Features / Specs

  • Manufacturer: Seeed Studio
  • Part Number: 113991254
  • Main Chip: Espressif ESP32-C6FH4 (RISC-V 32-bit HP Processor, Up to 160 MHz + RISC-V 32-bit LP Processor, Up to 20 MHz)
  • Antenna:
    • Onboard: Ceramic antenna (default)
    • External: Male IPEX MHF-I / U.FL Socket (Hirose U.FL-R-SMT-1) – no external antenna included
    • Selection: Onboard RF switch – drive GPIO3 low to power it (pulled high, switch off, by default), then GPIO14 low selects the onboard antenna (the default) and high selects the external antenna
  • Flash Memory: 4 MB (in-package)
  • ROM: 320 kB
  • SRAM: 512 kB HP SRAM + 16 kB LP SRAM
  • USB Interface: USB Type-C, connected directly to the ESP32-C6’s built-in USB Serial/JTAG controller (USB 2.0 full speed, 12 Mbps) – no USB-to-UART bridge chip
  • Power Input Options:
    • USB Type-C Socket: 5 VDC
    • VBUS Pin: Power input/output, connected directly to the USB Type-C VBUS line – no voltage is present on this pin when running from the battery
    • Battery Pads: 3.7 V lithium battery, soldered to the BAT pads on the back of the board (no battery connector), charged by the onboard SGM40567-4.2 charger at 120 mA – no battery voltage monitoring pin
  • Power Switching: Runs from USB (or the VBUS pin) when connected, and from the battery otherwise – a diode stops the battery feeding back out of the VBUS pin
  • 3V3 Pin (Output): Regulated 3.3 V output from the onboard SGM6029 buck regulator
  • Operating Voltage Range (Chip): 3.0 – 3.6 V (supplied at 3.3 V by the onboard regulator)
  • I/O Logic Level: 3.3 V – inputs are rated to a maximum of VDD + 0.3 V, so the pins are not 5 V tolerant
  • Standby Current (Typical): 15 μA (deep sleep)
  • Communication Interface: USB / UART
  • Programming Support: Arduino / MicroPython / CircuitPython
  • Bootloader: Hold Boot while connecting USB, or hold Boot and press Reset, to enter bootloader mode
  • Operating Temperature Range: -40 °C to +85 °C
  • Usable Peripherals (This Board): 11x programmable GPIOs on the header (all PWM-capable) + 4x on pads on the back / 1x UART + 1x LP UART / 1x I2C + 1x LP I2C / 1x SPI / 1x SDIO slave / 6x ADC channels
  • Full Chip Capabilities (Not All Exposed on This Board): 22x programmable GPIOs / 3x SPI (SPI0 and SPI1 for flash, SPI2 general-purpose) / 2x UART + 1x LP UART / 1x I2C + 1x LP I2C / 1x I2S / 1x SDIO slave / 2x TWAI / 12-bit SAR ADC, up to 7 channels / 6x LED PWM channels / MCPWM, RMT, PCNT, PARLIO, ETM, GDMA, USB Serial/JTAG, temperature sensor
  • GPIO:
    • Usable: 11x programmable GPIOs on header pins D0 – D10 (GPIO0 / GPIO1 / GPIO2 / GPIO21 / GPIO22 / GPIO23 / GPIO16 / GPIO17 / GPIO19 / GPIO20 / GPIO18), plus GPIO4 – GPIO7 on the MTMS / MTDI / MTCK / MTDO pads on the back
    • Analog: D0 – D2 (GPIO0 – GPIO2) on the header, and GPIO4 – GPIO6 on the back pads (6x ADC channels) – the chip’s 7th channel, GPIO3, powers the RF switch
    • Low Power: D0 – D2 and the back-pad GPIO4 – GPIO7 are LP GPIOs; LP UART is on MTMS (RX) / MTDI (TX) and LP I2C on MTCK (SDA) / MTDO (SCL)
    • SDIO: D10 (CMD) / D8 (CLK) / D9 / D3 / D4 / D5 (DATA0 – DATA3)
    • Strapping Pins: GPIO4 / GPIO5 (back pads) / GPIO8 (not broken out, pulled up onboard) / GPIO9 (Boot button) / GPIO15 (user LED) – none of the D0 – D10 header pins is a strapping pin
    • Used Onboard: GPIO3 (RF switch power) / GPIO14 (antenna select) / GPIO15 (user LED)
    • Series Resistor: D6 (TX) connects to the chip through a 499 Ω resistor – fine for UART, but it limits the current D6 can supply
    • Shared with USB: GPIO12 / GPIO13 (USB D- / D+) are used by the USB Type-C port and are not broken out to the header
    • Debug: Built-in USB Serial/JTAG over the USB Type-C port; JTAG pads on the back of the board (MTMS / MTDI / MTCK / MTDO), with EN / BOOT / 3V3 / GND pads beside them
  • Onboard Peripherals:
    • Buttons: Reset, Boot (GPIO9)
    • LEDs: Yellow user LED, lit when GPIO15 is driven low; red charge LED, flashing while the battery charges
  • Pin Description: Pinout diagram in the product images; full pin map in the linked Seeed wiki
  • Certifications: FCC (FCC ID Z4T-XIAOESP32C6) / CE / Japan MIC (202-JCE066)
