Product details
Overview
JN5189HN/001Z 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 SRAM, and dual-channel PDM microphone interface - deployed in battery-powered smart lighting and home automation endpoints.
For engineers reviewing the JN5189HN/001Z datasheet, JN5189HN/001Z pinout, JN5189HN/001Z application, or JN5189HN/001Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its −100 dBm receiver sensitivity, 350 nA deep power-down current, 48 MHz CPU operation, and HVQFN40 package with 22 GPIOs and integrated RF balun.
Technical Context
The JN5189HN/001Z implements a single-die SoC architecture combining an Arm Cortex-M4 core (up to 48 MHz) with a fully integrated 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 radio, MAC accelerator, and security engine (AES-128/256, SHA-1/256). It supports concurrent stack execution for Zigbee 3.0 and Thread without external memory.
Its low-power design includes four operational modes - Sleep, Deep-sleep, Power Down, and Deep Power-down (350 nA) - with wake-up capability from GPIOs, RTC alarms, or peripherals including I²C and USART. The device uses internal 32 MHz and 32.768 kHz oscillators and integrates a DC-DC converter with LX, FB, and VBAT pins.

FAQ
What wireless protocols does the JN5189HN/001Z natively support?
The JN5189HN/001Z natively supports Zigbee 3.0 and Thread networking stacks via its integrated IEEE 802.15.4-2011 transceiver and MAC accelerator. It does not support Bluetooth Low Energy or proprietary 2.4 GHz protocols out-of-box; those require third-party firmware adaptation. The JN5189HN/001Z is pre-certified for Zigbee 3.0 compliance and includes all necessary security primitives (AES, SHA) for stack-level encryption.
Does the JN5189HN/001Z include an integrated NFC interface?
No, the JN5189HN/001Z does not include an integrated NFC tag. Only the JN5189THN variant (marked "JN5189T") contains the embedded NTAG I²C device compliant with NFC Forum Type 2. The JN5189HN/001Z shares the same HVQFN40 package and pinout but omits LA/LB NFC antenna pins and associated internal circuitry - confirmed by Table 2 ordering information and Figure 3 pin configuration.
What is the minimum supply voltage required for full functionality of the JN5189HN/001Z?
The JN5189HN/001Z operates across a supply range of 1.9 V to 3.6 V. At 1.9 V, all peripherals-including the 2.4 GHz transceiver, Cortex-M4 core at 48 MHz, and 12-bit ADC-remain fully functional per datasheet Section 2.2 and Table 6 absolute maximum ratings. Below 1.9 V, brown-out detection triggers reset; operation is not guaranteed.
How many ADC input channels does the JN5189HN/001Z support, and what is their resolution?
The JN5189HN/001Z supports eight single-ended ADC input channels (ADC0–ADC7) with 12-bit resolution and a maximum sampling rate of 190 ksamples/s. Channels ADC0–ADC5 are mapped to PIO14–PIO19; ADC6 and ADC7 are available on dedicated pins per datasheet Table 4. Hardware supports sequenced conversions and DMA-triggered transfers to minimize CPU overhead during sensor polling.
Can the JN5189HN/001Z operate in deep power-down mode while maintaining RTC alarm wake-up capability?
Yes, the JN5189HN/001Z supports RTC alarm wake-up from Deep Power-down mode (350 nA). The 32-bit RTC runs from the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator or free-running oscillator, providing 1 ms resolution for alarm timers. This capability is validated in Section 2.4 and Figure 1 block diagram, enabling long-interval sensor polling (e.g., hourly temperature reads) without compromising battery life.
