TinyPICO NANO is the world’s smallest, fully-featured ESP32 microcontroller module - just drop it on your PCB and focus on your features!
THIS IS THE TINYPICO NANO
Don’t be fooled by its size, TinyPICO NANO is a complete drop in microcontroller module - BYO USB connector!
THE SPECS
No compromises! The module packs a massive 700mA 3.3V regulator, on-board battery management, 4MB of extra PSRAM and 27 GPIO!
TinyPICO NANO is tuned for ultra low current use, dropping below 20uA when in deepsleep.
the pinout
We’ve broken out everything we could, including 6 of the Input only pins that are on ADC 1. We’ve even included an ENable pin to allow you to shut down the 3.3V LDO powering the ESP32 (enabled by default) and a STAT pin to connect the cathode of an external LED to for the battery charge state. LED anode connects to 5V.
IT REALLY REALLY IS SMALL
At only 13x27mm
TinyPICO NANO is the worlds smallest, fully featured ESP32 microcontroller board in a module format
All you need to add is a USB connector of your choice, if you need one!
WHAT’s it got?
Almost all of the goodies you know and love from the TinyPICO are here.
You’ll need to use paste & reflow/hot-air to solder the TinyPICO NANO to your PCB.
TinyPICO NANO is reflowed with SAC305.
Flashing firmware onto your nano
TinyPICO NANO is just like the regular TinyPICO. You can use the Arduino IDE, MicroPython or the IDF to develop firmware for it. The only thing you’ll need to get going is to add your own USB connector to your carrier PCB (the PCB that you will solder your TinyPICO Nano onto) and connect the VBUS (5V), GND, D+ and D- pins of the USB to the matching pins on the TinyPICO Nano.
Optimised Power Paths & Deep Sleep Current
TinyPICO NANO has been designed with two isolated power paths: a 5 V path and a 3.3 V path. Any components that are not needed for operation via battery or via the 3.3 V power pin are isolated within the 5 V power path, and are totally shut down when no USB cable is plugged in.
In-fact, even the power LED is shutdown when no 5 V power source is present.
Deep sleep has been optimised for all development platforms, and though we have seen it go as low as 10 uA, our official current rating in deep sleep is 18 uA.
FOOTPRINTS & SCHEMATIC
We have a 3D model and few ECAD footprints available for the TinyPICO NANO. If you are using an ECAD package not covered in the link, let us know and we’ll see what we can do for you!
The schematic is also available in PDF format in the repo and here is a direct link:
CERTIFICATION
TinyPICO NANO ships uncertified. If you use a TinyPICO NANO on a project that requires certification, you’ll be required to also certify the WiFi and Bluetooth radios.
