KW20Z: Kinetis^® KW20Z-2.4 GHz 802.15.4 Wireless Radio Microcontroller based on Arm^® Cortex^®-M0+

Overview

Note: JN5189/88T is preferred for any new new Zigbee®, Thread design. No new software releases planned

The KW20Z is an ultra low-power, highly-integrated single-chip device that enables IEEE^® 802.15.4-2011 RF connectivity for portable, extremely low-power embedded systems. Applications include portable health care devices, access control, security systems, smart energy and home area networks.

The KW20Z Wireless MCU integrates a 2.4 GHz transceiver supporting O-QPSK modulations, an Arm^® Cortex^®-M0+ CPU, 160 KB Flash and 20 KB SRAM, 802.15.4 packet processor, hardware security and peripherals optimized to meet the requirements of the target applications.
