Automotive and Industrial Qualified Bluetooth Low Energy Wireless MCUs Kinetis(R) KW36A/35A, KW36Z/35Z Bluetooth(R) 5 Wireless MCUs with Integrated CAN/CAN FD and LIN Bus The Kinetis KW36A/35A and KW36Z/35Z wireless MCUs feature AEC Q100 Grade 2 or industrial qualification and the latest Bluetooth technology for superior durability and performance in automotive, industrial and healthcare applications. OVERVIEW Based on the Arm(R) Cortex(R)-M0+ core, the Kinetis KW36A/35A and KW36Z/35Z wireless MCUs integrates a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) version 5 and Generic FSK radio. The radio supports up to 8 simultaneous secure connections in any master/slave combination allowing multiple authorized users to communicate with the device. Additionally, the Kinetis KW36 MCU exclusively integrates FlexCAN, enabling seamless integration into a cars in-vehicle or industrial CAN communication network. The FlexCAN module can support CAN's flexible data-rate (CAN FD) for increased bandwidth and lower latency.

At the same time, this family delivers an excellent link budget that ensures the longest range of communication and a high immunity to interference. KINETIS KW36A/35A AND KW36Z/35Z WIRELESS MCU FAMILY FEATURES AND BENEFITS Features Benefits Supports simultaneous secure connections in any master/slave combination BLE 5 with 8 simultaneous connections Keeps all connections alive for continuous monitoring 6.3 mA typical Rx and 5.7 mA Tx current with DC-DC activated Significantly reduces power consumption and extends battery life -95 dBm typical BLE sensitivity High link budget improves range and lowers cost by reducing the need for external power amplifiers -99 dBm typical generic FSK (at 250 kbit/s) sensitivity This family has up to 512 KB Flash memory with ECC and 64 KB SRAM allowing plenty of space for protocol stacks, application profiles and custom user firmware. In addition, the radio can provide the necessary information in order to calculate Time-of-Flight (ToF), Angleof-Arrival (AoA) and Angle-of-Departure (AoD) that can accurately estimate the distance/angle of a remote BLE device to determine its position. +3.5 dBm maximum output power Integrated balun enables smaller design and reduces system costs Excellent selectivity and blocking Significantly improves operation in harsh 2.4 GHz environments For automotive applications, Kinetis KW36A/35A devices are AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified and are provided in a 6 mm x 6 mm QFN package with "wettable" flanks package technology that enables optical inspection of the soldering, reducing cost and increasing reliability. CAN/CAN FD and LIN Bus ENABLEMENT Take advantage of the robust enablement package that includes the fully certified BLE 5 host and controller stacks, BLE application profiles in source, generic FSK software protocol, RTOS, development tools and IDEs. These tools are designed for use with Kinetis KW36A/35A and KW36Z/35Z MCUs and are fully integrated in the MCUXpresso software and tools. 48 MHz Arm Cortex -M0+ core (R) (R) High-performance, low-power core with adequate memory to run BLE, generic FSK protocol stacks and application Up to 512 KB flash memory with ECC 64 KB SRAM Fast encryption/decryption utilizing hardware security algorithms for network commissioning and transmissions of supported protocols AES-128 accelerator True random number generator Buck DC-DC converter working from 2.1 V to 3.6 V Supports a wide range of batteries from coin-cell to Lithium-ion 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) Supports high-performance on-chip analog at the MCU level for sensor aggregation and other sophisticated applications 6-bit high-speed analog comparator (CMP) Enables easy integration into automotive in-vehicle and industrial networks Smaller size and low component count reduces cost.
