Product details
Overview
MCXW716AMFPAT from NXP Semiconductors is a low-power, highly secure multiprotocol wireless MCU integrating Bluetooth LE 5.3, IEEE 802.15.4 (Thread/Matter/Zigbee), and no CAN FD interface. It features a 96 MHz Arm Cortex-M33 application core, 1 MB flash, 128 KB SRAM, and EdgeLock™ Secure Enclave for hardware-accelerated crypto. It targets battery-powered smart home sensors and industrial edge nodes requiring concurrent protocol support and robust security.
For engineers reviewing the MCXW716AMFPAT datasheet, MCXW716AMFPAT pinout, MCXW716AMFPAT application, or MCXW716AMFPAT equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated package mapping to 40-pin HVQFN, confirmed tri-core architecture partitioning, real-world power consumption data (e.g., <3 μA in Power-down with RTC active), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for Matter/Thread gateway designs.
Technical Context
The MCXW716AMFPAT implements a tri-core architecture: a 96 MHz Arm Cortex-M33 for application processing, a dedicated 64 MHz CM3 for 802.15.4 link layer, and an isolated EdgeLock™ Secure Enclave handling cryptographic operations, key management, and secure boot. This separation enforces strict domain isolation between connectivity, compute, and security functions.
It supports full simultaneous dual-PAN operation over a single 2.4 GHz radio for concurrent Thread and Zigbee networks, with –103 dBm RX sensitivity at 250 kbps (802.15.4) and –106 dBm at 125 kbps (BLE Long Range). The radio subsystem includes on-chip balun and integrated controller stack memory, reducing external component count.

The MCXW716AMFPAT supports Bluetooth Low Energy 5.3 and IEEE 802.15.4 (enabling Thread 1.3.0, Matter 1.0, and Zigbee 3.0). It does not include CAN FD functionality-this variant is explicitly differentiated in NXP's ordering table from the 'C' suffix parts like MCXW716CMFPA T. All protocol stacks are pre-integrated and tested per NXP's Rev. 2 datasheet.
Does the MCXW716AMFPAT include hardware security features?
Yes, the MCXW716AMFPAT integrates the EdgeLock™ Secure Enclave with hardware accelerators for AES-128/256, ECC P-256/384, SHA2-256/512, TRNG, secure key storage, and factory-programmed Root of Trust. It supports secure boot, encrypted flash (PRINCE XEX), and secure debug disable-all confirmed in the security chapter of the MCXW71RM reference manual.

The MCXW716AMFPAT uses a 40-pin HVQFN package (SOT618-13) measuring 6 × 6 × 0.85 mm with 0.5 mm pitch and wettable flanks. This is explicitly stated in Table 1 of the datasheet and matches the 'AMFPA' ordering code designation, distinguishing it from the 48-pin 'AMFTA' variants.
What is the operating temperature range for MCXW716AMFPAT?
The MCXW716AMFPAT is qualified for industrial operation from –40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature, with full junction temperature support across that range. This is specified in the Ordering Information table and verified in Section 2.4 of the Rev. 2 datasheet under Thermal Operating Requirements.
