M5Stack M5Stamp-S3A ESP32S3 Module

Description

Stamp-S3A Module is a highly integrated embedded module based on the Espressif ESP32-S3FN8. It combines a 240MHz Xtensa 32-bit LX7 dual-core processor, 8MB Flash, a programmable RGB LED, a user button, and an optimized 2.4GHz 3D antenna for compact IoT and embedded control designs.

The module breaks out 23 GPIOs through 1.27mm and 2.54mm pitch options, supporting SMT, DIP, fly-wire, socket, and Unit-style integration. With rich interfaces such as touch sensor, SPI, UART, I2C, I2S, GPIO, pulse counter, PWM, SDIO, and SD/MMC host control, the Stamp-S3A Module gives developers a flexible core for smart devices and industrial terminals.

For smart home products, intelligent IoT devices, wearable electronics, and compact control panels, the Stamp-S3A Module provides a small footprint, strong wireless performance, and development support for Arduino IDE, UiFlow2, ESP-IDF, and PlatformIO.

Notes

ESP32-S3 pins G0 and G46 are strapping pins that determine boot mode. By default, G0 is pulled up and G46 is internally pulled down so the chip can boot from SPI Flash. Do not pull G46 high before boot, or the chip may not start correctly.
