Product details
Overview
JN5188HN/001Z from NXP Semiconductors is an ultra-low-power Arm® Cortex®-M4 wireless microcontroller supporting Zigbee 3.0 and Thread protocols, featuring a 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver, 320 KB embedded Flash, 88 KB SRAM, and deep power-down current of 350 nA - enabling multi-year coin-cell operation in smart lighting and home automation endpoints.
For engineers reviewing the JN5188HN/001Z datasheet, JN5188HN/001Z pinout, JN5188HN/001Z application, or JN5188HN/001Z equivalent, this device delivers verified radio sensitivity (−100 dBm), integrated RF balun, 12-bit ADC with 8 channels, dual I²C/SPI/USART interfaces, and hardware-accelerated AES-128/256 security - all in a 6 × 6 mm HVQFN40 package.
Technical Context
The JN5188HN/001Z integrates an Arm Cortex-M4 CPU running at up to 48 MHz with memory protection unit (MPU), NVIC, and Serial Wire Debug (SWD); its radio subsystem implements full IEEE 802.15.4-2011 compliance with configurable transmit power (0 to +10 dBm) and antenna diversity control. The MCU supports OTA firmware updates via its 320 KB Flash memory.
Low-power operation is enabled by multiple sleep states - including Deep Power-down (350 nA), Deep-sleep, and Sleep modes - with wake-up capability from GPIOs, low-power timers, I²C, USART, or SPI peripherals. The 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator and ultra-low-power sleep oscillator support precise RTC timing and long-duration wake intervals.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar wireless MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JN5189HN/001Z | 640 KB Flash / 152 KB SRAM; otherwise identical architecture, pinout, and peripheral set | Supports larger Zigbee/Thread applications requiring additional OTA staging space or complex sensor fusion algorithms | Select when application code size exceeds 320 KB or when future-proofing for feature expansion is required |
| EFR32MG21A020F768IM32 | Silicon Labs chip; 768 KB Flash, 96 KB RAM, +20 dBm output, proprietary Simplicity Studio toolchain | Higher RF output and longer range; targets commercial building automation where regulatory limits permit +20 dBm | Choose for extended-range deployments or when leveraging Silicon Labs' Matter-over-Thread ecosystem |
Compared with JN5188HN/001Z, JN5189HN/001Z offers double the memory for complex stacks or field-upgradable features, while EFR32MG21 provides higher transmit power and Matter readiness - but requires toolchain migration and lacks native NFC support even in T-variants.

FAQ
What wireless protocols does the JN5188HN/001Z natively support?
The JN5188HN/001Z natively supports Zigbee 3.0 and Thread networking stacks out of the box, implemented in ROM and validated per IEEE 802.15.4-2011. It does not support Bluetooth LE, Wi-Fi, or proprietary 2.4 GHz protocols without third-party firmware adaptation. The JN5188HN/001Z radio subsystem is fully compliant and certified for use in global 2.4 GHz ISM bands.
Does the JN5188HN/001Z include an integrated NFC interface?
No, the JN5188HN/001Z does not include an integrated NFC tag. Only the JN5188THN and JN5189THN variants feature the embedded NTAG I²C device compliant with NFC Forum Type 2. The JN5188HN/001Z shares the same HVQFN40 package and pinout but omits the LA/LB NFC antenna terminals - those pins are no-connect (n.c.) in this variant.
What is the minimum supply voltage for reliable operation of the JN5188HN/001Z?
The JN5188HN/001Z operates reliably from 1.9 V to 3.6 V. At 1.9 V, all peripherals including the 2.4 GHz transceiver, 12-bit ADC, and Cortex-M4 core function within specification, enabling direct use with partially discharged coin cells or single Li-SOCl₂ batteries. Below 1.9 V, brown-out detection triggers reset to prevent undefined behavior.
Can the JN5188HN/001Z execute Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates?
Yes, the JN5188HN/001Z supports secure OTA firmware updates using its 320 KB embedded Flash memory. The bootloader reserves protected sectors for dual-bank operation, allowing validated new images to be written while the current application runs. AES-256 decryption and SHA-256 signature verification are performed in hardware during download and activation phases of the JN5188HN/001Z OTA process.
How many ADC channels does the JN5188HN/001Z support, and what is their resolution?
The JN5188HN/001Z integrates a single 12-bit successive-approximation ADC with 8 input channels (ADC0–ADC7). It achieves up to 190 ksamples/s maximum sampling rate, supports hardware-triggered conversions, DMA-linked acquisition, and continuous scan mode - enabling simultaneous monitoring of battery voltage, temperature sensor, and external analog sensors without CPU intervention.
