Product details
Overview
NXH3675UK/A1Z from NXP Semiconductors is a Bluetooth® 5.3 LE Audio certified SoC enabling Auracast™ broadcast, multi-stream audio (up to 7 streams), and LC3plus codec support at 48/96 kHz sample rates. It integrates dual CoolFlux® DSPs, two Cortex-M0+ cores (application + link-layer), and ultra-low latency proprietary streaming (~20 ms), targeting gaming headsets, wireless earbuds, and conferencing speakerphones.
For engineers reviewing the NXH3675UK/A1Z datasheet, NXH3675UK/A1Z pinout, NXH3675UK/A1Z application, or NXH3675UK/A1Z equivalent, key selection criteria include LE Audio certification status, LC3plus encoding capability at 96 kHz, dual-microphone PDM interface support, 22 mW typical streaming power, and integrated 16/32 MHz crystal oscillator with auto-frequency selection.
Technical Context
The NXH3675UK/A1Z implements a dual-processor architecture: one Cortex-M0+ runs the Bluetooth host stack and application firmware, while a second dedicated Cortex-M0+ handles full software-based link-layer processing up to HCI level. This separation ensures deterministic real-time control of radio timing and protocol state transitions.
Its dual CoolFlux DSP subsystem executes LC3 and LC3plus encode/decode, PLC, EQ, compression, gain control, and mixing - all at 48 kHz or 96 kHz sampling rates. The device supports simultaneous forward (stereo, 48 kHz, 24-bit) and return (mono, 32 kHz, 24-bit) audio paths with end-to-end latency of ~20 ms using NXP's proprietary protocol.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Bluetooth LE Audio SoC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qualcomm QCC5171 | Single-CPU architecture (Kryo 305); supports LE Audio but lacks dual-DSP audio acceleration and proprietary <20 ms latency mode. | Targeted at premium TWS with ANC, but requires external DSP for real-time 96 kHz LC3plus decode. | Prefer NXH3675UK/A1Z when sub-20 ms latency or integrated 96 kHz LC3plus encode/decode is mandatory. |
| Apple H2 (A2817) | Proprietary silicon; not publicly documented; no public SDK or third-party development support. | Exclusive to Apple ecosystem devices; no Auracast™ broadcast capability or multi-vendor interoperability. | Prefer NXH3675UK/A1Z for cross-platform LE Audio interoperability, Auracast™ deployment, and open development toolchain. |
