Note: K32W061/41 is preferred for any new Zigbee®, Thread and Bluetooth® LE 5.0 design. No new software releases planned

The KW40Z is a highly-integrated single-chip device that enables Bluetooth® Smart/Bluetooth® Low Energy v4.1 and IEEE® 802.15.4-2011 RF connectivity for portable, extremely low-power embedded systems. Applications include portable healthcare devices, wearable sports and fitness devices, AV remote controls, computer keyboards and mice, gaming controllers, access control, security systems, smart energy and home area networks.

The KW40Z MCU integrates a 2.4 GHz transceiver supporting a range of FSK/GFSK and O-QPSK modulations, an Arm® Cortex®-M0+ CPU, 160 KB Flash and 20 KB SRAM, Bluetooth Low Energy Link Layer hardware, 802.15.4 packet processor, hardware security and peripherals optimized to meet the requirements of the target applications. The KW40Z has enough on-chip memory to concurrently run both a Bluetooth Low Energy stack and an IEEE 8021.5.4 MAC/PHY for multi-mode applications.

Integrating a Bluetooth&#174; Low Energy v4.1 and IEEE&#174; 802.15.4-2006 complaint modem, it can support both standards and run in concurrent mode. The KW40Z integrates a buck-boost DC/DC converter, supporting a wide range of operating voltages from 0.9V to 4.2V, which reduces the peak current in both receive and transmit mode down to 6.2 mA. At the same time it delivers excellent link budget that 1434142687064714380101 PSP 142.2 KB None None documents None 1434142687064714380101 /docs/en/fact-sheet/KNTSKW40ZFS.pdf 142249 /docs/en/fact-sheet/KNTSKW40ZFS.pdf KNTSKW40ZFS N N 2016-10-31 Kinetis KW40Z/30Z/20Z Wireless MCUs Fact Sheet /docs/en/fact-sheet/KNTSKW40ZFS.pdf /docs/en/fact-sheet/KNTSKW40ZFS.pdf Fact Sheet N Y 736675474163315314 2022-12-07 pdf N en Jun 12, 2015 Fact Sheet t523 Fact Sheet Fact Sheet Y N Kinetis KW40Z/30Z/20Z Wireless MCUs Fact Sheet false en_US en Data Sheet Data Sheet 1 2 1.2 English A Bluetooth&#174; Low Energy and IEEE&#174; 802.15.4 System on a Chip (SoC) Supports the following: MKW40Z160VHT4, MKW30Z160VHM4,&#13;&#10;MKW20Z160VHT4 1444708580516733306654 PSP 960.2 KB None None documents None 1444708580516733306654 /docs/en/data-sheet/MKW40Z160.pdf 960154 /docs/en/data-sheet/MKW40Z160.pdf MKW40Z160 documents N N 2018-05-01 MKW40Z/30Z/20Z Data Sheet /docs/en/data-sheet/MKW40Z160.pdf /docs/en/data-sheet/MKW40Z160.pdf Data Sheet N 980000996212993340 2022-12-07 pdf N en May 1, 2018 980000996212993340 Data Sheet Y N MKW40Z/30Z/20Z Data Sheet Reference Manual Reference Manual 2 3 1.4.1 English Bluetooth Low Energy and IEEE 802.15.4 System on a Chip (SoC)&#13;&#10;Reference Manual 1444709099388721128789 PSP 8.8 MB Registration without Disclaimer None documents Extended 1444709099388721128789 /secured/assets/documents/en/reference-manual/MKW40Z160RM.pdf 8801591 /secured/assets/documents/en/reference-manual/MKW40Z160RM.pdf MKW40Z160RM documents Y N 2018-05-01 MKW40Z/30Z/20Z Reference Manual /webapp/Download?colCode=MKW40Z160RM /secured/assets/documents/en/reference-manual/MKW40Z160RM.pdf Reference Manual N 500633505221135046 2023-06-18 pdf Y en Sep 28, 2022 500633505221135046 Reference Manual Y N MKW40Z/30Z/20Z Reference Manual 4 0 English This document provides a detailed description of the KW40 ZumoBot Application Programming Interface (API) on top of the NXP BLE stack. 1444078183017738125420 PSP 346.6 KB Registration without Disclaimer None documents Extended 1444078183017738125420 /secured/assets/documents/en/reference-manual/KW40ZBAPIRM.pdf 346602 /secured/assets/documents/en/reference-manual/KW40ZBAPIRM.pdf KW40ZBAPIRM documents Y N 2016-10-31 KW40 ZumoBot API Reference Manual /webapp/Download?colCode=KW40ZBAPIRM /secured/assets/documents/en/reference-manual/KW40ZBAPIRM.pdf Reference Manual N 500633505221135046 2023-06-18 pdf Y en Oct 12, 2015 500633505221135046 Reference Manual Y N KW40 ZumoBot API Reference Manual Application Note Application Note 9 5 4 Y Chinese This application note lists board layout and antenna basics to aid in selecting the correct antenna type for your applicatio and avoid the typical layout mistakes.
