Product details
Overview
JN5189-DK006 from NXP Semiconductors is an ultra-low-power Arm® Cortex®-M4 wireless microcontroller supporting Zigbee 3.0 and Thread protocols, integrating a 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver, 640 KB Flash, 152 KB RAM, and dual-channel PDM microphone interface. It delivers −100 dBm receiver sensitivity, +11 dBm configurable transmit power, 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 JN5189-DK006 datasheet, JN5189-DK006 pinout, JN5189-DK006 application, or JN5189-DK006 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context on its radio coexistence, low-power timer operation in power-down mode, NFC-enabled variant differentiation (JN5189T), and hardware-accelerated security features including AES-128/256 and SHA-256.
Technical Context
The JN5189-DK006 implements a tightly integrated system-on-chip architecture where the Arm Cortex-M4 core (up to 48 MHz) directly controls the IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver with hardware MAC acceleration for packet formatting, CRC, address checking, and auto-ACKs. Its RF subsystem includes integrated balun, ultra-low-power sleep oscillator, and antenna diversity control signals (ADE/ADO).
Power management is hierarchical: Sleep mode suspends CPU while retaining SRAM and peripheral clocks; Deep-sleep disables more blocks; Power-down powers down main domains with wake-up from GPIO, I2C, USART, SPI, or low-power timers; Deep power-down draws only 350 nA and retains wake-up capability via IOs. The 32.768 kHz XTAL supports RTC and two independent low-power timers (41-bit and 28-bit) that operate continuously for >1 year or 2 days respectively.

FAQ
What wireless protocols does the JN5189-DK006 natively support?
The JN5189-DK006 natively supports Zigbee 3.0 and Thread networking stacks through its integrated IEEE 802.15.4-2011 transceiver and Arm Cortex-M4-based protocol stack execution. It does not support Bluetooth LE, Wi-Fi, or proprietary 2.4 GHz protocols out-of-the-box - those require custom firmware development beyond the certified stack.
Does the JN5189-DK006 include NFC functionality?
No - the JN5189-DK006 corresponds to the base JN5189HN variant without embedded NTAG. NFC capability is exclusive to the JN5189THN variant, which adds an integrated NTAG I²C device (NFC Forum Type 2) accessible via pins LA/LB. The JN5189-DK006 shares the same HVQFN40 package but omits NFC-related circuitry and pins.
What is the minimum supply voltage for JN5189-DK006 operation in active mode?
The JN5189-DK006 operates from 1.9 V to 3.6 V across all functional modes. At 1.9 V, the Arm Cortex-M4 core runs at reduced frequency (≤24 MHz), and radio transmit power is limited to ≤+3 dBm. Full 48 MHz operation and +11 dBm output require ≥2.7 V supply.
How many ADC channels does the JN5189-DK006 support, and what is their resolution?
The JN5189-DK006 integrates an 8-input, 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with maximum sampling rate of 190 ksamples/s. Channels ADC0–ADC5 are mapped to PIO14–PIO19; ADC6 and ADC7 are internal (battery/temperature sensors). DMA-linked operation enables continuous low-CPU-overhead acquisition.
Can the JN5189-DK006 execute Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates?
Yes - the JN5189-DK006 supports secure OTA firmware updates using its 640 KB embedded Flash memory. The bootloader reserves protected sectors for image validation (SHA-256 hash), signature verification (ECDSA), and atomic swap between active/inactive firmware banks - ensuring fail-safe recovery during update interruption.
