The Espressif ESP32-C5-WROOM-1-N16R8 is a high-performance, dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and multiprotocol IoT module that integrates advanced wireless capabilities with efficient power management. Built around the ESP32-C5 SoC, it features a dual RISC-V architecture comprising a 240 MHz high-performance core and a 40 MHz low-power core for energy-efficient multitasking. The module includes 16 MB of SPI flash and 8 MB of PSRAM, with dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 and 5 GHz), Bluetooth 5 (LE) with Direction Finding, and IEEE 802.15.4 for Zigbee 3.0 and Thread 1.3. Operating from –40 °C to +85 °C, it provides robust security features, up to 29 GPIOs, and rich peripheral interfaces including SPI, UART, I²C, I²S, RMT, ADC, and PWM. With its on-board PCB antenna and strong wireless coexistence, the ESP32-C5-WROOM-1-N16R8 is ideal for smart home, industrial, and connected device applications requiring reliable, low-latency communication and multi-protocol flexibility.
