Overview

The ESP32-C6-WROOM-1-N4 is a highly integrated wireless module featuring a single-core 32-bit RISC-V processor running up to 160 MHz. It provides comprehensive 2.4 GHz connectivity including Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5, Zigbee, and Thread, making it a versatile hub for Matter-compatible ecosystems. This module includes 4MB of flash and an integrated PCB trace antenna in a compact 28-SMD surface-mount package.

Why Choose This Part

It offers exceptional multi-protocol support, allowing simultaneous operation of Wi-Fi 6 and 802.15.4 radio stacks on a single chip. The transition to the RISC-V architecture provides a modern open-standard instruction set while maintaining low power consumption, reaching as low as 1 microamp in shutdown mode.

Applications

Matter-over-Wi-Fi/Thread Bridges
Acts as a border router or bridge to connect legacy Zigbee devices to modern Matter-enabled smart home networks.
Energy-Efficient Wi-Fi 6 Sensors
Utilizes 802.11ax features like Target Wake Time (TWT) to extend battery life in wireless sensor nodes.
Industrial Wireless Controllers
Employs its 23 GPIOs and hardware peripherals like UART, SPI, and CAN (TWAI) for robust industrial communication.

Getting Started

Development is primarily handled via the Espressif IoT Development Framework (ESP-IDF) or the Arduino core for ESP32. For hardware evaluation, the ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 provides a convenient USB-to-UART interface and access to all module pins. The module supports flashing and debugging over its built-in USB-serial/JTAG controller.
