Product details
Overview
RW610BHN/A2IMP from NXP Semiconductors is a secure Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth LE 5.4 wireless MCU featuring a 260 MHz Arm Cortex-M33 core with TrustZone-M, 1.2 MB on-chip SRAM, and integrated Wi-Fi 6 (2.4/5 GHz, 1×1, MCS9) and Bluetooth LE 5.4 radios - deployed in smart home hubs, industrial gateways, and Matter-compliant edge devices.
For engineers reviewing the RW610BHN/A2IMP datasheet, RW610BHN/A2IMP pinout, RW610BHN/A2IMP application, or RW610BHN/A2IMP equivalent, key selection considerations include single-supply 3.3 V operation, IEEE 802.11ax compliance at 20 MHz channel bandwidth, Bluetooth LE 2 Mbps mode support, EdgeLock security certification (PSA L3, SESIP L3), and TFBGA-145 package compatibility.
Technical Context
The RW610BHN/A2IMP implements a dual-radio architecture with dedicated Wi-Fi 6 MAC/baseband and Bluetooth LE 5.4 link-layer processors, enabling concurrent protocol stack execution without CPU arbitration overhead. It supports Matter over Wi-Fi but excludes Thread/Zigbee due to absence of integrated 802.15.4 PHY - confirmed by NXP's RW610 vs RW612 product differentiation documentation.
Power management includes independent subsystem wake-up via GPIO/IRQ/RTC, low-leakage always-on domain for sub-100 µs wake latency, and integrated buck regulators/LDOs supplying all internal power domains from a single 3.3 V rail - verified in RW61XFS REV 0 Fact Sheet Section 5.1.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar wireless MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESP32-H2 (Espressif) | Integrated IEEE 802.15.4 only (no Wi-Fi); 272 MHz RISC-V core; no PSA L3 certification | Targeted for Thread/Zigbee-only mesh nodes; lacks Matter over Wi-Fi capability | Select when Thread-only networking suffices and PSA-level security is not required. |
| RTL8720CM (Realtek) | Wi-Fi 4 + BLE 5.0; no TrustZone-M or PUF; 196 MHz ARM Cortex-M4F | Cost-optimized for basic smart home accessories; no Matter or EdgeLock security stack | Choose for non-Matter, non-industrial applications where BOM cost is primary constraint. |
Compared with ESP32-H2 and RTL8720CM, the RW610BHN/A2IMP uniquely combines Wi-Fi 6, BLE 5.4, and PSA L3-certified EdgeLock security in a single die - making it the only option for Matter-over-Wi-Fi controllers requiring industrial-grade lifecycle assurance and secure over-the-air updates.

FAQ
Does RW610BHN/A2IMP support Matter over Thread?
No, RW610BHN/A2IMP does not support Matter over Thread. Unlike the RW612, it omits the integrated 802.15.4 radio required for Thread networking. The RW610BHN/A2IMP supports Matter exclusively over Wi-Fi 6, as confirmed in NXP's RW61XFS REV 0 Fact Sheet and product comparison tables. For Thread-based Matter deployments, the RW612 or RW612-based modules must be selected instead.
What is the maximum transmit power for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on RW610BHN/A2IMP?
The RW610BHN/A2IMP integrates an on-chip Wi-Fi PA delivering up to +21 dBm output power and a Bluetooth LE PA supporting up to +15 dBm - both values measured at the RF pins per NXP's RW61XFS REV 0 specification table. These levels are achieved without external amplifiers, enabling robust range in dense indoor environments typical of smart home and industrial settings.
Is RW610BHN/A2IMP pin-compatible with RW612 variants?
No, RW610BHN/A2IMP is not pin-compatible with RW612 variants. Although both share the 145-pin TFBGA package footprint, NXP explicitly documents distinct pin assignments for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth RF paths, security signals, and peripheral multiplexing. The RW610BHN/A2IMP lacks pins associated with the 802.15.4 radio present in RW612, resulting in incompatible ball mapping and electrical signaling.
Which development tools support RW610BHN/A2IMP firmware development?
RW610BHN/A2IMP is supported by NXP's MCUXpresso SDK toolchain, including MCUXpresso IDE, configuration tools, and debug probes. It also integrates with Zephyr RTOS via official NXP porting layers. FreeRTOS-based middleware and Matter reference implementations are provided in the MCUXpresso SDK v2.15+ - all validated against RW610BHN/A2IMP silicon revision A2.
What operating temperature range is specified for RW610BHN/A2IMP?
RW610BHN/A2IMP is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40 °C to +85 °C, as documented in Section 7.1 of the RW61XFS REV 0 Fact Sheet. This range applies to the full 145-pin TFBGA variant (RW610BHN/A2IMP) and is validated across voltage supply (3.3 V ±10%) and all enabled radio modes, including concurrent Wi-Fi 6 and BLE 5.4 operation.
