Overview

The ESP32-C6-WROOM-1U-N8 is a multiprotocol wireless module powered by a 32-bit RISC-V single-core processor running at up to 160 MHz. It features 8 MB of Quad SPI flash and supports a wide range of connectivity standards including Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5 (LE), Zigbee, and Thread. This specific variant includes a U.FL connector for an external antenna, making it suitable for designs requiring specialized RF enclosures.

Why Choose This Part

This module provides a unified solution for Wi-Fi 6 and 802.15.4 (Zigbee/Thread) on a single 32-bit RISC-V core, simplifying the bill of materials for multiprotocol IoT devices. It features high integration with 512 KB RAM and 8 MB flash while maintaining low power consumption, including a 1 uA shutdown mode and a 7 uA standby current.

Applications

Matter-Enabled Devices
Leverage concurrent support for Thread and Wi-Fi to build interoperable smart home ecosystems via the Matter protocol.
Industrial Sensor Nodes
Utilize the 160 MHz RISC-V core and extensive peripheral set (ADC, SPI, I2C) for local data processing and low-power mesh networking.
Energy Management Systems
Deploy in smart meters or solar inverters where Wi-Fi 6 efficiency and 802.15.4 connectivity are required for grid communication.
Low-Power Gateways
Act as a bridge between Bluetooth LE sensors and Wi-Fi networks in battery-constrained environments.

Getting Started

Develop using the Espressif IoT Development Framework (ESP-IDF) via VS Code or Eclipse plugins, or the Arduino Core for ESP32. Hardware prototyping is best started with the ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 development board to verify RF performance and peripheral interfacing before custom PCB integration.
