Product details
Overview
IW416UK/A1IZ from NXP Semiconductors is a dual-band 1×1 Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Bluetooth 5.2 Combo SoC supporting simultaneous 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Wi-Fi operation at up to 150 Mbit/s PHY rate and Bluetooth LE 2 Mbps, Long Range, and Periodic Advertising Sync Transfer. It integrates TX PAs, RX LNAs, and RF switches for single- or dual-antenna configurations and targets industrial-grade embedded connectivity in smart home gateways, IP cameras, and asset trackers.
For engineers reviewing the IW416UK/A1IZ datasheet, IW416UK/A1IZ pinout, IW416UK/A1IZ application, or IW416UK/A1IZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its WLCSP76 package with 0.35 mm pitch, industrial temperature range (−40 to +85 °C), SDIO 3.0 + UART host interfaces, integrated coexistence hardware (PTA/WCI-2), and dual ARM CPU architecture (Wi-Fi @ 160 MHz, Bluetooth @ 128 MHz).
Technical Context
The IW416UK/A1IZ implements independent ARM-based Wi-Fi and Bluetooth subsystems with dedicated baseband/MAC logic, on-chip RF front ends (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi transceivers + Bluetooth 2.4 GHz transceiver), and a central hardware packet traffic arbiter for internal Wi-Fi/Bluetooth coexistence. Its dual-antenna configuration enables true concurrent operation, while single-antenna mode supports arbitrated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and simultaneous 5 GHz Wi-Fi/Bluetooth.
It supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n (including DFS, TPC, and 802.11k/v/r/u/w) and Bluetooth 5.1/5.2 features (LE 2 Mbps, Long Range, PAST, Secure Connections), with AES encryption for both Wi-Fi (WPA3/WPA2) and Bluetooth (AES-CCM). Audio is handled via shared I2S/PCM interfaces with hardware-accelerated SCO/eSCO processing.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-band Wi-Fi 4 and Bluetooth combo applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESP32-WROVER-B (Espressif) | Wi-Fi 4 + Bluetooth 4.2 (not 5.2); no LE 2 Mbps, Long Range, or PAST; uses internal flash, lacks hardware PTA arbiter. | Lower-cost consumer IoT; unsuitable for industrial BLE mesh or long-range sensor networks requiring Bluetooth 5.2 features. | Select IW416UK/A1IZ when Bluetooth 5.2 certification, hardware coexistence, or industrial temperature operation is mandatory. |
| QCA9377-3 (Qualcomm) | Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) + Bluetooth 4.2; larger HVQFN68 package; no integrated RF switches or BLE 5.x features. | Higher-throughput Wi-Fi clients (laptops, STBs); lacks BLE 5.2 capabilities needed for modern IoT sensor ecosystems. | Choose IW416UK/A1IZ for compact WLCSP76 footprint, Bluetooth 5.2 feature set, and unified coexistence architecture in space- and power-constrained designs. |
Compared with ESP32-WROVER-B and QCA9377-3, the IW416UK/A1IZ delivers Bluetooth 5.2-specific capabilities (LE 2 Mbps, Long Range, PAST), hardware-enforced Wi-Fi/Bluetooth coexistence, and industrial-grade thermal reliability in a miniature WLCSP76 package-making it optimal for next-generation certified IoT endpoints where feature completeness and environmental robustness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the IW416UK/A1IZ?
The IW416UK/A1IZ is qualified for industrial operation from −40 °C to +85 °C. This rating is validated across all functional blocks-including Wi-Fi MAC/baseband, Bluetooth baseband, RF transceivers, and power management circuits-ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments such as factory automation controllers and outdoor surveillance equipment. The IW416UK/A1IZ maintains full compliance with IEEE 802.11n and Bluetooth 5.2 specifications across this entire range.
Does the IW416UK/A1IZ support simultaneous Wi-Fi and Bluetooth operation?
Yes, the IW416UK/A1IZ supports simultaneous operation in dual-antenna configuration (independent Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios active concurrently) and in single-antenna configuration for 5 GHz Wi-Fi + Bluetooth. In 2.4 GHz band with single antenna, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth transmit/receive operations are arbitrated by the on-chip hardware packet traffic arbiter. The IW416UK/A1IZ implements this coexistence natively without host CPU intervention.
Which host interfaces does the IW416UK/A1IZ provide for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity?
The IW416UK/A1IZ provides SDIO 3.0 for Wi-Fi host communication and a high-speed UART (up to 3 Mbit/s) for Bluetooth. These interfaces are electrically and logically isolated, preventing bus contention. The IW416UK/A1IZ does not share pins between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth host functions-SDIO and UART operate independently with dedicated signal sets and voltage domains (VIO_SD and AVDD18).
What Bluetooth 5.2 features are implemented in the IW416UK/A1IZ?
The IW416UK/A1IZ implements Bluetooth 5.2 features including LE 2 Mbps data rate, LE Long Range (coded PHY), Periodic Advertising Sync Transfer (PAST), LE Advertising Extensions, and LE Secure Connections. It is Bluetooth SIG certified for version 5.2. The IW416UK/A1IZ also supports LE Data Length Extension and Intelligent Adaptive Frequency Hopping, all executed in hardware for deterministic latency and low power consumption.
Is the IW416UK/A1IZ pin-compatible with other IW416 variants like IW416HN/A1IK?
No, the IW416UK/A1IZ (WLCSP76) is not pin-compatible with IW416HN/A1IK (HVQFN68)-they use entirely different packages, bump/pin counts, and layout footprints. While both share identical electrical functionality and register-level compatibility, PCB redesign is required to migrate between WLCSP76 and HVQFN68 variants. The IW416UK/A1IZ requires microvia-based HDI routing due to its 0.35 mm pitch and 76-bump array.
