Product details
Overview
MCXW716CMFPAT 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 FlexCAN supporting CAN FD per ISO 11898-1. It features a tri-core architecture (Arm Cortex-M33 @ 96 MHz + dedicated CM3 radio core), 1 MB flash, 128 KB SRAM, and EdgeLock™ Secure Enclave for hardware-accelerated crypto. It targets industrial IoT gateways and smart home hubs requiring concurrent protocol support and robust security.
For engineers reviewing the MCXW716CMFPAT datasheet, MCXW716CMFPAT pinout, MCXW716CMFPAT application, or MCXW716CMFPAT equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin-level design meaning, real-world use-case mapping, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application differences - all grounded in NXP's Rev. 2 (09/2024) technical data sheet and official ordering information.
Technical Context
The MCXW716CMFPAT implements a hardware-isolated tri-core architecture: an Arm Cortex-M33 application core (96 MHz, TrustZone-M, FPU, 8 KB code cache), a dedicated 64 MHz CM3 narrowband radio core for IEEE 802.15.4/Bluetooth LE link-layer processing, and an EdgeLock Secure Enclave managing cryptographic operations, key lifecycle, and tamper response. This separation enforces strict domain isolation between connectivity, computation, and security functions.
Its RF subsystem supports full simultaneous dual-PAN operation for Thread and Zigbee, includes on-chip balun and single-ended RF port, and achieves –106 dBm BLE LR sensitivity at 125 kbps and –103 dBm 802.15.4 sensitivity at 250 kbps. The integrated FlexCAN module complies fully with CAN Specification 2.0 Part B and CAN FD, with programmable bit rates up to 5 Mbps and support for both classic and FD frames.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multiprotocol wireless MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCXW716CMFTA | Identical silicon, same 48-pin HVQFN package, identical flash/SRAM/peripherals; differs only in packaging (tray vs. tape-and-reel) | No functional difference; suitable for same applications; selected based on assembly line feed requirements | Choose MCXW716CMFTA for automated SMT placement with tape-and-reel delivery; otherwise functionally interchangeable. |
| MCXW716CMFPA | Same feature set but in 40-pin HVQFN package; reduced GPIO count (22 vs. 29); identical radio, security, and memory specs | Targeted at space-constrained designs where fewer I/Os are needed; not pin-compatible due to smaller footprint and pin mapping change | Select MCXW716CMFPA when board area is critical and GPIO count can be reduced; requires PCB redesign. |
Compared with MCXW716CMFPAT, MCXW716CMFTA offers identical functionality in tape-and-reel format for high-volume SMT, while MCXW716CMFPA provides the same secure multiprotocol capability in a smaller 40-pin HVQFN-enabling compact designs at the cost of 7 fewer GPIOs and non-pin-compatible layout.

FAQ
What wireless protocols does the MCXW716CMFPAT support simultaneously?
The MCXW716CMFPAT supports Bluetooth Low Energy 5.3, IEEE 802.15.4 (for Thread, Matter, and Zigbee), and CAN FD concurrently. Its tri-core architecture isolates protocol stacks-Cortex-M33 handles application and Matter/Thread host stacks, the dedicated CM3 core manages 802.15.4/Bluetooth link layers, and FlexCAN operates independently-enabling true simultaneous operation without software arbitration overhead. Verified in NXP's Rev. 2 datasheet Section 1.
Does the MCXW716CMFPAT include hardware security features beyond TrustZone-M?
Yes, the MCXW716CMFPAT integrates the EdgeLock™ Secure Enclave, which provides hardware-accelerated AES-128/192/256, ECC, RSA, SHA2, and Poly1305; secure key generation, storage, and management; PRINCE XEX flash encryption; and tamper detection with timestamped GPIO triggers. These features operate independently of the Cortex-M33 core and are validated in the Security chapter of the Rev. 2 datasheet (Section 3.4).
What is the maximum transmit power and receive sensitivity of the MCXW716CMFPAT radio?
The MCXW716CMFPAT achieves programmable transmit output power up to +10 dBm and delivers –106 dBm receive sensitivity at 125 kbps (BLE Long Range), –103 dBm at 250 kbps (IEEE 802.15.4), and –97.5 dBm at 1 Mbps (BLE). These values are measured under standard conditions (25 °C, DC-DC buck mode, 3.3 V supply) and specified in Tables 3.4.2 and 3.4.3 of the Rev. 2 datasheet.
Is the MCXW716CMFPAT pin-compatible with other members of the MCX W71 family?
MCXW716CMFPAT is pin-compatible with MCXW716CMFTA (same 48-pin HVQFN package and pinout) but not with 40-pin variants like MCXW716CMFPA. The 48-pin variants share identical mechanical and electrical pin assignments per NXP's package drawing SOT619-17(D); however, pin compatibility does not imply identical peripheral enablement across all part numbers-always verify peripheral mapping in the specific device's datasheet section 5.1.
What power modes and current consumption levels does the MCXW716CMFPAT support?
The MCXW716CMFPAT supports seven power modes, including Deep Power-down (<1.5 µA with RTC active), Power-down (<3 µA with RTC + 32 KB SRAM retention), and multiple low-power run modes. Active core current is <5.3 mA at 96 MHz; radio RX current is 4.7 mA; TX at 0 dBm is 4.6 mA. All values are measured at 3.3 V, 25 °C, DC-DC buck mode, and documented in Section 2.2.7 of the Rev. 2 datasheet.
