The MCX-W Series from NXP Semiconductors, available from Mouser, is based on the Arm® Cortex®-M33 core, offering a unified range of pin-compatible, multi-protocol 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 Polling standard, which improves distance measurement accuracy and security compared to traditional Bluetooth technology for a wide range of applications, including secure access, asset tracking, and indoor signage. Combined with NXP's Trimension® Ultra Wideband (UWB) secure radar and precision distance measurement product line, the MCX-W Series strengthens a broad range of market segments and applications in environmental computing. Supporting both standalone and hosted architectures, the MCX-W Series is pin- and software-compatible, enabling developers to easily migrate to the part that best suits their specific use case. The MCX W series is backed by MCUXpresso Developer Experience.
Also available for order from Mouser 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 integrated MCU-Link debugger, industry-standard connectors for easy access to MCU I/O, an accelerometer, a light sensor, and external SPI flash memory.
