Integrating ESP32-S2FH4 (4 MB flash) or ESP32-S2FN4R2 (4 MB flash + 2 MB PSRAM) in a 15.4×20.5 mm (PCB antenna) or 15.4×15.4 mm (MINI-2U U.FL) 0.85 mm LGA package, ESP32-S2-MINI-2 exposes up to 37 GPIOs (36 on -N4R2 where Pin 26 IO26 is occupied by internal PSRAM). Pin-for-pin compatible with ESP32-S2-MINI-1.
Leave Pin 26 floating if designing for -N4R2 PSRAM compatibility.

[CAUTION] 3.0V–3.6V supply only (>=500 mA current capability + 10 µF & 0.1 µF decoupling)
Wi-Fi TX bursts draw high peak current. Exceeding 3.6V permanently damages the SoC and onboard flash.
