Product details
Overview
NXH3675UK/A2Z from NXP Semiconductors is a Bluetooth® 5.3 LE Audio certified SoC enabling Auracast™ broadcast, supporting LC3/LC3plus codecs at up to 96 kHz, delivering ~20 ms ultra-low latency, and integrating dual CoolFlux® DSPs for real-time audio processing - ideal for gaming headsets requiring bi-directional streaming with <22 mW total power consumption.
For engineers reviewing the NXH3675UK/A2Z datasheet, NXH3675UK/A2Z pinout, NXH3675UK/A2Z application, or NXH3675UK/A2Z equivalent, key selection criteria include LE Audio compliance, dual-Cortex-M0+ architecture, PDM microphone interface support, proprietary low-latency protocol, and integration of radio + DSP + memory in a single chip optimized for battery-constrained hearables and wireless audio endpoints.
Technical Context
The NXH3675UK/A2Z implements a dual-core architecture: one Cortex-M0+ handles application control and BLE host stack, while a second dedicated Cortex-M0+ executes full software link-layer protocol up to HCI level. Its dual CoolFlux DSP subsystem processes LC3/LC3plus encoding/decoding, EQ, compression, gain control, and mixing in real time.
It supports simultaneous unicast topologies (up to 7 streams), 48/96 kHz sample rates, TMAP-compliant HQ audio, and proprietary ultra-low-latency streaming (~20 ms) with forward stereo (48 kHz/24-bit) and return mono (32 kHz/24-bit) paths - all within a single 2.4 GHz radio subsystem.

The NXH3675UK/A2Z implements Bluetooth 5.3 LE Audio with full certification, including support for the LC3 and LC3plus codecs, Auracast™ broadcast, and multi-stream unicast topologies. It complies with the Bluetooth SIG's LE Audio specification and is qualified for use in commercial products requiring interoperability with certified receivers and transmitters.
Does the NXH3675UK/A2Z support native PDM microphone inputs?
Yes, the NXH3675UK/A2Z integrates two dedicated digital PDM input terminals (PDM_IN0 and PDM_IN1), enabling direct connection of MEMS microphones without external PDM-to-I2S converters or ADCs. This reduces system BOM cost and PCB area while preserving signal integrity in noise-sensitive applications like hearing aids and conferencing devices.
What is the measured end-to-end latency of the NXH3675UK/A2Z in gaming mode?
The NXH3675UK/A2Z achieves ~20 ms end-to-end latency in its proprietary gaming profile, verified under simultaneous forward stereo (48 kHz/24-bit) and return mono (32 kHz/24-bit) streaming. This latency value is measured from source PCM input to speaker output and includes encoding, RF transmission, decoding, and analog output stages - all enabled by on-chip dual DSP and optimized protocol stack.
Is an external crystal required for the NXH3675UK/A2Z?
No, the NXH3675UK/A2Z includes an integrated low-power 16 MHz/32 MHz crystal oscillator with auto-tuning capacitors and automatic frequency selection. This eliminates the need for external crystal load capacitors and simplifies layout, while maintaining ±20 ppm frequency stability across temperature and voltage ranges specified in the NXH3675UK/A2Z datasheet.
Which development kits are officially supported for the NXH3675UK/A2Z?
NXP officially supports two starter kits for the NXH3675UK/A2Z: the NXH3675 EVK with LPC55 host MCU (for USB-audio applications) and the NXH3675 SDK with KL27 host MCU (for general-purpose evaluation).
