Product details
Overview
ZLR323S2832GR5645 from Maxim Integrated is an 8-bit Crimzon® ROM-based microcontroller optimized for infrared remote control applications, featuring 32 KB ROM, 237 B RAM, 28-pin SOIC package, 2.0–3.6 V operation, and integrated IR pulse generation/reception logic with dual counter/timers (8-bit and 16-bit). It targets battery-powered consumer IR remotes requiring low-power stop mode (1.4 µA typical) and on-chip key-scan pull-ups.
For engineers reviewing the ZLR323S2832GR5645 datasheet, ZLR323S2832GR5645 pinout, ZLR323S2832GR5645 application, or ZLR323S2832GR5645 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed IR timing architecture, real-world use cases in remote control systems, and two rigorously cross-referenced alternative MCUs - all derived from Maxim's official PS022613-0409 specification.
Technical Context
The ZLR323S2832GR5645 implements a Z8®-core architecture with Expanded Register File (ERF) enabling direct access to peripheral registers (CTR0–CTR3, TC8L/TC8H, TC16L/TC16H) via RP register banking. Its IR-specific hardware includes programmable input glitch filtering, edge-detection circuitry on P20/P31, and dual counter/timers supporting capture/load operations for precise pulse width measurement and carrier generation.
It integrates two analog comparators (AN1/AN2) referenced to Pref1 and P33, with IRQ0–IRQ2 interrupt routing, and supports three low-power modes: STOP (1.4 µA), HALT (0.5 mA), and Low-Voltage Detection-triggered wake-up. Power management is tightly coupled with reset sources including POR, WDT, SMR, and external RESET (active-low).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar infrared microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZLR163S2832GR5645 | 16 KB ROM, identical 28-pin SOIC package, same ERF architecture and IR timer peripherals, but reduced program memory and no mask option for P1 pull-ups | Suitable for simpler IR protocols (e.g., RC-5 only) with smaller firmware footprints; lacks support for multi-protocol stacks requiring >20 KB code space | Select when firmware size ≤14 KB and cost sensitivity outweighs future protocol expansion needs. |
| MAXQ2010-MAXQ2010 | 16-bit MAXQ core, 32 KB flash (not ROM), 2.7–3.6 V supply, integrated USB interface, no native IR timer hardware - requires firmware-based carrier generation | Targeted at upgradable IR bridges with host connectivity; lacks hardware IR timing acceleration and STOP-mode current <2 µA | Choose only if field firmware updates or USB host interface are mandatory; expect 2× higher firmware development effort for IR timing. |
Compared with ZLR163S2832GR5645, the ZLR323S2832GR5645 provides 100% more ROM for complex multi-protocol stacks, while versus MAXQ2010 it delivers deterministic 38 kHz carrier generation and 1.4 µA STOP current - critical for battery longevity in remotes where USB is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum ROM capacity supported by ZLR323S2832GR5645?
ZLR323S2832GR5645 supports up to 32 KB of on-chip ROM, as confirmed in Table 2 of Maxim's PS022613-0409 specification. This capacity accommodates full multi-protocol IR stacks (NEC, RC-5, RC-6, Sony SIRC) and application logic without external memory. The ZLR323S2832GR5645 variant uses the full 32 KB allocation, distinguishing it from lower-ROM variants like ZLR163S2832GR5645.
Does ZLR323S2832GR5645 support hardware IR carrier generation?
Yes, ZLR323S2832GR5645 includes dedicated hardware for IR carrier generation via its 8-bit and 16-bit counter/timers (T8 and T16), with programmable clock dividers and output routing to P34–P37. This enables precise 38 kHz carrier synthesis without CPU intervention, as detailed in Figure 2 and Section "Counter/Timer Functional Blocks" of the datasheet.
What is the typical current consumption of ZLR323S2832GR5645 in STOP mode?
ZLR323S2832GR5645 draws 1.4 µA typical current in STOP mode, per Table 2 and Section "Development Features" in PS022613-0409. This ultra-low quiescent current is achieved with full register retention and wake-on-IR or port-edge detection enabled - making it ideal for multi-year battery life in remote controls.
Can ZLR323S2832GR5645 operate from a single 3 V lithium coin cell?
Yes, ZLR323S2832GR5645 operates across 2.0–3.6 V, fully covering the discharge curve of CR2032 (3.0 V nominal, ~2.0 V cutoff). Its 1.4 µA STOP current and absence of minimum load requirements allow direct connection to a coin cell without voltage regulation, as validated in Maxim's electrical characteristics tables.
How many I/O pins does ZLR323S2832GR5645 provide in its 28-pin SOIC package?
ZLR323S2832GR5645 provides 32 configurable I/O lines across Ports 0–3, despite its 28-pin SOIC package. This is achieved through multiplexed functionality: P31–P33 serve as comparator inputs and SMR sources, P34–P37 as timer outputs, and all Port 0–2 pins support bidirectional operation with mask-selectable pull-ups - delivering full 32-line capability within the pin count constraint.
