Detailed product information

Tri-Radio Wireless MCU (Wi-Fi 6 + BLE 5.4 + IEEE 802.15.4)

The RW612 is a highly integrated wireless MCU with an Arm® Cortex®-M33 and three radios on one chip: Wi-Fi 6 (2.4/5 GHz), Bluetooth® Low Energy 5.4, and IEEE 802.15.4 (for Thread/Zigbee). It’s ideal for Matter devices as well as smart sensor/actuator nodes, hubs, and gateways. Hardware security, rich peripherals, and a compact power concept accelerate the development of energy-efficient connected products.

Key features

  • MCU & memory: Cortex-M33 up to 260 MHz, ample SRAM, XIP support for external Flash/PSRAM

  • Radios: Wi-Fi 6 (TWT, WPA3, etc.), BLE 5.4 (2M, Long Range), 802.15.4 for Thread/Zigbee

  • Security: Secure boot/debug/update, hardware crypto, PUF-based keys, production-grade protection

  • Interfaces: USB HS OTG, SDIO, Ethernet RMII, I²C/SPI/UART, I²S/PCM, ADC/DAC, PWM/Timers, LCD interface

  • Design friendly: single-supply concept, reference designs, compact package options

Typical applications

  • Smart home & building: Matter controller, Thread border router, smart locks, thermostats

  • Industrial & building automation: sensor/actuator nodes, controllers, gateways

  • Smart energy & appliances: connected meters, home appliances, sub-metering

  • Camera/audio peripherals: Wi-Fi cameras, doorbells, intercoms
