On Sep 25, 2018, NXP launched KW36/35 product family in its Kinetis W series. Based on the Arm
Cortex-M0+ core, the Kinetis KW36/35 wireless MCUs integrates a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5 and Generic FSK radio. The KW36 MCU exclusively integrates Flex CAN FD and LIN for an easy integration into automotive in-vehicle communication networks. Additionally, 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.
