ESP32-S3 Camera Module 16MB Flash & 8MB PSRAM N16R8

ESP32-S3 CAMERA Module 16MB Flash & 8MB PSRAM N16R8

This ESP32-S3 N16R8 Camera module is equipped with an OV5640 camera and offers 16MB external flash and 8MB PSRAM. The powerful development board runs on an Xtensa LX7 32-bit dual-core processor up to 240 MHz, with 384 KB ROM and 512 KB onboard SRAM. This makes the module suitable for demanding Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

Performance and applications

The ESP32-S3 N16R8 Camera module delivers better performance than traditional ESP32-CAM modules thanks to the larger flash memory and PSRAM. The combination of WiFi and Bluetooth makes the board highly suitable for IoT projects with wireless communication.

In addition, the board supports multiple power-saving modes, including an ultra-low-power coprocessor (ULP), making it ideal for low-power applications.
