Product details
Overview
RW610BHN/A2IK from NXP Semiconductors is a secure wireless MCU integrating a 260 MHz Arm Cortex-M33 core with TrustZone-M, 1.2 MB on-chip SRAM, and dual-band (2.4/5 GHz) Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth 5.4 radios - designed for Matter-enabled smart home hubs, industrial gateways, and healthcare edge devices requiring single-supply operation and hardware root of trust.
For engineers reviewing the RW610BHN/A2IK datasheet, RW610BHN/A2IK pinout, RW610BHN/A2IK application, or RW610BHN/A2IK equivalent, key selection criteria include its Wi-Fi 6 throughput (MCS9 @ 20 MHz), Bluetooth 5.4 2 Mbps mode, integrated EdgeLock security stack, and support for Matter over Wi-Fi - all in an 8 mm × 8 mm 145-pin TFBGA package.
Technical Context
The RW610BHN/A2IK implements a tri-radio architecture with dedicated Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.4 baseband/MAC processors, plus independent RF front-ends including integrated PA/LNA/Tx-Rx switch. It supports IEEE 1588 RMII Ethernet interface and Quad FlexSPI with on-the-fly AES decryption for secure XIP flash access.
Its power architecture integrates buck regulators and LDOs to supply multiple internal domains, enabling subsystem-level wake-up via GPIO/IRQ/RTC while maintaining low-leakage always-on domain for sub-100 µs wake latency. The MCU subsystem includes PowerQuad co-processor and hardware accelerators for AES, SHA, ECC, and TRNG.

FAQ
What is the primary radio configuration supported by RW610BHN/A2IK?
The RW610BHN/A2IK integrates a dual-band (2.4/5 GHz) 1×1 Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) radio and a Bluetooth 5.4 radio - but unlike the RW612, it does not include an integrated 802.15.4 radio. Its tri-radio designation refers to Wi-Fi + BLE + optional external 802.15.4 module support via SDIO or SPI interfaces. RW610BHN/A2IK maintains full Matter-over-Wi-Fi and Matter-over-BLE capability.
Does RW610BHN/A2IK support IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol?
Yes, RW610BHN/A2IK supports IEEE 1588 via its RMII/Fast Ethernet interface, enabling hardware timestamping and sub-microsecond synchronization for time-sensitive industrial applications. This feature is implemented in the Ethernet MAC layer and requires external PHY configuration for full PTP slave/master operation. RW610BHN/A2IK's integrated timing engine ensures deterministic latency for timestamp capture.
What security certifications apply to RW610BHN/A2IK?
RW610BHN/A2IK is certified under NXP's EdgeLock Assurance program with SESIP Level 3 and PSA Certified Level 3. It includes hardware root of trust, secure boot verified by immutable ROM code, PUF-based key generation, and CAVP-certified AES/SHA/ECC accelerators. These certifications cover secure firmware updates, debug lockdown, and lifecycle management - all enforced by the EdgeLock security subsystem within RW610BHN/A2IK.
Can RW610BHN/A2IK operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes, RW610BHN/A2IK is designed to operate from a single 3.3 V external supply. Its integrated power management unit includes buck regulators and LDOs that generate all required internal voltages (e.g., 1.1 V core, 1.8 V I/O, 2.5 V analog). This eliminates need for external PMICs and simplifies power design for compact IoT edge devices using RW610BHN/A2IK.
Which development tools support RW610BHN/A2IK firmware development?
RW610BHN/A2IK is supported by NXP's MCUXpresso SDK toolchain, including MCUXpresso IDE, configuration tools, and debug probes. It provides FreeRTOS-based middleware with pre-integrated Matter stack, Wi-Fi 6 drivers, and Bluetooth 5.4 host/controller layers. Zephyr RTOS support is also available through official NXP BSPs, enabling portable firmware development across the RW61x family including RW610BHN/A2IK.
