NXP Semiconductors MCX N94x/N54x MCUs

MCX N Series are high-performance, low-power microcontrollers with intelligent peripherals and accelerators providing multi-tasking capabilities and performance efficiency. Select MCX N families include NXP’s eIQ® Neutron neural processing unit (NPU) for machine learning applications.  These secure MCUs include our EdgeLock^® Secure Enclave, Core Profile offering a secure-by-design approach, secure boot with an immutable root-of-trust and hardware-accelerated cryptography.  The first families to launch within the MCX N series are the MCXN94x family and the MCXN54x family.  Details on products within those families are detailed below.
