ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N8R8
Overview
The ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N8R8 is a high-performance Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 LE module powered by the Xtensa dual-core 32-bit LX7 microprocessor running up to 240 MHz. This specific variant features 8MB of Flash, 8MB of PSRAM, and a U.FL connector for an external antenna, making it suitable for compact enclosures where an internal PCB antenna would be shielded.
Why Choose This Part
This module provides a significant memory headroom with 8MB of both Flash and SRAM, enabling complex firmware and buffering for multimedia applications. The inclusion of a dedicated U.FL connector ensures flexible antenna placement, while the dual-core architecture allows for efficient multitasking between wireless stacks and application logic.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Developers can use the Espressif IoT Development Framework (ESP-IDF) or the Arduino core for ESP32. The module supports flashing and debugging via its integrated USB Serial/JTAG controller, requiring only a simple USB connection to a host PC. Ensure the supply voltage is stable between 3V and 3.6V, as Wi-Fi TX bursts can draw up to 355mA.
Dev Boards
Development boards and breakout modules featuring the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N8R8 or compatible chips — ready to use for prototyping.
