Product details

Multi-protocol wireless MCU for IoT edge nodes

The ESP32-C6 is a 2.4 GHz transceiver IC from Espressif Systems supporting Bluetooth v5.0, Thread, and Zigbee concurrently — a single-chip radio for Matter-compliant smart home, building automation, and industrial sensor networks.

Transmit power and receiver sensitivity

The 21 dBm output power provides link margin for walls and metal enclosures in 2.4 GHz deployments; the -106 dBm sensitivity maintains connection at the edge of range. Current consumption spans 71 mA to 82 mA in receive and 82 mA to 354 mA in transmit — the upper end reflects the 21 dBm PA stage, so the supply rail and thermal pad must be sized for the peak draw.

Modulation includes QAM, CCK, DSSS, OFDM, and O-QPSK — the OFDM mode is used for Thread and Zigbee, while DSSS/CCK serve legacy Bluetooth.

Frequently asked questions

Does the ESP32-C6 support Zigbee and Thread?

Yes. The ESP32-C6 supports Bluetooth v5.0, Thread, and Zigbee concurrently, making it suitable for Matter-over-Thread and Zigbee 3.0 end devices.

Is the ESP32-C6 a replacement for the ESP32-C3?

The ESP32-C6 adds Thread and Zigbee support that the ESP32-C3 lacks, and operates over the same 2.4 GHz band. Pin compatibility depends on the specific package variant — confirm the footprint against your layout before substituting.

What is the ESP32-C6's GPIO count?

The ESP32-C6 provides 30 GPIO pins, sufficient for interfacing with multiple sensors, actuators, and display modules in a typical IoT edge node.

How can I request a quote for the ESP32-C6?

Submit an RFQ with your target quantity and preferred packaging (Tape & Reel or Cut Tape). Current pricing and lead time are confirmed at quote time against the BOM line.
