product data sheet
1. General description
The JN5189 and JN5189T (called JN5189 throughout this document) are ultra-low power,
high performance Arm
®
Cortex
®
-M4 based wireless microcontrollers supporting
Zigbee 3.0 and Thread networking stacks to facilitate the development of Home
Automation, Smart Lighting and wireless sensor network applications.
The JN5189 includes a 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 compliant transceiver and a
comprehensive mix of analog and digital peripherals. Ultra-low current consumption in
both radio receive and transmit modes and also in the power down modes allow use of
coin cell batteries.
The product has 640 KB embedded Flash and 152 KB RAM memory. The embedded
flash can support Over The Air (OTA) code download to applications. The devices include
10-channel PWM, two timers, one RTC/alarm timer, a Windowed Watchdog Timer
(WWDT), two USARTs, two SPI interfaces, two I
2
C interfaces, a DMIC subsystem with
dual-channel PDM microphone interface with voice activity detector, one 12-bit ADC,
temperature sensor and comparator.
The JN5189T variant has an internal NFC tag and with connections to the external NFC
antenna.
The JN5188 variant has the same functionality as the JN5189 except for reduced memory
sizes of 320 KB embedded Flash, 88 KB RAM. The JN5188T variant has the functionality
of the JN5188 with the addition of an embedded NFC tag.
The Arm Cortex-M4 is a 32-bit core that offers system enhancements such as low power
consumption, enhanced debug features, and a high level support of the block integration.
The Arm Cortex-M4 CPU, operates at up to 48 MHz.
