Wireless MCUs
Processors with Integrated Connectivity
As the IoT market continues to evolve and grow, developers need more options for wireless processing with connectivity. NXP’s wireless MCUs combine multiprotocol radios with a power computing architecture. Supporting Matter, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® LE, Thread, and Zigbee connectivity with an Arm® Cortex®-M core and a rich set of peripherals, NXP’s connected processors deliver the right balance of performance, connectivity, and low-power for IoT and automotive applications.
RW61x Tri-Radio Wi-Fi MCUs
Built on NXP’s i.MX RT600 crossover MCU family, the RW61x series offer highly integrated, low-power tri-radio wireless MCUs with an integrated Arm® Cortex®-M33 and Wi-Fi® 6 + Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) 5.4 / 802.15.4 radios. RW61x wireless MCUs are designed for a broad array of applications, including connected smart home devices, enterprise and industrial automation, smart accessories and smart energy.
The RW61x series is supported by the MCUXpresso Developer Experience and NXP's FRDM development platform.
