Overview

The MAX32625PICO# is a compact development platform based on the MAX32625 ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller. It features an integrated DAPLink adapter that provides a driverless USB interface for drag-and-drop programming and a virtual serial port over CMSIS-DAP. The board's small DIP-style form factor makes it ideal for breadboard prototyping and quick development of ultra-low-power embedded applications.

Why Choose This Part

The board offers a high memory-to-size ratio with 512KB Flash and 160KB RAM in a tiny 15.24mm by 25.40mm footprint. It simplifies the development workflow by integrating a hardware debugger directly on the PCB, eliminating the need for external JTAG/SWD probes. Additionally, the 5V-tolerant I/O pins provide flexibility when interfacing with legacy digital logic or industrial sensors.

Applications

Rapid Prototyping
Quickly evaluate ARM Cortex-M4 features on a breadboard using the 20-pin DIP form factor and onboard DAPLink programmer.
Ultra-Low Power Development
Develop and test power-sensitive firmware using the MAX32625's dedicated low-power modes (sleep, standby, and shutdown).
USB Peripheral Design
Utilize the built-in Full-Speed USB 2.0 interface for creating custom HID, CDC, or MSC devices.
Sensor Hub Prototyping
Leverage multiple I2C, SPI, and UART interfaces along with 10-bit ADC channels to interface with various industrial or medical sensors.
