New Embedded Development Tool from Rowley Associates, CrossWorks, Simplifies Evaluation of the MAXQ(TM) 16-bit RISC Microcontrollers from Dallas Semiconductor.DALLAS -- Dallas Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :MXIM), announces the availability of the Rowley Associates' CrossWorks embedded development tools for the Company's MAXQ 16-bit RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. family of microcontrollers. CrossWorks is a complete software development solution for initial design through final production. The CrossWorks C compiler is optimized for use with the MAXQ microcontroller's single-cycle architecture, which achieves the industry's best 3.7 normalized MIPS/mA with 20 MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) The execution speed of a computer. For example, .5 MIPS is 500,000 instructions per second; 100 MIPS is a hundred million instructions per second. performance. The recently introduced MAXQ2000 low-power microcontroller includes 64Bytes flash memory, 2kBytes SRAM See static RAM. SRAM - static random-access memory , a 16-bit single-cycle hardware multiplier with 48-bit accumulate, a watchdog timer, two serial ports, an SPI (1) (Stateful Packet Inspection) See stateful inspection. (2) (Service Provider Interface) The programming interface for developing Windows drivers under WOSA. (TM) master/slave port, three timers, external interrupts, and a 128-segment LCD controller. The Rowley CrossWorks software includes an ANSI- and ISO-compliant C compiler, macro assembler, linker/locator, libraries, core simulator, flash downloader, JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) An IEEE standard for boundary scan technology. See scan technology. JTAG - Joint Test Action Group debugger, and an integrated development environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment named CrossStudio. The Rowley development environment integrates seamlessly now with the MAXQ2000 evaluation (EV) kit (MAXQ2000-KIT), and will work with the imminent MAXQ3120 microcontroller EV kit and any future microcontroller EV kits. Used in conjunction with CrossWorks, the MAXQ2000 EV kit creates the ideal platform to evaluate the capabilities of the MAXQ2000. Included in the MAXQ2000 kit is a complete set of software, hardware, sample code, and documentation to start designing with the MAXQ2000. The evaluation kit operates from a fixed or adjustable power supply, a DB-9 serial connector, an LCD display, interrupt switches, eight LEDs, and a JTAG programming interface for debug and application loading.
