34–P37 dedicated to timer outputs (T8, T16, T8/T16, AO2) and P31/P32 as analog comparator inputs.

Pinout & Package
28-pin SOIC package with 0.3-inch body width, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant; thermal pad not present; RoHS-compliant lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| P00–P07 | Port 0 bidirectional I/O (nibble-configurable) | Software-selectable push-pull or open-drain; mask-option pull-ups support IR LED drive or button scanning without external resistors |

FAQ
What is the maximum crystal frequency supported by ZLR323S2832GR0641T?
ZLR323S2832GR0641T supports parallel-resonant crystals up to 1 MHz, with typical IR applications using 455 kHz ceramic resonators on XTAL1/XTAL2. The oscillator circuit is optimized for stability at these frequencies, and higher frequencies may degrade timing accuracy or increase power consumption beyond specification limits.
Does ZLR323S2832GR0641T support in-circuit programming after soldering?
No, ZLR323S2832GR0641T uses mask-programmed ROM - firmware is permanently embedded during wafer fabrication and cannot be reprogrammed in-system. Development requires pre-programmed samples or EPROM-based Z8 variants; field updates are not possible.
How does the STOP mode recovery work on ZLR323S2832GR0641T?
ZLR323S2832GR0641T exits STOP mode via edge detection on P20 or external interrupt on P31–P33. Upon wake-up, the device restores register state (except SMR-related bits), resumes execution from the instruction following the STOP instruction, and clears the SMR flag - enabling rapid response to IR receiver output transitions.
Can P31 and P32 be used simultaneously as comparator inputs and interrupt sources on ZLR323S2832GR0641T?
Yes, P31 and P32 serve dual roles: as analog comparator inputs (AN1/AN2) referenced to Pref1 and P33, and as configurable edge-triggered interrupt sources (IRQ2/IRQ0). Their interrupt polarity (rising/falling/both) is set via IRQ register bits 6 and 7 - allowing simultaneous analog monitoring and event-driven wake-up.
What is the function of the Pref1/P30 pin on ZLR323S2832GR0641T?
Pref1/P30 on ZLR323S2832GR0641T serves as the reference voltage input (Pref1) for Comparator 1. When not used, it must be tied to VCC per datasheet guidance. It is not a general-purpose I/O pin - its sole defined function is analog reference provisioning for precise voltage comparison in battery monitoring or sensor applications.
