Product details
Overview
RW610ET/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 - enabling Matter-over-Wi-Fi and Matter-over-Thread operation in smart home hubs and industrial gateways.
For engineers reviewing the RW610ET/A2IK datasheet, RW610ET/A2IK pinout, RW610ET/A2IK application, or RW610ET/A2IK equivalent, key selection criteria include its single 3.3 V supply operation, integrated EdgeLock security (PUF, secure boot, PSA L3 certified), Tri-radio concurrency support, and 8 mm × 8 mm 145-pin TFBGA package compatibility with RW612-based designs.
Technical Context
The RW610ET/A2IK implements a dedicated Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) MAC/baseband with 1×1 20 MHz channel support at MCS9, integrated PA/LNA/T-R switch delivering up to +21 dBm TX power, and WPA3 personal/enterprise security. Its Bluetooth 5.4 subsystem supports 2 Mbps data rate, long-range mode, and extended advertising - distinct from RW612's Bluetooth 5.2 + 802.15.4 dual-stack.
Unlike the RW612, the RW610ET/A2IK omits the on-chip 802.15.4 radio and Thread/Zigbee protocol acceleration, retaining only Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity. It shares the same MCU subsystem architecture: Quad FlexSPI with on-the-fly decryption for XIP flash, IEEE 1588-capable RMII Ethernet interface, and hardware-accelerated cryptography (AES/SHA/ECC/RSA).
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar secure wireless MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RW612ET/A2IK | Includes full 802.15.4 radio + Thread/Zigbee MAC acceleration; identical MCU, security, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth specs. | Required for Thread Border Router or Matter Bridge roles needing native mesh networking; RW610ET/A2IK lacks 802.15.4 PHY/MAC. | Select RW612ET/A2IK when deploying Matter over Thread or requiring Zigbee-to-Matter translation in a single chip. |
| ESP32-H2 | Supports IEEE 802.15.4 + Bluetooth 5.0 LE only; no Wi-Fi; RISC-V core; lacks PSA L3 certification and hardware PUF. | Suitable for low-cost, low-power Thread end nodes or BLE sensors - not viable for Matter-over-Wi-Fi or enterprise-grade security requirements. | Choose ESP32-H2 only for cost-sensitive, non-Matter, single-radio sensor endpoints where security assurance level is below PSA L3. |
Compared with RW612ET/A2IK, RW610ET/A2IK trades 802.15.4 capability for reduced BOM cost and simplified RF validation, while maintaining full Matter-over-Wi-Fi functionality and PSA L3 security. Versus ESP32-H2, RW610ET/A2IK provides Wi-Fi 6 concurrency, higher MCU performance, and certified hardware root of trust - essential for commercial gateways.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the RW610ET/A2IK in a Matter ecosystem?
The RW610ET/A2IK serves as a Matter-over-Wi-Fi and Matter-over-Bluetooth controller, enabling direct interoperability between certified devices and major smart home platforms. It executes the Matter application layer, handles device commissioning, and manages secure local/cloud communication - all within the RW610ET/A2IK's integrated Cortex-M33 and dual-radio subsystem.
Does the RW610ET/A2IK support Thread or Zigbee networking protocols?
No, the RW610ET/A2IK does not include an 802.15.4 radio or Thread/Zigbee protocol acceleration hardware. That capability is exclusive to the RW612ET/A2IK variant. The RW610ET/A2IK supports only Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 - making it ideal for Matter deployments relying solely on those transports, not mesh networking.
What security certifications apply to the RW610ET/A2IK?
The RW610ET/A2IK is certified to PSA Level 3, SESIP Level 3, and CAVP standards. These validate its hardware root of trust, secure boot enforcement, cryptographic module integrity, and secure key management using PUF - all implemented within the RW610ET/A2IK's EdgeLock security subsystem.
Can the RW610ET/A2IK operate from a single power supply?
Yes, the RW610ET/A2IK is designed to run entirely from a single 3.3 V external supply. Its integrated buck regulators and LDOs generate all internal voltage domains, eliminating the need for multiple external power rails - a key simplification confirmed in the RW610ET/A2IK power management architecture.
What development tools are supported for the RW610ET/A2IK?
The RW610ET/A2IK is fully supported by NXP's MCUXpresso SDK toolchain, including IDE, configuration tools, and debug probes. It also integrates with Zephyr RTOS and includes FreeRTOS-based middleware layers - all validated for RW610ET/A2IK-specific peripherals like Quad FlexSPI, RMII Ethernet, and dual-radio coexistence.
