Overview

The ESP32-PICO-V3 is a System-in-Package (SiP) module that integrates the ESP32 dual-core 32-bit LX6 microprocessor, 4MB of flash memory, and crystal oscillator into a compact 7x7mm TFQFN package. It provides a complete Wi-Fi and Bluetooth solution, featuring an I-PEX connector for external antenna flexibility and a high-performance clock speed of up to 240MHz.

Why Choose This Part

The SiP design significantly reduces PCB footprint and external component count by integrating the flash and oscillator directly into the package. It offers robust RF performance with a 20.5dBm output power and -97dBm sensitivity, combined with extensive peripheral support including JTAG and TWAI.

Applications

Smart Home Hubs
Managing local mesh networks and cloud connectivity for home automation systems using concurrent Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE.
Industrial IoT Gateways
Serving as a communication bridge between industrial sensors and backend servers using interfaces like SPI, UART, and I2C.
Wearable Health Monitors
Leveraging deep-sleep modes as low as 10uA and integrated Bluetooth 4.2 for efficient sensor data logging and transmission.
