Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C5 – Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Power in a Thumb-Sized Module
The Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C5 is the first XIAO board to bring true 5 GHz Wi-Fi 6 into an ultra-compact form factor. Designed for modern IoT and edge applications, it delivers faster speeds, cleaner spectrum access, and rock-solid connectivity while maintaining full compatibility with the crowded 2.4 GHz band.
Despite its tiny size, this board packs serious performance. Powered by a high-speed 32-bit RISC-V processor running up to 240 MHz, it handles complex protocols, multitasking, and scalable applications with ease. With 8 MB Flash, 8 MB PSRAM, and ample on-chip memory, you get the flexibility needed for everything from smart home devices to secure edge computing.
Built for the Connected World
The XIAO ESP32-C5 supports a wide range of wireless standards, including dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth® 5 LE, Zigbee, and Thread (802.15.4). This makes it an excellent choice for projects using Matter, HomeKit, MQTT, and other modern IoT ecosystems—all from a single, compact board.
Security You Can Trust
Security is built into the hardware. Features like secure boot, flash encryption, and hardware cryptographic acceleration help protect your firmware and data, making this board suitable for production-grade and security-sensitive applications.
Optimized for Low-Power Designs
With an integrated battery management interface and ultra-low-power sleep modes, the XIAO ESP32-C5 is ideal for battery-powered devices. Deep-sleep current can go as low as 15 µA, enabling long-term operation for sensors, trackers, and remote IoT nodes.
From Prototype to Mass Production
All XIAO boards use a production-ready SMD design with stamp holes, making them easy to integrate directly into custom PCBs. With Seeed Fusion PCBA support, you can scale your design faster and at lower cost, supported by professional DFM guidance—perfect for startups and commercial products.
