NXP launched a new Zigbee and Thread MCU: JN5189/88 on Feb 25, 2020
The JN5189/88 portfolio is designed to power the next generation of very low current wireless devices, supporting Zigbee 3.0, Thread, and IEEE 802.15.4. It includes several low-power modes and ultra-low TX and RX power consumption, which enables devices powered by JN5189/88 to have a longer battery life. With -100 dBm RX sensitivity and up to +11 dBm TX output power, JN5189/88 offers reliable and robust communications performance. JN5189/88 is powered by an Arm
Cortex-M4 MCU and can run up to 640KB on-board flash and 152 KB SRAM, with enough room and flexibility for complex applications and Over-the-Air (OTA) upgrade capability without external memory. JN5189T/88T has an integrated NFC NTAG to implement contactless NFC commissioning, simplifying the network build-out while saving energy and increasing security. In addition, it has a rich set of MCU peripherals and multiple serial communication interfaces for embedded connected applications with the quad serial flash memory controller, SPIFI, which can be used to extend non-volatile memory for data storage.

Target Applications
The application space addressed by JN Series is always expanding and filled with innovation. Clearly, anywhere that previous JN5169/68 series devices fit, will be a target area, but be aware of innovation around the application space, especially with the new low power and peripheral capabilities (DMIC), we could be making new spaces with the JN5189/88. Here listed is the focus areas.
- Home automation
- Home security & access
- Smart lighting
- Smart metering
- Sensor networks
