Choose Your Packaging
The same XIAO ESP32-C5 hardware is available in three packaging options. This page is the Tape & Reel option for production integration. Confirm the ordering unit, quantity per reel, minimum order, order increments, and accessory contents before ordering.
- Single Pack: 1 board, 1 FPC antenna, and 2 pin headers for individual prototypes.
- 3-Pack: 3 boards, 3 FPC antennas, and 6 pin headers for multi-node projects.
- Tape & Reel: production packaging. Confirm the reel quantity, ordering unit, minimum order, order increments, and included accessories before ordering.
Start Building
Follow the Getting Started guide for setup and hardware resources, then check the pin-multiplexing guide for interfaces and wiring.
- First Seeed Studio XIAO with 5 GHz Wi‑Fi
Provides dual‑band Wi‑Fi 6 for cleaner spectrum access and higher throughput in 5 GHz, while maintaining 2.4 GHz compatibility.
- Comprehensive connectivity
Dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5 (LE), and IEEE 802.15.4 provide the hardware connectivity for IoT development. Matter, HomeKit, and MQTT applications require a compatible SDK, firmware, or integration; availability and setup depend on the chosen software stack.
- High‑performance core
Equipped with a 32‑bit RISC‑V single‑core processor running up to 240 MHz, the XIAO ESP32‑C5 integrates 384 KB on‑chip SRAM, 320 KB ROM, 8MB Flash, and 8MB PSRAM. This combination ensures smooth protocol handling, multitasking, and application scalability.
- Enhanced security
Secure boot, flash encryption, and hardware cryptographic accelerators to protect firmware and data integrity.
- Built‑in Battery Interface for Low‑Power Designs
Integrated battery management supports low-power designs. Typical deep-sleep current with low-power firmware is 15 µA when powered through BAT and 375 µA when powered through USB. Actual consumption depends on firmware, supply, and connected peripherals.
Unlock the Full Potential of XIAO with Add-ons
The XIAO series is powerful on its own, but it becomes unstoppable when paired with our diverse lineup of Add-on boards. Designed to bridge the gap between a raw microcontroller and a finished project, these add-ons cater to every need: from XIAO Expansion Board—which adds an OLED screen, RTC, and battery management—to specialized functional modules like Wi-Fi HaLow and LoRa (SX1262) for long-range connectivity, LED Driver Board/COB LED Driver Board for lighting applications, or ePaper Driver Boards compatible with various display sizes for ultra-low power visual interfaces. Dive into our extensive modules to discover even more ways to expand your XIAO.
We already have over 15 XIAO products based on different solutions in the XIAO family, to help you better understand the differences and choose the most suitable part for your projects, please refer to the Seeed Studio XIAO Series Page.
Starter Kit with free Course for all Electronics Neophytes and Enthusiasts
Seeed Studio has provided the Grove Starter Kit along with free and detailed courses for you quickly get started with microcontrollers and electronics, regarding all the Seeed Studio XIAO boards, promising you a great learning experience.
Not only programming but also electronics knowledge is not required, you will be taken step by step, from understanding the basic concepts to exercising the simple projects individually, finally being able to build complex, interesting, wearable projects on your own, owing a practical electronic product prototype from the course.
XIAO Debug Mate supports UART serial monitoring and power-consumption analysis with XIAO ESP32-C5. Its DAPLink/SWD chip-level debugging feature does not support the ESP32-C5 RISC-V core. See the compatibility guide before selecting a debugging setup.
Production-Ready Design with Fusion PCBA Support
All Seeed Studio XIAO dev boards feature a production-optimized SMD (Surface Mount Device) design with standardized stamp holes, making it perfect for commercial PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) integration.
With our Seeed Studio Fusion services, you can access competitive one-stop PCBA manufacturing, component sourcing, and testing, plus free DFA/DFM review to reduce manufacturing risks and accelerate the journey from prototype to production.
