Difference between ESP32-WROVER and ESP32-WROVER-B

Postby prdinesh » Tue Dec 18, 2018 6:41 pm

What is the difference between ESP32-WROVER and ESP32-WROVER-B modules?

Does ESP32-WROVER-B has more PSRAM than ESP32-WROVER?

Hi,

They both have 8 MB PSRAM. ESP32-WROVER has PSRAM that operates at 1.8 V and can support up to 144 MHz clock rate.
ESP32-WROVER-B has PSRAM that operates at 3.3 V and can support up to 133 MHz clock rate. ESP32-WROVER-B is also available with custom flash sizes of 8 MB or 16 MB. More variants can be found here: https://www.espressif.com/sites/default ... ion_en.pdf.

Thanks.

Note that for ESP32 use, the maximum clock rate does not really matter as the ESP32 does not interface with external memories at speeds over 80MHz.

I'm not sure if this is always true. For example, I have an ESP-WROVER-KIT V3 with an ESP32-WROVER module that only appears to have 4MB of PSRAM. I also have an ESP-DevKitC V4 with an ESP32-WROVER-B module which has 8MB of PSRAM.

In menuconfig "Component config > ESP32-specific > SPI RAM config > Type of SPI RAM chip in use" there are three options:
- (X) Auto-detect-
- ( ) ESP-PSRAM32 or IS25WP032
- ( ) ESP-PSRAM64 or LY68L6400

The fact that there are options for 4 MB (ESP-PSRAM32) and 8 MB (ESP-PSRAM64) indicates to me that there are modules with 4 MB of PSRAM and the ESP32-WROVER on my ESP-WROVER-KIT V3 appears to be one of these modules.

Hi,

ESP32-WROVER module integrated 4 MB of PSRAM before. It was about in June that 4 MB PSRAM was replaced with 8 MB version. I believe there are still previous versions of dev boards with 4 MB PSRAM module out there.
