Overview

The ESP32-C6-WROOM-1-N8 is a highly integrated multiprotocol module featuring a 32-bit RISC-V single-core processor running at up to 160 MHz. It provides comprehensive wireless connectivity including Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) in the 2.4 GHz band, Bluetooth 5 (LE), Zigbee, and Thread, making it a versatile hub for Matter-compatible ecosystems. This variant is equipped with 8 MB of Quad SPI flash and an on-board PCB trace antenna in a compact 28-SMD package.

Why Choose This Part

This module provides a future-proof path for IoT development by supporting the latest Wi-Fi 6 standards and 802.15.4 protocols within a single hardware footprint. The 8 MB of flash provides significant overhead for complex firmware and OTA updates, while the RISC-V architecture offers an efficient, modern execution environment.

Applications

Matter-Compatible Smart Home
Acts as a Bridge or End Device for Matter, leveraging simultaneous support for Wi-Fi, Thread, and Bluetooth LE for seamless commissioning and control.
Industrial IoT Sensors
Utilizes the RISC-V core and low-power modes to collect sensor data via I2C or SPI and transmit over long-range Zigbee or Wi-Fi networks.
Energy Management Systems
Monitors power consumption using integrated ADC and PWM peripherals while reporting data to cloud platforms over Wi-Fi 6.
Automated Lighting Controls
Uses Zigbee or Thread mesh networking to provide robust, low-latency control of lighting arrays in commercial environments.
