1.1 Introduction
The K32W061 and K32W041 (called K32W061/41 throughout this document) are
ultra-low power, high performance Arm
®
Cortex
®
-M4 based wireless microcontrollers
supporting Zigbee 3.0, Thread and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 networking stacks to
facilitate home and building automation, smart lighting, smart locks and sensor network
applications.
The K32W061/41 includes a 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 and a Bluetooth Low Energy
compliant transceivers and a comprehensive mix of analog and digital peripherals.
Ultra-low current consumption in radio receive and radio transmit modes allows use of
coin cell batteries.
K32W061/041 has 640 KB embedded Flash, 152 KB RAM and 128 KB ROM memory.
The embedded flash can support Over The Air (OTA) code download to applications. The
devices include 10-channel PWM, two timers, one RTC/alarm timer, a Windowed
Watchdog Timer (WWDT), two USARTs, two SPI interfaces, two I
2
C interfaces, a DMIC
subsystem with dual-channel PDM microphone interface with voice activity detector, one
12-bit ADC, temperature sensor and comparator.
The K32W061 variant has an internal NTAG I
2
C plus NFC tag and connections for the
external NFC antenna. The tag is an NXP device NT3H2211.
The Arm Cortex-M4 is a 32-bit core that offers system enhancements such as low-power
consumption and enhanced debug features. The Arm Cortex-M4 CPU, operating at up to
48 MHz, incorporates a 3-stage pipeline, uses a Harvard architecture with separate local
instruction and data buses as well as a third bus for peripherals, and includes an internal
prefetch unit that supports speculative branching. The Arm Cortex-M4 supports
single-cycle digital signal processing and SIMD instructions. Debug is supported using the
Serial Wire Debug.
Refer to the data sheet for complete details on specific products and configurations.
