Espressif’s ESP32-C5 is Now in Mass Production

Espressif Officially Mass-Produces ESP32-C5 – The First RISC-V SoC with Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Support

Espressif Systems (SSE: 688018.SH) has officially announced the mass production of the ESP32-C5, the industry’s first RISC-V-based SoC that supports dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), Bluetooth 5 Low Energy, and IEEE 802.15.4 (for Zigbee and Thread protocols).

High Performance for Advanced Wireless Applications

The ESP32-C5 is engineered for applications that demand high-speed connectivity, low latency, and optimized power consumption. Key specifications include:

• 32-bit single-core RISC-V processor, clocked up to 240 MHz

• 384 KB on-chip SRAM and 320 KB ROM, with support for external PSRAM

• 29 programmable GPIOs, compatible with most peripherals

• High-speed interfaces: SDIO, QSPI

• Advanced security features

• Low-power CPU (LP-CPU) running up to 40 MHz, ideal for energy-sensitive tasks and always-on applications

Comprehensive Connectivity – Ready for Next-Gen IoT

In addition to dual-band Wi-Fi 6, the ESP32-C5 integrates Bluetooth 5 LE and IEEE 802.15.4, enabling seamless compatibility with modern IoT ecosystems such as Zigbee and Thread – paving the way for versatile and scalable smart device development.

Robust Development Support with ESP-IDF

The ESP32-C5 is fully supported by ESP-IDF (Espressif IoT Development Framework), a mature software platform. The upcoming ESP-IDF v5.5 will include official support for this SoC. Moreover, the ESP32-C5 can function as a connectivity co-processor through ESP-AT or ESP-Hosted solutions – accelerating development and deployment.
