The MCX W72x family features a 96 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M33 core coupled with a
multiprotocol radio subsystem supporting Matter, Thread, Zigbee and Bluetooth
LE. The independent radio subsystem, with a dedicated core and memory,
offloads the main CPU, preserving it for the primary application and allowing
firmware updates to support future wireless standards. The MCX W72x also offers
advanced security with an integrated EdgeLock® Secure Enclave Core Profile and
will be supported by NXP's EdgeLock 2GO cloud services for credential sharing.
The MCX W72x family includes Bluetooth Channel Sounding capabilities, with a
dedicated on-chip Localization Compute Engine to reduce ranging latency. It
incorporates additional memory to support application-specific code,
connectivity stacks and over-the-air firmware updates. In addition, the radio
subsystem can run the full Thread or Zigbee stack alongside the Bluetooth Low
Energy stack. This delivers reliable wireless performance, as the real-time
activities of the radio run on a separate core from the application.
Building on NXP's strong history of providing industrial edge solutions, the
MCX W series offers a wide operating temperature range from -40 °C to 125 °C and
peripherals for industrial applications, including an optional CAN interface
and will be part of NXP's 15-year Product Longevity program to support long-term industrial use.
The MCX W series is supported by the
MCUXpresso Developer Experience
to optimize, ease and help accelerate embedded system development.
The MCX W72x is in pre-production, developers can get started today with the
MCX W71x,
which is pin and software compatible.
