Mouser is now shipping the new MCX W series MCUs from NXP Semiconductors
The MCX W series are compact, secure, wireless MCUs designed to enable interoperable, scalable and innovative designs for the next generation of smart and secure connected devices in edge, IoT, smart home, building automation and controls, and smart energy applications.
The NXP Semiconductors MCX W series is based on the Arm Cortex-M33 core, offering a unified range of pin-compatible multiprotocol wireless MCUs for Matter, Thread, Bluetooth Low Energy and Zigbee. The MCX W series includes the industry’s first wireless MCU to support the new Bluetooth Channel Sounding standard, which improves the accuracy and security of distance measurement compared to traditional Bluetooth technology for a wide range of applications, such as secure access, asset tracking and indoor wayfinding. With NXP’s Trimension portfolio of ultra-wideband (UWB) secure radar and fine-ranging products, The MCX W series enhances a broad range of market segments and applications in ambient computing. The MCX W series supports both standalone or hosted architectures and is pin- and software-compatible, allowing developers to easily migrate to the part that best fits their use case. The MCX W series is supported by the MCUXpresso Developer Experience.
Also available is the NXP FRDM-MCXW71 development board. The FRDM-MCXW71 is a compact and scalable multiprotocol board for rapid prototyping and easy evaluation of the MCXW71 wireless MCU, with wireless support for Bluetooth LE, Zigbee, Thread, and Matter. This board includes an onboard MCU-Link debugger, industry-standard headers for easy access to the MCU’s I/Os, an accelerometer, a light sensor, and external SPI flash memory.
