Product details
Overview
MCXW716CMFTAT from NXP Semiconductors is a low-power, highly secure, single-chip multiprotocol wireless MCU integrating Bluetooth Low Energy 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 cryptography. It targets industrial IoT gateways requiring simultaneous protocol support and robust security.
For engineers reviewing the MCXW716CMFTAT datasheet, MCXW716CMFTAT pinout, MCXW716CMFTAT application, or MCXW716CMFTAT equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world use cases in Matter-enabled smart home hubs and industrial CAN FD sensor networks, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and packaging differences.
Technical Context
The MCXW716CMFTAT implements a hardware-isolated tri-core architecture: an Arm Cortex-M33 application core (96 MHz, TrustZone-M, FPU, 8 KB code cache), a dedicated CM3 narrowband radio core (64 MHz, 256 KB flash, 88 KB SRAM), and an EdgeLock Secure Enclave with PRINCE encryption, TRNG, and secure key management. This separation enforces strict domain isolation between connectivity, computation, and security.
Its dual-radio subsystem supports full simultaneous dual-PAN operation for Thread and Zigbee on IEEE 802.15.4, while the integrated FlexCAN controller complies fully with CAN Specification 2.0 Part B and CAN FD, enabling deterministic industrial control messaging alongside wireless mesh networking - all within a single 48-pin HVQFN package with wettable flanks.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multiprotocol wireless MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCXW716CMFPA T | Same die, 40-pin HVQFN package (22 GPIO), identical flash/SRAM/radio/peripheral specs | Reduced I/O count and smaller footprint; suitable for space-constrained designs where 29 GPIO not required | Select when board layout prioritizes compactness over maximum peripheral flexibility; verify pin mapping compatibility with existing 48-pin design |
| K32W061DHT0 | NXP K32W061: single-core Cortex-M4F @ 48 MHz, no CAN FD, no EdgeLock Secure Enclave, 512 KB flash, 128 KB SRAM | Lacks industrial CAN FD interface and hardware-enforced security domain; limited to BLE/Thread-only applications | Choose only for cost-sensitive BLE/Thread gateway designs without industrial bus requirements or high-assurance security mandates |
Compared with MCXW716CMFTAT, MCXW716CMFPA T offers identical functionality in a smaller 40-pin package but fewer GPIOs, while K32W061DHT0 provides lower-cost BLE/Thread capability without CAN FD or EdgeLock-level security-making MCXW716CMFTAT the sole option for Matter+CAN FD+industrial security convergence.

FAQ
What wireless protocols does the MCXW716CMFTAT support simultaneously?
The MCXW716CMFTAT supports Bluetooth Low Energy 5.3, IEEE 802.15.4 (for Thread, Matter, and Zigbee), and CAN FD concurrently. Its dual-radio architecture enables true simultaneous dual-PAN operation-allowing the same device to participate in both a Thread network and a Zigbee network at the same time-while the FlexCAN module handles industrial CAN FD traffic independently. This is validated in NXP's MCXW71RM reference manual and confirmed in the datasheet's ordering table.
Does the MCXW716CMFTAT include hardware cryptographic acceleration?
Yes, the MCXW716CMFTAT integrates a dedicated EdgeLock Secure Enclave with hardware accelerators for AES-128/192/256 (ECB/CBC/GCM/CCM), ECC NIST P-256/P-384, SHA2-256/384, and PRINCE on-the-fly flash decryption. These are physically isolated from the application core via TrustZone-M and TRDC, and are used by the secure boot ROM and OTA update framework. All cryptographic operations execute inside the enclave without exposing keys to main memory.
What is the operating temperature range for the MCXW716CMFTAT?
The MCXW716CMFTAT is qualified for industrial operation from –40 °C to 125 °C (ambient and junction), as specified in Table 1 of the official NXP datasheet (Rev. 2, 09/2024). This rating applies to the full feature set-including CAN FD, BLE 5.3, and 802.15.4 radio operation-and is validated across voltage rails (VDD_CORE, VDD_SYS, VDD_RF) per thermal testing per JEDEC JESD22-A103.
How many GPIOs are available on the MCXW716CMFTAT package?
The MCXW716CMFTAT uses a 48-pin HVQFN package and provides 29 GPIOs, as explicitly stated in Table 1 (Ordering Information) of the NXP datasheet. These are distributed across Ports A–D, with specific pin assignments detailed in Section 5.1 (Pinout Table) and Figure 5-1 (Pinout Diagram) of the same document. Unused pins require proper termination per Section 5.2.
Is the MCXW716CMFTAT pin-compatible with other members of the MCX W71 family?
Yes-the MCXW716CMFTAT shares the same 48-pin HVQFN (SOT619-17(D)) package and pinout with MCXW716CMFTAR and MCXW716AMFTAT. However, it is not pin-compatible with 40-pin variants (e.g., MCXW716CMFPA T), which have different pin counts and signal mappings. Pin compatibility is confirmed in NXP's package drawings SOT619-17(D) and the "Pinout Table" section of the datasheet.
