NXP’s KW36/35 is an ultra-low power, highly integrated single-chip family that enables Bluetooth Low Energy version 5 and Generic FSK (at 250 kbps, 500 kbps, and 1000 kbps) connectivity for automotive, industrial, and medical embedded systems. KW36/35 integrates an Arm Cortex-M0+ CPU, up to 512 KB Flash and 64 KB SRAM, Bluetooth LE and generic FSK hardware Link Layers, and peripherals optimized to meet the requirements of the target applications. KW36/35 supports up to 8 simultaneous Bluetooth LE connections as either a master, a slave, or any combination.

The KW36Z includes an integrated FlexCAN module enabling seamless integration into an automotive or industrial CAN communication network, enabling communication with external control and sensor monitoring devices over Bluetooth LE. The FlexCAN module can support CAN’s flexible data-rate (CAN FD) protocol for increased bandwidth and lower latency.
