MKW30Z160VHM4

RF Transceiver ICS Overview

The MKW30Z160VHM4 is a System on Chip (SoC) integrating an RF transceiver and microcontroller unit (MCU). It supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) v4.1 and IEEE 802.15.4 protocols at 2.4GHz. The device features a 32-VFQFN exposed pad package with dimensions of 5x5 mm. Key electrical parameters include a sensitivity of -91dBm, output power of 5dBm, and a data rate of 1Mbps. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

RF Transceiver ICS Feature Summary

• Integrates Bluetooth Low Energy v4.1 and IEEE 802.15.4 connectivity with an embedded MCU for low-power embedded systems.
• Supports portable health care devices and wearable sports applications through extremely low-power operation.
• Combines RF transmission and reception capabilities with microcontroller functions in a single compact package.

RF Transceiver ICS Applications

• Portable health care devices
• Wearable sports and fitness devices
• Wireless headsets and speakers

RF Transceiver ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix HM4 against the official NXP datasheet to confirm package type and temperature range compatibility. Ensure the component matches the required Bluetooth v4.1 specification for the target application. Cross-reference the 32-VFQFN pinout with the design schematic to prevent interface mismatches during integration.

RF Transceiver ICS Selection Notes

Select this component when both BLE v4.1 connectivity and MCU processing are required in a single chip. Consider the 5dBm output power and -91dBm sensitivity for range requirements. Evaluate the 5x5mm QFN footprint against available PCB space constraints. Confirm that the -40°C to +85°C operating range meets environmental conditions.
