NXP Semiconductors RW612 Wireless Microcontroller for Matter, Industrial Automation and Intelligence Applications Available from Mouser Electronics

Mouser Electronics is now offering NXP Semiconductors' RW612 wireless microcontroller, a highly integrated and secure wireless MCU for smart home, gaming, industrial automation and smart accessory applications.

The NXP RW612 wireless microcontroller is a Matter-compatible device that enables broader compatibility and connectivity with IoT devices and protocols that share the same access point.Matter is a universal software layer and a new connectivity standard for connecting IoT devices via Wi-Fi or Matter over Thread, providing a common and interoperable application layer between ecosystems and products. The RW612 MCU combines Wi-Fi 6 and low-power Bluetooth 5.4 radios to support long-range, high-speed transmissions with 2Mb/s data rates and extended broadcast capabilities, as well as support for 802.15.4, enabling tri-band integration with the Thread mesh networking protocol and Zigbee protocol. Mouser also currently supplies the RW610, which does not support 802.15.4.

The RW612 MCU features a 260MHz Arm Cortex-M33 core with Trustzone™-M technology and is equipped with 1.2MB of on-chip SRAM and a quad-channel SPI interface with a high-security on-the-fly decryption engine that supports secure access to external flash memory. This space-saving, cost-effective wireless MCU requires only a single 3.3V power supply. The integrated EdgeLock security zone (with Core Profile) provides secure boot, debug, firmware update and lifecycle management, as well as hardware encryption and physical anti-replication function (PUF) for secure key management.The RW612 is PSA Level 3 certified and SESIP Level 3 Assurance certified.

In addition, Mouser offers the FRDM-RW612 development board based on the FRDM platform, which can be used to accelerate prototyping and development of the RW612 microcontroller family. the FRDM-RW612 provides easy access to the MCU I/O, peripherals, integrated serial interfaces and external flash memory, and comes with an on-board MCU-Link debugger. Additional resources, such as the NXP Expansion Board Hub, which provides software samples, and the Application Code Centre, can be accessed through the MCUXpresso Developer Experience.
