The KW40Z/30Z/20Z (called KW40Z throughout this document) is an ultra low-power,highly integrated single-chip device that enables Bluetooth low energy (BLE) or IEEEStandard 802.15.4 RF connectivity for portable, extremely low-power embedded systems. Applications include portable health care 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 SoC integrates a radio transceiver operating in the 2.36 GHz to 2.48 GHz range supporting a range of FSK/GFSK and O-QPSK modulations, an ARM Cortex-M0+CPU, 160 KB Flash and 20 KB SRAM, BLE Link Layer hardware, 802.15.4 packet processor hardware and peripherals optimized to meet the requirements of the target applications.

The KW40Z SoC’s radio frequency transceiver is compliant with Bluetooth version 4.1 for Low Energy (aka Bluetooth Smart), and the IEEE standard 802.15.4-2011 using OQPSKin the 2.4 GHz ISM band.

The KW40Z SoC can be used in applications as a "BlackBox" modem by simply adding BLE or IEEE Std. 802.15.4 connectivity to an existing embedded controller system, or used as a stand-alone smart wireless sensor with embedded application where no host controller is required.

Freescale provides fully certified protocol stacks and application profiles to support KW40Z. The KW40Z Flash and SRAM memory are available for applications and communication protocols using a choice of Freescale or 3rd party software development tools.

The RF section of the KW40Z SoC is optimized to require very few externalcomponents, achieving the smallest RF footprint possible on a printed circuit board.

Extremely long battery life is achieved though efficiency of code execution in the Cortex-M0+ CPU core and the multiple low power operating modes of the KW40Z SoC. Additionally, an integrated DC-DC converter enables a wide operating range from 0.9 V to 4.2 V. The DC-DC in Buck mode enables KW40Z to operate from a single coin cell battery with a significant reduction of peak Rx and Tx current consumption. The DC-DC in boost mode enables a single alkaline battery to be used throughout its entire useful voltage range of 0.9 V to 1.795 V.
