Product details
Overview
RW610ET/A2IY 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® LE 5.4 radios - enabling Matter-over-Wi-Fi and Matter-over-Thread gateway functionality in smart home hubs and industrial edge nodes.
For engineers reviewing the RW610ET/A2IY datasheet, RW610ET/A2IY pinout, RW610ET/A2IY application, or RW610ET/A2IY equivalent, key selection considerations include its single 3.3 V supply operation, integrated EdgeLock® security (PSA L3, SESIP L3), Wi-Fi 6 MCS9 throughput, Bluetooth LE 2 Mbps mode, and support for Thread 1.3.2 and Zigbee 3.0 protocols.
Technical Context
The RW610ET/A2IY implements a tri-radio architecture with dedicated Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth LE 5.4/802.15.4 RF subsystems sharing a unified MCU platform. It supports IEEE 1588 RMII/Fast Ethernet interface and Quad FlexSPI with on-the-fly decryption for secure XIP flash access.
Its power management includes integrated buck regulators and LDOs, independent subsystem wake-up via GPIO/IRQ/RTC, and low-leakage always-on domain. The device lacks the on-chip 802.15.4 radio present in RW612 - confirmed by NXP's official RW61XFS REV 0 fact sheet distinguishing RW610 (Wi-Fi 6 + BLE 5.4 only) from RW612 (Wi-Fi 6 + BLE 5.2 + 802.15.4).
Key Specifications

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) | Supports IEEE 802.15.4 (Thread/Zigbee) but lacks Wi-Fi 6 and integrated Ethernet RMII; uses RISC-V core at 96 MHz. | Targeted at Thread-only edge nodes; not suitable for Matter-over-Wi-Fi or wired backhaul requirements. | Select when cost-sensitive, Thread-dominant deployments outweigh need for Wi-Fi 6 throughput and Ethernet determinism. |
| RTL8720DN (Realtek) | Wi-Fi 6 + BLE 5.0 dual-radio, no 802.15.4; lacks PSA/SESIP certification and TrustZone-M isolation. | Focused on consumer Wi-Fi/BLE accessories; insufficient security assurance for healthcare or industrial use cases. | Choose for non-regulated smart accessories where PSA L3 certification and hardware root of trust are not mandated. |
Compared with ESP32-H2 and RTL8720DN, the RW610ET/A2IY uniquely combines Wi-Fi 6, BLE 5.4, PSA L3 security, and IEEE 1588 Ethernet in one die - making it the only option for certified Matter controllers requiring both wireless concurrency and deterministic wired backhaul.

FAQ
Does RW610ET/A2IY support Thread or Zigbee networking protocols?
No, RW610ET/A2IY does not include an on-chip 802.15.4 radio. Unlike the RW612, the RW610ET/A2IY integrates only Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth LE 5.4 radios. Thread and Zigbee support require external 802.15.4 transceivers or modules. This distinction is explicitly documented in NXP's RW61XFS REV 0 fact sheet under "Versions" and "Radio Subsystems".
What security certifications apply to RW610ET/A2IY?
RW610ET/A2IY is certified under PSA Level 3 and SESIP Level 3, with hardware-accelerated AES-256, SHA-2, ECC, and RSA cryptographic engines. It includes a Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) for device-unique key generation and EdgeLock® Assurance program validation - meeting IEC 62443-3-3 requirements for industrial IoT deployments.
Is RW610ET/A2IY pin-compatible with RW612?
No, RW610ET/A2IY is not pin-compatible with RW612. Although both share the same 145-pin TFBGA package footprint, their pin assignments differ significantly - particularly for RF interfaces, memory buses, and security debug signals. NXP documentation confirms separate pinout diagrams and package drawings for each part number.
What development tools support RW610ET/A2IY?
RW610ET/A2IY is supported by NXP's MCUXpresso SDK with FreeRTOS-based middleware, Zephyr RTOS integration, and MCUXpresso IDE. Hardware evaluation is enabled via the RW610-EVK evaluation kit. The SDK includes pre-validated Matter 1.3 reference implementations, Wi-Fi 6 driver stacks, and BLE 5.4 host/controller libraries - all tested against the RW610ET/A2IY silicon revision.
Can RW610ET/A2IY operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes, RW610ET/A2IY operates from a single 3.3 V external supply. Its integrated power management unit includes buck regulators and LDOs that generate all required internal voltage domains (1.1 V, 1.8 V, etc.). This eliminates the need for external PMICs or multiple supply rails - simplifying layout and reducing bill-of-materials cost in space-constrained designs.
