Mouser Electronics, the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is now shipping the new ESP32-C61 Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth 5 (LE) System-on-Chip (SoC) from Espressif Systems. The ESP32-C61 SoC is designed for IoT, smart home, industrial, robotics, sensor, and medical device applications.
The Espressif Systems ESP32-C61 SoC, available from Mouser, features optimized peripherals and improved connectivity, powered by a 32-bit RISC-V processor running at up to 160 MHz, including external PSRAM support. This enables developers to build feature-rich applications, allowing for larger data buffers, additional functionality, and future upgrades with less time spent on memory optimization. The ESP32-C61 supports a 20MHz bandwidth for 802.11ax mode and a 20MHz/40MHz bandwidth for 802.11b/g/n mode, featuring characteristics, such as OFDMA and MU-MIMO for reliable and low-latency connections, as well asl target wake time (TWT) for ultra-low power applications. Additionally, the ESP32-C61 chip incorporates a robust set of peripherals, including SPI, I2C, UART, I2S, ADC, GDMA, ETM, and an analog comparator. The Bluetooth 5 (LE) radio enables long-range operation via advertisement extension and a coded PHY, while supporting a high-throughput PHY of 2 Mbps. The ESP32-C61 also supports the BLE Mesh 1.1 protocol, ESP-IDF, and the ESP-Matter SDK, or can operate as a wireless co-processor through ESP-AT or ESP-Hosted, facilitating seamless integration into various system architectures.
The ESP32-C61 features secure boot, flash, and PSRAM encryption with cryptographic accelerators and has an ECDSA-based digital signature peripheral (DSP) in hardware, thus safeguarding private keys from software access. The addition of a trusted execution environment (TEE), utilizing access permission management (APM), a hardware block, and physical memory protection (PMP), provides mechanisms for software isolation.
