ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1-N8R8

Overview

The ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1-N8R8 is a high-performance development board featuring a dual-core Xtensa processor running up to 240MHz with integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 (BLE) connectivity. This specific variant is equipped with 8MB of Quad SPI flash and 8MB of Octal SPI PSRAM, providing ample headroom for memory-intensive applications. It breaks out 45 GPIO pins and includes a built-in USB OTG interface for versatile peripheral connectivity.

Why Choose This Part

This board provides a significant memory boost with 8MB of Octal SPI PSRAM, which is essential for handling large data buffers or high-resolution display assets. The ESP32-S3 silicon includes dedicated vector instructions that accelerate AI workloads compared to standard general-purpose microcontrollers. With 45 available GPIOs and dual-core processing, it allows for complex multitasking without sacrificing real-time performance.

Applications

Getting Started

Engineers can develop for this board using the official ESP-IDF (Espressif IoT Development Framework) or the Arduino IDE with the ESP32 board support package. Connection is made via the dual USB-C ports for power and programming, and the breadboard-friendly header layout allows for rapid prototyping with external sensors. Extensive documentation and libraries are available for its Wi-Fi, BLE, and advanced hardware acceleration features.
