About the ESP32-S3-Platform PCB
ESP32-S3-Platform is an open source ESP32 PCB design by WhirlingBits, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 97.5 × 90.6 mm, with 176 components from 51 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the LTC3111EMSEPBF and CP2102N-A02-GQFN24. By type, the board carries 114 resistors, 25 capacitors, 19 diodes, 9 connectors, 3 ICs and 2 transistors.
It belongs with the power & battery, iot & wireless and dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.
From the project
ESP32-S3 Development Board with SD-Card and versatile power management 5V and up to 12V
Thanx to the buck/boost capability of the LTC3111 used the external power input voltage may supply a voltage between 3..15V.
Alternatively it is possible to use an external battery controller (e.g. Sparkfun Babysitter) which is connected on J5 whereas J5.4 (+5VD) will be the input for the controller and J5.1,2 the output.
