Switch Science Launches "ESPr® Developer C5" Development Board Equipped with 5GHz/Wi-Fi 6 Compatible ESP32-C5

Switch Science Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Switch Science", Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Shigeru Kanemoto) has launched the "ESPr® Developer C5" development board, equipped with Espressif's "ESP32-C5-WROOM-1" which supports 5GHz/Wi-Fi 6. The "ESPr® Developer C5" is a development board equipped with a 32-bit RISC-V single-core processor operating at 240 MHz, 16 MB of flash ROM, and 8 MB of PSRAM, supporting Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth® 5 LE, Zigbee, and Thread. With the smart home standard "Matter" gaining traction, the industry's long-awaited support for the 5 GHz band Wi-Fi enables more stable and high-speed communication, avoiding interference with the saturated 2.4 GHz band in homes and with other wireless devices such as microwaves. The "ESPr® Developer C5" features a 3.3V regulator, various switches, and general-purpose LEDs, in addition to Qwiic/STEMMA QT connectors for sensor connections without soldering. It is ideal for rapid prototyping of smart home hubs and edge devices. The ESP32-C5-WROOM-1 integrates a low-power 32-bit RISC-V processor operating at up to 48 MHz. It can continue to operate even during sleep mode, achieving extremely high power efficiency for applications requiring continuous operation.
