NXP JN5168 ZigBee Smart Home Sensors

Smart home devices become very popular in today’s security industry. Recently, ASMAG magazine published an article to declare that smart home is replacing traditional residential alarm systems. The article explains that the increased popularity of devices like smartphones and affordability are helping “connected” and “smart home” security devices replace traditional residential security.

NXP, the global leading semiconductors company introduced JN5168 core processor smart home solution. NXP JN5168 is a ultra low power high performance wireless microcontroller, supports multiple wireless protocols including JenNet-IP, ZigBee Smart Energy, ZigBee Light Link, RF4C and IEEE802.15.4, suitable for developing Smart Energy, Home Automation, Smart Lighting, Remote Controlling and Wireless Sensing applications. This chip is a enhanced 32bit RISC processor, included 256 kB DDR, 32 kB RAM and 4 kB EEPROM.
