KW30Z: Kinetis^® KW30Z-2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy 4.1 Microcontroller based on Arm^® Cortex^®-M0+

Overview

Note: QN9090/30 is preferred for any new Bluetooth LE design. No new software releases planned

The KW30Z is an ultra low-power, highly-integrated single-chip device that enables Bluetooth^® Smart/Bluetooth^® Low Energy v4.1 RF connectivity for portable, extremely low-power embedded systems. Applications include portable health care devices, wearable sports and fitness devices, AV remote controls, computer keyboards and mice, gaming controllers and access control.

The KW30Z Wireless MCU integrates a 2.4 GHz transceiver, an Arm^® Cortex^®-M0+ CPU, 160 KB Flash and 20 KB SRAM, Bluetooth Low Energy Link Layer hardware, hardware security and peripherals optimized to meet the requirements of the target applications.
