Built around Espressif's 96 MHz 32-bit RISC-V ESP32-H2FH2/FH4 SoC (2 MB or 4 MB stacked Quad SPI flash) and a 32 MHz crystal, the ESP32-H2-WROOM-02C packages ultra-low-power Bluetooth 5.3 LE and IEEE 802.15.4 (Thread, Zigbee, Matter — no Wi-Fi) connectivity into an 18.0×20.0 mm 3-sided 1.27 mm-pitch castellated footprint. All 19 bonded ESP32-H2 GPIOs (IO0–IO5, IO8–IO14, IO22–IO27) plus the dedicated VBAT domain pin are exposed, supporting 2× UART, SPI2, 2× I2C, I2S0, TWAI (CAN), LEDC, MCPWM, and native USB Serial/JTAG on IO26/IO27. Five 12-bit SAR ADC1 inputs cover IO1–IO5 alongside zero-cross detection on IO10/IO11. All pads are strictly 3.3 V non-5V-tolerant, and IO8/IO9/IO25 strapping rules apply.
Quad SPI XIP flash is integrated inside the QFN-32 SiP package under the RF shield.
Drives the BLE 5.3 and IEEE 802.15.4 2.4 GHz radio (no Wi-Fi transceiver on ESP32-H2).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3V3 | power | 3V3 |
[CAUTION] 3.0V–3.6V supply only (decouple with 10 µF + 0.1 µF near Pin 1)
Exceeding 3.6V permanently damages the ESP32-H2 silicon.
