NXP MCX W Series of Wireless Microcontrollers (MCUs)

Bluetooth LE, Zigbee, and Matter over Thread multiprotocol MCUs

The MCX W series, based on the Arm® Cortex®-M33, offers a unified range of pin-compatible multiprotocol wireless MCUs for

MCX W enables interoperable and innovative smart home devices, building automation sensors and controls and smart energy products. The MCX W series is supported by the MCUXpresso Developer Experience.

Industry’s first wireless MCU to support the new Bluetooth® Channel Sounding standard

The MCX W series includes the MCX W72x, 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. This is supported by NXP’s Localization Compute Engine (LCE) to reduce latency. Along with NXP’s Trimension® portfolio of ultra-wideband (UWB) secure radar and fine ranging products, the MCX W evolves ambient computing into a broad range applications.

MCX W7x: Optimized for IoT, Industrial and Matter

NXP — MCX W7x: Optimized for IoT, Industrial and Matter

The MCX W series is supported by the MCUXpresso Developer Experience.

The MCUXpresso Developer Experience to optimize, ease and help accelerate embedded system development. The MCUXpresso suite includes tools for simple device configuration and secure programming. Developers can choose to work with multiple IDEs including MCUXpresso for VS Code, MCUXpresso IDE, or IAR. NXP provides wireless stacks, drivers and middleware with extensive examples via the MCUXpresso SDK and opensource Github repos, further complemented by a wide range of compatible middleware from NXP’s partner ecosystem, allowing rapid development of a broad range of end applications.

Flexible Hardware Development Platforms
The FRDM-MCXW71 is a compact and scalable development board for rapid prototyping of the MCX W71 wireless MCU. It offers easy evaluation of the MCX W71's multiprotocol wireless support for Bluetooth LE, Zigbee, Thread and Matter. The board includes an on-board 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. Multiple add-on boards are available through NXP's Expansion Board Hub while the Application Code Hub provides ready to use software examples as part of the MCUXpresso Developer Experience.
