1. SYSTEM AND MEMORY
1. System and Memory
1.1 Introduction
The ESP32 is a dual-core system with two Harvard Architecture Xtensa LX6 CPUs. All embedded memory,
external memory and peripherals are located on the data bus and/or the instruction bus of these CPUs.
With some minor exceptions (see below), the address mapping of two CPUs is symmetric, meaning that they use
the same addresses to access the same memory. Multiple peripherals in the system can access embedded
memory via DMA.
The two CPUs are named “PRO_CPU” and “APP_CPU” (for “protocol” and “application”), however, for most
purposes the two CPUs are interchangeable.
1.2 Features
• Address Space
– Symmetric address mapping
– 4 GB (32-bit) address space for both data bus and instruction bus
– 1296 KB embedded memory address space
– 19704 KB external memory address space
– 512 KB peripheral address space
– Some embedded and external memory regions can be accessed by either data bus or instruction bus
– 328 KB DMA address space
• Embedded Memory
– 448 KB Internal ROM
– 520 KB Internal SRAM
– 8 KB RTC FAST Memory
– 8 KB RTC SLOW Memory
• External Memory
Off-chip SPI memory can be mapped into the available address space as external memory. Parts of the
embedded memory can be used as transparent cache for this external memory.
– Supports up to 16 MB off-Chip SPI Flash.
– Supports up to 8 MB off-Chip SPI SRAM.
• Peripherals
– 41 peripherals
• DMA
– 13 modules are capable of DMA operation

1.3 Functional Description
1.3.1 Address Mapping
Each of the two Harvard Architecture Xtensa LX6 CPUs has 4 GB (32-bit) address space. Address spaces are
symmetric between the two CPUs.
Addresses below 0x4000_0000 are serviced using the data bus. Addresses in the range 0x4000_0000 ~
0x4FFF_FFFF are serviced using the instruction bus. Finally, addresses over and including 0x5000_0000 are
shared by the data and instruction bus.
The data bus and instruction bus are both little-endian: for example, byte addresses 0x0, 0x1, 0x2, 0x3 access
the least significant, second least significant, second most significant, and the most significant bytes of the 32-bit
word stored at the 0x0 address, respectively. The CPU can access data bus addresses via aligned or non-aligned
byte, half-word and word read-and-write operations. The CPU can read and write data through the instruction
bus, but only in a word aligned manner; non-word-aligned access will cause a CPU exception.
Each CPU can directly access embedded memory through both the data bus and the instruction bus, external
memory which is mapped into the address space (via transparent caching & MMU), and peripherals. Table 2
illustrates address ranges that can be accessed by each CPU’s data bus and instruction bus.
Some embedded memories and some external memories can be accessed via the data bus or the instruction
bus. In these cases, the same memory is available to either of the CPUs at two address ranges.

1.3.2 Embedded Memory
The Embedded Memory consists of four segments: internal ROM (448 KB), internal SRAM (520 KB), RTC FAST
memory (8 KB) and RTC SLOW memory (8 KB).
The 448 KB internal ROM is divided into two parts: Internal ROM 0 (384 KB) and Internal ROM 1 (64 KB). The
520 KB internal SRAM is divided into three parts: Internal SRAM 0 (192 KB), Internal SRAM 1 (128 KB), and
Internal SRAM 2 (200 KB). RTC FAST Memory and RTC SLOW Memory are both implemented as SRAM.
Table 3 lists all embedded memories and their address ranges on the data and instruction buses.

1.3.2.1 Internal ROM 0
The capacity of Internal ROM 0 is 384 KB. It is accessible by both CPUs through the address range
0x4000_0000 ~ 0x4005_FFFF, which is on the instruction bus.
The address range of the first 32 KB of the ROM 0 (0x4000_0000 ~ 0x4000_7FFF) can be remapped in order to
access a part of Internal SRAM 1 that normally resides in a memory range of 0x400B_0000 ~ 0x400B_7FFF.
While remapping, the 32 KB SRAM cannot be accessed by an address range of 0x400B_0000 ~ 0x400B_7FFF
any more, but it can still be accessible through the data bus (0x3FFE_8000 ~ 0x3FFE_FFFF). This can be done
on a per-CPU basis: setting bit 0 of register DPORT_PRO_BOOT_REMAP_CTRL_REG or
DPORT_APP_BOOT_REMAP_CTRL_REG will remap SRAM for the PRO_CPU and APP_CPU,
respectively.
1.3.2.2 Internal ROM 1
The capacity of Internal ROM 1 is 64 KB. It can be read by either CPU at an address range 0x3FF9_0000 ~
0x3FF9_FFFF of the data bus.
Espressif Systems
26
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
1. SYSTEM AND MEMORY
1.3.2.3 Internal SRAM 0
The capacity of Internal SRAM 0 is 192 KB. Hardware can be configured to use the first 64 KB to cache external
memory access. When not used as cache, the first 64 KB can be read and written by either CPU at addresses
0x4007_0000 ~ 0x4007_FFFF of the instruction bus. The remaining 128 KB can always be read and written by
either CPU at addresses 0x4008_0000 ~ 0x4009_FFFF of instruction bus.
1.3.2.4 Internal SRAM 1
The capacity of Internal SRAM 1 is 128 KB. Either CPU can read and write this memory at addresses
0x3FFE_0000 ~ 0x3FFF_FFFF of the data bus, and also at addresses 0x400A_0000 ~ 0x400B_FFFF of the
instruction bus.
The address range accessed via the instruction bus is in reverse order (word-wise) compared to access via the
data bus. That is to say, address
0x3FFE_0000 and 0x400B_FFFC access the same word
0x3FFE_0004 and 0x400B_FFF8 access the same word
0x3FFE_0008 and 0x400B_FFF4 access the same word
……
0x3FFF_FFF4 and 0x400A_0008 access the same word
0x3FFF_FFF8 and 0x400A_0004 access the same word
0x3FFF_FFFC and 0x400A_0000 access the same word
The data bus and instruction bus of the CPU are still both little-endian, so the byte order of individual words is not
reversed between address spaces. For example, address
0x3FFE_0000 accesses the least significant byte in the word accessed by 0x400B_FFFC.
0x3FFE_0001 accesses the second least significant byte in the word accessed by 0x400B_FFFC.
0x3FFE_0002 accesses the second most significant byte in the word accessed by 0x400B_FFFC.
0x3FFE_0003 accesses the most significant byte in the word accessed by 0x400B_FFFC.
0x3FFE_0004 accesses the least significant byte in the word accessed by 0x400B_FFF8.
0x3FFE_0005 accesses the second least significant byte in the word accessed by 0x400B_FFF8.
0x3FFE_0006 accesses the second most significant byte in the word accessed by 0x400B_FFF8.
0x3FFE_0007 accesses the most significant byte in the word accessed by 0x400B_FFF8.
……
0x3FFF_FFF8 accesses the least significant byte in the word accessed by 0x400A_0004.
0x3FFF_FFF9 accesses the second least significant byte in the word accessed by 0x400A_0004.
0x3FFF_FFFA accesses the second most significant byte in the word accessed by 0x400A_0004.
0x3FFF_FFFB accesses the most significant byte in the word accessed by 0x400A_0004.
0x3FFF_FFFC accesses the least significant byte in the word accessed by 0x400A_0000.
0x3FFF_FFFD accesses the second most significant byte in the word accessed by 0x400A_0000.
0x3FFF_FFFE accesses the second most significant byte in the word accessed by 0x400A_0000.
0x3FFF_FFFF accesses the most significant byte in the word accessed by 0x400A_0000.
Part of this memory can be remapped onto the ROM 0 address space. See Internal Rom 0 for more
information.

1.3.2.5 Internal SRAM 2
The capacity of Internal SRAM 2 is 200 KB. It can be read and written by either CPU at addresses 0x3FFA_E000
~ 0x3FFD_FFFF on the data bus.
1.3.2.6 DMA
DMA uses the same addressing as the CPU data bus to read and write Internal SRAM 1 and Internal SRAM 2.
This means DMA uses an address range of 0x3FFE_0000 ~ 0x3FFF_FFFF to read and write Internal SRAM 1 and
an address range of 0x3FFA_E000 ~ 0x3FFD_FFFF to read and write Internal SRAM 2.
In the ESP32, 13 peripherals are equipped with DMA. Table 4 lists these peripherals.

1.3.2.7 RTC FAST Memory
RTC FAST Memory is 8 KB of SRAM. It can be read and written by PRO_CPU only at an address range of
0x3FF8_0000 ~ 0x3FF8_1FFF on the data bus or at an address range of 0x400C_0000 ~ 0x400C_1FFF on the
instruction bus. Unlike most other memory regions, RTC FAST memory cannot be accessed by the
APP_CPU.
The two address ranges of PRO_CPU access RTC FAST Memory in the same order, so, for example, addresses
0x3FF8_0000 and 0x400C_0000 access the same word. On the APP_CPU, these address ranges do not
provide access to RTC FAST Memory or any other memory location.
1.3.2.8 RTC SLOW Memory
RTC SLOW Memory is 8 KB of SRAM which can be read and written by either CPU at an address range of
0x5000_0000 ~ 0x5000_1FFF. This address range is shared by both the data bus and the instruction bus.
1.3.3 External Memory
The ESP32 can access external SPI flash and SPI SRAM as external memory. Table 5 provides a list of external
memories that can be accessed by either CPU at a range of addresses on the data and instruction buses. When
a CPU accesses external memory through the Cache and MMU, the cache will map the CPU’s address to an
external physical memory address (in the external memory’s address space), according to the MMU settings. Due
to this address mapping, the ESP32 can address up to 16 MB External Flash and 8 MB External SRAM.

1.3.4 Cache
As shown in Figure 3, each of the two CPUs in ESP32 has 32 KB of cache for accessing external storage. PRO
CPU uses bit PRO_CACHE_ENABLE in register DPORT_PRO_CAHCE_CTRL_REG to enable the Cache, while
APP CPU uses bit APP_CACHE_ENABLE in register DPORT_APP_CAHCE_CTRL_REG to enable the same
function.
Figure 3: Cache Block Diagram
ESP32 uses a two-way set-associative cache. When the Cache function is to be used either by PRO CPU or
APP CPU, bit CACHE_MUX_MODE[1:0] in register DPORT_CACHE_MUX_MODE_REG can be set to select
POOL0 or POOL1 in the Internal SRAM0 as the cache memory. When both PRO CPU and APP CPU use the
Cache function, POOL0 and POOL1 in the Internal SRAM0 will be used simultaneously as the cache memory,
while they can also be used by the instruction bus. This is depicted in table 6 below.

ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
1. SYSTEM AND MEMORY
As described in table 6, when bit CACHE_MUX_MODE is set to 1 or 2, PRO CPU and APP CPU cannot enable
the Cache function at the same time. When the Cache function is enabled, POOL0 or POOL1 can only be used
as the cache memory, and cannot be used by the instruction bus as well.
ESP32 Cache supports the Flush function. It is worth noting that when the Flush function is used, the data
written in the cache will be disposed rather than being rewritten into the External SRAM. To enable the Flush
function, first clear bit x_CACHE_FLUSH_ENA in register DPORT_x_CACHE_CTRL_REG, then set this bit to 1.
Afterwards, the system hardware will set bit x_CACHE_FLUSH_DONE to 1, where x can be ”PRO” or ”APP”,
indicating that the cache flush operation has been completed.
For more information about the address mapping of ESP32 Cache, please refer to Embedded Memory and
External Memory.
1.3.5 Peripherals
The ESP32 has 41 peripherals. Table 7 specifically describes the peripherals and their respective address
ranges. Nearly all peripheral modules can be accessed by either CPU at the same address with just a single
exception; this being the PID Controller.

1.3.5.1 Asymmetric PID Controller Peripheral
There are two PID Controllers in the system. They serve the PRO_CPU and the APP_CPU, respectively. The
PRO_CPU and the APP_CPU can only access their own PID Controller and not that of their counterpart.
Each CPU uses the same memory range 0x3FF1_F000 ~ 3FF1_FFFF to access its own PID Controller.
1.3.5.2 Non-Contiguous Peripheral Memory Ranges
The SDIO Slave peripheral consists of three parts and the two CPUs use non-contiguous addresses to access
these. The three parts are accessed at the address ranges 0x3FF4_B000 ~ 3FF4_BFFF, 0x3FF5_5000 ~
3FF5_5FFF and 0x3FF5_8000 ~ 3FF5_8FFF of each CPU’s data bus. Similarly to other peripherals, access to
this peripheral is identical for both CPUs.

ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
1. SYSTEM AND MEMORY
1.3.5.3 Memory Speed
The ROM as well as the SRAM are both clocked from CPU_CLK and can be accessed by the CPU in a single
cycle. The RTC FAST memory is clocked from the APB_CLOCK and the RTC SLOW memory from the
FAST_CLOCK, so access to these memories may be slower. DMA uses the APB_CLK to access memory.
Internally, the SRAM is organized in 32K-sized banks. Each CPU and DMA channel can simultaneously access
the SRAM at full speed, provided they access addresses in different memory banks.

2. INTERRUPT MATRIX
2. Interrupt Matrix
2.1 Introduction
The Interrupt Matrix embedded in the ESP32 independently allocates peripheral interrupt sources to the two
CPUs’ peripheral interrupts. This configuration is made to be highly flexible in order to meet many different needs.
2.2 Features
• Accepts 71 peripheral interrupt sources as input.
• Generates 26 peripheral interrupt sources per CPU as output (52 total).
• CPU NMI Interrupt Mask.
• Queries current interrupt status of peripheral interrupt sources.
The structure of the Interrupt Matrix is shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4: Interrupt Matrix Structure
2.3 Functional Description
2.3.1 Peripheral Interrupt Source
ESP32 has 71 peripheral interrupt sources in total. All peripheral interrupt sources are listed in table 8. 67 of 71
ESP32 peripheral interrupt sources can be allocated to either CPU.
The four remaining peripheral interrupt sources are CPU-specific, two per CPU. GPIO_INTERRUPT_PRO and
GPIO_INTERRUPT_PRO_NMI can only be allocated to PRO_CPU. GPIO_INTERRUPT_APP and
GPIO_INTERRUPT_APP_NMI can only be allocated to APP_CPU. As a result, PRO_CPU and APP_CPU each
have 69 peripheral interrupt sources.

2.3.3 Allocate Peripheral Interrupt Sources to Peripheral Interrupt on CPU
In this section:
• Source_X stands for any particular peripheral interrupt source.
• PRO_X_MAP_REG (or APP_X_MAP_REG) stands for any particular peripheral interrupt configuration
Espressif Systems
36
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
2. INTERRUPT MATRIX
register of the PRO_CPU (or APP_CPU). The peripheral interrupt configuration register corresponds to the
peripheral interrupt source Source_X. In Table 8 the registers listed under “PRO_CPU (APP_CPU) Peripheral Interrupt Configuration Register” correspond to the peripheral interrupt sources listed in
“Peripheral Interrupt Source - Name”.
• Interrupt_P stands for CPU peripheral interrupt, numbered as Num_P. Num_P can take the ranges 0 ~ 5, 8
~ 10, 12 ~ 14, 17 ~ 28, 30 ~ 31.
• Interrupt_I stands for the CPU internal interrupt numbered as Num_I. Num_I can take values 6, 7, 11, 15,
16, 29.
Using this terminology, the possible operations of the Interrupt Matrix controller can be described as
follows:
• Allocate peripheral interrupt source Source_X to CPU (PRO_CPU or APP_CPU)
Set PRO_X_MAP_REG�or APP_X_MAP_REG�to Num_P. Num_P can be any CPU peripheral interrupt
number. CPU interrupts can be shared between multiple peripherals (see below).
• Disable peripheral interrupt source Source_X for CPU (PRO_CPU or APP_CPU)
Set PRO_X_MAP_REG�or APP_X _MAP_REG�for peripheral interrupt source to any Num_I. The specific
choice of internal interrupt number does not change behaviour, as none of the interrupt numbered as
Num_I is connected to either CPU.
• Allocate multiple peripheral sources Source_Xn ORed to PRO_CPU (APP_CPU) peripheral interrupt
Set multiple PRO_Xn_MAP_REG (APP_Xn_MAP_REG) to the same Num_P. Any of these peripheral
interrupts will trigger CPU Interrupt_P.
2.3.4 CPU NMI Interrupt Mask
The Interrupt Matrix temporarily masks all peripheral interrupt sources allocated to PRO_CPU’s ( or APP_CPU’s )
NMI interrupt, if it receives the signal PRO_CPU NMI Interrupt Mask ( or APP_CPU NMI Interrupt Mask ) from the
peripheral PID Controller, respectively.
2.3.5 Query Current Interrupt Status of Peripheral Interrupt Source
The current interrupt status of a peripheral interrupt source can be read via the bit value in
PRO_INTR_STATUS_REG_n (APP_INTR_STATUS_REG_n), as shown in the mapping in Table 8.

3.1 System Reset
3.1.1 Introduction
The ESP32 has three reset levels: CPU reset, Core reset, and System reset. None of these reset levels clear the
RAM. Figure 5 shows the subsystems included in each reset level.
Figure 5: System Reset
• CPU reset: Only resets the registers of one or both of the CPU cores.
• Core reset: Resets all the digital registers, including CPU cores, external GPIO and digital GPIO. The RTC is
not reset.
• System reset: Resets all the registers on the chip, including those of the RTC.
3.1.2 Reset Source
While most of the time the APP_CPU and PRO_CPU will be reset simultaneously, some reset sources are able to
reset only one of the two cores. The reset reason for each core can be looked up individually: the PRO_CPU
reset reason will be stored in RTC_CNTL_RESET_CAUSE_PROCPU, the reset reason for the APP_CPU in
APP_CNTL_RESET_CAUSE_PROCPU. Table 10 shows the possible reset reason values that can be read from
these registers.

3.2 System Clock
3.2.1 Introduction
The ESP32 integrates multiple clock sources for the CPU cores, the peripherals and the RTC. These clocks can
be configured to meet different requirements. Figure 6 shows the system clock structure.
Figure 6: System Clock
Espressif Systems
39
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
3. RESET AND CLOCK
3.2.2 Clock Source
The ESP32 can use an external crystal oscillator, an internal PLL or an oscillating circuit as a clock source.
Specifically, the clock sources available are:
• High Speed Clocks
– PLL_CLK is an internal PLL clock with a frequency of 320 MHz.
– XTL_CLK is a clock signal generated using an external crystal with a frequency range of 2 ~ 40 MHz.
• Low Power Clocks
– XTL32K_CLK is a clock generated using an external crystal with a frequency of 32 KHz.
– RTC8M_CLK is an internal clock with a default frequency of 8 MHz. This frequency is adjustable.
– RTC8M_D256_CLK is divided from RTC8M_CLK 256. Its frequency is (RTC8M_CLK / 256). With the
default RTC8M_CLK frequency of 8 MHz, this clock runs at 31.250 KHz.
– RTC_CLK is an internal low power clock with a default frequency of 150 KHz. This frequency is
adjustable.
• Audio Clock
– APLL_CLK is an internal Audio PLL clock with a frequency range of 16 ~ 128 MHz.
3.2.3 CPU Clock
As Figure 6 shows, CPU_CLK is the master clock for both CPU cores. CPU_CLK clock can be as high as 160
MHz when the CPU is in high performance mode. Alternatively, the CPU can run at lower frequencies to reduce
power consumption.
The CPU_CLK clock source is determined by the RTC_CNTL_SOC_CLK_SEL register. PLL_CLK, APLL_CLK,
RTC8M_CLK and XTL_CLK can be set as the CPU_CLK source; see Table 11 and 12.

3.2.4.1 APB_CLK Source

source.

3.2.4.2 REF_TICK Source
REF_TICK is derived from APB_CLK via a divider. The divider value used depends on the APB_CLK source,
which in turn depends on the CPU_CLK source.
By configuring correct divider values for each APB_CLK source, the user can ensure that the REF_TICK
frequency does not change when CPU_CLK changes source, causing the APB_CLK frequency to change.
Clock divider registers are shown in Table 15.

3.2.4.4 APLL_SCLK Source

registers.

PLL_D2_CLK is half the PLL_CLK frequency.
Espressif Systems
42
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
3. RESET AND CLOCK
3.2.4.6 Clock Source Considerations
Most peripherals will operate using the APB_CLK frequency as a reference. When this frequency changes, the
peripherals will need to update their clock configuration to operate at the same frequency after the change.
Peripherals accessing REF_TICK can continue operating normally when switching clock sources, without
changing clock source. Please see Table 13 for details.
The LED PWM module can use RTC8M_CLK as a clock source when APB_CLK is disabled. In other words,
when the system is in low-power consumption mode (see Power Management Chapter), normal peripherals will
be halted (APB_CLK is turned off), but the LED PWM can work normally via RTC8M_CLK.
3.2.5 Wi-Fi BT Clock
Wi-Fi and BT can only operate if APB_CLK uses PLL_CLK as its clock source. Suspending PLL_CLK requires
Wi-Fi and BT to both have entered low-power consumption mode first.
For LOW_POWER_CLK, one of RTC_CLK, SLOW_CLK, RTC8M_CLK or XTL_CLK can be selected as the
low-power consumption mode clock source for Wi-Fi and BT.
3.2.6 RTC Clock
The clock sources of SLOW_CLK and FAST_CLK are low-frequency clocks. The RTC module can operate when
most other clocks are stopped.
SLOW_CLK is used to clock the Power Management module. It can be sourced from RTC_CLK, XTL32K_CLK
or RTC8M_D256_CLK
FAST_CLK is used to clock the On-chip Sensor module. It can be sourced from a divided XTL_CLK or from
RTC8M_CLK.
3.2.7 Audio PLL
The operation of audio and other time-critical data-transfer applications requires highly-configurable, low-jitter,
and accurate clock sources. The clock sources derived from system clocks that serve digital peripherals may
carry jitter and, therefore, they do not support a high-precision clock frequency setting.
Providing an integrated precision clock source can minimize system cost. To this end, ESP32 integrates an audio
PLL intended for I2S peripherals. More details on how to clock the I2S module, using an APLL clock, can be
found in Chapter I2S. The Audio PLL formula is as follows:
fout =
fxtal (sdm2 + sdm1
+ sdm0
+ 4)
28
216
2(odiv + 2)
The parameters of this formula are defined below:
• fxtal : the frequency of the crystal oscillator, usually 40 MHz;
• sdm0: the value is 0 ~ 255;
• sdm1: the value is 0 ~ 255;
• sdm2: the value is 0 ~ 63;
• odir: the value is 0 ~ 31;
Espressif Systems
43
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
3. RESET AND CLOCK
The operating frequency range of the numerator is 350 MHz ~ 500 MHz:
350M Hz < fxtal (sdm2 +
sdm1 sdm0
+ 16 + 4) < 500M Hz
28
2
Please note that sdm1 and sdm0 are not available on revision0 of ESP32. Please consult the silicon revision in
ECO and Workarounds for Bugs in ESP32 for further details.
Audio PLL can be manually enabled or disabled via registers RTC_CNTL_PLLA_FORCE_PU and
RTC_CNTL_PLLA_FORCE_PD, respectively. Disabling it takes priority over enabling it. When
RTC_CNTL_PLLA_FORCE_PU and RTC_CNTL_PLLA_FORCE_PD are 0, PLL will follow the state of the system,
i.e., when the system enters sleep mode, PLL will be disabled automatically; when the system wakes up, PLL will
be enabled automatically.

4. IO_MUX AND GPIO MATRIX
4. IO_MUX and GPIO Matrix
4.1 Overview
The ESP32 chip features 34 physical GPIO pads. Each pad can be used as a general-purpose I/O, or be
connected to an internal peripheral signal. The IO_MUX, RTC IO_MUX and the GPIO matrix are responsible for
routing signals from the peripherals to GPIO pads. Together these systems provide highly configurable I/O.
This chapter describes the signal selection and connection between the digital pads (FUNC_SEL, IE, OE, WPU,
WDU, etc.), 162 peripheral input and 176 output signals (control signals: SIG_IN_SEL, SIG_OUT_SEL, IE, OE,
etc.), fast peripheral input/output signals (control signals: IE, OE, etc.), and RTC IO_MUX.
Figure 7: IO_MUX, RTC IO_MUX and GPIO Matrix Overview
1. The IO_MUX contains one register per GPIO pad. Each pad can be configured to perform a ”GPIO” function
(when connected to the GPIO Matrix) or a direct function (bypassing the GPIO Matrix). Some high-speed
digital functions (Ethernet, SDIO, SPI, JTAG, UART) can bypass the GPIO Matrix for better high-frequency
digital performance. In this case, the IO_MUX is used to connect these pads directly to the peripheral.)
See Section 4.10 for a list of IO_MUX functions for each I/O pad.
2. The GPIO Matrix is a full-switching matrix between the peripheral input/output signals and the pads.
• For input to the chip: Each of the 162 internal peripheral inputs can select any GPIO pad as the input
source.
• For output from the chip: The output signal of each of the 34 GPIO pads can be from one of the 176
peripheral output signals.
See Section 4.9 for a list of GPIO Matrix peripheral signals.
3. RTC IO_MUX is used to connect GPIO pads to their low-power and analog functions. Only a subset of
GPIO pads have these optional ”RTC” functions.
See Section 4.11 for a list of RTC IO_MUX functions.

4.2 Peripheral Input via GPIO Matrix
4.2.1 Summary
To receive a peripheral input signal via the GPIO Matrix, the GPIO Matrix is configured to source the peripheral
signal’s input index (0-18, 23-36, 39-58, 61-90, 95-124, 140-155, 164-181, 190-195, 198-206) from one of the
34 GPIOs (0-19, 21-23, 25-27, 32-39).
The input signal is read from the GPIO pad through the IO_MUX. The IO_MUX must be configured to set the
chosen pad to ”GPIO” function. This causes the GPIO pad input signal to be routed into the GPIO Matrix, which
in turn routes it to the selected peripheral input.
4.2.2 Functional Description
Figure 8 shows the logic for input selection via GPIO Matrix.

To read GPIO pad X into peripheral signal Y, follow the steps below:
1. Configure the GPIO_FUNCy_IN_SEL_CFG register corresponding to peripheral signal Y in the GPIO Matrix:
• Set the GPIO_FUNCx_IN_SEL field in this register, corresponding to the GPIO pad X to read from.
Clear all other fields corresponding to other GPIO pads.
2. Configure the GPIO_FUNCx_OUT_SEL_CFG register and clear the GPIO_ENABLE_DATA[x] field
corresponding to GPIO pad X in the GPIO Matrix:
• Set the GPIO_FUNCx_OEN_SEL bit in the GPIO_FUNCx_OUT_SEL_CFG register to force the pin’s
output state to be determined always by the GPIO_ENABLE_DATA[x] field.
• The GPIO_ENABLE_DATA[x] field is a bit in either GPIO_ENABLE_REG (GPIOs 0-31) or
GPIO_ENABLE1_REG (GPIOs 32-39). Clear this bit to disable the output driver for the GPIO pad.
3. Configure the IO_MUX to select the GPIO Matrix. Set the IO_MUX_x_REG register corresponding to GPIO
pad X as follows:
• Set the function field (IO_x_MCU_SEL) to the IO_MUX function corresponding to GPIO X (this is
Function #3—numeric value 2—for all pins).
Espressif Systems
46
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
4. IO_MUX AND GPIO MATRIX
• Enable the input by setting the FUN_IE bit.
• Set or clear the FUN_WPU and FUN_WPD bits, as desired, to enable/disable internal
pull-up/pull-down resistors.
Notes:
• One input pad can be connected to multiple input_signals.
• The input signal can be inverted with GPIO_FUNCx_IN_INV_SEL.
• It is possible to have a peripheral read a constantly low or constantly high input value without connecting
this input to a pad. This can be done by selecting a special GPIO_FUNCy_IN_SEL input, instead of a GPIO
number:
– When GPIO_FUNCx_IN_SEL is 0x30, input_signal_x is always 0.
– When GPIO_FUNCx_IN_SEL is 0x38, input_signal_x is always 1.
For example, to connect RMT peripheral channel 0 input signal (RMT_SIG_IN0_IDX, signal index 83) to GPIO 15,
please follow the steps below. Note that GPIO 15 is also named the MTDO pin:
1. Set the GPIO_FUNC_83_IN_SEL_CFG register field GPIO_FUNC83_IN_SEL value to 15.
2. As this is an input-only signal, set GPIO_FUNC15_OEN_SEL bit in GPIO_FUNC15_OUT_SEL_CFG_REG.
3. Clear bit 15 of GPIO_ENABLE_REG (field GPIO_ENABLE_DATA[15]).
4. Set the IO_MUX_GPIO15 register MCU_SEL field to 2 (GPIO function) and also set the FUN_IE bit (input
mode).
4.2.3 Simple GPIO Input
The GPIO_IN_REG/GPIO_IN1_REG register holds the input values of each GPIO pad.
The input value of any GPIO pin can be read at any time without configuring the GPIO Matrix for a particular
peripheral signal. However, it is necessary to enable the input in the IO_MUX by setting the FUN_IE bit in the
IO_MUX_x_REG register corresponding to pad X, as mentioned in Section 4.2.2.
4.3 Peripheral Output via GPIO Matrix
4.3.1 Summary
To output a signal from a peripheral via the GPIO Matrix, the GPIO Matrix is configured to route the peripheral
output signal (0-18, 23-37, 61-121, 140-125, 224-228) to one of the 34 GPIOs (0-19, 21-23, 25-27,
32-39).
The output signal is routed from the peripheral into the GPIO Matrix. It is then routed into the IO_MUX, which is
configured to set the chosen pad to ”GPIO” function. This causes the output GPIO signal to be connected to the
pad.
Note:
The peripheral output signals 224 to 228 can be configured to be routed in from one GPIO and output directly from another
GPIO.

4. IO_MUX AND GPIO MATRIX
4.3.2 Functional Description
One of the 176 output signals can be selected to go through the GPIO matrix into the IO_MUX and then to a pad.
Figure 9 illustrates the configuration.
Figure 9: Output via GPIO Matrix
To output peripheral signal Y to particular GPIO pad X, follow these steps:
1. Configure the GPIO_FUNCx_OUT_SEL_CFG register and GPIO_ENABLE_DATA[x] field corresponding to
GPIO X in the GPIO Matrix:
• Set the GPIO_FUNCx_OUT_SEL field in GPIO_FUNCx_OUT_SEL_CFG to the numeric index (Y) of
desired peripheral output signal Y.
• If the signal should always be enabled as an output, set the GPIO_FUNCx_OEN_SEL bit in the
GPIO_FUNCx_OUT_SEL_CFG register and the GPIO_ENABLE_DATA[x] field in the
GPIO_ENABLE_REG register corresponding to GPIO pad X. To have the output enable signal decided
by internal logic, clear the GPIO_FUNCx_OEN_SEL bit instead.
• The GPIO_ENABLE_DATA[x] field is a bit in either GPIO_ENABLE_REG (GPIOs 0-31) or
GPIO_ENABLE1_REG (GPIOs 32-39). Clear this bit to disable the output driver for the GPIO pad.
2. For an open drain output, set the GPIO_PINx_PAD_DRIVER bit in the GPIO_PINx register corresponding to
GPIO pad X. For push/pull mode (default), clear this bit.
3. Configure the IO_MUX to select the GPIO Matrix. Set the IO_MUX_x_REG register corresponding to GPIO
pad X as follows:
• Set the function field (IO_x_MCU_SEL) to the IO_MUX function corresponding to GPIO X (this is
Function #3—numeric value 2—for all pins).
• Set the FUN_DRV field to the desired value for output strength (1-3). The higher the drive strength, the
more current can be sourced/sunk from the pin.
• If using open drain mode, set/clear the FUNC_WPU and FUNC_WPD bits to enable/disable the
internal pull-up/down resistors.

ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
4. IO_MUX AND GPIO MATRIX
Notes:
• The output signal from a single peripheral can be sent to multiple pads simultaneously.
• Only the 34 GPIOs can be used as outputs.
• The output signal can be inverted by setting the GPIO_FUNCx_OUT_INV_SEL bit.
4.3.3 Simple GPIO Output
The GPIO Matrix can also be used for simple GPIO output – setting a bit in the GPIO_OUT_DATA register will
write to the corresponding GPIO pad.
To configure a pad as simple GPIO output, the GPIO Matrix GPIO_FUNCx_OUT_SEL register is configured with a
special peripheral index value (0x100).
4.4 Direct I/O via IO_MUX
4.4.1 Summary
Some high speed digital functions (Ethernet, SDIO, SPI, JTAG, UART) can bypass the GPIO Matrix for better
high-frequency digital performance. In this case, the IO_MUX is used to connect these pads directly to the
peripheral.
Selecting this option is less flexible than using the GPIO Matrix, as the IO_MUX register for each GPIO pad can
only select from a limited number of functions. However, better high-frequency digital performance will be
maintained.
4.4.2 Functional Description
Two registers must be configured in order to bypass the GPIO Matrix for peripheral I/O:
1. IO_MUX for the GPIO pad must be set to the required pad function. (Please refer to section 4.10 for a list of
pad functions.)
2. For inputs, the SIG_IN_SEL register must be set to route the input directly to the peripheral.
4.5 RTC IO_MUX for Low Power and Analog I/O
4.5.1 Summary
18 GPIO pads have low power capabilities (RTC domain) and analog functions which are handled by the RTC
subsystem of ESP32. The IO_MUX and GPIO Matrix are not used for these functions; rather, the RTC_MUX is
used to redirect the I/O to the RTC subsystem.
When configured as RTC GPIOs, the output pads can still retain the output level value when the chip is in
Deep-sleep mode, and the input pads can wake up the chip from Deep-sleep.
Section 4.11 has a list of RTC_MUX pins and their functions.
Espressif Systems
49
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
4. IO_MUX AND GPIO MATRIX
4.5.2 Functional Description
Each pad with analog and RTC functions is controlled by the RTC_IO_TOUCH_PADx_TO_GPIO bit in the
RTC_GPIO_PINx register. By default this bit is set to 1, routing all I/O via the IO_MUX subsystem as described in
earlier subsections.
If the RTC_IO_TOUCH_PADx_TO_GPIO bit is cleared, then I/O to and from that pad is routed to the RTC
subsystem. In this mode, the RTC_GPIO_PINx register is used for digital I/O and the analog features of the pad
are also available. See Section 4.11 for a list of RTC pin functions.
See 4.11 for a table mapping GPIO pads to their RTC equivalent pins and analog functions. Note that the
RTC_IO_PINx registers use the RTC GPIO pin numbering, not the GPIO pad numbering.
4.6 Light-sleep Mode Pin Functions
Pins can have different functions when the ESP32 is in Light-sleep mode. If the GPIOxx_SLP_SEL bit in the
IO_MUX register for a GPIO pad is set to 1, a different set of registers is used to control the pad when the ESP32
is in Light-sleep mode:

If GPIOxx_SLP_SEL is set to 0, the pin functions remain the same in both normal execution and Light-sleep
modes.
4.7 Pad Hold Feature
Each IO pad (including the RTC pads) has an individual hold function controlled by a RTC register. When the pad
is set to hold, the state is latched at that moment and will not change no matter how the internal signals change
or how the IO_MUX configuration or GPIO configuration is modified. Users can use the hold function for the pads
to retain the pad state through a core reset and system reset triggered by watchdog time-out or Deep-sleep
events.
4.8 I/O Pad Power Supply
IO pad power supply is shown in Figure 10.
• Pads marked blue are RTC pads that have their individual analog function and can also act as normal
digital IO pads. For details, please see Section 4.11.
• Pads marked pink and green have digital functions only.
• Pads marked green can be powered externally or internally via VDD_SDIO (see below).

Figure 10: ESP32 I/O Pad Power Sources
4.8.1 VDD_SDIO Power Domain
VDD_SDIO can source or sink current, allowing this power domain to be powered externally or internally. To
power VDD_SDIO externally, apply the same power supply of VDD3P3_RTC to the VDD_SDIO pad.
Without an external power supply, the internal regulator will supply VDD_SDIO. The VDD_SDIO voltage can be
configured to be either 1.8V or the same as VDD3P3_RTC), depending on the state of the MTDI pad at reset – a
high level configures 1.8V and a low level configures the voltage to be the same as VDD3P3_RTC. Setting the
efuse bit determines the default voltage of the VDD_SDIO. In addition, software can change the voltage of the
VDD_SDIO by configuring register bits.

Reset Configurations
”Reset” column shows each pad’s default configurations after reset:
• 0 - IE=0 (input disabled).
• 1 - IE=1 (input enabled).
• 2 - IE=1, WPD=1 (input enabled, pulldown resistor).
• 3 - IE=1, WPU=1 (input enabled, pullup resistor).
Notes
• R - Pad has RTC/analog functions via RTC_MUX.
• I - Pad can only be configured as input GPIO.
Please refer to the ESP32 Pin Lists in ESP32 Datasheet for more details.

If you want to output clock for I2S0 to:
CLK_OUT1, then set PIN_CTRL[3:0] = 0x0;
CLK_OUT2, then set PIN_CTRL[3:0] = 0x0 and PIN_CTRL[7:4] = 0x0;
CLK_OUT3, then set PIN_CTRL[3:0] = 0x0 and PIN_CTRL[11:8] = 0x0.
If you want to output clock for I2S1 to:
CLK_OUT1, then set PIN_CTRL[3:0] = 0xF;
CLK_OUT2, then set PIN_CTRL[3:0] = 0xF and PIN_CTRL[7:4] = 0x0;
CLK_OUT3, then set PIN_CTRL[3:0] = 0xF and PIN_CTRL[11:8] = 0x0. (R/W)
Note:
Only the above mentioned combinations of clock source and clock output pins are possible.
The CLK_OUT1-3 can be found in the IO_MUX Pad Summary.

5.3.6 APP_CPU Controller Registers
DPort registers are used for some basic configuration of the APP_CPU, such as performing a stalling execution,
and for configuring the ROM boot jump address.
• APP_CPU is reset when DPORT_APPCPU_RESETTING=1. It is released when
DPORT_APPCPU_RESETTING=0.
• When DPORT_APPCPU_CLKGATE_EN=0, the APP_CPU clock can be disabled to reduce power
consumption.
• When DPORT_APPCPU_RUNSTALL=1, the APP_CPU can be put into a stalled state.
• When APP_CPU is booted up with a ROM code, it will jump to the address stored in the
DPORT_APPCPU_BOOT_ADDR register.
5.3.7 Peripheral Clock Gating and Reset
Reset and clock gating registers covered in this section are active-high registers. Note that the reset bits are not
self-cleared by hardware. When a clock-gating register bit is set to 1, the corresponding clock is enabled. Setting
the register bit to 0 disables the clock. Setting a reset register bit to 1 puts the peripheral in a reset state, while
setting the register bit to 0 disables the reset state, thus enabling normal operation.
• DPORT_PERI_CLK_EN_REG: enables the hardware accelerator clock.
– BIT4, Digital Signature
– BIT3, Secure boot
– BIT2, RSA Accelerator
– BIT1, SHA Accelerator
– BIT0, AES Accelerator
• DPORT_PERI_RST_EN_REG: resets the accelerator.
– BIT4, Digital Signature
AES Accelerator and RSA Accelerator will also be reset.
– BIT3, Secure boot
AES Accelerator and SHA Accelerator will also be reset.
– BIT2, RSA Accelerator
– BIT1, SHA Accelerator
– BIT0, AES Accelerator
• DPORT_PERIP_CLK_EN_REG=1: enables the peripheral clock.
– BIT26, PWM3
– BIT25, PWM2
– BIT24, UART MEM
All UART-shared memory. As long as a UART is working, the UART memory clock cannot be in the
gating state.

6. DMA CONTROLLER
6. DMA Controller
6.1 Overview
Direct Memory Access (DMA) is used for high-speed data transfer between peripherals and memory, as well as
from memory to memory. Data can be quickly moved with DMA without any CPU intervention, thus allowing for
more efficient use of the cores when processing data.
In the ESP32, 13 peripherals are capable of using DMA for data transfer, namely, UART0, UART1, UART2, SPI1,
SPI2, SPI3, I2S0, I2S1, SDIO slave, SD/MMC host, EMAC, BT, and Wi-Fi.
6.2 Features
The DMA controllers in the ESP32 feature:
• AHB bus architecture

6.3 Functional Description
All modules that require high-speed data transfer in bulk contain a DMA controller. DMA addressing uses the
same data bus as the CPU to read/write to the internal RAM.
Each DMA controller features different functions. However, the architecture of the DMA engine (DMA_ENGINE) is
the same in all DMA controllers.
6.3.1 DMA Engine Architecture
Figure 11: DMA Engine Architecture
Espressif Systems

ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
6. DMA CONTROLLER
The DMA Engine accesses SRAM over the AHB BUS. In Figure 11, the RAM represents the internal SRAM banks
available on ESP32. Further details on the SRAM addressing range can be found in Chapter System and
Memory. Software can use a DMA Engine by assigning a linked list to define the DMA operational
parameters.
The DMA Engine transmits the data from the RAM to a peripheral, according to the contents of the out_link
descriptor. Also, the DMA Engine stores the data received from a peripheral into a specified RAM location,
according to the contents of the in_link descriptor.
6.3.2 Linked List
Figure 12: Linked List Structure
The DMA descriptor’s linked lists (out_link and in_link) have the same structure. As shown in Figure 12, a
linked-list descriptor consists of three words. The meaning of each field is as follows:
• owner (DW0) [31]: The allowed operator of the buffer corresponding to the current linked list.
1’b0: the allowed operator is the CPU;
1’b1: the allowed operator is the DMA controller.
• eof (DW0) [30]: End-Of-File character.
1’b0: the linked-list item does not mark the end of the linked list;
1’b1: the linked-list item is at the end of the linked list.
• reserved (DW0) [29:24]: Reserved bits.
Software should not write 1’s in this space.
• length (DW0) [23:12]: The number of valid bytes in the buffer corresponding to the current linked list. The
field value indicates the number of bytes to be transferred to/from the buffer denoted by word DW1.
• size (DW0) [11:0]: The size of the buffer corresponding to the current linked list.
NOTE: The size must be word-aligned.
• buffer address pointer (DW1): Buffer address pointer. This is the address of the data buffer.
NOTE: The buffer address must be word-aligned.
• next descriptor address (DW2): The address pointer of the next linked-list item. The value is 0, if the current
linked-list item is the last on the list (eof=1).
When receiving data, if the data transfer length is smaller than the specified buffer size, DMA will not use the
remaining space. This enables the DMA engine to be used for transferring an arbitrary number of data
bytes.
6.4 UART DMA (UDMA)
The ESP32 has three UART interfaces that share two UDMA (UART DMA) controllers. The UHCIx_UART_CE (x is
0 or 1) is used for selecting the UDMA.
Espressif Systems
115
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
6. DMA CONTROLLER
Figure 13: Data Transfer in UDMA Mode
Figure 13 shows the data transfer in UDMA mode. Before the DMA Engine receives data, software must initialize
the receive-linked-list. UHCIx_INLINK_ADDR is used to point to the first in_link descriptor. The register must be
programmed with the lower 20 bits of the address of the initial linked-list item. After UHCIx_INLINK_START is set,
the Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) will transmit the data received by UART to the Decoder. After being
parsed, the data will be stored in the RAM as specified by the receive-linked-list descriptor.
Before DMA transmits data, software must initialize the transmit-linked-list and the data to be transferred.
UHCI_OUTLINK_ADDR is used to point to the first out_link descriptor. The register must be programmed with
the lower 20 bits of the address of the initial transmit-linked-list item. After UHCIx_OUTLINK_START is set, the
DMA Engine will read data from the RAM location specified by the linked-list descriptor and then transfer the data
through the Encoder. The DMA Engine will then shift the data out serially through the UART transmitter.
The UART DMA follows a format of (separator + data + separator). The Encoder is used for adding separators
before and after data, as well as using special-character sequences to replace data that are the same as
separators. The Decoder is used for removing separators before and after data, as well as replacing the
special-character sequences with separators. There can be multiple consecutive separators marking the
beginning or end of data. These separators can be configured through UHCIx_SEPER_CH, with the default
values being 0xC0. Data that are the same as separators can be replaced with UHCIx_ESC_SEQ0_CHAR0
(0xDB by default) and UHCIx_ESC_SEQ0_CHAR1 (0xDD by default). After the transmission process is complete,
a UHCIx_OUT_TOTAL_EOF_INT interrupt will be generated. After the reception procedure is complete, a
UHCIx_IN_SUC_EOF_INT interrupt will be generated.
6.5 SPI DMA Interface
ESP32 SPI modules can use DMA as well as the CPU for data exchange with peripherals. As can be seen from
Figure 14, two DMA channels are shared by SPI1, SPI2 and SPI3 controllers. Each DMA channel can be used by
any one SPI controller at any given time.
The ESP32 SPI DMA Engine also uses a linked list to receive/transmit data. Burst transmission is supported. The
minimum data length for a single transfer is one byte. Consecutive data transfer is also supported.
SPI1_DMA_CHAN_SEL[1:0], SPI2_DMA_CHAN_SEL[1:0] and SPI3_DMA_CHAN_SEL[1:0] in
DPORT_SPI_DMA_CHAN_SEL_REG must be configured to enable the SPI DMA interface for a specific SPI
controller. Each SPI controller corresponds to one domain which has two bits with values 0, 1 and 2. Value 3 is
reserved and must not be configured for operation.
Considering SPI1 as an example,
if SPI SPI1_DMA_CHAN_SEL[1:0] = 0, then SPI1 does not use any DMA channel;
if SPI1_DMA_CHAN_SEL[1:0] = 1, then SPI1 enables DMA channel1;
Espressif Systems
116
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
6. DMA CONTROLLER
Figure 14: SPI DMA
if SPI1_DMA_CHAN_SEL[1:0] = 2, then SPI1 enables DMA channel2.
The SPI_OUTLINK_START bit in SPI_DMA_OUT_LINK_REG and the SPI_INLINK_START bit in
SPI_DMA_IN_LINK_REG are used for enabling the DMA Engine. The two bits are self-cleared by hardware.
When SPI_OUTLINK_START is set to 1, the DMA Engine starts processing the outbound linked list descriptor
and prepares to transmit data. When SPI_INLINK_START is set to 1, then the DMA Engine starts processing the
inbound linked-list descriptor and gets prepared to receive data.
Software should configure the SPI DMA as follows:
1. Reset the DMA state machine and FIFO parameters;
2. Configure the DMA-related registers for operation;
3. Configure the SPI-controller-related registers accordingly;
4. Set SPI_USR to enable DMA operation.
6.6 I2S DMA Interface
The ESP32 integrates two I2S modules, I2S0 and I2S1, each of which is powered by a DMA channel. The
REG_I2S_DSCR_EN bit in I2S_FIFO_CONF_REG is used for enabling the DMA operation. ESP32 I2S DMA uses
the standard linked-list descriptor to configure DMA operations for data transfer. Burst transfer is supported.
However, unlike the SPI DMA channels, the data size for a single transfer is one word, or four bytes.
REG_I2S_RX_EOF_NUM[31:0] bit in I2S_RXEOF_NUM_REG is used for configuring the data size of a single
transfer operation, in multiples of one word.
I2S_OUTLINK_START bit in I2S_OUT_LINK_REG and I2S_INLINK_START bit in I2S_IN_LINK_REG are used for
enabling the DMA Engine and are self-cleared by hardware. When I2S_OUTLINK_START is set to 1, the DMA
Engine starts processing the outbound linked-list descriptor and gets prepared to send data. When
I2S_INLINK_START is set to 1, the DMA Engine starts processing the inbound linked-list descriptor and gets
prepared to receive data.
Software should configure the I2S DMA as follows:
1. Configure I2S-controller-related registers;
Espressif Systems
117
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
6. DMA CONTROLLER
2. Reset the DMA state machine and FIFO parameters;
3. Configure DMA-related registers for operation;
4. In I2S master mode, set I2S_TX_START bit or I2S_RX_START bit to initiate an I2S operation;
In I2S slave mode, set I2S_TX_START bit or I2S_RX_START bit and wait for data transfer to be initiated by
the host device.

7.1 Overview
Figure 15: SPI Architecture
As Figure 15 shows, ESP32 integrates four SPI controllers which can be used to communicate with external
devices that use the SPI protocol. Controller SPI0 is used as a buffer for accessing external memory. Controller
SPI1 can be used as a master. Controllers SPI2 and SPI3 can be configured as either a master or a slave. When
used as a master, each SPI controller can drive multiple CS signals (CS0 ~ CS2) to activate multiple slaves.
Controllers SPI1 ~ SPI3 share two DMA channels.
The SPI signal buses consist of D, Q, CS0-CS2, CLK, WP, and HD signals, as Table 25 shows. Controllers SPI0
and SPI1 share one signal bus through an arbiter; the signals of the shared bus start with ”SPI”. Controllers SPI2
and SPI3 use signal buses starting with ”HSPI” and ”VSPI” respectively. The I/O lines included in the
above-mentioned signal buses can be mapped to pins via either the IO_MUX module or the GPIO matrix. (Please
refer to Chapter IO_MUX for details.)
The SPI controller supports four-line half-duplex and full-duplex communication (MOSI, MISO, CS, and CLK lines)
and three-line-bit half-duplex-only communication (DATA, CS, and CLK lines) in GP-SPI mode. In QSPI mode, a
SPI controller accesses the flash or SRAM by using signal buses D, Q, CS0 ~ CS2, CLK, WP, and HD as a
four-bit parallel SPI bus. The mapping between the GP-SPI signal bus and the QSPI signal bus is shown in Table
25.

7.3 GP-SPI
The SPI1 ~ SPI3 controllers can communicate with other slaves as a standard SPI master. Every SPI master
can be connected to three slaves at most by default. In non-DMA mode, the maximum length of data
received/sent in one burst is 64 bytes. The data length is in multiples of 1 byte.
7.3.1 GP-SPI Master Mode
The SPI master mode supports four-line full-duplex communication and three-line half-duplex communication.
The connections needed for four-line full-duplex communications are outlined in Figure 16.
Figure 16: SPI Master and Slave Full-duplex Communication
For four-line full-duplex communication, the length of received and sent data needs to be set by configuring the
SPI_MISO_DLEN_REG, SPI_MOSI_DLEN_REG registers for master mode as well as
Espressif Systems
120
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
7. SPI
SPI_SLV_RDBUF_DLEN_REG, SPI_SLV_WRBUF_DLEN_REG registers for slave mode. The SPI_DOUTDIN bit
and SPI_USR_MOSI bit in register SPI_USER_REG should also be configured. The SPI_USR bit in register
SPI_CMD_REG needs to be configured to initialize data transfer.
If ESP32 SPI is configured as a slave using three-line half-duplex communication, the master-slave
communication should meet a certain communication format. Please refer to 7.3.2.1 for details. For example, if
ESP32 SPI acts as a slave, the communication format should be: command + address + received/sent data. The
address length of the master should be the same as that of the slave; the value of the address should be 0.
Note:
When using ESP32 as a master in half-duplex communication, the communication format ”command + address + sent
data + received data” and ”sent data + received data” are not applicable to DMA.
The byte order in which ESP32 SPI reads and writes is controlled by the SPI_RD_BYTE_ORDER bit and the
SPI_WR_BYTE_ORDER bit in register SPI_USER_REG. The bit order is controlled by the SPI_RD_BIT_ORDER
bit and the SPI_WR_BIT_ORDER bit in register SPI_CTRL_REG.
7.3.2 GP-SPI Slave Mode
ESP32 SPI2 ~ SPI3 can communicate with other host devices as a slave device. ESP32 SPI should use
particular protocols when acting as a slave. Data received or sent at one time can be no more than 64 bytes
when not using DMA. During a valid read/write process, the appropriate CS signal must be maintained at a low
level. If the CS signal is pulled up during transmission, the internal state of the slave will be reset.
7.3.2.1 Communication Format Supported by GP-SPI Slave
The communication format of ESP32 SPI is: command + address + read/write data. When using half-duplex
communication, the slave read and write operations use fixed hardware commands from which the address part
can not be removed. The command is specified as follows:
1. command: length: 3 ~ 16 bits; Master Out Slave In (MOSI).
2. address: length: 1 ~ 32 bits; Master Out Slave In (MOSI).
3. data read/write: length�0 ~ 512 bits (64 bytes); Master Out Slave In (MOSI) or Master In Slave Out (MISO).
When ESP32 SPI is used as a slave in full-duplex communication, data transaction can be directly initiated
without the master sending command and address. However, please note that the CS should be pulled low at
least one SPI clock period before a read/write process is initiated, and should be pulled high at least one SPI
clock period after the read/write process is completed.
7.3.2.2 Command Definitions Supported by GP-SPI Slave in Half-duplex Mode
The minimum length of a command received by the slave should be three bits. The lowest three bits correspond
to fixed hardware read and write operations as follows:
1. 0x1 (received by slave): Writes data sent by the master into the slave status register via MOSI.
2. 0x2 (received by slave): Writes data sent by the master into the slave data buffer.
3. 0x3 (sent by slave): Sends data in the slave buffer to master via MISO.
Espressif Systems
121
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
7. SPI
4. 0x4 (sent by slave): Sends data in the slave status register to master via MISO.
5. 0x6 (received and then sent by slave): Writes master data on MOSI into data buffer and then sends the
date in the slave data buffer to MISO.
The master can write the slave status register SPI_SLV_WR_STATUS_REG, and decide whether to read data from
register SPI_SLV_WR_STATUS_REG or register SPI_RD_STATUS_REG via the SPI_SLV_STATUS_READBACK
bit in the register SPI_SLAVE1_REG. The SPI master can maintain communication with the slave by reading and
writing slave status register, thus realizing relatively complex communication with ease.
7.3.3 GP-SPI Data Buffer
Figure 17: SPI Data Buffer
ESP32 SPI has 16 x 32 bits of data buffer to buffer data-send and data-receive operations. As is shown in Figure
17, received data is written from the low byte of SPI_W0_REG by default and the writing ends with
SPI_W15_REG. If the data length is over 64 bytes, the extra part will be written from SPI_W0_REG.
Data buffer blocks SPI_W0_REG ~ SPI_W7_REG and SPI_W8_REG ~ SPI_W15_REG data correspond to the
lower part and the higher part respectively. They can be used separately, and are controlled by the
SPI_USR_MOSI_HIGHPART bit and the SPI_USR_MISO_HIGHPART bit in register SPI_USER_REG. For
example, if SPI is configured as a master, when SPI_USR_MOSI_HIGHPART = 1,
SPI_W8_REG ~ SPI_W15_REG are used as buffer for sending data; when SPI_USR_MISO_HIGHPART = 1,
SPI_W8_REG ~ SPI_W15_REG are used as buffer for receiving data. If SPI acts as a slave, when
SPI_USR_MOSI_HIGHPART = 1, SPI_W8_REG ~ SPI_W15_REG are used as buffer for receiving data; when
SPI_USR_MISO_HIGHPART = 1, SPI_W8_REG ~ SPI_W15_REG are used as buffer for sending data.
7.4 GP-SPI Clock Control
The maximum output clock frequency of ESP32 GP-SPI master is fapb /2, and the maximum input clock
frequency of the ESP32 GP-SPI slave is fapb /8. The master can derive other clock frequencies via frequency
division.
fspi =
fapb
(SPI_CLKCNT_N+1)(SPI_CLKDIV_PRE+1)
SPI_CLKCNT_N and SPI_CLKDIV_PRE are two bits of register SPI_CLOCK_REG (Please refer to 7.8 Register
Description for details). When the SPI_CLK_EQU_SYSCLK bit in the register SPI_CLOCK_REG is set to 1, and
the other bits are set to 0, SPI output clock frequency is fapb . For other clock frequencies,
SPI_CLK_EQU_SYSCLK needs to be 0.

7. SPI
7.4.1 GP-SPI Clock Polarity (CPOL) and Clock Phase (CPHA)
The clock polarity and clock phase of ESP32 SPI are controlled by the SPI_CK_IDLE_EDGE bit in register
SPI_PIN_REG, the SPI_CK_OUT_EDGE bit and the SPI_CK_I_EDGE bit in register SPI_USER_REG, the
SPI_MISO_DELAY_MODE[1:0] bit, the SPI_MISO_DELAY_NUM[2:0] bit, the SPI_MOSI_DELAY_MODE[1:0] bit,
and the SPI_MOSI_DELAY_MUM[2:0] bit in register SPI_CTRL2_REG. Table 26 and Table 27 show the clock
polarity and phase as well as the corresponding register values for ESP32 SPI master and slave,
respectively.

7.4.2 GP-SPI Timing
The data signals of ESP32 GP-SPI can be mapped to physical pins via IO_MUX or via IO_MUX and GPIO matrix.
When signals pass through the matrix, they will be delayed by two clkapb clock cycles.
When GP-SPI is used as master and the data signals are not received by the SPI controller via GPIO matrix, if
GP-SPI output clock frequency is not higher than clkapb /2, register SPI_MISO_DELAY_MODE should be set to 0
when configuring the clock polarity. If GP-SPI output clock frequency is not higher than clkapb /4, register
Espressif Systems
123
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
7. SPI
SPI_MISO_DELAY_MODE can be set to the corresponding value in Table 26 when configuring the clock
polarity.
When GP-SPI is used in master mode and the data signals enter the SPI controller via the GPIO matrix:
1. If GP-SPI output clock frequency is clkapb /2, register SPI_MISO_DELAY_MODE should be set to 0 and the
dummy state should be enabled (SPI_USR_DUMMY = 1) for one clkspi clock cycle
(SPI_USR_DUMMY_CYCLELEN = 0) when configuring the clock polarity;
2. If GP-SPI output clock frequency is clkapb /4, register SPI_MISO_DELAY_MODE should be set to 0 when
configuring the clock polarity;
3. If GP-SPI output clock frequency is not higher than clkapb /8, register SPI_MISO_DELAY_MODE can be set
to the corresponding value in Table 26 when configuring the clock polarity.
When GP-SPI is used in slave mode, the maximum slave input clock frequency is fapb /8. In addition, the clock
signal and the data signals should be routed to the SPI controller via the same path, i.e., neither the clock signal
nor the data signals enter the SPI controller via the GPIO matrix, or both the clock signal and the data signals
enter the SPI controller via the GPIO matrix. This is important in ensuring that the signals are not delayed by
different time periods before they reach the SPI hardware.
7.5 Parallel QSPI
ESP32 SPI controllers support SPI bus memory devices (such as flash and SRAM). The hardware connection
between the SPI pins and the memories is shown by Figure 18.
Figure 18: Parallel QSPI
SPI1, SPI2 and SPI3 controllers can also be configured as QSPI master to connect to external memory. The
maximum output clock frequency of the SPI memory interface is fapb , with the same clock configuration as that
of the GP-SPI master.
ESP32 QSPI supports flash-read operation in one-line mode, two-line mode, and four-line mode.
Espressif Systems
124
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
7. SPI
7.5.1 Communication Format of Parallel QSPI
To support communication with special slave devices, ESP32 QSPI implements a specifically designed
communication protocol. The communication format of ESP32 QSPI master is command + address + read/write
data, as shown in Figure 19, with details as follows:
1. Command: length: 1 ~ 16 bits; Master Out Slave In.
2. Address: length: 0 ~ 64 bits; Master Out Slave In.
3. Data read/write: length: 0 ~ 512 bits (64 bytes); Master Out Slave In or Master In Slave Out.
Figure 19: Communication Format of Parallel QSPI
When ESP32 SPI is configured as a master and communicates with slaves that use the SPI protocol, options
such as command, address, data, etc., can be adjusted as required by the specific application. When ESP32
SPI reads special devices such as Flash and SRAM, a dummy state with a programmable length can be inserted
between the address phase and the data phase.
7.6 GP-SPI Interrupt Hardware
ESP32 SPI generates two types of interrupts. One is the SPI interrupt and the other is the SPI DMA
interrupt.
ESP32 SPI reckons the completion of send and/or receive operations as the completion of one operation from
the controller and generates one interrupt. When ESP32 SPI is configured to slave mode, the slave will generate
read/write status registers and read/write buffer data interrupts according to different operations.
7.6.1 SPI Interrupts
The SPI_*_INTEN bits in the SPI_SLAVE_REG register can be set to enable SPI interrupts. When an SPI interrupt
happens, the interrupt flag in the corresponding SPI_*_DONE register will get set. This flag is writable, and an
interrupt can be cleared by setting the bit to zero.
• SPI_TRANS_DONE_INT: Triggered when a SPI operation is done.
• SPI_SLV_WR_STA_INT: Triggered when a SPI slave status write is done.
• SPI_SLV_RD_STA_INT: Triggered when a SPI slave status read is done.
• SPI_SLV_WR_BUF_INT: Triggered when a SPI slave buffer write is done.
• SPI_SLV_RD_BUD_INT: Triggered when a SPI slave buffer read is done.

8. SDIO SLAVE
8. SDIO Slave
8.1 Overview
The ESP32 features hardware support for the industry-standard Secure Digital (SD) device interface that
conforms to the SD Input/Output (SDIO) Specification Version 2.0. This allows a host controller to access the
ESP32 via an SDIO bus protocol, enabling high-speed data transfer.
The SDIO interface may be used to read ESP32 SDIO registers directly and access shared memory via Direct
Memory Access (DMA), thus reducing processing overhead while maintaining high performance.
8.2 Features
• Meets SDIO V2.0 specification
• Supports SDIO SPI, 1-bit, and 4-bit transfer modes
• Full host clock range of 0 ~ 50 MHz
• Configurable sample and drive clock edge
• Integrated, SDIO-accessible registers for information interaction
• Supports SDIO interrupt mechanism
• Automatic data padding
• Block size of up to 512 bytes
• Interrupt vector between Host and Slave for bidirectional interrupt
• Supports DMA for data transfer
8.3 Functional Description
8.3.1 SDIO Slave Block Diagram
The functional block diagram of the SDIO slave module is shown in Figure 20.
Figure 20: SDIO Slave Block Diagram
The Host System represents any SDIO specification V2.0-compatible host device. The Host System interacts
with the ESP32 (configured as the SDIO slave) via the standard SDIO bus implementation.
The SDIO Device Interface block enables effective communication with the external Host by directly providing
SDIO interface registers and enabling DMA operation for high-speed data transfer over the Advanced
High-performance Bus (AHB) without engaging the CPU.

ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
8. SDIO SLAVE
8.3.2 Sending and Receiving Data on SDIO Bus
Data is transmitted between Host and Slave through the SDIO bus I/O Function1. After the Host enables the I/O
Function1 in the Slave, according to the SDIO protocol, data transmission will begin.
ESP32 segregates data into packets sent to/from the Host. To achieve high bus utilization and data transfer
rates, we recommend the single block transmission mode. For detailed information on this mode, please refer to
the SDIO V2.0 protocol specification. When Host and Slave exchange data as blocks on the SDIO bus, the Slave
automatically pads data-when sending data out-and automatically strips padding data from the incoming data
block.
Whether the Slave pads or discards the data depends on the data address on the SDIO bus. When the data
address is equal to, or greater than, 0x1F800, the Slave will start padding or discarding data. Therefore, the
starting data address should be 0x1F800 - Packet_length, where Packet_length is measured in bytes. Data flow
on the SDIO bus is shown in Figure 21.
Figure 21: SDIO Bus Packet Transmission
The standard IO_RW_EXTENDED (CMD53) command is used to initiate a packet transfer of an arbitrary length.
The content of the CMD53 command used in data transmission is as illustrated in Figure 22 below. For detailed
information on CMD53, please refer to the SDIO protocol specifications.

8.3.3 Register Access
For effective interaction between Host and Slave, the Host can access certain registers in the Slave via the SDIO
bus I/O Function1. These registers are in continuous address fields from SLC0HOST_TOKEN_RDATA to
SLCHOST_INF_ST. The Host device can access these registers by simply setting the register addresses of
CMD52 or CMD53 to the low 10 bits of the corresponding register address. The Host can access several
consecutive registers at one go with CMD53, thus achieving a higher effective transfer rate.
There are 54 bytes of field between SLCHOST_CONF_W0_REG and SLCHOST_CONF_W15_REG. Host and
Slave can access and change these fields, thus facilitating the information interaction between Host and
Slave.

8. SDIO SLAVE
8.3.4 DMA
The SDIO Slave module uses dedicated DMA to access data residing in the RAM. As shown in Figure 20, the
RAM is accessed over the AHB. DMA accesses RAM through a linked-list descriptor. Every linked list is
composed of three words, as shown in Figure 23.
Figure 23: SDIO Slave DMA Linked List Structure
• Owner: The allowed operator of the buffer that corresponds to the current linked list. 0: CPU is the allowed
operator; 1: DMA is the allowed operator.
• Eof: End-of-file marker, indicating that this linked-list element is the last element of the data packet.
• Length: The number of valid bytes in the buffer, i.e., the number of bytes that should be accessed from the
buffer for reading/writing.
• Size: The maximum number of available buffers.
• Buffer Address Pointer: The address of the data buffer as seen by the CPU (according to the RAM address
space).
• Next Descriptor Address: The address of the next linked-list element in the CPU RAM address space. If the
current linked list is the last one, the Eof bit should be 1, and the last descriptor address should be 0.
The Slave’s linked-list chain is shown in Figure 24:

8.3.5 Packet-Sending/-Receiving Procedure
The SDIO Host and Slave devices need to follow specific data transfer procedures to successfully exchange data
over the SDIO interface.
8.3.5.1 Sending Packets to SDIO Host
The transmission of packets from Slave to Host is initiated by the Slave. The Host will be notified with an interrupt
(for detailed information on interrupts, please refer to SDIO protocol). After the Host reads the relevant
information from the Slave, it will initiate an SDIO bus transaction accordingly. The whole procedure is illustrated
in Figure 25.
Figure 25: Packet Sending Procedure (Initiated by Slave)
When the Host is interrupted, it reads relevant information from the Slave by visiting registers SLC0HOST_INT
and SLCHOST_PKT_LEN.
Espressif Systems
154
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
8. SDIO SLAVE
• SLC0HOST_INT: Interrupt status register. If the value of SLC0_RX_NEW_PACKET_INT_ST is 1, this
indicates that the Slave has a packet to send.
• SLCHOST_PKT_LEN: Packet length accumulator register. The current value minus the value of last time
equals the packet length sent this time.
In order to start DMA, the CPU needs to write the low 20 bits of the address of the first linked-list element to the
SLC0_RXLINK_ADDR bit of SLC0RX_LINK, then set the SLC0_RXLINK_START bit of SLC0RX_LINK. The DMA
will automatically complete the data transfer. Upon completion of the operation, DMA will interrupt the CPU so
that the buffer space can be freed or reused.
8.3.5.2 Receiving Packets from SDIO Host
Transmission of packets from Host to Slave is initiated by the Host. The Slave receives data via DMA and stores it
in RAM. After transmission is completed, the CPU will be interrupted to process the data. The whole procedure is
demonstrated in Figure 26.
Figure 26: Packet Receiving Procedure (Initiated by Host)
The Host obtains the number of available receiving buffers from the Slave by accessing register
SLC0HOST_TOKEN_RDATA. The Slave CPU should update this value after the receiving DMA linked list is
prepared.
HOSTREG_SLC0_TOKEN1 in SLC0HOST_TOKEN_RDATA stores the accumulated number of available
buffers.
The Host can figure out the available buffer space, using HOSTREG_SLC0_TOKEN1 minus the number of
buffers already used.
Espressif Systems
155
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
8. SDIO SLAVE
If the buffers are not enough, the Host needs to constantly poll the register until there are enough buffers
available.
To ensure sufficient receiving buffers, the Slave CPU must constantly load buffers on the receiving linked list. The
process is shown in Figure 27.
Figure 27: Loading Receiving Buffer
The CPU first needs to append new buffer segments at the end of the linked list that is being used by DMA and is
available for receiving data.
The CPU then needs to notify the DMA that the linked list has been modified. This can be done by setting bit
SLC0_TXLINK_RESTART of the SLC0TX_LINK register. Please note that when the CPU initiates DMA to receive
packets for the first time, SLC0_TXLINK_RESTART should be set to 1.
Lastly, the CPU refreshes any available buffer information by writing to the SLC0TOKEN1 register.
8.3.6 SDIO Bus Timing
The SDIO bus operates at a very high speed and the PCB trace length usually affects signal integrity by
introducing latency. To ensure that the timing characteristics conform to the desired bus timing, the SDIO Slave
module supports configuration of input sampling clock edge and output driving clock edge.
When the incoming data changes near the rising edge of the clock, the Slave will perform sampling on the falling
edge of the clock, or vice versa, as Figure 28 shows.
Figure 28: Sampling Timing Diagram
Sampling edges are configured via the FRC_POS_SAMP and FRC_NEG_SAMP bitfields in the SLCHOST_CONF
register. Each field is five bits wide, with bits corresponding to the CMD line and four DATA lines (0-3). Setting a
bit in FRC_POS_SAMP causes the corresponding line to be sampled for input at the rising clock edge, whereas
setting a bit in FRC_NEG_SAMP causes the corresponding line to be sampled for input at the falling clock
edge.

The Slave can also select the edge at which data output lines are driven to accommodate for any latency caused
by the physical signal path, as shown in Figure 29.
Figure 29: Output Timing Diagram
Driving edges are configured via the FRC_SDIO20 and FRC_SDIO11 bitfields in the SLCHOST_CONF register.
Each field is five bits wide, with bits corresponding to the CMD line and four DATA lines (0-3). Setting a bit in
FRC_SDIO20 causes the corresponding line to output at the rising clock edge, whereas setting a bit in
FRC_SDIO11 causes the corresponding line to output at the falling clock edge.
8.3.7 Interrupt
Host and Slave can interrupt each other via the interrupt vector. Both Host and Slave have eight interrupt
vectors. The interrupt is enabled by configuring the interrupt vector register (setting the enable bit to 1). The
interrupt vector registers can clear themselves automatically, which means one interrupt at a time and no other
configuration is required.
8.3.7.1 Host Interrupt
• SLC0HOST_SLC0_RX_NEW_PACKET_INT Slave has a packet to send.
• SLC0HOST_SLC0_TX_OVF_INT Slave receiving buffer overflow interrupt.
• SLC0HOST_SLC0_RX_UDF_INT Slave sending buffer underflow interrupt.
• SLC0HOST_SLC0_TOHOST_BITn_INT (n: 0 ~ 7) Slave interrupts Host.
8.3.7.2 Slave Interrupt
• SLC0INT_SLC0_RX_DSCR_ERR_INT Slave sending descriptor error.
• SLC0INT_SLC0_TX_DSCR_ERR_INT Slave receiving descriptor error.
• SLC0INT_SLC0_RX_EOF_INT Slave sending operation is finished.
• SLC0INT_SLC0_RX_DONE_INT A single buffer is sent by Slave.
• SLC0INT_SLC0_TX_SUC_EOF_INT Slave receiving operation is finished.
• SLC0INT_SLC0_TX_DONE_INT A single buffer is finished during receiving operation.
• SLC0INT_SLC0_TX_OVF_INT Slave receiving buffer overflow interrupt.
• SLC0INT_SLC0_RX_UDF_INT Slave sending buffer underflow interrupt.
• SLC0INT_SLC0_TX_START_INT Slave receiving interrupt initialization.
• SLC0INT_SLC0_RX_START_INT Slave sending interrupt initialization.

9. SD/MMC HOST CONTROLLER
9. SD/MMC Host Controller
9.1 Overview
The ESP32 memory card interface controller provides a hardware interface between the Advanced Peripheral
Bus (APB) and an external memory device. The memory card interface allows the ESP32 to be connected to
SDIO memory cards, MMC cards and devices with a CE-ATA interface. It supports two external cards (Card0
and Card1).
9.2 Features
This module has the following features:
• Two external cards
• Supports SD Memory Card standard: versions 3.0 and 3.01
• Supports MMC: versions 4.41, 4.5, and 4.51
• Supports CE-ATA: version 1.1
• Supports 1-bit, 4-bit, and 8-bit (Card0 only) modes
The SD/MMC controller topology is shown in Figure 30. The controller supports two peripherals which cannot be
functional at the same time.
Figure 30: SD/MMC Controller Topology
9.3 SD/MMC External Interface Signals
The primary external interface signals, which enable the SD/MMC controller to communicate with an external
device, are clock (clk), command (cmd) and data signals. Additional signals include the card interrupt, card
detect, and write-protect signals. The direction of each signal is shown in Figure 31. The direction and
description of each pin are listed in Table 32.

9.4 Functional Description
9.4.1 SD/MMC Host Controller Architecture
The SD/MMC host controller consists of two main functional blocks, as shown in Figure 32:
• Bus Interface Unit (BIU): It provides APB interfaces for registers, data read and write operation by FIFO and
DMA.
• Card Interface Unit (CIU): It handles external memory card interface protocols. It also provides clock control.
Figure 32: SDIO Host Block Diagram
Espressif Systems
183
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
9. SD/MMC HOST CONTROLLER
9.4.1.1 BIU
The BIU provides the access to registers and FIFO data through the Host Interface Unit (HIU). Additionally, it
provides FIFO access to independent data through a DMA interface. The host interface can be configured as an
APB interface. Figure 32 illustrates the internal components of the BIU. The BIU provides the following
functions:
• Host interface
• DMA interface
• Interrupt control
• Register access
• FIFO access
• Power/pull-up control and card detection
9.4.1.2 CIU
The CIU module implements the card-specific protocols. Within the CIU, the command path control unit and
data path control unit prompt the controller to interface with the command and data ports, respectively, of the
SD/MMC/CE-ATA cards. The CIU also provides clock control. Figure 32 illustrates the internal structure of the
CIU, which consists of the following primary functional blocks:
• Command path
• Data path
• SDIO interrupt control
• Clock control
• Mux/demux unit
9.4.2 Command Path
The command path performs the following functions:
• Configures clock parameters
• Configures card command parameters
• Sends commands to card bus (ccmd_out line)
• Receives responses from card bus (ccmd_in line)
• Sends responses to BIU
• Drives the P-bit on the command line
The command path State Machine is shown in Figure 33.

ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
9. SD/MMC HOST CONTROLLER
Figure 33: Command Path State Machine
9.4.3 Data Path
The data path block pops FIFO data and transmits them on cdata_out during a write-data transfer, or it receives
data on cdata_in and pushes them into FIFO during a read-data transfer. The data path loads new data
parameters, i.e., expected data, read/write data transfer, stream/block transfer, block size, byte count, card type,
timeout registers, etc., whenever a data transfer command is not in progress.
If the data_expected bit is set in the Command register, the new command is a data-transfer command and the
data path starts one of the following operations:
• Transmitting data if the read/write bit = 1
• Receiving data if read/write bit = 0
9.4.3.1 Data Transmit Operation
The data transmit state machine is illustrated in Figure 34. The module starts data transmission two clock cycles
after a response for the data-write command is received. This occurs even if the command path detects a
response error or a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error in a response. If no response is received from the card
until the response timeout, no data are transmitted. Depending on the value of the transfer_mode bit in the
Command register, the data-transmit state machine adds data to the card’s data bus in a stream or in block(s).
The data transmit state machine is shown in Figure 34.

9.4.3.2 Data Receive Operation
The data-receive state machine is illustrated in Figure 35. The module receives data two clock cycles after the
end bit of a data-read command, even if the command path detects a response error or a CRC error. If no
response is received from the card and a response timeout occurs, the BIU does not receive a signal about the
completion of the data transfer. If the command sent by the CIU is an illegal operation for the card, it would
prevent the card from starting a read-data transfer, and the BIU will not receive a signal about the completion of
the data transfer.
If no data are received by the data timeout, the data path signals a data timeout to the BIU, which marks an end
to the data transfer. Based on the value of the transfer_mode bit in the Command register, the data-receive state
machine gets data from the card’s data bus in a stream or block(s). The data receive state machine is shown in
Figure 35.
Figure 35: Data Receive State Machine
9.5 Software Restrictions for Proper CIU Operation
• Only one card at a time can be selected to execute a command or data transfer. For example, when data
are being transferred to or from a card, a new command must not be issued to another card. A new
command, however, can be issued to the same card, allowing it to read the device status or stop the
transfer.
• Only one command at a time can be issued for data transfers.
• During an open-ended card-write operation, if the card clock is stopped due to FIFO being empty, the
software must fill FIFO with data first, and then start the card clock. Only then can it issue a stop/abort
command to the card.
• During an SDIO/COMBO card transfer, if the card function is suspended and the software wants to resume
the suspended transfer, it must first reset FIFO, and then issue the resume command as if it were a new
data-transfer command.
• When issuing card reset commands (CMD0, CMD15 or CMD52_reset), while a card data transfer is in
progress, the software must set the stop_abort_cmd bit in the Command register, so that the CIU can stop
the data transfer after issuing the card reset command.
• When the data’s end bit error is set in the RINTSTS register, the CIU does not guarantee SDIO interrupts. In
such a case, the software ignores SDIO interrupts and issues a stop/abort command to the card, so that
the card stops sending read-data.
Espressif Systems
186
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
9. SD/MMC HOST CONTROLLER
• If the card clock is stopped due to FIFO being full during a card read, the software will read at least two
FIFO locations to restart the card clock.
• Only one CE-ATA device at a time can be selected for a command or data transfer. For example, when
data are transferred from a CE-ATA device, a new command should not be sent to another CE-ATA device.
• If a CE-ATA device’s interrupts are enabled (nIEN=0), a new RW_BLK command should not be sent to the
same device if the execution of a RW_BLK command is already in progress (the RW_BLK command used
in this databook is the RW_MULTIPLE_BLOCK MMC command defined by the CE-ATA specifications).
Only the CCSD can be sent while waiting for the CCS.
• If, however, a CE-ATA device’s interrupts are disabled (nIEN=1), a new command can be issued to the
same device, allowing it to read status information.
• Open-ended transfers are not supported in CE-ATA devices.
• The send_auto_stop signal is not supported (software should not set the send_auto_stop bit) in CE-ATA
transfers.
After configuring the command start bit to 1, the values of the following registers cannot be changed before a
command has been issued:
• CMD - command
• CMDARG - command argument
• BYTCNT - byte count
• BLKSIZ - block size
• CLKDIV - clock divider
• CKLENA - clock enable
• CLKSRC - clock source
• TMOUT - timeout
• CTYPE - card type
9.6 RAM for Receiving and Sending Data
The submodule RAM is a buffer area for sending and receiving data. It can be divided into two units: the one is for
sending data, and the other is for receiving data. The process of sending and receiving data can also be achieved
by the CPU and DMA for reading and writing. The latter method is described in detail in Section 9.8.
9.6.1 Transmit RAM Module
There are two ways to enable a write operation: DMA and CPU read/write.
If SDIO-sending is enabled, data can be written to the transferred RAM module by APB interface or DMA. Data
will be written from register EMAC_FIFO to the CPU, directly, by an APB interface.
Espressif Systems
187
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
9. SD/MMC HOST CONTROLLER
9.6.2 Receive RAM Module
There are two ways to enable a read operation: DMA and CPU read/write.
When a subunit of the data path receives data, the subdata will be written onto the receive-RAM. Then, these
subdata can be read either with the APB or the DMA method at the reading end. Register EMAC_FIFO can be
read by the APB directly.
9.7 Descriptor Chain
Each linked list module consists of two parts: the linked list itself and a data buffer. In other words, each module
points to a unique data buffer and the linked list that follows the module. Figure 36 shows the descriptor
chain.
Figure 36: Descriptor Chain
9.8 The Structure of a Linked List
Each linked list consists of four words. As is shown below, Figure 37 demonstrates the linked list’s structure, and
Table 33, Table 34, Table 35, Table 36 provide the descriptions of linked lists.

9.9 Initialization
9.9.1 DMAC Initialization
The DMAC initialization should proceed as follows:
• Write to the DMAC Bus Mode Register (BMOD_REG) will set the Host bus’s access parameters.
• Write to the DMAC Interrupt Enable Register (IDINTEN) will mask any unnecessary interrupt causes.
• The software driver creates either the transmit or the receive descriptor list. Then, it writes to the DMAC
Descriptor List Base Address Register (DBADDR), providing the DMAC with the starting address of the list.
• The DMAC engine attempts to acquire descriptors from descriptor lists.
Espressif Systems
190
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
9. SD/MMC HOST CONTROLLER
9.9.2 DMAC Transmission Initialization
The DMAC transmission occurs as follows:
1. The Host sets up the elements (DES0-DES3) for transmission, and sets the OWN bit (DES0[31]). The Host
also prepares the data buffer.
2. The Host programs the write-data command in the CMD register in BIU.
3. The Host also programs the required transmit threshold (TX_WMARK field in FIFOTH register).
4. The DMAC engine fetches the descriptor and checks the OWN bit. If the OWN bit is not set, it means that
the host owns the descriptor. In this case, the DMAC enters a suspend-state and asserts the Descriptor
Unable interrupt in the IDSTS register. In such a case, the host needs to release the DMAC by writing any
value to PLDMND_REG.
5. It then waits for the Command Done (CD) bit and no errors from BIU, which indicates that a transfer can be
done.
6. Subsequently, the DMAC engine waits for a DMA interface request (dw_dma_req) from BIU. This request
will be generated, based on the programmed transmit-threshold value. For the last bytes of data which
cannot be accessed using a burst, single transfers are performed on the AHB Master Interface.
7. The DMAC fetches the transmit data from the data buffer in the Host memory and transfers them to FIFO
for transmission to card.
8. When data span across multiple descriptors, the DMAC fetches the next descriptor and extends its
operation using the following descriptor. The last descriptor bit indicates whether the data span multiple
descriptors or not.
9. When data transmission is complete, the status information is updated in the IDSTS register by setting the
Transmit Interrupt, if it has already been enabled. Also, the OWN bit is cleared by the DMAC by performing
a write transaction to DES0.
9.9.3 DMAC Reception Initialization
The DMAC reception occurs as follows:
1. The Host sets up the element (DES0-DES3) for reception, and sets the OWN bit (DES0[31]).
2. The Host programs the read-data command in the CMD register in BIU.
3. Then, the Host programs the required level of the receive-threshold (RX_WMARK field in FIFOTH register).
4. The DMAC engine fetches the descriptor and checks the OWN bit. If the OWN bit is not set, it means that
the host owns the descriptor. In this case, the DMA enters a suspend-state and asserts the Descriptor
Unable interrupt in the IDSTS register. In such a case, the host needs to release the DMAC by writing any
value to PLDMND_REG.
5. It then waits for the Command Done (CD) bit and no errors from BIU, which indicates that a transfer can be
done.
6. The DMAC engine then waits for a DMA interface request (dw_dma_req) from BIU. This request will be
generated, based on the programmed receive-threshold value. For the last bytes of the data which cannot
be accessed using a burst, single transfers are performed on the AHB.
7. The DMAC fetches the data from FIFO and transfers them to the Host memory.

8. When data span across multiple descriptors, the DMAC will fetch the next descriptor and extend its
operation using the following descriptor. The last descriptor bit indicates whether the data span multiple
descriptors or not.
9. When data reception is complete, the status information is updated in the IDSTS register by setting
Receive-Interrupt, if it has already been enabled. Also, the OWN bit is cleared by the DMAC by performing
a write-transaction to DES0.
9.10
Clock Phase Selection
If the setup time requirements for the input or output data signal are not met, users can specify the clock phase,
as shown in the figure below.
Figure 38: Clock Phase Selection
Please find detailed information on the clock phase selection register CLK_EDGE_SEL in Section
Registers.
9.11
Interrupt
Interrupts can be generated as a result of various events. The IDSTS register contains all the bits that might
cause an interrupt. The IDINTEN register contains an enable bit for each of the events that can cause an
interrupt.
There are two groups of summary interrupts, ”Normal” ones (bit8 NIS) and ”Abnormal” ones (bit9 AIS), as
outlined in the IDSTS register. Interrupts are cleared by writing 1 to the position of the corresponding bit. When all
the enabled interrupts within a group are cleared, the corresponding summary bit is also cleared. When both
summary bits are cleared, the interrupt signal dmac_intr_o is de-asserted (stops signalling).
Espressif Systems
192
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
9. SD/MMC HOST CONTROLLER
Interrupts are not queued up, and if a new interrupt-event occurs before the driver has responded to it, no
additional interrupts are generated. For example, the Receive Interrupt IDSTS[1] indicates that one or more data
were transferred to the Host buffer.
An interrupt is generated only once for concurrent events. The driver must scan the IDSTS register for the
interrupt cause.

CEATA_DEVICE_INTERRUPT_STATUS Software should appropriately write to this bit after the
power-on reset or any other reset to the CE-ATA device. After reset, the CE-ATA device’s interrupt
is usually disabled (nIEN = 1). If the host enables the CE-ATA device’s interrupt, then software
should set this bit. (R/W)
SEND_AUTO_STOP_CCSD Always set send_auto_stop_ccsd and send_ccsd bits together;
send_auto_stop_ccsd should not be set independently of send_ccsd. When set, SD/MMC automatically sends an internally-generated STOP command (CMD12) to the CE-ATA device. After
sending this internally-generated STOP command, the Auto Command Done (ACD) bit in RINTSTS
is set and an interrupt is generated for the host, in case the ACD interrupt is not masked. After sending the Command Completion Signal Disable (CCSD), SD/MMC automatically clears the
send_auto_stop_ccsd bit. (R/W)
SEND_CCSD When set, SD/MMC sends CCSD to the CE-ATA device. Software sets this bit only
if the current command is expecting CCS (that is, RW_BLK), and if interrupts are enabled for the
CE-ATA device. Once the CCSD pattern is sent to the device, SD/MMC automatically clears the
send_ccsd bit. It also sets the Command Done (CD) bit in the RINTSTS register, and generates
an interrupt for the host, in case the Command Done interrupt is not masked. NOTE: Once the
send_ccsd bit is set, it takes two card clock cycles to drive the CCSD on the CMD line. Due to this,
within the boundary conditions the CCSD may be sent to the CE-ATA device, even if the device
has signalled CCS. (R/W)
ABORT_READ_DATA After a suspend-command is issued during a read-operation, software polls the
card to find when the suspend-event occurred. Once the suspend-event has occurred, software
sets the bit which will reset the data state machine that is waiting for the next block of data. This
bit is automatically cleared once the data state machine is reset to idle. (R/W)
SEND_IRQ_RESPONSE Bit automatically clears once response is sent. To wait for MMC card interrupts, host issues CMD40 and waits for interrupt response from MMC card(s). In the meantime, if
host wants SD/MMC to exit waiting for interrupt state, it can set this bit, at which time SD/MMC
command state-machine sends CMD40 response on bus and returns to idle state. (R/W)

in number of card output clocks, i.e. cclk_out of the selected card.
NOTE: The software timer should be used if the timeout value is in the order of 100 ms. In this
case, read data timeout interrupt needs to be disabled. (R/W)
RESPONSE_TIMEOUT Response timeout value. Value is specified in terms of number of card output
clocks, i.e., cclk_out. (R/W)

START_CMD Start command. Once command is served by the CIU, this bit is automatically cleared.
When this bit is set, host should not attempt to write to any command registers. If a write is
attempted, hardware lock error is set in raw interrupt register. Once command is sent and a
response is received from SD_MMC_CEATA cards, Command Done bit is set in the raw interrupt
Register. (R/W)
USE_HOLE Use Hold Register. (R/W) 0: CMD and DATA sent to card bypassing HOLD Register; 1:
CMD and DATA sent to card through the HOLD Register.
CCS_EXPECTED Expected Command Completion Signal (CCS) configuration. (R/W)
0: Interrupts are not enabled in CE-ATA device (nIEN = 1 in ATA control register), or command
does not expect CCS from device.
1: Interrupts are enabled in CE-ATA device (nIEN = 0), and RW_BLK command expects command
completion signal from CE-ATA device.
If the command expects Command Completion Signal (CCS) from the CE-ATA device, the software
should set this control bit. SD/MMC sets Data Transfer Over (DTO) bit in RINTSTS register and
generates interrupt to host if Data Transfer Over interrupt is not masked.
READ_CEATA_DEVICE Read access flag. (R/W)
0: Host is not performing read access (RW_REG or RW_BLK)towards CE-ATA device
1: Host is performing read access (RW_REG or RW_BLK) towards CE-ATA device.
Software should set this bit to indicate that CE-ATA device is being accessed for read transfer.
This bit is used to disable read data timeout indication while performing CE-ATA read transfers.
Maximum value of I/O transmission delay can be no less than 10 seconds. SD/MMC should not
indicate read data timeout while waiting for data from CE-ATA device. (R/W)

UPDATE_CLOCK_REGISTERS_ONLY (R/W)
0: Normal command sequence.
1: Do not send commands, just update clock register value into card clock domain
Following register values are transferred into card clock domain: CLKDIV, CLRSRC, and CLKENA.
Changes card clocks (change frequency, truncate off or on, and set low-frequency mode). This
is provided in order to change clock frequency or stop clock without having to send command to
cards.
During normal command sequence, when update_clock_registers_only = 0, following control registers are transferred from BIU to CIU: CMD, CMDARG, TMOUT, CTYPE, BLKSIZ, and BYTCNT.
CIU uses new register values for new command sequence to card(s). When bit is set, there are no
Command Done interrupts because no command is sent to SD_MMC_CEATA cards.
CARD_NUMBER Card number in use. Represents physical slot number of card being accessed. In
MMC-Ver3.3-only mode, up to two cards are supported. In SD-only mode, up to two cards are
supported. (R/W)
SEND_INITIALIZATION (R/W)
0: Do not send initialization sequence (80 clocks of 1) before sending this command.
1: Send initialization sequence before sending this command.
After power on, 80 clocks must be sent to card for initialization before sending any commands to
card. Bit should be set while sending first command to card so that controller will initialize clocks
before sending command to card.
STOP_ABORT_CMD (R/W)
0: Neither stop nor abort command can stop current data transfer. If abort is sent to functionnumber currently selected or not in data-transfer mode, then bit should be set to 0.
1: Stop or abort command intended to stop current data transfer in progress. When open-ended
or predefined data transfer is in progress, and host issues stop or abort command to stop data
transfer, bit should be set so that command/data state-machines of CIU can return correctly to idle
state.

interrupt is generated instead of DMA request.During end of packet, interrupt is not generated if
threshold programming is larger than any remaining data. It is responsibility of host to read remaining bytes on seeing Data Transfer Done interrupt.In DMA mode, at end of packet, even if remaining
bytes are less than threshold, DMA request does single transfers to flush out any remaining bytes
before Data Transfer Done interrupt is set. (R/W)
TX_WMARK FIFO threshold watermark level when transmitting data to card. When FIFO data count

last interrupt, host is responsible for filling FIFO with only required remaining bytes (not before FIFO
is full or after CIU completes data transfers, because FIFO may not be empty). In DMA mode, at
end of packet, if last transfer is less than burst size, DMA controller does single cycles until required

Ethernet MAC
10.1
Overview
Features of Ethernet
By using the external Ethernet PHY (physical layer), ESP32 can send and receive data via Ethernet MAC (Media
Access Controller) according to the IEEE 802.3 standard, as Figure 39 shows. Ethernet is currently the most
commonly used network protocol that controls how data is transmitted over local- and wide-area networks,
abbreviated as LAN and WAN, respectively.
Figure 39: Ethernet MAC Functionality Overview
ESP32 MAC Ethernet complies with the following criteria:
• IEEE 802.3-2002 for Ethernet MAC
• IEEE 1588-2008 standard for specifying the accuracy of networked clock synchronization
• Two industry-standard interfaces conforming with IEEE 802.3-2002: Media-Independent Interface (MII) and
Reduced Media-Independent Interface (RMII).
Features of MAC Layer
• Support for a data transmission rate of 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s through an external PHY interface
• Communication with an external Fast Ethernet PHY through IEEE 802.3-compliant MII and RMII interfaces
• Support for:
– Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol in half-duplex mode
– IEEE 802.3x flow control in full-duplex mode
– operations in full-duplex mode, forwarding the received pause-control frame to the user application
– backpressure flow control in half-duplex mode
– If the flow control input signal disappears during a full-duplex operation, a pause frame with zero
pause time value is automatically transmitted.
• The Preamble and the Start Frame Delimiter (SFD) are inserted in the Transmit path, and deleted in the
Receive path.
• Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) and Pad can be controlled on a per-frame basis.
• The Pad is generated automatically, if data is below the minimum frame length.

10. ETHERNET MAC
• Programmable frame length supporting jumbo frames of up to 16 KB
• Programmable Inter-frame Gap (IFG) (40-96 bit times in steps of 8)
• Support for a variety of flexible address filtering modes:
– Up to eight 48-bit perfect address filters to mask each byte
– Up to eight 48-bit SA address comparison checks to mask each byte
– All multicast address frames can be transmitted
– All frames in mixed mode can be transmitted without being filtered for network monitoring
– A status report is attached each time all incoming packets are transmitted and filtered.
• Returning a 32-bit status for transmission and reception of packets respectively
• Separate transmission, reception, and control interfaces for the application
• Use of the Management Data Input/Output (MDIO) interface to configure and manage PHY devices
• Support for the offloading of received IPv4 and TCP packets encapsulated by an Ethernet frame in the
reception function
• Support for checking IPv4 header checksums, as well as TCP, UDP, or ICMP (Internet Control Message
Protocol) checksums encapsulated in IPv4/IPv6 packets in the enhanced reception function
• Support for Ethernet frame timestamps. (For details please refer to IEEE 1588-2008.) Each frame has a
64-bit timestamp when transmitted or received.
• Two sets of FIFOs: one 2 KB Tx FIFO with programmable threshold and one 2 KB Rx FIFO with
configurable threshold (64 bytes by default)
• When Rx FIFO stores multiple frames, the Receive Status Vector is inserted into the Rx FIFO after
transmitting an EOF (end of frame), so that the Rx FIFO does not need to store the Receive Status of these
frames.
• In store-and-forward mode, all error frames can be filtered during reception, but not forwarded to the
application.
• Under-sized good frames can be forwarded.
• Support for data statistics by generating pulses for lost or corrupted frames in the Rx FIFO due to an
overflow
• Support for store-and-forward mechanism when transmitting data to the MAC core
• Automatic re-transmission of collided frames during transmission (subject to certain conditions, see section
10.2.1.2)
• Discarding frames in cases of late collisions, excessive collisions, excessive deferrals, and under-run
conditions
• The Tx FIFO is flushed by software control.
• Calculating the IPv4 header checksum, as well as the TCP, UDP, or ICMP checksum, and then inserting
them into frames transmitted in store-and-forward mode.

ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
10. ETHERNET MAC
Figure 40: Ethernet Block Diagram
Ethernet MAC consists of the MAC-layer configuration register module and three layers: EMAC_CORE (MAC
Core Layer), EMAC_MTL (MAC Transition Layer), and EMAC_DMA (Direct Memory Access). Each of these three
layers has two directions: Tx and Rx. They are connected to the system through the Advanced
High-Performance Bus (AHB) and the Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB) on the chip. Off the chip, they
communicate with the external PHY through the MII and RMII interfaces to materialize an Ethernet
connection.
10.2
EMAC_CORE
The MAC supports many interfaces with the PHY chip. The PHY interface can be selected only once after reset.
The MAC communicates with the application side (DMA side), using the MAC Transmit Interface (MTI), MAC
Receive Interface (MRI) and the MAC Control Interface (MCI).
10.2.1 Transmit Operation
A transmit operation is initiated when the MTL Application pushes in data at the time a response signal is
asserted. When the SOF (start of frame) signal is detected, the MAC accepts the data and begins transmitting to
the RMII or MII. The time required to transmit the frame data to the RMII or MII, after the application initiates
transmission, varies, depending on delay factors like IFG delay, time to transmit Preamble or SFD (Start Frame
Delimiter), and any back-off delays in half-duplex mode. Until then, the MAC does not accept the data received
from MTL by de-asserting the ready signal.
After the EOF (end of frame) is transmitted to the MAC, the MAC completes the normal transmission and yields
the Transmit Status to the MTL. If a normal collision (in half-duplex mode) occurs during transmission, the MAC
makes valid the Transmit Status in the MTL. It then accepts and drops all further data until the next SOF is
received. The MTL block should retransmit the same frame from SOF upon observing a retry request (in the
Status) from the MAC.
The MAC issues an underflow status if the MTL is not able to provide the data continuously during transmission.
During the normal transmission of a frame from MTL, if the MAC receives an SOF without getting an EOF for the
previous frame, it ignores the SOF and considers the new frame as a continuation of the previous one.
Espressif Systems
216
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
10. ETHERNET MAC
10.2.1.1 Transmit Flow Control
In full-duplex mode, when the Transmit Flow Control Enable bit (TFE bit in the Flow Control Register) is set to 1,
the MAC will generate and send a pause frame, as needed. The pause frame is added and transmitted together
with the calculated CRC. The generation of pause frames can be initiated in two ways.
When the application sets the Flow Control Busy bit (FCB bit in the Flow Control Register) to 1, or when the Rx
FIFO is full, a pause frame is transmitted.
• If an application has requested flow control by setting the FCB bit in the Flow Control Register to 1, the MAC
will generate and send a single pause frame. The pause time value in the generated frame is the pause time
value programmed in the Flow Control Register. To extend or end the pause time before the time specified
in the previously transmitted pause frame, the application program must configure the pause time value in
the Flow Control Register to the appropriate value and, then, request another pause frame transmission.
• If the application has requested flow control when the Rx FIFO is full, the MAC will generate and transmit a
pause frame. The value of the pause time of the generated frame is the pause time value programmed in
the Flow Control Register. If the Rx FIFO remains full during the configurable interval, which is determined
by the Pause Low Threshold bit (PLT) in the Flow Control Register before the pause time expires, a second
pause frame will be transmitted. As long as the Rx FIFO remains full, the process repeats itself. If the FIFO
is no longer full before the sample time, the MAC will send a pause frame with zero pause time, indicating
to the remote end that the Rx buffer is ready to receive the new data frame.
10.2.1.2 Retransmission During a Collision
In half-duplex mode, a collision may occur on the MAC line interface when frames are transmitted to the MAC.
The MAC may even give a status to indicate a retry before the end of the frame is received. The retransmission is
then enabled and the frame is popped out from the FIFO. When more than 96 bytes are transmitted to the MAC
core, the FIFO controller frees the space in the FIFO, allowing the DMA to push more data into FIFO. This means
that data cannot be retransmitted after the threshold is exceeded or when the MAC core indicates that a late
collision has occurred.
The MAC transmitter may abort the transmission of a frame because of collision, Tx FIFO underflow, loss of
carrier, jabber timeout, no carrier, excessive deferral, and late collision. When frame transmission is aborted
because of collision, the MAC requests retransmission of the frame.
10.2.2 Receive Operation
A receive operation is initiated when the MAC detects an SFD on the RMII or MII. The MAC strips the Preamble
and SFD before processing the frame. The header fields are checked for the filtering and the FCS (Frame Check
Sequence) field used to verify the CRC for the frame. The received frame is stored in a shallow buffer until the
address filtering is performed. The frame is dropped in the MAC if it fails the address filtering.
The frame received by the MAC will be pushed into the Rx FIFO. Once the FIFO status exceeds the Receive
Threshold, configured by the Receive Threshold Control (RTC) bit in the Operation Mode register, the DMA can
initiate a preconfigured burst transmission to the AHB interface.
In the default pass-through mode, when the FIFO receives a complete packet or 64 bytes configured by the RTC
bit in the Operation Mode Register, the data pops up and its availability is notified to the DMA. After the DMA
initiates the transmission to the AHB interface, the data transmission continues from the FIFO until the complete
Espressif Systems
217
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
10. ETHERNET MAC
packet is transmitted. Upon completing transmitting the EOF, the status word will pop up and be transmitted to
the DMA controller.
In the Rx FIFO Store-and-Forward mode (configured through the RSF or Receive Store and Forward bit in the
Operation Mode Register), only the valid frames are read and forwarded to the application. In the passthrough
mode, error frames are not discarded because the error status is received at the end of the frame. The start of
frame will have been read from the FIFO at that point.
10.2.2.1 Reception Protocol
After the receive module receives the packets, the Preamble and SFD of the received frames are removed. When
the SFD is detected, the MAC starts sending Ethernet frame data to the Rx FIFO, starting at the first byte
(destination address) following the SFD. This timestamp is passed on to the application, unless the MAC filters
out and drops the frame.
If the received frame length/type is less than 0x600 and the automatic CRC/Pad removal option is programmed
for the MAC, the MAC will send frame data to the Rx FIFO (the amount of data does not exceed the number
specified in the length/type field). Then MAC begins discarding the remaining section, including the FCS field. If
the frame length/type is greater than, or equal to, 0x600, the MAC will send all received Ethernet frame data to
the Rx FIFO, regardless of the programmed value of the automatic CRC removal option. By default, the MAC
watchdog timer is enabled, meaning that frames, including DA, SA, LT, data, pad and FCS, which exceed 2048
bytes, are cut off. This function can be disabled by programming the Watchdog Disable (WD) bit in the MAC
Configuration Register. However, even if the watchdog timer is disabled, frames longer than 16 KB will be cut off
and the watchdog timeout status will be given.
10.2.2.2 Receive Frame Controller
If the RA (Receive All) bit in the MAC Frame Filter Register is reset, the MAC will filter frames based on the
destination and source addresses. If the application decides not to receive any bad frames, such as runt frames
and CRC error frames, another level of filtering is needed. When a frame fails the filtering, the frame is discarded
and is not transmitted to the application. When the filter parameters are changed dynamically, if a frame fails the
DA and SA filterings, the remaining part of the frame is discarded and the Receive Status word is updated
immediately and, therefore, the zero frame length bit, CRC error bit, and runt frame error bit are set to 1. This
indicates that the frame has failed the filtering.
10.2.2.3 Receive Flow Control
The MAC will detect the received pause frame and pause transmission of frames for a specified delay within the
received pause frame (in full-duplex mode only). The Pause Frame Detect Function can be enabled or disabled
by the RFCE (Receive Flow Control Enable) bit in the Flow Control Register. When receive flow control is enabled,
it starts monitoring whether the destination address of the received frame matches the multicast address of the
control frame (0x0180 C200 0001). If a match is detected (i.e. the destination address of the received frame
matches the destination address of the reserved control frame), the MAC will determine whether to transmit the
received control frame to the application, according to the PCF (Pass Control Frames) bit in the Frame Filter
Register.
Espressif Systems
218
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
10. ETHERNET MAC
The MAC will also decode the type, the opcode, and the pause timer field of the Receive Control Frame. If the
value of the status byte counter is 64 bits and there are no CRC errors, the MAC transmitter will halt the
transmission of any data frame. The duration of the pause is the decoded pause time value multiplied by the
interval (which is 64 bytes for both 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mb/s modes). At the same time, if another pause frame of
zero pause time is detected, the MAC will reset the pause time to manage the new pause request.
If the type field (0x8808), the opcode (0x00001), and the byte length (64 bytes) of the received control frame are
not 0x8808, 0x00001, and 64 bytes, respectively, or if there is a CRC error, the MAC will not generate a
pause.
If a pause frame has a multicast destination address, the MAC filters the frame, according to the address
matching.
For pause frames with a unicast destination address, the MAC checks whether the DA matches the content of
the EMACADDR0 Register, and whether the Unicast Pause Frame Detect (UPFD) bit in the Flow Control Register
is set to 1. The Pass Control Frames (PCF) bits in the Frame Filter Register [7:6] control the filtering of frames and
addresses.
10.2.2.4 Reception of Multiple Frames
Since the status is available immediately after the data is received. Frames can be stored there, as long as the
FIFO is not full.
10.2.2.5 Error Handling
If the Rx FIFO is full before receiving the EOF data from the MAC, an overflow will be generated and the entire
frame will be discarded. In fact, status bit RDES0[11] will indicate that this frame is partial due to an overflow, and
that it should be discarded.
If the function that corresponds to the Flush Transmit FIFO (FTF) bit and the Forward Undersized Good Frames
(FUGF) bit in the Operation Mode Register is enabled, the Rx FIFO can filter error frames and runt frames. If the
receive FIFO is configured to operate in store-and-forward mode, all error frames will be filtered and
discarded.
In passthrough mode, if a frame’s status and length are available when reading a SOF from the Rx FIFO, the
entire error frame can be discarded. DMA can clear the error frame being read from the FIFO by enabling the
Receive Frame Clear bit. The data transmission to the application (DMA) will then stop, and the remaining frames
will be read internally and discarded. If FIFO is available, the transmission of the next frame will be initiated.
10.2.2.6 Receive Status Word
After receiving the Ethernet frames, the MAC outputs the receive status to the application. The detailed
description of the receive status is the same as that which is configured by bit [31:0] in RDES0.
10.3
MAC Interrupt Controller
The MAC core can generate interrupts due to various events.
Espressif Systems
219
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
10. ETHERNET MAC
The interrupt register bits only indicate various interrupt events. To clear the interrupts, the corresponding status
register and other registers must be read. An Interrupt Status Register describes the events that prompt the MAC
core to generate interrupts. Each interrupt event can be prevented by setting the corresponding mask bit in the
Interrupt Mask Register to 1. For example, if bit3 of the interrupt register is set high, it indicates that a magic
packet or Wake-on-LAN frame has been received in Power-down mode. The PMT Control and Status register
must be read to clear this interrupt event.

Address filtering will check the destination and source addresses of all received frames and report the address
filtering status accordingly. For example, filtered frames can be identified either as multicast or broadcast.The
address check, then, is based on the parameters selected by the application (Frame Filter Registers).
Physical (MAC) addresses are used for address checking during address filtering.
10.4.1 Unicast Destination Address Filtering
The MAC supports up to 8 MAC addresses for perfect filtering of unicast addresses. If a perfect filtering is
selected (by resetting bit[1] in the Frame Filter Register), the MAC compares all 48 bits of the received unicast
address with the programmed MAC address to determine if there is a match. By default, EMACADDR0 is always
enabled, and the other addresses (EMACADDR0 ~ EMACADDR7) are selected by a separate enable bit. When
the individual bytes of the other addresses (EMACADDR0 ~ EMACADDR7) are compared with the DA bytes
received, the latter can be masked by setting the corresponding Mask Byte Control bit in the register to 1. This
facilitates the DA group address filtering.
10.4.2 Multicast Destination Address Filtering
The MAC can be programmed to pass all multicast frames by setting the Pass All Multicast (PAM) bit in the
Frame Filter Register to 1. If the PAM bit is reset, the MAC will filter multicast addresses, according to Bit[2] in the
Frame Filter Register.
In perfect filtering mode, the multicast address is compared with the programmed MAC Destination Address
Registers (EMACADDR0 ~ EMACADDR7). Group address filtering is also supported.
10.4.3 Broadcast Address Filtering
The MAC does not filter any broadcast frames in the default mode. However, if the MAC is programmed to reject
all broadcast frames, which can happen by setting the Disable Broadcast Frames (DBF) bit in the Frame Filter
Register to 1, all broadcast frames will be discarded.
10.4.4 Unicast Source Address Filtering
The MAC may also perform a perfect filtering based on the source address field of the received frame. By default,
the Address Filtering Module (AFM) compares the Source Address (SA) field with the values programmed in the
SA register. By setting Bit[30] in the SA register to 1, the MAC Address Register (EMACADDR0 - EMACADDR7)
can be configured to contain SA, instead of Destination Address (DA), for filtering. Group filtering with SA is also
supported. If the Source Address Filter (SAF) enable bit in the Frame Filter Register is set to 1, the MAC discards
frames that do not pass the SA filtering. Otherwise, the result of SA filtering is given as a status bit in the Receive
Status word (Please refer to Table 46).
Espressif Systems

ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
10. ETHERNET MAC
When the SAF enable bit is set to 1, the result of the SA filtering and DA filtering is AND’ed to determine whether
or not to forward the frame. Any frame that fails to pass will be discarded. Frames need to pass both filterings in
order to be forwarded to the application.
10.4.5 Inverse Filtering Operation
For both destination address (DA) and source address (SA) filtering, you can invert the results matched through
the filtering at the final output. The inverse filtering of DA and SA are controlled by the DAIF and SAIF bits,
respectively, in the Frame Filter Register. The DAIF bit applies to both unicast and multicast DA frames. When
DAIF is set to 1, the result of unicast or multicast destination address filtering will be inverted. Similarly, when the
SAIF bit is set to 1, the result of unicast SA filtering is reversed.
The following two tables summarize the destination address and source address filtering, based on the type of
the frames received.

10.4.6 Good Transmitted Frames and Received Frames
A frame successfully transmitted is considered a ”good frame”. In other words, a transmitted frame is considered
to be good, if the frame transmission is not aborted due to the following errors:
• Jabber timeout
• No carrier or loss of carrier
• Late collision
• Frame underflow
• Excessive deferral
• Excessive collision
The received frames are considered ”good frames”, if there are not any of the following errors:
• CRC error
• Runt frames (frames shorter than 64 bytes)
• Alignment error (in 10/100 Mbps modes only)
• Length error (non-type frames only)
• Frame size over the maximum size (for non-type frames over the maximum frame size only)�
• MII_RXER input error
The maximum frame size depends on the frame type:
• The maximum size of untagged frames = 1518 bytes
• The maximum size of VLAN frames = 1522 bytes

EMAC_MTL (MAC Transaction Layer)
The MAC Transaction Layer provides FIFO memory to buffer and regulates the frames between the application
system memory and the MAC. It also enables the data to be transmitted between the application clock domain
and the MAC clock domains. The MTL layer has two data paths, namely the Transmit path and the Receive path.
The data path for both directions is 32-bit wide and operates with a simple FIFO protocol.
10.6
PHY Interface
The DMA and the Host driver communicate through two data structures:
• Control and Status Registers (CSR)
• Descriptor lists and data buffers
For details please refer to Register Summary and Linked List Descriptors.
10.6.1 MII (Media Independent Interface)
Media Independent Interface (MII) defines the interconnection between MAC sublayers and PHYs at the data
transmission rate of 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s.
10.6.1.1 Interface Signals Between MII and PHY
Interface signals between MII and PHY are shown in Figure 41.
Figure 41: MII Interface
MII Interface Signal Description:
• MII_TX_CLK: TX clock signal. This signal provides the reference timing for TX data transmission. The
frequencies are divided into two types: 2.5 MHz at a data transmission rate of 10 Mbit/s, and 25 MHz at
100 Mbit/s.
• MII_TXD[3:0]: Transmit data signal in groups of four, syn-driven by the MAC sub-layer, and valid only when
the MII_TX_EN signal is valid. MII_TXD[0] is the lowest significant bit and MII_TXD[3] is the highest
significant bit. When the signal MII_TX_EN is pulled low, sending data does not have any effect on the PHY.
Espressif Systems
223
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
10. ETHERNET MAC
• MII_TX_EN: Transmit data enable signal. This signal indicates that the MAC is currently sending nibbles (4
bits) for the MII. This signal must be synchronized with the first nibble of the header (MII_TX_CLK) and must
be synchronized when all nibbles to be transmitted are sent to the MII.
• MII_RX_CLK: RX clock signal. This signal provides the reference timing for RX data transmission. The
frequencies are divided into two types: 2.5 MHz at the data transmission rate of 10 Mbit/s, and 25 MHz at
100 Mbit/s.
• MII_RXD[3:0]: Receive data signal in groups of four, syn-driven by the PHY, and valid only when MII_RX_DV
signal is valid. MII_RXD[0] is the lowest significant bit and MII_RXD[3] is the highest significant bit. When
MII_RX_DV is disabled and MII_RX_ER is enabled, the specific MII_RXD[3:0] value represents specific
information from the PHY.
• MII_RX_DV: Receive data valid signal. This signal indicates that the PHY is currently receiving the recovered
and decoded nibble that will be transmitted to the MII. This signal must be synchronized with the first nibble
of the recovered frame (MII_RX_CLK) and remain synchronized till the last nibble of the recovered frame.
This signal must be disabled before the first clock cycle following the last nibble. In order to receive the
frame correctly, the MII_RX_DV signal must cover the frame to be received over the time range, starting no
later than when the SFD field appears.
• MII_CRS: Carrier sense signal. When the transmitting or receiving medium is in the non-idle state, the
signal is enabled by the PHY. When the transmitting or receiving medium is in the idle state, the signal is
disabled by the PHY. The PHY must ensure that the MII_CRS signal remains valid under conflicting
conditions. This signal does not need to be synchronized with the TX and RX clocks. In full-duplex mode,
this signal is insignificant.
• MII_COL: Collision detection signal. After a collision is detected on the medium, the PHY must immediately
enable the collision detection signal, and the collision detection signal must remain active as long as a
condition for collision exists. This signal does not need to be synchronized with the TX and RX clocks. In
full-duplex mode, this signal is meaningless.
• MII_RX_ER: Receive error signal. The signal must remain for one or more cycles (MII_RX_CLK) to indicate
to the MAC sublayer that an error has been detected somewhere in the frame.
• MDIO and MDC: Management Data Input/Output and Management Data Clock. The two signals constitute
a serial bus defined for the Ethernet family of IEEE 802.3 standards, used to transfer control and data
information to the PHY, see section Station Management Agent (SMA) Interface.
10.6.1.2 MII Clock
In MII mode, there are two directions of clock, Tx and Rx clocks in the interface between MII and the PHY.
MII_TX_CLK is used to synchronize the TX data, and MII_RX_CLK is used to synchronize the RX data. The
MII_RX_CLK clock is provided by the PHY. The MII_TX_CLK is provided by the chip’s internal PLL or external
crystal oscillator. For details regarding Figure 42, please refer to the clock-related registers in Register

10.6.2.1 RMII Interface Signal Description
The Reduced Media-Independent Interface (RMII) specification reduces the number of pins between the
microcontroller’s external peripherals and the external PHY at a data transmission rate of 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s.
According to the IEEE 802.3u standard, MII includes 16 pins that contain data and control signals. The RMII
specification reduces 62.5% of the pins to the number of seven.
RMII has the following features:
• Support for an operating rate of 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s
• The reference clock frequency must be 50 MHz.

• The same reference clock must be provided externally both to the MAC and the external Ethernet PHY. It
provides independent 2-bit-wide Tx and Rx data paths.
10.6.2.2 RMII Clock
The configuration of the RMII clock is as figure 44 shows.
Figure 44: RMII Clock
10.6.3 Station Management Agent (SMA) Interface
As Figure 42 shows, the MAC uses MDC and MDIO signals to transfer control and data information to the PHY.
The maximum clock frequency is 2.5 MHz. The clock is generated from the application clock by a clock divider.
The PHY transmits register data during a write/read operation through the MDIO. This signal is driven
synchronously to the MDC clock.
Please refer to Register Summary for details about the EMII Address Register and the EMII Data Register.
10.7
Ethernet DMA Features
The DMA has independent Transmit and Receive engines, and a CSR (Control and Status Registers) space. The
Transmit engine transfers data from the system memory to the device port (MTL), while the Receive engine
transmits data from the device port to the system memory. The controller uses descriptors to efficiently move
data from source to destination with minimal Host CPU intervention. The DMA is designed for packet-oriented
data transmission, such as frames in Ethernet. The controller can be programmed to interrupt the Host CPU for
normal situations, such as the completion of frame transmission or reception, or when errors occur.

transmission or when the buffers allocated to the descriptor are
empty. The ownership bit of the First Descriptor of the frame should
be set after all subsequent descriptors belonging to the same frame
have been set. This avoids a possible race condition between fetching a descriptor and the driver setting an ownership bit.
When set, this bit sets the Transmit Interrupt (Register 5[0]) after the

TTSE: Transmit Timestamp
Enable
When set, this bit enables IEEE1588 hardware timestamping for the
transmit frame referenced by the descriptor. This field is valid only
when the First Segment control bit (TDES0[28]) is set.
When set, the MAC replaces the last four bytes of the transmitted
packet with recalculated CRC bytes. The host should ensure that
[24]
CRCR: CRC Replacement
the CRC bytes are present in the frame being transmitted from the

(TDES0[28]) is set. In addition, CRC replacement is done only when
Bit TDES0[27] is set to 1.
These bits control the checksum calculation and insertion. The following list describes the bit encoding:

When set, this bit indicates that the MAC transmitter detected an
error in the IP datagram header. The transmitter checks the header
length in the IPv4 packet against the number of header bytes received from the application, and indicates an error status if there
is a mismatch. For IPv6 frames, a header error is reported if the
main header length is not 40 bytes. Furthermore, the Ethernet

LE: Length Error
ceived and that the Length/Type field does not match. This bit is
valid only when the Frame Type (RDES0[5]) bit is reset.
[11]
OE: Overflow Error
When set, this bit indicates that the received frame was damaged
because of buffer overflow in MTL.
When set, this bit indicates that the frame to which this descriptor
[10]
VLAN: VLAN Tag
is pointing is a VLAN frame tagged by the MAC. The VLAN tagging
depends on checking the VLAN fields of the received frame based
on the Register (VLAN Tag Register) settings.
When set, this bit indicates that this descriptor contains the first
buffer of the frame. If the size of the first buffer is 0, the second
[9]
FS: First Descriptor
buffer contains the beginning of the frame. If the size of the second
buffer is also 0, the next Descriptor contains the beginning of the
frame.
[8]
LS: Last Descriptor
When set, this bit indicates that the buffers pointed to by this descriptor are the last buffers of the frame.
When the Advanced Timestamp feature is present, and when this
bit set, it indicates that a snapshot of the Timestamp is written in
descriptor words 6 (RDES6) and 7 (RDES7). This is valid only when
the Last Descriptor bit (RDES0[8]) is set.
When IP Checksum Engine (Type 1) is selected, this bit, if set, indicates one of the following:
Timestamp Available,
[7]
IP Checksum Error (Type1),
or Giant Frame
• The 16-bit IPv4 header checksum calculated by the core did
not match the received checksum bytes.
• The header checksum checking is bypassed for non-IPv4
frames.
Otherwise, this bit, when set, indicates the Giant Frame Status. Giant frames are larger than 1,518 bytes (or 1,522 bytes for VLAN or
2,000 bytes when Bit[27] of the MAC Configuration register is set),
normal frames and larger-than-9,018-byte (9,022-byte for VLAN)
frames when Jumbo Frame processing is enabled.

LC: Late Collision
When set, this bit indicates that a late collision has occurred while
receiving the frame in the half-duplex mode.
When set, this bit indicates that the Receive Frame is an Ethernet-
[5]
FT: Frame Type
type frame (the LT field is greater than, or equal to, 1,536). When
this bit is reset, it indicates that the received frame is an IEEE 802.3

When set, this bit indicates that a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)
[1]
CE: CRC Error
Error occurred on the received frame. This field is valid only when
the Last Descriptor (RDES0[8]) is set.
When either Advanced Timestamp or IP Checksum Offload (Type
2) is present, this bit, when set, indicates that the extended status
is available in descriptor word 4 (RDES4). This is valid only when
the Last Descriptor bit (RDES0[8]) is set. This bit is invalid when Bit
30 is set.
[0]
Extended Status Available/
Rx MAC Address
When IP Checksum Offload (Type 2) is present, this bit is set even
when the IP Checksum Offload engine bypasses the processing of
the received frame. The bypassing may be because of a non-IP
frame or an IP frame with a non-TCP/UDP/ICMP payload.
When the Advance Timestamp Feature or the IPC Full Offload is not
selected, this bit indicates an Rx MAC Address status. When set,
this bit indicates that the Rx MAC Address registers value (1 to 15)
matched the frame’s DA field. When reset, this bit indicates that the
Rx MAC Address Register 0 value matched the DA field.

DMAMIXEDBURST When this bit is set high and the FB bit is low, the AHB master interface starts
all bursts of a length more than 16 with INCR (undefined burst), whereas it reverts to fixed burst
transfers (INCRx and SINGLE) for burst length of 16 and less. (R/W)
DMAADDRALIBEA When this bit is set high and the FB bit is 1, the AHB interface generates all bursts
aligned to the start address LS bits. If the FB bit is 0, the first burst (accessing the start address of
data buffer) is not aligned, but subsequent bursts are aligned to the address. (R/W)
PBLX8_MODE When set high, this bit multiplies the programmed PBL value (Bits[22:17] and
Bits[13:8]) eight times. Therefore, the DMA transfers the data in 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256
beats depending on the PBL value. (R/W)
USE_SEP_PBL When set high, this bit configures the Rx DMA to use the value configured in
Bits[22:17] as PBL. The PBL value in Bits[13:8] is applicable only to the Tx DMA operations. When
reset to low, the PBL value in Bits[13:8] is applicable for both DMA engines. (R/W)
RX_DMA_PBL This field indicates the maximum number of beats to be transferred in one Rx DMA
transaction. This is the maximum value that is used in a single block Read or Write.The Rx DMA
always attempts to burst as specified in the RPBL bit each time it starts a burst transfer on the
host bus. You can program RPBL with values of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32. Any other value results in
undefined behavior. This field is valid and applicable only when USP is set high. (R/W)
FIXED_BURST This bit controls whether the AHB master interface performs fixed burst transfers or
not. When set, the AHB interface uses only SINGLE, INCR4, INCR8, or INCR16 during start of
the normal burst transfers. When reset, the AHB interface uses SINGLE and INCR burst transfer
operations. (R/W)
PRI_RATIO These bits control the priority ratio in the weighted round-robin arbitration between the
Rx DMA and Tx DMA. These bits are valid only when Bit 1 (DA) is reset. The priority ratio Rx:Tx
represented by each bit: (R/W)
• 2’b00 — 1: 1
• 2’b01 — 2: 0
• 2’b10 — 3: 1

PROG_BURST_LEN These bits indicate the maximum number of beats to be transferred in one DMA
transaction. If the number of beats to be transferred is more than 32, then perform the following
steps: 1. Set the PBLx8 mode; 2. Set the PBL. (R/W)
ALT_DESC_SIZE When set, the size of the alternate descriptor increases to 32 bytes. (R/W)
DESC_SKIP_LEN This bit specifies the number of Word to skip between two unchained descriptors.
The address skipping starts from the end of current descriptor to the start of next descriptor. When
the DSL value is equal to zero, the descriptor table is taken as contiguous by the DMA in Ring mode.

paths.1’b0: weighted round-robin with RX:TX or TX:RX, priority specified in PR (bit[15:14]); 1’b1
Fixed priority (Rx priority to Tx). (R/W)
SW_RST When this bit is set, the MAC DMA Controller resets the logic and all internal registers of the
MAC. It is cleared automatically after the reset operation is complete in all of the ETH_MAC clock
domains. Before reprogramming any register of the ETH_MAC, you should read a zero (0) value in
this bit. (R/WS/SC)

NORM_INT_SUMM Normal Interrupt Summary bit value is the logical OR of the following bits when
the corresponding interrupt bits are enabled in Interrupt Enable Register:(R/SS/WC)
• Bit[0]: Transmit Interrupt.
• Bit[2]: Transmit Buffer Unavailable.
• Bit[6]: Receive Interrupt.
• Bit[14]: Early Receive Interrupt. Only unmasked bits affect the Normal Interrupt Summary bit.
This is a sticky bit and must be cleared (by writing 1 to this bit) each time a corresponding bit,
which causes NIS to be set, is cleared.
ABN_INT_SUMM Abnormal Interrupt Summary bit value is the logical OR of the following when the
corresponding interrupt bits are enabled in Interrupt Enable Register: (R/SS/WC)
• Bit[1]: Transmit Process Stopped.
• Bit[3]: Transmit Jabber Timeout.
• Bit[4]: Receive FIFO Overflow.
• Bit[5]: Transmit Underflow.
• Bit[7]: Receive Buffer Unavailable. Bit[8]: Receive Process Stopped.
• Bit[9]: Receive Watchdog Timeout.
• Bit[10]: Early Transmit Interrupt.
• Bit[13]: Fatal Bus Error. Only unmasked bits affect the Abnormal Interrupt Summary bit. This
is a sticky bit and must be cleared (by writing 1 to this bit) each time a corresponding bit,
which causes AIS to be set, is cleared.
EARLY_RECV_INT This bit indicates that the DMA filled the first data buffer of the packet. This bit is
cleared when the software writes 1 to this bit or when Bit[6] (RI) of this register is set (whichever
occurs earlier). (R/SS/WC)
FATAL_BUS_ERR_INT This bit indicates that a bus error occurred, as described in Bits [25:23]. When
this bit is set, the corresponding DMA engine disables all of its bus accesses. (R/SS/WC)
EARLY_TRANS_INT This bit indicates that the frame to be transmitted is fully transferred to the MTL
Transmit FIFO. (R/SS/WC)
RECV_WDT_TO When set, this bit indicates that the Receive Watchdog Timer expired while receiving
the current frame and the current frame is truncated after the watchdog timeout. (R/SS/WC)

RECV_PROC_STOP This bit is asserted when the Receive Process enters the Stopped state.
(R/SS/WC)
RECV_BUF_UNAVAIL This bit indicates that the host owns the Next Descriptor in the Receive List and
the DMA cannot acquire it. The Receive Process is suspended. To resume processing Receive
descriptors, the host should change the ownership of the descriptor and issue a Receive Poll
Demand command. If no Receive Poll Demand is issued, the Receive Process resumes when
the next recognized incoming frame is received. This bit is set only when the previous Receive
Descriptor is owned by the DMA. (R/SS/WC)
RECV_INT This bit indicates that the frame reception is complete. When reception is complete, the
Bit[31] of RDES1 (Disable Interrupt on Completion) is reset in the last Descriptor, and the specific
frame status information is updated in the descriptor. The reception remains in the Running state.
(R/SS/WC)
TRANS_UNDFLOW This bit indicates that the Transmit Buffer had an Underflow during frame transmission. Transmission is suspended and an Underflow Error TDES0[1] is set. (R/SS/WC)
RECV_OVFLOW This bit indicates that the Receive Buffer had an Overflow during frame reception. If the partial frame is transferred to the application, the overflow status is set in RDES0[11].
(R/SS/WC)
TRANS_JABBER_TO This bit indicates that the Transmit Jabber Timer expired, which happens when
the frame size exceeds 2,048 (10,240 bytes when the Jumbo frame is enabled). When the Jabber
Timeout occurs, the transmission process is aborted and placed in the Stopped state. This causes
the Transmit Jabber Timeout TDES0[14] flag to assert. (R/SS/WC)
TRANS_BUF_UNAVAIL This bit indicates that the host owns the Next Descriptor in the Transmit
List and the DMA cannot acquire it. Transmission is suspended. Bits[22:20] explain the Transmit
Process state transitions. To resume processing Transmit descriptors, the host should change
the ownership of the descriptor by setting TDES0[31] and then issue a Transmit Poll Demand
command. (R/SS/WC)
TRANS_PROC_STOP This bit is set when the transmission is stopped. (R/SS/WC)
TRANS_INT This bit indicates that the frame transmission is complete. When transmission is complete, Bit[31] (OWN) of TDES0 is reset, and the specific frame status information is updated in the
descriptor. (R/SS/WC)

SAIRC This field controls the source address insertion or replacement for all transmitted frames.
Bit[30] specifies which MAC Address register (0 or 1) is used for source address insertion or replacement based on the values of Bits [29:28]: (R/W)
• 2’b0x: The input signals mti_sa_ctrl_i and ati_sa_ctrl_i control the SA field generation.
• 2’b10: If Bit[30] is set to 0, the MAC inserts the content of the MAC Address 0 registers in
the SA field of all transmitted frames. If Bit[30] is set to 1 the MAC inserts the content of the
MAC Address 1 registers in the SA field of all transmitted frames.
• 2’b11: If Bit[30] is set to 0, the MAC replaces the content of the MAC Address 0 registers in
the SA field of all transmitted frames. If Bit[30] is set to 1, the MAC replaces the content of
the MAC Address 1 registers in the SA field of all transmitted frames.
ASS2KP When set, the MAC considers all frames, with up to 2,000 bytes length, as normal packets.
When Bit[20] (JE) is not set, the MAC considers all received frames of size more than 2K bytes
as Giant frames. When this bit is reset and Bit[20] (JE) is not set, the MAC considers all received
frames of size more than 1,518 bytes (1,522 bytes for tagged) as Giant frames. When Bit[20] is
set, setting this bit has no effect on Giant Frame status. (R/W)
EMACWATCHDOG When this bit is set, the MAC disables the watchdog timer on the receiver. The
MAC can receive frames of up to 16,383 bytes. When this bit is reset, the MAC does not allow a
receive frame which more than 2,048 bytes (10,240 if JE is set high) or the value programmed in
Register (Watchdog Timeout Register). The MAC cuts off any bytes received after the watchdog
limit number of bytes. (R/W)
EMACJABBER When this bit is set, the MAC disables the jabber timer on the transmitter. The MAC
can transfer frames of up to 16,383 bytes. When this bit is reset, the MAC cuts off the transmitter if the application sends out more than 2,048 bytes of data (10,240 if JE is set high) during
transmission. (R/W)
EMACJUMBOFRAME When this bit is set, the MAC allows Jumbo frames of 9,018 bytes (9,022
bytes for VLAN tagged frames) without reporting a giant frame error in the receive frame status.

EMACINTERFRAMEGAP These bits control the minimum IFG between frames during transmission.
(R/W)
• 3’b000: 96 bit times.
• 3’b001: 88 bit times.
• 3’b010: 80 bit times.
• 3’b111: 40 bit times. In the half-duplex mode, the minimum IFG can be configured only for
64 bit times (IFG = 100). Lower values are not considered.
EMACDISABLECRS When set high, this bit makes the MAC transmitter ignore the MII CRS signal
during frame transmission in the half-duplex mode. This request results in no errors generated
because of Loss of Carrier or No Carrier during such transmission. When this bit is low, the MAC
transmitter generates such errors because of Carrier Sense and can even abort the transmissions.
(R/W)
EMACMII This bit selects the Ethernet line speed. It should be set to 1 for 10 or 100 Mbps operations.
In 10 or 100 Mbps operations, this bit, along with FES bit, it selects the exact linespeed. In the
10/100 Mbps-only operations, the bit is always 1. (R/W)
EMACFESPEED This bit selects the speed in the MII, RMII interface. 0: 10 Mbps; 1: 100 Mbps.
(R/W)
EMACRXOWN When this bit is set, the MAC disables the reception of frames when the TX_EN is
asserted in the half-duplex mode. When this bit is reset, the MAC receives all packets that are
given by the PHY while transmitting. This bit is not applicable if the MAC is operating in the fullduplex mode. (R/W)
EMACLOOPBACK When this bit is set, the MAC operates in the loopback mode MII. The MII Receive
clock input (CLK_RX) is required for the loopback to work properly, because the transmit clock is
not looped-back internally. (R/W)
EMACDUPLEX When this bit is set, the MAC operates in the full-duplex mode where it can transmit
and receive simultaneously. This bit is read only with default value of 1’b1 in the full-duplex-mode.
(R/W)
EMACRXIPCOFFLOAD When this bit is set, the MAC calculates the 16-bit one’s complement of the
one’s complement sum of all received Ethernet frame payloads. It also checks whether the IPv4
Header checksum (assumed to be bytes 25/26 or 29/30 (VLAN-tagged) of the received Ethernet
frame) is correct for the received frame and gives the status in the receive status word. The MAC
also appends the 16-bit checksum calculated for the IP header datagram payload (bytes after the
IPv4 header) and appends it to the Ethernet frame transferred to the application (when Type 2 COE
is deselected). When this bit is reset, this function is disabled. (R/W)

EMACRETRY When this bit is set, the MAC attempts only one transmission. When a collision occurs
on the MII interface, the MAC ignores the current frame transmission and reports a Frame Abort
with excessive collision error in the transmit frame status. When this bit is reset, the MAC attempts
retries based on the settings of the BL field (Bits [6:5]). This bit is applicable only in the half-duplex
mode. (R/W)
EMACPADCRCSTRIP When this bit is set, the MAC strips the Pad or FCS field on the incoming
frames only if the value of the length field is less than 1,536 bytes. All received frames with length
field greater than or equal to 1,536 bytes are passed to the application without stripping the Pad
or FCS field. When this bit is reset, the MAC passes all incoming frames, without modifying them,
to the Host. (R/W)
EMACBACKOFFLIMIT The Back-Off limit determines the random integer number (r) of slot time delays (512 bit times for 10/100 Mbps) for which the MAC waits before rescheduling a transmission
attempt during retries after a collision. This bit is applicable only in the half-duplex mode.
• 00: k= min (n, 10).
• 01: k = min (n, 8).
• 10: k = min (n, 4).
• 11: k = min (n, 1), n = retransmission attempt. The random integer r takes the value in the
range 0 ~ 2000.
EMACDEFERRALCHECK Deferral Check. (R/W)
EMACTX When this bit is set, the transmit state machine of the MAC is enabled for transmission on
the MII. When this bit is reset, the MAC transmit state machine is disabled after the completion of
the transmission of the current frame, and does not transmit any further frames. (R/W)
EMACRX When this bit is set, the receiver state machine of the MAC is enabled for receiving frames
from the MII. When this bit is reset, the MAC receive state machine is disabled after the completion
of the reception of the current frame, and does not receive any further frames from the MII. (R/W)
PLTF These bits control the number of preamble bytes that are added to the beginning of every Transmit frame. The preamble reduction occurs only when the MAC is operating in the full-duplex mode.
2’b00: 7 bytes of preamble. 2’b01: 5 bytes of preamble. 2’b10: 3 bytes of preamble. (R/W)

RECEIVE_ALL When this bit is set, the MAC Receiver module passes all received frames, irrespective
of whether they pass the address filter or not, to the Application. The result of the SA or DA filtering
is updated (pass or fail) in the corresponding bits in the Receive Status Word. When this bit is reset,
the Receiver module passes only those frames to the Application that pass the SA or DA address
filter. (R/W)
SAFE When this bit is set, the MAC compares the SA field of the received frames with the values
programmed in the enabled SA registers. If the comparison fails, the MAC drops the frame. When
this bit is reset, the MAC forwards the received frame to the application with updated SAF bit of
the Rx Status depending on the SA address comparison. (R/W)
SAIF When this bit is set, the Address Check block operates in inverse filtering mode for the SA
address comparison. The frames whose SA matches the SA registers are marked as failing the
SA Address filter. When this bit is reset, frames whose SA does not match the SA registers are
marked as failing the SA Address filter. (R/W)
PCF These bits control the forwarding of all control frames (including unicast and multicast Pause
frames). (R/W)
• 2’b00: MAC filters all control frames from reaching the application.
• 2’b01: MAC forwards all control frames except Pause frames to application even if they fail
the Address filter.
• 2’b10: MAC forwards all control frames to application even if they fail the Address Filter.
• 2’b11: MAC forwards control frames that pass the Address Filter.
The following conditions should be true for the Pause frames processing:
• Condition 1: The MAC is in the full-duplex mode and flow control is enabled by setting Bit 2
(RFE) of Register (Flow Control Register) to 1.
• Condition 2: The destination address (DA) of the received frame matches the special multicast
address or the MAC Address 0 when Bit 3 (UP) of the Register(Flow Control Register) is set.
• Condition 3: The Type field of the received frame is 0x8808 and the OPCODE field is 0x0001.
DBF When this bit is set, the AFM module blocks all incoming broadcast frames. In addition, it overrides all other filter settings. When this bit is reset, the AFM module passes all received broadcast
frames. (R/W)
PAM When set, this bit indicates that all received frames with a multicast destination address (first bit

operation. Similarly for a read operation, the contents of Register 5 are not valid until this bit is
cleared. The subsequent read or write operation should happen only after the previous operation
is complete. Because there is no acknowledgment from the PHY to MAC after a read or write
operation is completed, there is no change in the functionality of this bit even when the PHY is not
present. (R/WS/SC)

PAUSE_TIME This field holds the value to be used in the Pause Time field in the transmit control
frame. If the Pause Time bits is configured to be double-synchronized to the MII clock domain,
then consecutive writes to this register should be performed only after at least four clock cycles in
the destination clock domain. (R/W)
PLT This field configures the threshold of the Pause timer automatic retransmission of the Pause frame.
The threshold values should be always less than the Pause Time configured in Bits[31:16]. For
example, if PT = 100H (256 slot-times), and PLT = 01, then a second Pause frame is automatically
transmitted at 228 (256-28) slot times after the first Pause frame is transmitted. The following list
provides the threshold values for different values: (R/W)
• 2’b00: The threshold is Pause time minus 4 slot times (PT-4 slot times).
• 2’b01: The threshold is Pause time minus 28 slot times (PT-28 slot times).
• 2’b10: The threshold is Pause time minus 144 slot times (PT-144 slot times).
• 2’b11: The threshold is Pause time minus 256 slot times (PT-256 slot times). The slot time is
defined as the time taken to transmit 512 bits (64 bytes) on the MII interface.
UPFD A pause frame is processed when it has the unique multicast address specified in the IEEE
Std 802.3. When this bit is set, the MAC can also detect Pause frames with unicast address of
the station. This unicast address should be as specified in the EMACADDR0 High Register and
EMACADDR0 Low Register. When this bit is reset, the MAC only detects Pause frames with unique
multicast address. (R/W)
RFCE When this bit is set, the MAC decodes the received Pause frame and disables its transmitter for
a specified (Pause) time. When this bit is reset, the decode function of the Pause frame is disabled.
(R/W)
TFCE In the full-duplex mode, when this bit is set, the MAC enables the flow control operation to
transmit Pause frames. When this bit is reset, the flow control operation in the MAC is disabled,
and the MAC does not transmit any Pause frames. In the half-duplex mode, when this bit is set,
the MAC enables the backpressure operation. When this bit is reset, the backpressure feature is
disabled. (R/W)
FCBBA This bit initiates a Pause frame in the full-duplex mode and activates the backpressure function
in the half-duplex mode if the TFE bit is set. In the full-duplex mode, this bit should be read as 1’b0
before writing to the Flow Control register. To initiate a Pause frame, the Application must set this
bit to 1’b1. During a transfer of the Control Frame, this bit continues to be set to signify that a
frame transmission is in progress. After the completion of Pause frame transmission, the MAC
resets this bit to 1’b0. The Flow Control register should not be written to until this bit is cleared. In
the half-duplex mode, when this bit is set (and TFE is set), then backpressure is asserted by the
MAC. During backpressure, when the MAC receives a new frame, the transmitter starts sending
a JAM pattern resulting in a collision. When the MAC is configured for the full-duplex mode, the
BPA is automatically disabled. (R/WS/SC)(FCB)/(R/W)(BPA)

I2C Controller
11.1
Overview
An I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) bus can be used for communication with several external devices connected to
the same bus as ESP32. The ESP32 has dedicated hardware to communicate with peripherals on the I2C
bus.
11.2
Features
The I2C controller has the following features:
• Supports both master mode and slave mode
• Supports multi-master and multi-slave communication
• Supports standard mode (100 kbit/s)
• Supports fast mode (400 kbit/s)
• Supports 7-bit addressing and 10-bit addressing
• Supports continuous data transmission with disabled Serial Clock Line (SCL)
• Supports programmable digital noise filter
11.3
Functional Description
11.3.1 Introduction
I2C is a two-wire bus, consisting of an SDA and an SCL line. These lines are configured to open the drain output.
The lines are shared by two or more devices: usually one or more masters and one or more slaves.
Communication starts when a master sends out a start condition: it will pull the SDA line low, and will then pull
the SCL line high. It will send out nine clock pulses over the SCL line. The first eight pulses are used to shift out a
byte consisting of a 7-bit address and a read/write bit. If a slave with this address is active on the bus, the slave
can answer by pulling the SDA low on the ninth clock pulse. The master can then send out more 9-bit clock
pulse clusters and, depending on the read/write bit sent, the device or the master will shift out data on the SDA
line, with the other side acknowledging the transfer by pulling the SDA low on the ninth clock pulse. During data
transfer, the SDA line changes only when the SCL line is low. When the master has finished the communication, it
will send a stop condition on the bus by raising SDA, while SCL will already be high.
The ESP32 I2C peripheral can handle the I2C protocol, freeing up the processor cores for other tasks.

11.3.2 Architecture
Figure 47: I2C Master Architecture
Figure 48: I2C Slave Architecture
An I2C controller can operate either in master mode or slave mode. The I2C_MS_MODE register is used to select
the mode. Figure 47 shows the I2C Master architecture, while Figure 48 shows the I2C Slave architecture. The
I2C controller contains the following units:
• RAM, the size of which is 32 x 8 bits, and it is directly mapped onto the address space of the CPU cores,
starting at address REG_I2C_BASE+0x100. Each byte of I2C data is stored in a 32-bit word of memory
(so, the first byte is at +0x100, the second byte at +0x104, the third byte at +0x108, etc.) Users need to
set register I2C_NONFIFO_EN.
• A CMD_Controller and 16 command registers (cmd0 ~ cmd15), which are used by the I2C Master to
control data transmission. One command at a time is executed by the I2C controller.
• SCL_FSM: A state machine that controls the SCL clock. The I2C_SCL_HIGH_PERIOD_REG and
I2C_SCL_LOW_PERIOD_REG registers are used to configure the frequency and duty cycle of the signal on
the SCL line.
• SDA_FSM: A state machine that controls the SDA data line.
• DATA_Shifter which converts the byte data to an outgoing bitstream, or converts an incoming bitstream to
byte data. I2C_RX_LSB_FIRST and I2C_TX_LSB_FIRST can be used for configuring whether the LSB or
MSB is stored or transmitted first.
Espressif Systems
266
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
11. I2C CONTROLLER
• SCL_Filter and SDA_Filter: Input noise filter for the I2C_Slave. The filter can be enabled or disabled by
configuring I2C_SCL_FILTER_EN and I2C_SDA_FILTER_EN. The filter can remove line glitches with pulse
width less than I2C_SCL_FILTER_THRES and I2C_SDA_FILTER_THRES ABP clock cycles.
11.3.3 I2C Bus Timing
Figure 49: I2C Sequence Chart
Figure 49 is an I2C sequence chart. When the I2C controller works in master mode, SCL is an output signal. In
contrast, when the I2C controller works in slave mode, the SCL becomes an input signal. The values assigned to
I2C_SDA_HOLD_REG and I2C_SDA_SAMPLE_REG are still valid in slave mode. Users need to configure the
values of I2C_SDA_HOLD_TIME and I2C_SDA_SAMPLE_TIME, according to the host characteristics, for the I2C
slave to receive data properly.
According to the I2C protocol, each transmission of data begins with a START condition and ends with a STOP
condition. Data is transmitted by one byte at a time, and each byte has an ACK bit. The receiver informs the
transmitter to continue transmission by pulling down SDA, which indicates an ACK. The receiver can also
indicate it wants to stop further transmission by pulling up the SDA line, thereby not indicating an ACK.
Figure 49 also shows the registers that can configure the START bit, STOP bit, SDA hold time, and SDA sample
time.
If the I2C pads are configured in open-drain mode, it will take longer for the signal lines to transition from a low
level to a high level. This will result in a poorly performing I2C bus. Proper external pull-up resistors are required
on I2C signal lines for bus operation when I2C pads are configured in open-drain mode. Typically, a stronger
pull-up is required for a higher frequency I2C bus operation.
11.3.4 I2C cmd Structure
Figure 50: Structure of The I2C Command Register
The Command register is active only in I2C master mode, with its internal structure shown in Figure 50.
Espressif Systems
267
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
11. I2C CONTROLLER
CMD_DONE: The CMD_DONE bit of every command can be read by software to tell if the command has been
handled by hardware.
op_code: op_code is used to indicate the command. The I2C controller supports four commands:
• RSTART: op_code = 0 is the RSTART command to control the transmission of a START or RESTART I2C
condition.
• WRITE: op_code = 1 is the WRITE command for the I2C Master to transmit data.
• READ: op_code = 2 is the READ command for the I2C Master to receive data.
• STOP: op_code = 3 is the STOP command to control the transmission of a STOP I2C condition.
• END: op_code = 4 is the END command for continuous data transmission. When the END command is
given, SCL is temporarily disabled to allow software to reload the command and data registers for
subsequent events before resuming. Transmission will then continue seamlessly.
A complete data transmission process begins with an RSTART command, and ends with a STOP
command.
ack_value: When receiving data, this bit is used to indicate whether the receiver will send an ACK after this byte
has been received.
ack_exp: This bit is to set an expected ACK value for the transmitter.
ack_check_en: When transmitting a byte, this bit enables checking the ACK value received against the ack_exp
value. Checking is enabled by 1, while 0 disables it.
byte_num: This register specifies the length of data (in bytes) to be read or written. The maximum length is 255,
while the minimum is 1. When the op_code is RSTART, STOP or END, this value is meaningless.
11.3.5 I2C Master Writes to Slave
Figure 51: I2C Master Writes to Slave with 7-bit Address
In all subsequent figures that illustrate I2C transactions and behavior, both the I2C Master and Slave devices are
assumed to be ESP32 I2C peripheral controllers for ease of demonstration.
Figure 51 shows the I2C Master writing N bytes of data to an I2C Slave. According to the I2C protocol, the first
byte is the Slave address. As shown in the diagram, the first byte of the RAM unit has been populated with the
Slave’s 7-bit address plus the 1-bit read/write flag. In this case, the flag is zero, indicating a write operation. The
Espressif Systems
268
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
11. I2C CONTROLLER
rest of the RAM unit holds N bytes of data ready for transmission. The cmd unit has been populated with the
sequence of commands for the operation.
For the I2C master to begin an operation, the bus must not be busy, i.e. the SCL line must not be pulled low by
another device on the I2C bus. The I2C operation can only begin when the SCL line is released (made high) to
indicate that the I2C bus is free. After the cmd unit and data are prepared, I2C_TRANS_START bit in
I2C_CTR_REG must be set to begin the configured I2C Master operation. The I2C Master then initiates a START
condition on the bus and progresses to the WRITE command which will fetch N+1 bytes from RAM and send
them to the Slave. The first of these bytes is the address byte.
When the transmitted data size exceeds I2C_NONFIFO_TX_THRES, an I2C_TX_SEND_EMPTY_INT interrupt will
be generated. After detecting the interrupt, software can read TXFIFO_END_ADDR in register RXFIFO_ST_REG,
get the last address of the data in the RAM and refresh the old data in the RAM. TXFIFO_END_ADDR will be
refreshed each time interrupt I2C_TX_SEND_EMPTY_INT or I2C_TRANS_COMPLETE_INT occurs.
When ack_check_en is set to 1, the Master will check the ACK value each time it sends a data byte. If the ACK
value received does not match ack_exp (the expected ACK value) in the WRITE command, then the Master will
generate an I2C_ACK_ERR_INT interrupt and stop the transmission.
During transmission, when the SCL is high, if the input value and output value of SDA do not match, then the
Master will generate an I2C_ARBITRATION_LOST_INT interrupt. When the transmission is finished, the Master
will generate an I2C_TRANS_COMPLETE_INT interrupt.
After detecting the START bit sent from the Master, the Slave will start receiving the address and comparing it to
its own. If the address does not match I2C_SLAVE_ADDR, then the Slave will ignore the rest of the transmission.
If they do match, the Slave will store the rest of the data into RAM in the receiving order. When the data size
exceeds I2C_NONFIFO_RX_THRES, an I2C_RX_REC_FULL_INT interrupt is generated. After detecting the
interrupt, software will get the starting and ending addresses in the RAM by reading RXFIFO_START_ADDR and
RXFIFO_END_ADDR bits in register RXFIFO_ST_REG, and fetch the data for further processing. Register
RXFIFO_START_ADDR is refreshed only once during each transmission, while RXFIFO_END_ADDR gets
refreshed every time when either I2C_RX_REC_FULL_INT or I2C_TRANS_COMPLETE_INT interrupt is
generated.
When the END command is not used, the I2C master can transmit up to (14*255-1) bytes of valid data, and the
cmd unit is populated with RSTART + 14 WRITE + 1 STOP.
There are several special cases to be noted:
• If the Master fails to send a STOP bit, because the SDA is pulled low by other devices, then the Master
needs to be reset.
• If the Master fails to send a START bit, because the SDA or SCL is pulled low by other devices, then the
Master needs to be reset. It is recommended that the software uses a timeout period to implement the
reset.
• If the SDA is pulled low by the Slave during transmission, the Master can simply release it by sending it nine
SCL clock signals at the most.
It is important to note that the behaviour of another I2C master or slave device on the bus may not always be
similar to that of the ESP32 I2C peripheral in the master- or slave-mode operation described above. Please
consult the datasheets of the respective I2C devices to ensure proper operation under all bus conditions.

Figure 52: I2C Master Writes to Slave with 10-bit Address
The ESP32 I2C controller uses 7-bit addressing by default. However, 10-bit addressing can also be used. In the
master, this is done by sending a second I2C address byte after the first address byte. In the slave, the
I2C_SLAVE_ADDR_10BIT_EN bit in I2C_SLAVE_ADDR_REG can be set to activate a 10-bit addressing mode.
I2C_SLAVE_ADDR is used to configure the I2C Slave address, as per usual. Figure 52 shows the equivalent of
I2C Master operation writing N-bytes of data to an I2C Slave with a 10-bit address. Since 10-bit Slave addresses
require an extra address byte, both the byte_num field of the WRITE command and the number of total bytes in
RAM increase by one.
When the END command is not used, the I2C master can transmit up to (14*255-2) bytes of valid data to Slave
with 10-bit address.
Figure 53: I2C Master Writes to addrM in RAM of Slave with 7-bit Address
One way many I2C Slave devices are designed is by exposing a register block containing various settings. The
I2C Master can write one or more of these registers by sending the Slave a register address. The ESP32 I2C
Slave controller has hardware support for such a scheme.
Specifically, on the Slave, I2C_FIFO_ADDR_CFG_EN can be set so that the I2C Master can write to a specified
register address inside the I2C Slave memory block. Figure 53 shows the I2C Master writing N-bytes of data
byte0 ~ byte(N-1) from the RAM unit to register address M (determined by addrM in RAM unit) with the Slave. In
this mode, I2C Slave can receive up to 32 bytes of valid data. When I2C Master needs to transmit extra amount
of data, segmented transmission can be enabled.

Figure 54: I2C Master Writes to Slave with 7-bit Address in Three Segments
If the data size exceeds the capacity of a 14-byte read/write cmd, the END command can be called to enable
segmented transmission. Figure 54 shows the I2C Master writing data to the Slave, in three segments. The first
segment shows the configuration of the Master’s commands and the preparation of data in the RAM unit. When
the I2C_TRANS_START bit is enabled, the Master starts transmission. After executing the END command, the
Master will turn off the SCL clock and pull the SCL low to reserve the I2C bus and prevent any other device from
transacting on the bus. The controller will generate an I2C_END_DETECT_INT interrupt to notify the
software.
After detecting an I2C_END_DETECT_INT interrupt, the software can refresh the contents of the cmd and RAM
blocks, as shown in the second segment. Subsequently, it should clear the I2C_END_DETECT_INT interrupt and
resume the transaction by setting the I2C_TRANS_START bit. To stop the transaction, it should configure the
cmd, as the third segment shows, and enable the I2C_TRANS_START bit to generate a STOP bit, after detecting
the I2C_END_DETECT_INT interrupt.
Please note that the other masters on the I2C bus will be starved of bus time between two segments. The bus is
only released after a STOP signal is sent.
Note: When there are more than three segments, the address of an END command in the cmd should not be
altered into another command by the next segment.

11.3.6 I2C Master Reads from Slave
Figure 55: I2C Master Reads from Slave with 7-bit Address
Figure 55 shows the I2C Master reading N-bytes of data from an I2C Slave with a 7-bit address. At first, the I2C
Master needs to send the address of the I2C Slave, so cmd1 is a WRITE command. The byte that this command
sends is the I2C slave address plus the R/W flag, which in this case is 1 and, therefore, indicates that this is going
to be a read operation. The I2C Slave starts to send data to the Master if the addresses match. The Master will
return ACK, according to the ack_value in the READ command, upon receiving every byte. As can be seen from
Figure 55, READ is divided into two segments. The I2C Master replies ACK to N-1 bytes in cmd2 and does not
reply ACK to the single byte READ command in cmd3, i.e., the last transmitted data. Users can configure it as
they wish.
When storing the received data, I2C Master will start from the first address in RAM. Byte0 (Slave address + 1-bit
R/W marker bit) will be overwritten.
When the END command is not used, the I2C Master can transmit up to (13*255) bytes of valid data. The cmd
unit is populated with RSTART + 1 WRITE + 13 READ + 1 STOP.
Figure 56: I2C Master Reads from Slave with 10-bit Address
Figure 56 shows the I2C Master reading data from a slave with a 10-bit address. This mode can be enabled by
setting I2C_SLAVE_ADDR_10BIT_EN bit and preparing data to be sent in the slave RAM. In the Master, two
bytes of RAM are used for a 10-bit address. Finally, the I2C _TRANS_START bit must be set to enable one
transaction.

Figure 57: I2C Master Reads N Bytes of Data from addrM in Slave with 7-bit Address
Figure 57 shows the I2C Master reading data from a specified address in the I2C Slave. This mode can be
enabled by setting I2C_FIFO_ADDR_CFG_EN and preparing the data to be read by the master in the Slave RAM
block. Subsequently, the address of the Slave and the address of the specified register (that is, M) have to be
determined by the master. Finally, the I2C_TRANS_START bit must be set in the Master to initiate the read
operation, following which the I2C Slave will fetch N bytes of data from RAM and send them to the Master.

Figure 58 shows the I2C Master reading N+M bytes of data in three segments from the I2C Slave. The first
segment shows the configuration of the cmd and the preparation of data in the Slave RAM. When the
I2C_TRANS_START bit is enabled, the I2C Master starts the operation. The I2C Master will refresh the cmd after
executing the END command. It will clear the I2C_END_DETECT_INT interrupt, set the I2C_TRANS_START bit
and resume the transaction. To stop the transaction, the I2C Master will configure the cmd, as the third segment
shows, after detecting the I2C_END_DETECT_INT interrupt. After setting the I2C_TRANS_START bit, I2C Master
will send a STOP bit to stop the transaction.

I2S
12.1
Overview
The I2S bus provides a flexible communication interface for streaming digital data in multimedia applications,
especially digital audio applications. The ESP32 includes two I2S interfaces: I2S0 and I2S1.
The I2S standard bus defines three signals: a clock signal, a channel selection signal, and a serial data signal. A
basic I2S data bus has one master and one slave. The roles remain unchanged throughout the communication.
The I2S modules on the ESP32 provide separate transmit and receive channels for high performance.
Figure 59: I2S System Block Diagram
Figure 59 is the system block diagram of the ESP32 I2S module. In the figure above, the value of ”n” can be
either 0 or 1. There are two independent I2S modules embedded in ESP32, namely I2S0 and I2S1. Each I2S
module contains a Tx (transmit) unit and a Rx (receive) unit. Both the Tx unit and the Rx unit have a three-wire
interface that includes a clock line, a channel selection line and a serial data line. The serial data line of the Tx unit
is fixed as output, and the serial data line of the receive unit is fixed as input. The clock line and the channel
selection line of the Tx and Rx units can be configured to both master transmitting mode and slave receiving
mode. In the LCD mode, the serial data line extends to the parallel data bus. Both the Tx unit and the Rx unit
have a 32-bit-wide FIFO with a depth of 64. Besides, only I2S0 supports on-chip DAC/ADC modes, as well as
receiving and transmitting PDM signals.
The right side of Figure 59 shows the signal bus of the I2S module. The signal naming rule of the Rx and Tx units
is I2SnA_B_C, where ”n” stands for either I2S0 or I2S1; ”A” represents the direction of I2S module’s data bus
signal, ”I” represents input, ”O” represents output; ”B” represents signal function; ”C” represents the signal
direction, ”in” means that the signal is input into the I2S module, while ”out” means that the I2S module outputs
the signal. For a detailed description of the I2S signal bus, please refer to Table 55.

12.3
The Clock of I2S Module
As is shown in Figure 60, I2Sn_CLK, as the master clock of I2S module, is derived from the 160 MHz clock
PLL_D2_CLK or the configurable analog PLL output clock APLL_CLK. The serial clock (BCK) of the I2S module
is derived from I2Sn_CLK. The I2S_CLKA_ENA bit of register I2S_CLKM_CONF_REG is used to select either
PLL_D2_CLK or APLL_CLK as the clock source for I2Sn. PLL_D2_CLK is used as the clock source for I2Sn, by
default.
Notice:
• When using PLL_D2_CLK as the clock source, it is not recommended to divide it using decimals. For high
performance audio applications, the analog PLL output clock source APLL_CLK must be used to acquire
highly accurate I2Sn_CLK and BCK. For further details, please refer to the chapter entitled Reset and Clock.
• When ESP32 I2S works in slave mode, the master must use I2Sn_CLK as the master clock and fi2s >= 8 *
fBCK .
Figure 60: I2S Clock
The relation between I2Sn_CLK frequency fi2s and the divider clock source frequency fpll can be seen in the
equation below:
fi2s =
fpll
N + ba
”N”, whose value is >=2, corresponds to the REG _CLKM_DIV_NUM [7: 0] bits of register
I2S_CLKM_CONF_REG , ”b” is the I2S_CLKM_DIV_B[5:0] bit and ”a” is the I2S_CLKM_DIV_A[5:0] bit.
In master mode, the serial clock BCK in the I2S module is derived from I2Sn_CLK, that is:
fBCK =
fi2s
M
In master transmitting mode, ”M”, whose value is >=2, is the I2S_TX_BCK_DIV_NUM[5:0] bit of register
I2S_SAMPLE_RATE_CONF_REG. In master receiving mode, ”M” is the I2S_RX_BCK_DIV_NUM[5:0] bit of
register I2S_SAMPLE_RATE_CONF_REG.
Espressif Systems

ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
12. I2S
12.4
I2S Mode
The ESP32 I2S module integrates an A-law compression/decompression module to enable
compression/decompression of the received audio data. The RX_PCM_BYPASS bit and the TX_PCM_BYPASS
bit of register I2S_CONF1_REG should be cleared when using the A-law compression/decompression
module.
12.4.1 Supported Audio Standards
In the I2S bus, BCK is the serial clock, WS is the left- /right-channel selection signal (also called word select
signal), and SD is the serial data signal for transmitting/receiving digital audio data. WS and SD signals in the I2S
module change on the falling edge of BCK, while the SD signal can be sampled on the rising edge of BCK. If the
I2S_RX_RIGHT_FIRST bit and the I2S_TX_RIGHT_FIRST bit of register I2S_CONF_REG are set to 1, the I2S
module is configured to receive and transmit right-channel data first. Otherwise, the I2S module receives and
transmits left-channel data first.
12.4.1.1 Philips Standard
Figure 61: Philips Standard
As is shown in Figure 61, the Philips I2S bus specifications require that the WS signal starts to change a BCK
clock cycle earlier than the SD signal, which means that the WS signal takes effect a clock cycle before the first
bit of the current channel-data transmission, while the WS signal continues until the end of the current
channel-data transmission. The SD signal line transmits the most significant bit of audio data first. If the
I2S_RX_MSB_SHIFT bit and the I2S_TX_MSB_SHIFT bit of register I2S_CONF_REG are set to 1, respectively,
the I2S module will use the Philips standard when receiving and transmitting data.
12.4.1.2 MSB Alignment Standard
Figure 62: MSB Alignment Standard
Espressif Systems
291
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
12. I2S
The MSB alignment standard is shown in Figure 62. WS and SD signals both change simultaneously on the
falling edge of BCK under the MSB alignment standard. The WS signal continues until the end of the current
channel-data transmission, and the SD signal line transmits the most significant bit of audio data first. If the
I2S_RX_MSB_SHIFT and I2S_TX_MSB_SHIFT bits of register I2S_CONF_REG are cleared, the I2S module will
use the MSB alignment standard when receiving and transmitting data.
12.4.1.3 PCM Standard
As is shown in Figure 63, under the short frame synchronization mode of the PCM standard, the WS signal starts
to change a BCK clock cycle earlier than the SD signal, which means that the WS signal takes effect a clock
cycle earlier than the first bit of the current channel-data transmission and continues for one extra BCK clock
cycle. The SD signal line transmits the most significant bit of audio data first. If the I2S_RX_SHORT_SYNC and
I2S_TX_SHORT_SYNC bits of register I2S_CONF_REG are set, the I2S module will receive and transmit data in
the short frame synchronization mode.
Figure 63: PCM Standard
12.4.2 Module Reset
The four low-order bits in register I2S_CONF_REG, that is, I2S_TX_RESET, I2S_RX_RESET,
I2S_TX_FIFO_RESET and I2S_RX_FIFO_RESET reset the receive module, the transmit module and the
corresponding FIFO buffer, respectively. In order to finish a reset operation, the corresponding bit should be set
and then cleared by software.
12.4.3 FIFO Operation
The data read/write packet length for a FIFO operation is 32 bits. The data packet format for the FIFO buffer can
be configured using configuration registers. As shown in Figure 59, both sent and received data should be
written into FIFO first and then read from FIFO. There are two approaches to accessing the FIFO; one is to
directly access the FIFO using a CPU, the other is to access the FIFO using a DMA controller.
Generally, both the I2S_RX_FIFO_MOD_FORCE_EN bit and I2S_TX_FIFO_MOD_FORCE_EN bits of register
I2S_FIFO_CONF_REG should be set to 1. I2S_TX_DATA_NUM[5:0] bit and I2S_RX_DATA_NUM[5:0] are used to
control the length of the data that have been sent, received and buffered. Hardware inspects the received-data
length RX_LEN and the transmitted-data length TX_LEN. Both the received and the transmitted data are buffered
in the FIFO method.
When RX_LEN is greater than I2S_RX_DATA_NUM[5:0], the received data, which is buffered in FIFO, has
reached the set threshold and needs to be read out to prevent an overflow. When TX_LEN is less than
I2S_TX_DATA_NUM[5:0], the transmitted data, which is buffered in FIFO, has not reached the set threshold and
software can continue feeding data into FIFO.

12.4.4 Sending Data
The ESP32 I2S module carries out a data-transmit operation in three stages:
• Read data from internal storage and transfer it to FIFO
• Read data to be sent from FIFO
• Clock out data serially, or in parallel, as configured by the user

16-bit single channel data
At the first stage, there are two modes for data to be sent and written into FIFO. In Tx FIFO mode0, the Tx
data-to-be-sent are written into FIFO according to the time order. In Tx FIFO mode1, the data-to-be-sent are
divided into 16 high- and 16 low-order bits. Then, both the 16 high- and 16 low-order bits are recomposed and
′
written into FIFO. The details are shown in Figure 64 with the corresponding registers listed in Table 56. Dn
′′
consists of 16 high-order bits of Dn and 16 zeros. Dn consists of 16 low-order bits of Dn and 16 zeros. That is
′
′′
to say, Dn = {Dn [31 : 16], 16′ h0}, Dn = {Dn [15 : 0], 16′ h0}.
At the second stage, the system reads data that will be sent from FIFO, according to the relevant register
configuration. The mode in which the system reads data from FIFO is relevant to the configuration of
I2S_TX_FIFO_MOD[2.0] and I2S_TX_CHAN_MOD[2:0]. I2S_TX_FIFO_MOD[2.0] determines whether the data are
16-bit or 32-bit, as shown in Table 56, while I2S_TX_CHAN_MOD[2:0] determines the format of the
data-to-be-sent, as shown in Table 57.

The output of the third stage is determined by the mode of the I2S and I2S_TX_BITS_MOD[5:0] bits of register
I2S_SAMPLE_RATE_CONF_REG.
12.4.5 Receiving Data
The data-receive phase of the ESP32 I2S module consists of another three stages:
• The input serial-bit stream is transformed into a 64-bit parallel-data stream in I2S mode. In LCD mode, the
input parallel-data stream will be extended to a 64-bit parallel-data stream.
• Received data are written into FIFO.
• Data are read from FIFO by CPU/DMA and written into the internal memory.
At the first stage of receiving data, the received-data stream is expanded to a zero-padded parallel-data stream
with 32 high-order bits and 32 low-order bits, according to the level of the I2SnI_WS_out (or I2SnI_WS_in) signal.
The I2S_RX_MSB_RIGHT bit of register I2S_CONF_REG is used to determine how the data are to be
expanded.
Figure 65: The First Stage of Receiving Data
For example, as is shown in Figure 65, if the width of serial data is 16 bits, when I2S_RX_RIGHT_FIRST equals 1,
Data0 will be discarded and I2S will start receiving data from Data1. If I2S_RX_MSB_RIGHT equals 1, data of the
first stage would be {0xF EDC0000, 0x32100000}. If I2S_RX_MSB_RIGHT equals 0, data of the first stage would
Espressif Systems
294
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
12. I2S
be {0x32100000, 0xF EDC0000}. When I2S_RX_RIGHT_FIRST equals 0, I2S will start receiving data from Data0.
If I2S_RX_MSB_RIGHT equals 1, data of the first stage would be {0xF EDC0000, 0x76540000}. If
I2S_RX_MSB_RIGHT equals 0, data of the first stage would be {0x76540000, 0xF EDC0000}.
As is shown in Table 58 and Figure 66, at the second stage, the received data of the Rx unit is written into FIFO.
There are four modes of writing received data into FIFO. Each mode corresponds to a value of
I2S_RX_FIFO_MOD[2:0] bit.

12.4.6 I2S Master/Slave Mode
The ESP32 I2S module can be configured to act as a master or slave device on the I2S bus. The module
supports slave transmitter and receiver configurations in addition to master transmitter and receiver
configurations. All these modes can support full-duplex and half-duplex communication over the I2S bus.
I2S_RX_SLAVE_MOD bit and I2S_TX_SLAVE_MOD bit of register I2S_CONF_REG can configure I2S to slave
receiving mode and slave transmitting mode, respectively.
I2S_TX_START bit of register I2S_CONF_REG is used to enable transmission. When I2S is in master transmitting
mode and this bit is set, the module will keep driving the clock signal and data of left and right channels. If FIFO
sends out all the buffered data and there are no new data to shift, the last batch of data will be looped on the
data line. When this bit is reset, master will stop driving clock and data lines. When I2S is configured to slave
transmitting mode and this bit is set, the module will wait for the master BCK clock to enable a transmit
operation.
The I2S_RX_START bit of register I2S_CONF_REG is used to enable a receive operation. When I2S is in master
transmitting mode and this bit is set, the module will keep driving the clock signal and sampling the input data
stream until this bit is reset. If I2S is configured to slave receiving mode and this bit is set, the receiving module
will wait for the master BCK clock to enable a receiving operation.
12.4.7 I2S PDM
As is shown in Figure 59, ESP32 I2S0 allows for pulse density modulation (PDM), which enables fast conversion
between pulse code modulation (PCM) and PDM signals.
The output clock of PDM is mapped to the I2S0*_WS_out signal. Its configuration is identical to I2S’s BCK.
Please refer to section 12.3, ”The Clock of I2S Module”, for further details. The bit width for both received and
transmitted I2S PCM signals is 16 bits.
Figure 67: PDM Transmitting Module
The PDM transmitting module is used to convert PCM signals into PDM signals, as shown in Figure 67. HPF is a
high-speed channel filter, and LPF is a low-speed channel filter. The PDM signal is derived from the PCM signal,
after upsampling and filtering. Signal I2S_TX_PDM_HP_BYPASS of register I2S_PDM_CONF_REG can be set to
bypass the HPF at the PCM input. Filter module group0 carries out the upsampling. If the frequency of the PDM
signal is fpdm and the frequency of the PCM signal is fpcm , the relation between fpdm and fpcm is given by:
fpdm = 64×fpcm ×
I2S_T X_P DM _F P
I2S_T X_P DM _F S
The upsampling factor of 64 is the result of the two upsampling stages.
Table 60 lists the configuration rates of the I2S_TX_PDM_FP bit and the I2S_TX_PDM_FS bit of register
I2S_PDM_FREQ_CONF_REG, whose output PDM signal frequency remains 48×128 KHz at different PCM signal
frequencies.

As is shown in Figure 68, the I2S_TX_PDM_EN bit and the I2S_PCM2PDM_CONV_EN bit of register
I2S_PDM_CONF_REG should be set to 1 to use the PDM sending module. The
I2S_TX_PDM_SIGMADELTA_IN_SHIFT bit, I2S_TX_PDM_SINC_IN_SHIFT bit, I2S_TX_PDM_LP_IN_SHIFT bit
and I2S_TX_PDM_HP_IN_SHIFT bit of register I2S_PDM_CONF_REG are used to adjust the size of the input
signal of each filter module.
Figure 68: PDM Sends Signal
As is shown in Figure 69, the I2S_RX_PDM_EN bit and the I2S_PDM2PCM_CONV_EN bit of register
I2S_PDM_CONF_REG should be set to 1, in order to use the PDM receiving module. As is shown in Figure 70,
the PDM receiving module will convert the received PDM signal into a 16-bit PCM signal. Filter group1 is used to
downsample the PDM signal, and the I2S_RX_PDM_SINC_DSR_16_EN bit of register I2S_PDM_CONF_REG is
used to adjust the corresponding down-sampling rate.

LCD Mode
There are three operational modes in the LCD mode of ESP32 I2S:
• LCD master transmitting mode
• Camera slave receiving mode
• ADC/DAC mode
The clock configuration of the LCD master transmitting mode is identical to I2S’s clock configuration. In the LCD
mode, the frequency of WS is half of f BCK .
In the ADC/DAC mode, use PLL_D2_CLK as the clock source.
12.5.1 LCD Master Transmitting Mode
As is shown in Figure 71, the WR signal of LCD connects to the WS signal of I2S. The LCD data bus width is 24
bits.
Figure 71: LCD Master Transmitting Mode
The I2S_LCD_EN bit of register I2S_CONF2_REG needs to be set and the I2S_TX_SLAVE_MOD bit of register
I2S_CONF_REG needs to be cleared, in order to configure I2S to the LCD master transmitting mode. Meanwhile,
data should be sent under the correct mode, according to the I2S_TX_CHAN_MOD[2:0] bit of register
I2S_CONF_CHAN_REG and the I2S_TX_FIFO_MOD[2:0] bit of register I2S_FIFO_CONF_REG. The WS signal
needs to be inverted when it is routed through the GPIO Matrix. For details, please refer to the chapter about
IO_MUX and the GPIO Matrix. The I2S_LCD_TX_SDX2_EN bit and the I2S_LCD_TX_WRX2_EN bit of register
I2S_CONF2_REG should be set to the LCD master transmitting mode, so that both the data bus and WR signal
work in the appropriate mode.

Figure 72: LCD Master Transmitting Data Frame, Form 1
Figure 73: LCD Master Transmitting Data Frame, Form 2
As is shown in Figure 72 and Figure 73, the I2S_LCD_TX_WRX2_EN bit should be set to 1 and the
I2S_LCD_TX_SDX2_EN bit should be set to 0 in the data frame, form 1. Both I2S_LCD_TX_SDX2_EN bit and
I2S_LCD_TX_WRX2_EN bit are set to 1 in the data frame, form 2.
12.5.2 Camera Slave Receiving Mode
ESP32 I2S supports a camera slave mode for high-speed data transfer from external camera modules. As
shown in Figure 74, in this mode, I2S is set to slave receiving mode. Besides the 16-channel data signal bus
I2SnI_Data_in, there are other signals, such as I2Sn_H_SYNC, I2Sn_V_SYNC and I2Sn_H_ENABLE.
The PCLK in the Camera module connects to I2SnI_WS_in in the I2S module, as Figure 74 shows.
Figure 74: Camera Slave Receiving Mode
When I2S is in the camera slave receiving mode, and when I2Sn_H_SYNC, I2S_V_SYNC and I2S_H_REF are
held high, the master starts transmitting data, that is,
transmission_start = (I2Sn_H_SY N C == 1)&&(I2Sn_V _SY N C == 1)&&(I2Sn_H_EN ABLE == 1)
Thus, during data transmission, these three signals should be kept at a high level. For example, if the
I2Sn_V_SYNC signal of a camera is at low level during data transmission, it will be inverted when routed to the
I2S module. ESP32 supports signal inversion through the GPIO matrix. For details, please refer to the chapter
about IO_MUX and the GPIO Matrix.
In order to make I2S work in camera mode, the I2S_LCD_EN bit and the I2S_CAMERA_EN bit of register
I2S_CONF2_REG are set to 1, the I2S_RX_SLAVE_MOD bit of register I2S_CONF_REG is set to 1, the
I2S_RX_MSB_RIGHT bit and the I2S_RX_RIGHT_FIRST bit of I2S_CONF_REG are set to 0. Thus, I2S works in

the LCD slave receiving mode. At the same time, in order to use the correct mode to receive data, both the
I2S_RX_CHAN_MOD[2:0] bit of register I2S_CONF_CHAN_REG and the I2S_RX_FIFO_MOD[2:0] bit of register
I2S_FIFO_CONF_REG are set to 1.
12.5.3 ADC/DAC mode
In LCD mode, ESP32’s ADC and DAC can receive data. When the I2S0 module connects to the on-chip ADC,
the I2S0 module should be set to master receiving mode. Figure 75 shows the signal connection between the
I2S0 module and the ADC.
Figure 75: ADC Interface of I2S0
Firstly, the I2S_LCD_EN bit of register I2S_CONF2_REG is set to 1, and the I2S_RX_SLAVE_MOD bit of register
I2S_CONF_REG is set to 0, so that the I2S0 module works in LCD master receiving mode, and the I2S0 module
clock is configured such that the WS signal of I2S0 outputs an appropriate frequency. Then, the
APB_CTRL_SARADC_DATA_TO_I2S bit of register APB_CTRL_APB_SARADC_CTRL_REG is set to 1. Enable
I2S to receive data after configuring the relevant registers of SARADC. For details, please refer to Chapter
On-Chip Sensors and Analog Signal Processing.
Figure 76: DAC Interface of I2S
Figure 77: Data Input by I2S DAC Interface
The I2S0 module should be configured to master transmitting mode when it connects to the on-chip DAC. Figure
76 shows the signal connection between the I2S0 module and the DAC. The DAC’s control module regards
I2S_CLK as the clock in this configuration. As shown in Figure 77, when the data bus inputs data to the DAC’s
Espressif Systems

control module, the latter will input right-channel data to DAC1 module and left-channel data to DAC2 module.
When using the I2S DMA module, 8 bits of data-to-be-transmitted are shifted to the left by 8 bits of
data-to-be-received into the DMA double-byte type of buffer.
The I2S_LCD_EN bit of register I2S_CONF2_REG should be set to 1, while I2S_RX_SHORT_SYNC,
I2S_TX_SHORT_SYNC, I2S_CONF_REG , I2S_RX_MSB_SHIFT and I2S_TX_MSB_SHIFT should all be reset to
0. The I2S_TX_SLAVE_MOD bit of register I2S_CONF_REG should be set to 0, as well, when using the DAC
mode of I2S0. Select a suitable transmit mode according to the standards of transmitting a 16-bit digital data
stream. Configure the I2S0 module clock to output a suitable frequency for the I2S_CLK and the WS of I2S.
Enable I2S0 to send data after configuring the relevant DAC registers.

UART Controllers
13.1
Overview
Embedded applications often require a simple method of exchanging data between devices that need minimal
system resources. The Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) is one such standard that can
realize a flexible full-duplex data exchange among different devices. The three UART controllers available on a
chip are compatible with UART-enabled devices from various manufacturers. The UART can also carry out an
IrDA (Infrared Data Exchange), or function as an RS-485 modem.
All UART controllers integrated in the ESP32 feature an identical set of registers for ease of programming and
flexibility. In this documentation, these controllers are referred to as UARTn, where n = 0, 1, and 2, referring to
UART0, UART1, and UART2, respectively.
13.2
UART Features
The UART modules have the following main features:
• Programmable baud rate
• 1024 x 8-bit RAM shared by three UART transmit-FIFOs and receive-FIFOs
• Supports input baud rate self-check
• Supports 5/6/7/8 bits of data length
• Supports 1/1.5/2/3/4 STOP bits
• Supports parity bit
• Supports RS485 Protocol
• Supports IrDA Protocol
• Supports DMA to communicate data in high speed
• Supports UART wake-up
• Supports both software and hardware flow control
13.3
Functional Description
13.3.1 Introduction
UART is a character-oriented data link that can be used to achieve communication between two devices. The
asynchronous mode of transmission means that it is not necessary to add clocking information to the data being
sent. This, in turn, requires that the data rate, STOP bits, parity, etc., be identical at the transmitting and receiving
end for the devices to communicate successfully.
A typical UART frame begins with a START bit, followed by a “character” and an optional parity bit for error
detection, and it ends with a STOP condition. The UART controllers available on the ESP32 provide hardware
support for multiple lengths of data and STOP bits. In addition, the controllers support both software and
hardware flow control, as well as DMA, for seamless high-speed data transfer. This allows the developer to
employ multiple UART ports in the system with minimal software overhead.

13.3.2 UART Architecture
Figure 78: UART Basic Structure
Figure 78 shows the basic block diagram of the UART controller. The UART block can derive its clock from two
sources: the 80-MHz APB_CLK, or the reference clock REF_TICK (please refer to Chapter Reset and Clock for
more details). These two clock sources can be selected by configuring UART_TICK_REF_ALWAYS_ON.
Then, a divider in the clock path divides the selected clock source to generate clock signals that drive the UART
module. UART_CLKDIV_REG contains the clock divider value in two parts — UART_CLKDIV (integral part) and
UART_CLKDIV_FRAG (decimal part).
The UART controller can be further broken down into two functional blocks — the transmit block and the receive
block.
The transmit block contains a transmit-FIFO buffer, which buffers data awaiting to be transmitted. Software can
write Tx_FIFO via APB, and transmit data into Tx_FIFO via DMA. Tx_FIFO_Ctrl is used to control read- and
write-access to the Tx_FIFO. When Tx_FIFO is not null, Tx_FSM reads data via Tx_FIFO_Ctrl, and transmits data
out according to the set frame format. The outgoing bit stream can be inverted by appropriately configuring the
register UART_TXD_INV.
The receive-block contains a receive-FIFO buffer, which buffers incoming data awaiting to be processed. The
input bit stream, rxd_in, is fed to the UART controller. Negation of the input stream can be controlled by
configuring the UART_RXD_INV register. Baudrate_Detect measures the baud rate of the input signal by
measuring the minimum pulse width of the input bit stream. Start_Detect is used to detect a START bit in a frame
of incoming data. After detecting the START bit, RX_FSM stores data retrieved from the received frame into
Rx_FIFO through Rx_FIFO_Ctrl.
Software can read data in the Rx_FIFO through the APB. In order to free the CPU from engaging in data transfer
operations, the DMA can be configured for sending or receiving data.
HW_Flow_Ctrl is able to control the data flow of rxd_in and txd_out through standard UART RTS and CTS flow
control signals (rtsn_out and ctsn_in). SW_Flow_Ctrl controls the data flow by inserting special characters in the
incoming and outgoing data flow. When UART is in Light-sleep mode (refer to Chapter Low-Power
Management), Wakeup_Ctrl will start counting pulses in rxd_in. If the number of pulses is greater than
UART_ACTIVE_THRESHOLD, a wake_up signal will be generated and sent to RTC. RTC will then wake up the

UART controller.
13.3.3 UART RAM
Figure 79: UART shared RAM
Three UART controllers share a 1024 x 8-bit RAM space. As illustrated in Figure 79, RAM is allocated in different
blocks. One block holds 128 x 8-bit data. Figure 79 illustrates the default RAM allocated to Tx_FIFO and
Rx_FIFO of the three UART controllers. Tx_FIFO of UARTn can be extended by setting UARTn_TX_SIZE, while
Rx_FIFO of UARTn can be extended by setting UARTn_RX_SIZE.
NOTICE: Extending the FIFO space of a UART controller may take up the FIFO space of another UART
controller.
If none of the UART controllers is active, setting UART_MEM_PD, UART1_MEM_PD, and UART2_MEM_PD can
prompt the RAM to enter low-power mode.
In UART0, bit UART_TXFIFO_RST and bit UART_RXFIFO_RST can be set to reset Tx_FIFO or Rx_FIFO,
respectively. In UART1, bit UART1_TXFIFO_RST and bit UART1_RXFIFO_RST can be set to reset Tx_FIFO or
Rx_FIFO, respectively.
Note:
UART2 doesn’t have any register to reset Tx_FIFO or Rx_FIFO, and the UART1_TXFIFO_RST and UART1_RXFIFO_RST
in UART1 may impact the functioning of UART2. Therefore, these 2 registers in UART1 should only be used when the
Tx_FIFO and Rx_FIFO in UART2 do not have any data.
13.3.4 Baud Rate Detection
Setting UART_AUTOBAUD_EN for a UART controller will enable the baud rate detection function. The
Baudrate_Detect block shown in Figure 78 can filter glitches with a pulse width lower than
UART_GLITCH_FILT.
In order to use the baud rate detection feature, some random data should be sent to the receiver before starting
Espressif Systems
324
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
13. UART CONTROLLERS
the UART communication stream. This is required so that the baud rate can be determined based on the pulse
width. UART_LOWPULSE_MIN_CNT stores minimum low-pulse width, UART_HIGHPULSE_MIN_CNT stores
minimum high-pulse width. By reading these two registers, software can calculate the baud rate of the
transmitter.
13.3.5 UART Data Frame
Figure 80 shows the basic data frame structure. A data frame starts with a START condition and ends with a
STOP condition. The START condition requires 1 bit and the STOP condition can be realized using
1/1.5/2/3/4-bit widths (as set by UART_BIT_NUM, UART_DL1_EN, and UAR_DL0_EN). The START is low level,
while the STOP is high level.
Figure 80: UART Data Frame Structure
The length of a character (BIT0 to BITn) can comprise 5 to 8 bits and can be configured by UART_BIT_NUM.
When UART_PARITY_EN is set, the UART controller hardware will add the appropriate parity bit after the data.
UART_PARITY is used to select odd parity or even parity. If the receiver detects an error in the input character,
interrupt UART_PARITY_ERR_INT will be generated. If the receiver detects an error in the frame format, interrupt
UART_FRM_ERR_INT will be generated.
Interrupt UART_TX_DONE_INT will be generated when all data in Tx_FIFO have been transmitted. When
UART_TXD_BRK is set, the transmitter sends several NULL characters after the process of sending data is
completed. The number of NULL characters can be configured by UART_TX_BRK_NUM. After the transmitter
finishes sending all NULL characters, interrupt UART_TX_BRK_DONE_INT will be generated. The minimum
interval between data frames can be configured with UART_TX_IDLE_NUM. If the idle time of a data frame is
equal to, or larger than, the configured value of register UART_TX_IDLE_NUM, interrupt
UART_TX_BRK_IDLE_DONE_INT will be generated.
Figure 81: AT_CMD Character Format
Figure 81 shows a special AT_CMD character format. If the receiver constantly receives UART_AT_CMD_CHAR
characters and these characters satisfy the following conditions, interrupt UART_AT_CMD_CHAR_DET_INT will
be generated.
• Between the first UART_AT_CMD_CHAR and the last non-UART_AT_CMD_CHAR, there are at least
UART_PER_IDLE_NUM APB clock cycles.
• Between every UART_AT_CMD_CHAR character there are at least UART_RX_GAP_TOUT APB clock
cycles.
Espressif Systems
325
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
13. UART CONTROLLERS
• The number of received UART_AT_CMD_CHAR characters must be equal to, or greater than,
UART_CHAR_NUM.
• Between the last UART_AT_CMD_CHAR character received and the next non-UART_AT_CMD_CHAR,
there are at least UART_POST_IDLE_NUM APB clock cycles.
13.3.6 Flow Control
UART controller supports both hardware and software flow control. Hardware flow control regulates data flow
through input signal dsrn_in and output signal rtsn_out. Software flow control regulates data flow by inserting
special characters in the flow of sent data and by detecting special characters in the flow of received data.
13.3.6.1 Hardware Flow Control
Figure 82: Hardware Flow Control
Figure 82 illustrates how the UART hardware flow control works. In hardware flow control, a high state of the
output signal rtsn_out signifies that a data transmission is requested, while a low state of the same signal notifies
the counterpart to stop data transmission until rtsn_out is pulled high again. There are two ways for a transmitter
to realize hardware flow control:
• UART_RX_FLOW_EN is 0: The level of rtsn_out can be changed by configuring UART_SW_RTS.
• UART_RX_FLOW_EN is 1: If data in Rx_FIFO is greater than UART_RXFIFO_FULL_THRHD, the level of
rtsn_out will be lowered.
If the UART controller detects an edge on ctsn_in, it will generate interrupt UART_CTS_CHG_INT and will stop
transmitting data, once the current data transmission is completed.
The high level of the output signal dtrn_out signifies that the transmitter has finished data preparation. UART
controller will generate interrupt UART_DSR_CHG_INT, after it detects an edge on the input signal dsrn_in. After
Espressif Systems
326
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
13. UART CONTROLLERS
the software detects the above-mentioned interrupt, the input signal level of dsrn_in can be figured out by
reading UART_DSRN. The software then decides whether it is able to receive data at that time or not.
Setting UART_LOOPBACK will enable the UART loopback detection function. In this mode, the output signal
txd_out of UART is connected to its input signal rxd_in, rtsn_out is connected to ctsn_in, and dtrn_out is
connected to dsrn_out. If the data transmitted corresponds to the data received, UART is able to transmit and
receive data normally.
13.3.6.2 Software Flow Control
Software can force the transmitter to stop transmitting data by setting UART_FORCE_XOFF, as well as force the
transmitter to continue sending data by setting UART_FORCE_XON.
UART can also control the software flow by transmitting special characters. Setting UART_SW_FLOW_CON_EN
will enable the software flow control function. If the number of data bytes that UART has received exceeds that of
the UART_XOFF threshold, the UART controller can send UART_XOFF_CHAR to instruct its counterpart to stop
data transmission.
When UART_SW_FLOW_CON_EN is 1, software can send flow control characters at any time. When
UART_SEND_XOFF is set, the transmitter will insert a UART_XOFF_CHAR and send it after the current data
transmission is completed. When UART_SEND_XON is set, the transmitter will insert a UART_XON_CHAR and
send it after the current data transmission is completed.
13.3.7 UART DMA
For information on the UART DMA, please refer to Chapter DMA Controller.
13.3.8 UART Interrupts
• UART_AT_CMD_CHAR_DET_INT: Triggered when the receiver detects the configured at_cmd char.
• UART_RS485_CLASH_INT: Triggered when a collision is detected between transmitter and receiver in
RS-485 mode.

LED_PWM
14.1
Introduction
The LED_PWM controller is primarily designed to control the intensity of LEDs, although it can be used to
generate PWM signals for other purposes as well. It has 16 channels which can generate independent
waveforms that can be used to drive RGB LED devices. For maximum flexibility, the high-speed as well as the
low-speed channels can be driven from one of four high-speed/low-speed timers. The PWM controller also has
the ability to automatically increase or decrease the duty cycle gradually, allowing for fades without any processor
interference. To increase resolution, the LED_PWM controller is also able to dither between two values, when a
fractional PWM value is configured.
The LED_PWM controller has eight high-speed and eight low-speed PWM generators. In this document, they will
be referred to as hschn and lschn, respectively. These channels can be driven from four timers which will be
indicated by h_timerx and l_timerx.
14.2
Functional Description
14.2.1 Architecture
Figure 83 shows the architecture of the LED_PWM controller. As can be seen in the figure, the LED_PWM
controller contains eight high-speed and eight low-speed channels. There are four high-speed clock modules for
the high-speed channels, from which one h_timerx can be selected. There are also four low-speed clock
modules for the low-speed channels, from which one l_timerx can be selected.
Figure 83: LED_PWM Architecture
Figure 84 illustrates a PWM channel with its selected timer; in this instance a high-speed channel and associated
high-speed timer.

14.2.2 Timers
Figure 85: LED_PWM Divider
A high-speed timer consists of a multiplexer to select one of two clock sources: either REF_TICK or APB_CLK.
For more information on the clock sources, please see Chapter Reset And Clock. The input clock is divided
down by a divider first. The division factor is specified by LEDC_CLK_DIV_NUM_HSTIMERx which contains a
fixed point number: the highest 10 bits represent the integer portion A, while the lowest eight bits contain the
fractional portion B. The effective division factor is as follows:
B
LEDC_CLK_DIV _N U M _HST IM ERx = A 256
Figure 85 shows the input/output clock when the fractional portion B is not 0. As shown in the firgure, the 256
output clocks consist of B output clocks as result of division by (A+1) divider and (256-B) output clocks as result
of division by A divider. The B output clocks are evenly distributed in the 256 output clocks.
The output clock of the divider is the base clock for the counter which will count up to the value specified in
LEDC_HSTIMERx_DUTY_RES. An overflow interrupt will be generated once the counting value reaches
2LEDC_HST IM ERx_DU T Y _RES − 1, at which point the counter restarts counting from 0. It is also possible to
reset, suspend, and read the values of the counter by software.
The output signal of the timer is the 20-bit value generated by the counter. The cycle period of this signal defines
the frequency of the signals of any PWM channels connected to this timer. This frequency depends on both the
division factor of the divider, as well as the range of the counter:
fsig_out =
fREF_TICK · (!LEDC_TICK_SEL_HSTIMERx) + fAPB_CLK · LEDC_TICK_SEL_HSTIMERx
LEDC_CLK_DIV_NUM_HSTIMERx · 2LEDC_HSTIMERx_DUTY_RES
The low-speed timers l_timerx on the low-speed channel differ from the high-speed timers h_timerx in two
aspects:
1. Where the high-speed timer clock source can be clocked from REF_TICK or APB_CLK, the low-speed
timers are sourced from either REF_TICK or SLOW_CLOCK. The SLOW_CLOCK source can be either
APB_CLK (80 MHz) or 8 MHz, and can be selected using LEDC_APB_CLK_SEL.
2. The high-speed counter and divider are glitch-free, which means that if the software modifies the maximum
counter or divisor value, the update will come into effect after the next overflow interrupt. In contrast, the
low-speed counter and divider will update these values only when LEDC_LSTIMERx_PARA_UP is set.
14.2.3 Channels
A channel takes the 20-bit value from the counter of the selected high-speed timer and compares it to a set of
two values in order to set the channel output. The first value it is compared to is the content of
Espressif Systems
360
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
14. LED_PWM
LEDC_HPOINT_HSCHn; if these two match, the output will be latched high. The second value is the sum of
LEDC_HPOINT_HSCHn and LEDC_DUTY_HSCHn[24..4]. When this value is reached, the output is latched low.
By using these two values, the relative phase and the duty cycle of the PWM output can be set. Figure 86
illustrates this.
Figure 86: LED PWM Output Signal Diagram
LEDC_DUTY_HSCHn is a fixed-point register with four fractional bits. As mentioned before, when
LEDC_DUTY_HSCHn[24..4] is used in the PWM calculation directly, LEDC_DUTY_HSCHn[3..0] can be used to
dither the output. If this value is non-zero, with a statistical chance of LEDC_DUTY_HSCHn[3..0]/16, the actual
PWM pulse will be one cycle longer. This effectively increases the resolution of the PWM generator to 24 bits, but
at the cost of a slight jitter in the duty cycle.
The channels also have the ability to automatically fade from one duty cycle value to another. This feature is
enabled by setting LEDC_DUTY_START_HSCHn. When this bit is set, the PWM controller will automatically
increment or decrement the value in LEDC_DUTY_HSCHn, depending on whether the bit
LEDC_DUTY_INC_HSCHn is set or cleared, respectively. The speed the duty cycle changes is defined as such:
every time the LEDC_DUTY_CYCLE_HSCHn cycles, the content of LEDC_DUTY_SCALE_HSCHn is added to or
subtracted from LEDC_DUTY_HSCHn[24..4]. The length of the fade can be limited by setting
LEDC_DUTY_NUM_HSCHn: the fade will only last that number of cycles before finishing. A finished fade also
generates an interrupt.
Figure 87: Output Signal Diagram of Gradient Duty Cycle
Figure 87 is an illustration of this. In this configuration, LEDC_DUTY_NUM_HSCHn_R increases by
LEDC_DUTY_SCALE_HSCHn for every LEDC_DUTY_CYCLE_HSCHn clock cycles, which is reflected in the duty
cycle of the output signal.
14.2.4 Interrupts
• LEDC_DUTY_CHNG_END_LSCHn_INT: Triggered when a fade on a low-speed channel has finished.
• LEDC_DUTY_CHNG_END_HSCHn_INT: Triggered when a fade on a high-speed channel has finished.
• LEDC_HS_TIMERx_OVF_INT: Triggered when a high-speed timer has reached its maximum counter value.
• LEDC_LS_TIMERx_OVF_INT: Triggered when a low-speed timer has reached its maximum counter value.

Introduction
The RMT (Remote Control) module is primarily designed to send and receive infrared remote control signals that
implement on-off keying in a carrier frequency, but due to its design it can be used to generate various types of
signals. An RMT transmitter does this by reading consecutive duration values of an active and inactive output
from the built-in RAM block, optionally modulating it with a carrier wave. A receiver will inspect its input signal,
optionally filtering it, and will place the lengths of time the signal is active and inactive in the RAM block.
The RMT module has eight channels, numbered zero to seven; registers, signals and blocks that are duplicated
in each channel are indicated by an n which is used as a placeholder for the channel number.
15.2
Functional Description
15.2.1 RMT Architecture
Figure 88: RMT Architecture
The RMT module contains eight channels. Each channel has both a transmitter and a receiver, but only one of
them can be active in every channel. The eight channels share a 512x32-bit RAM block which can be read and
written by the processor cores over the APB bus, read by the transmitters, and written by the receivers. The
transmitted signal can optionally be modulated by a carrier wave. Each channel is clocked by a divided-down
signal derived from either the APB bus clock or REF_TICK.

15.2.2 RMT RAM
Figure 89: Data Structure
The data structure in RAM is shown in Figure 89. Each 32-bit value contains two 16-bit entries, with two fields in
every entry, ”level” and ”period”. ”Level” indicates whether a high-/low-level value was received or is going to be
sent, while ”period” points out the divider-clock cycles for which the level lasts. A zero period is interpreted as an
end-marker: the transmitter will stop transmitting once it has read this, and the receiver will write this, once it has
detected that the signal it received has gone idle.
Normally, only one block of 64x32-bit worth of data can be sent or received. If the data size is larger than this
block size, blocks can be extended or the channel can be configured for the wraparound mode.
The RMT RAM can be accessed via the APB bus. The initial address is the RMT base address + 0x800. The
RAM block is divided into eight 64x32-bit blocks. By default, each channel uses one block (block zero for
channel zero, block one for channel one, and so on). Users can extend the memory to a specific channel by
configuring the RMT_MEM_SIZE_CHn register; setting this to >1 will prompt the channel to use the memory of
subsequent channels as well. The RAM address range of channel n is start_addr_CHn to end_addr_CHn, which
is defined by:
start_addr_chn = RMT base address + 0x800 + 64 ∗ 4 ∗ n, and
end_addr_chn = RMT base address + 0x800 + (64 ∗ 4 ∗ n + 64 ∗ 4 ∗ RMT_MEM_SIZE_CHn)mod(512 ∗ 4) − 4
To protect a receiver from overwriting the blocks a transmitter is about to transmit, RMT_MEM_OWNER_CHn
can be configured to designate the owner, be it a transmitter or receiver, of channel n’s RAM block. This way, if
this ownership is violated, the RMT_CHn_ERR interrupt will be generated.
Note: When enabling the continuous transmission mode by setting RMT_REG_TX_CONTI_MODE, the
transmitter will transmit the data on the channel continuously, that is, from the first byte to the last one, then from
the first to the last again, and so on. In this mode, there will be an idle level lasting one clk_div cycle between N
and N+1 transmissions.
15.2.3 Clock
The main clock of a channel is generated by taking either the 80 MHz APB clock or REF_TICK (usually 1MHz),
according to the state of RMT_REF_ALWAYS_ON_CHn. (For more information on clock sources, please see
Chapter Reset And Clock.) Then, the aforementioned state gets scaled down using a configurable 8-bit divider to
create the channel clock which is used by both the carrier wave generator and the counter. The divider value can
be set by configuring RMT_DIV_CNT_CHn.

ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
15. REMOTE CONTROL PERIPHERAL
15.2.4 Transmitter
When the RMT_TX_START_CHn register is 1, the transmitter of channel n will start reading and sending data
from RAM. The transmitter will receive a 32-bit value each time it reads from RAM. Of these 32 bits, the low
16-bit entry is sent first and the high entry second.
To transmit more data than can be fitted in the channel’s RAM, the wraparound mode can be enabled. In this
mode, when the transmitter has reached the last entry in the channel’s memory, it will loop back to the first byte.
To use this mechanism for sending more data than can be fitted in the channel’s RAM, fill the RAM with the initial
events and set RMT_CHn_TX_LIM_REG to cause an RMT_CHn_TX_THR_EVENT_INT interrupt before the
wraparound happens. Then, when the interrupt happens, the already sent data should be replaced by
subsequent events, so that when the wraparound happens the transmitter will seamlessly continue sending the
new events.
With or without the wraparound mode enabled, transmission ends when an entry with zero length is
encountered. When this happens, the transmitter will generate an RMT_CHn_TX_END_INT interrupt and return
to the idle state. When a transmitter is in the idle state, the output level defaults to end-mark 0. Users can also
configure RMT_IDLE_OUT_EN_CHn and RMT_IDLE_OUT_LV_CHn to control the output level manually.
The output of the transmitter can be modulated using a carrier wave by setting RMT_CARRIER_EN_CHn. The
carrier frequency and duty cycle can be configured by adjusting the carrier’s high and low durations in
channel-clock cycles, in RMT_CARRIER_HIGH_CHn and RMT_CARRIER_HIGH_CHn.
15.2.5 Receiver
When RMT_RX_EN_CHn is set to 1, the receiver in channel n becomes active, measuring the duration between
input signal edges. These will be written as period/level value pairs to the channel RAM in the same fashion as
the transmitter sends them. Receiving ends, when the receiver detects no change in signal level for more than
RMT_IDLE_THRES_CHn channel clock ticks. The receiver will write a final entry with 0 period, generate an
RMT_CHn_RX_END_INT_RAW interrupt and return to the idle state.
The receiver has an input signal filter which can be configured using RMT_RX_FILTER_EN_CHn: The filter will
remove pulses with a length of less than RMT_RX_FILTER_THRES_CHn in APB clock periods.
When the RMT module is inactive, the RAM can be put into low-power mode by setting the RMT_MEM_PD
register to 1.
15.2.6 Interrupts
• RMT_CHn_TX_THR_EVENT_INT: Triggered when the amount of data the transmitter has sent matches the
value of RMT_CHn_TX_LIM_REG.
• RMT_CHn_TX_END_INT: Triggered when the transmitter has finished transmitting the signal.
• RMT_CHn_RX_END_INT: Triggered when the receiver has finished receiving a signal.

RMT_IDLE_OUT_EN_CHn This is the output enable-control bit for channel n in IDLE state. (R/W)
RMT_IDLE_OUT_LV_CHn This bit configures the level of output signals in channel n when the latter
is in IDLE state. (R/W)
RMT_REF_ALWAYS_ON_CHn This bit is used to select the channel’s base clock.
1:clk_apb;
0:clk_ref. (R/W)
RMT_REF_CNT_RST_CHn Setting this bit resets the clock divider of channel n. (R/W)
RMT_RX_FILTER_THRES_CHn In receive mode, channel n ignores input pulse when the pulse width
is smaller than this value in APB clock periods. (R/W)
RMT_RX_FILTER_EN_CHn This is the receive filter’s enable-bit for channel n. (R/W)
RMT_TX_CONTI_MODE_CHn If this bit is set, instead of going to an idle state when transmission
ends, the transmitter will restart transmission. This results in a repeating output signal. (R/W)
RMT_MEM_OWNER_CHn This bit marks channel n’s RAM block ownership. Number 1 indicates
that the receiver is using the RAM, while 0 indicates that the transmitter is using the RAM. (R/W)
RMT_MEM_RD_RST_CHn Set this bit to reset the read-RAM address for channel n by accessing the
transmitter. (R/W)
RMT_MEM_WR_RST_CHn Set this bit to reset the write-RAM address for channel n by accessing
the receiver. (R/W)
RMT_RX_EN_CHn Set this bit to enable receiving data on channel n. (R/W)

MCPWM
16.1
Introduction
The Motor Control Pulse Width Modulator (MCPWM) peripheral is intended for motor and power control. It
provides six PWM outputs that can be set up to operate in several topologies. One common topology uses a pair
of PWM outputs driving an H-bridge to control motor rotation speed and rotation direction.
The timing and control resources inside are allocated into two major types of submodules: PWM timers and
PWM operators. Each PWM timer provides timing references that can either run freely or be synced to other
timers or external sources. Each PWM operator has all necessary control resources to generate waveform pairs
for one PWM channel. The MCPWM peripheral also contains a dedicated capture submodule that is used in
systems where accurate timing of external events is important.
ESP32 contains two MCPWM peripherals: MCPWM0 and MCPWM1. Their control registers are located in 4-KB
memory blocks starting at memory locations 0x3FF5E000 and 0x3FF6C000 respectively.

Features
Each MCPWM peripheral has one clock divider (prescaler), three PWM timers, three PWM operators, and a
capture module. Figure 90 shows the submodules inside and the signals on the interface. PWM timers are used
for generating timing references. The PWM operators generate desired waveform based on the timing
references. Any PWM operator can be configured to use the timing references of any PWM timers. Different
PWM operators can use the same PWM timer’s timing references to produce related PWM signals. PWM
operators can also use different PWM timers’ values to produce the PWM signals that work alone. Different PWM
timers can also be synced together.

16.3.2 PWM Timer Submodule
Each MCPWM module has three PWM timer submodules. Any of them can determine the necessary event
timing for any of the three PWM operator submodules. Built-in synchronization logic allows multiple PWM timer
submodules, in one or more MCPWM modules, to work together as a system, when using synchronization
signals from the GPIO matrix.
16.3.2.1 Configurations of the PWM Timer Submodule
Users can configure the following functions of the PWM timer submodule:
• Control how often events occur by specifying the PWM timer frequency or period.
Espressif Systems
389
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9

• Configure a particular PWM timer to synchronize with other PWM timers or modules.
• Get a PWM timer in phase with other PWM timers or modules.
• Set one of the following timer counting modes: count-up, count-down, count-up-down.
• Change the rate of the PWM timer clock (PT_clk) with a prescaler. Each timer has its own prescaler
configured with PWM_TIMERx_PRESCALE of register PWM_TIMER0_CFG0_REG. The PWM timer
increments or decrements at a slower pace, depending on the setting of this register.
16.3.2.2 PWM Timer’s Working Modes and Timing Event Generation
The PWM timer has three working modes, selected by the PWMx timer mode register:
• Count-Up Mode:
In this mode, the PWM timer increments from zero until reaching the value configured in the period register.
Once done, the PWM timer returns to zero and starts increasing again. PWM period is equal to the period
value configured in register.
• Count-Down Mode:
The PWM timer decrements to zero, starting from the value configured in the period register. After reaching
zero, it is set back to the period value. Then it starts to decrement again. In this case, the PWM period is
also equal to the value configured in the period register.
• Count-Up-Down Mode:
This is a combination of the two modes mentioned above. The PWM timer starts increasing from zero until
the period value is reached. Then, the timer decreases back to zero. This pattern is then repeated. The
PWM period is the result of the value in the period register multiplied by 2.
Figures 96 to 99 show PWM timer waveforms in different modes, including timer behavior during synchronization
events.

When the PWM timer is running, it generates the following timing events periodically and automatically:
• UTEP
The timing event generated when the PWM timer’s value equals to the value of the period register
(PWM_TIMERx_PERIOD) and when the PWM timer is increasing.
• UTEZ
The timing event generated when the PWM timer’s value equals to zero and when the PWM timer is
increasing.
• DTEP
The timing event generated when the PWM timer’s value equals to the value of the period register
(PWM_TIMERx_PERIOD) and when the PWM timer is decreasing.
• DTEZ
The timing event generated when the PWM timer’s value equals to zero and when the PWM timer is
decreasing.

16.3.2.3 PWM Timer Shadow Register
The PWM timer’s period register and the PWM timer’s clock prescaler register have shadow registers. The
purpose of a shadow register is to save a copy of the value to be written into the active register at a specific
moment synchronized with the hardware. Both register types are defined as follows:
• Active Register
This register is directly responsible for controlling all actions performed by hardware.
• Shadow Register
It acts as a temporary buffer for a value to be written on the active register. Before this happens, the content
of the shadow register has no direct effect on the controlled hardware. At a specific, user-configured point
in time, the value saved in the shadow register is copied to the active register. This helps to prevent spurious
operation of the hardware, which may happen when a register is asynchronously modified by software.
Both the shadow register and the active register have the same memory address. The software always
writes into, or reads from the shadow register. The moment of updating the active register is determined by
its specific update method register. The update can start when the PWM timer is equal to zero, when the
PWM timer is equal to period,at a synchronization moment, or immediately. Software can trigger a globally
forced update which will prompt all registers in the module to be updated according to shadow registers.
16.3.2.4 PWM Timer Synchronization and Phase Locking
The PWM modules adopt a flexible synchronization method. Each PWM timer has a synchronization input and a
synchronization output. The synchronization input can be selected from three synchronization outputs and three
synchronization signals from the GPIO matrix. The synchronization output can be generated from the
synchronization input signal, or when the PWM timer’s value is equal to period or zero. Thus, the PWM timers
can be chained together with their phase locked. During synchronization, the PWM timer clock prescaler will
reset its counter in order to synchronize the PWM timer clock.
16.3.3 PWM Operator Submodule
The PWM Operator submodule has the following functions:
• Generates a PWM signal pair, based on timing references obtained from the corresponding PWM timer.
• Each signal out of the PWM signal pair includes a specific pattern of dead time.
• Superimposes a carrier on the PWM signal, if configured to do so.
• Handles response under fault conditions.

16.3.3.1 PWM Generator Submodule
Purpose of the PWM Generator Submodule
In this submodule, important timing events are generated or imported. The events are then converted into
specific actions to generate the desired waveforms at the PWMxA and PWMxB outputs.
The PWM generator submodule performs the following actions:
• Generation of timing events based on time stamps configured using the A and B registers. Events happen
when the following conditions are satisfied:
– UTEA: the PWM timer is counting up and its value is equal to register A.
– UTEB: the PWM timer is counting up and its value is equal to register B.
– DTEA: the PWM timer is counting down and its value is equal to register A.
– DTEB: the PWM timer is counting down and its value is equal to register B.
• Generation of U/DT1, U/DT2 timing events based on fault or synchronization events.
• Management of priority when these timing events occur concurrently.
• Qualification and generation of set, clear and toggle actions, based on the timing events.
• Controlling of the PWM duty cycle, depending on configuration of the PWM generator submodule.
• Handling of new time stamp values, using shadow, registers to prevent glitches in the PWM cycle.
PWM Operator Shadow Registers
The time stamp registers A and B, as well as action configuration registers PWM_GENx_A_REG and
PWM_GENx_B_REG are shadowed. Shadowing provides a way of updating registers in sync with the hardware.
For a description of the shadow registers, please see 16.3.2.3.

Software-force event

PWM timer counts down.
PWM timer counts up.
N/A
The purpose of a software-force event is to impose non-continuous or continuous changes on the PWMxA and
PWMxB outputs. The change is done asynchronously. Software-force control is handled by the
PWM_PWM_GENx_FORCE_REG registers.
The selection and configuration of T0/T1 in the PWM generator submodule is independent of the configuration of
fault events in the fault handler submodule. A particular trip event may or may not be configured to cause trip
action in the fault handler submodule, but the same event can be used by the PWM generator to trigger T0/T1
for controlling PWM waveforms.
It is important to know that when the PWM timer is in count-up-down mode, it will always decrement after a TEP
event, and will always increment after a TEZ event. So when the PWM timer is in count-up-down mode, DTEP
and UTEZ events will occur, while the events UTEP and DTEZ will never occur.
The PWM generator can handle multiple events at the same time. Events are prioritized by the hardware and
relevant details are provided in Table 69 and Table 70. Priority levels range from 1 (the highest) to 7 (the lowest).
Please note that the priority of TEP and TEZ events depends on the PWM timer’s direction.
If the value of A or B is set to be greater than the period, then U/DTEA and U/DTEB will never occur.

Notes:
1. UTEP and UTEZ do not happen simultaneously. When the PWM timer is in count-up mode, UTEP will
always happen one cycle earlier than UTEZ, as demonstrated in Figure 100, so their action on PWM signals
will not interrupt each other. When the PWM timer is in count-up-down mode, UTEP will not occur.
2. DTEP and DTEZ do not happen simultaneously. When the PWM timer is in count-down mode, DTEZ will
always happen one cycle earlier than DTEP, as demonstrated in Figure 101, so their action on PWM signals
will not interrupt each other. When the PWM timer is in count-up-down mode, DTEZ will not occur.
PWM Signal Generation
The PWM generator submodule controls the behavior of outputs PWMxA and PWMxB when a particular timing
event occurs. The timing events are further qualified by the PWM timer’s counting direction (up or down).
Knowing the counting direction, the submodule may then perform an independent action at each stage of the
PWM timer counting up or down.
The following actions may be configured on outputs PWMxA and PWMxB:
• Set High:
Set the output of PWMxA or PWMxB to a high level.
• Clear Low:
Clear the output of PWMxA or PWMxB by setting it to a low level.
• Toggle:
Change the current output level of PWMxA or PWMxB to the opposite value. If it is currently pulled high,
pull it low, or vice versa.
• Do Nothing:
Keep both outputs PWMxA and PWMxB unchanged. In this state, interrupts can still be triggered.
The configuration of actions on outputs is done by using registers PWN_GENx_A_REG and PWN_GENx_B_REG.
So, the action to be taken on each output is set independently. Also there is great flexibility in selecting actions to
be taken on a given output based on events. More specifically, any event listed in Table 68 can operate on either
output PWMxA or PWMxB. To check out registers for particular generator 0, 1 or 2, please refer to register

Waveforms for Common Configurations
Figure 104 presents the symmetric PWM waveform generated when the PWM timer is counting up and down.
DC 0%–100% modulation can be calculated via the formula below:
Duty = (P eriod − A) ÷ P eriod
If A matches the PWM timer value and the PWM timer is incrementing, then the PWM output is pulled up. If A
matches the PWM timer value while the PWM timer is decrementing, then the PWM output is pulled low.

The PWM waveforms in Figures 105 to 108 show some common PWM operator configurations. The following

Software-Force Events
There are two types of software-force events inside the PWM generator:
• Non-continuous-immediate (NCI) software-force events
Such types of events are immediately effective on PWM outputs when triggered by software. The forcing is
non-continuous, meaning the next active timing events will be able to alter the PWM outputs.
• Continuous (CNTU) software-force events
Such types of events are continuous. The forced PWM outputs will continue until they are released by
software. The events’ triggers are configurable. They can be timing events or immediate events.
Figure 109 shows a waveform of NCI software-force events. NCI events are used to force PWMxA output low.

16.3.3.2 Dead Time Generator Submodule
Purpose of the Dead Time Generator Submodule
Several options to generate signals on PWMxA and PWMxB outputs, with a specific placement of signal edges,
have been discussed in section 16.3.3.1. The required dead time is obtained by altering the edge placement
between signals and by setting the signal’s duty cycle. Another option is to control the dead time using a
specialized submodule – the Dead Time Generator.
The key functions of the dead time generator submodule are as follows:
• Generating signal pairs (PWMxA and PWMxB) with a dead time from a single PWMxA input
• Creating a dead time by adding delay to signal edges:
– Rising edge delay (RED)
– Falling edge delay (FED)
• Configuring the signal pairs to be:
– Active high complementary (AHC)
– Active low complementary (ALC)
– Active high (AH)
– Active low (AL)
• This submodule may also be bypassed, if the dead time is configured directly in the generator submodule.
Dead Time Generator’s Shadow Registers
Delay registers RED and FED are shadowed with registers PWM_DTx_RED_CFG_REG and
PWM_DTx_FED_CFG_REG. For the description of shadow registers, please see section 16.3.2.3.

be categorized as follows:
• Mode 1: Bypass delays on both falling (FED) as well as raising edge (RED)
In this mode the dead time submodule is disabled. Signals PWMxA and PWMxB pass through without any
modifications.
• Mode 2-5: Classical Dead Time Polarity Settings
These modes represent typical configurations of polarity and should cover the active-high/low modes in

16.3.3.3 PWM Carrier Submodule
The coupling of PWM output to a motor driver may need isolation with a transformer. Transformers deliver only
AC signals, while the duty cycle of a PWM signal may range anywhere from 0% to 100%. The PWM carrier
submodule passes such a PWM signal through a transformer by using a high frequency carrier to modulate the
signal.
Function Overview
The following key characteristics of this submodule are configurable:
• Carrier frequency
• Pulse width of the first pulse
• Duty cycle of the second and the subsequent pulses
• Enabling/disabling the carrier function
Operational Highlights
The PWM carrier clock (PC_clk) is derived from PWM_clk. The frequency and duty cycle are configured by the
PWM_CARRIERx_PRESCALE and PWM_CARRIERx_DUTY bits in the PWM_CARRIERx_CFG_REG register. The
purpose of one-shot pulses is to provide high-energy impulse to reliably turn on the power switch. Subsequent
pulses sustain the power-on status. The width of a one-shot pulse is configurable with the
PWM_CARRIERx_OSHTWTH bits. Enabling/disabling of the carrier submodule is done with the
PWM_CARRIERx_EN bit.
Waveform Examples
Figure 116 shows an example of waveforms, where a carrier is superimposed on original PWM pulses. This
figure do not show the first one-shot pulse and the duty-cycle control. Related details are covered in the following
two sections.

One-Shot Pulse
The width of the first pulse is configurable. It may assume one of 16 possible values and is described by the
formula below:
T1stpulse = TP W M _clk × 8 × (P W M _CARRIERx_P RESCALE + 1) × (P W M _CARRIERx_OSHT W T H + 1)
Where:
• TP M W _clk is the period of the PWM clock (PWM_clk).
• (P W M _CARRIERx_OSHT W T H + 1) is the width of the first pulse (whose value ranges from 1 to 16).
• (P W M _CARRIERx_P RESCALE + 1) is the PWM carrier clock’s (PC_clk) prescaler value.
The first one-shot pulse and subsequent sustaining pulses are shown in Figure 117.
Duty Cycle Control
After issuing the first one-shot pulse, the remaining PWM signal is modulated according to the carrier frequency.
Users can configure the duty cycle of this signal. Tuning of duty may be required, so that the signal passes
through the isolating transformer and can still operate (turn on/off) the motor drive, changing rotation speed and
direction.
The duty cycle may be set to one of seven values, using PWM_CARRIERx_DUTY, or bits [7:5] of register
PWM_CARRIERx_CFG_REG.
Below is the formula for calculating the duty cycle:
Duty = P W M _CARRIERx_DU T Y ÷ 8

16.3.3.4 Fault Handler Submodule
Each MCPWM peripheral is connected to three fault signals (FAULT0, FAULT1 and FAULT2) which are sourced
from the GPIO matrix. These signals are intended to indicate external fault conditions, and may be preprocessed
by the fault detection submodule to generate fault events. Fault events can then execute the user code to control

16. MCPWM
MCPWM outputs in response to specific faults.
Function of Fault Handler Submodule
The key actions performed by the fault handler submodule are:
• Forcing outputs PWMxA and PWMxB, upon detected fault, to one of the following states:
– High
– Low
– Toggle
– No action taken
• Execution of one-shot trip (OST) upon detection of over-current conditions/short circuits.
• Cycle-by-cycle tripping (CBC) to provide current-limiting operation.
• Allocation of either one-shot or cycle-by-cycle operation for each fault signal.
• Generation of interrupts for each fault input.
• Support for software-force tripping.
• Enabling or disabling of submodule function as required.
Operation and Configuration Tips
This section provides the operational tips and set-up options for the fault handler submodule.
Fault signals coming from pads are sampled and synced in the GPIO matrix. In order to guarantee the successful
sampling of fault pulses, each pulse duration must be at least two APB clock cycles. The fault detection
submodule will then sample fault signals by using PWM_clk. So, the duration of fault pulses coming from GPIO
matrix must be at least one PWM_clk cycle. Differently put, regardless of the period relation between APB clock
and PWM_clk, the width of fault signal pulses on pads must be at least equal to the sum of two APB clock cycles
and one PWM_clk cycle.
Each level of fault signals, FAULT0 to FAULT2, can be used by the fault handler submodule to generate fault
events (fault_event0 to fault_event2). Every fault event can be configured individually to provide CBC action, OST
action, or none.
• Cycle-by-Cycle (CBC) action:
When CBC action is triggered, the state of PWMxA and PWMxB will be changed immediately according to
the configuration of registers PWM_FHx_A_CBC_U/D and PWM_FHx_B_CBC_U/D. Different actions can
be indicted when the PWM timer is incrementing or decrementing. Different CBC action interrupts can be
triggered for different fault events. Status register PWM_FHx_CBC_ON indicates whether a CBC action is
on or off. When the fault event is no longer present, CBC actions on PWMxA/B will be cleared at a
specified point, which is either a D/UTEP or D/UTEZ event. Register PWM_FHx_CBCPULSE determines at
which event PWMxA and PWMxB will be able to resume normal actions. Therefore, in this mode, the CBC
action is cleared or refreshed upon every PWM cycle.
• One-Shot (OST) action:
Espressif Systems
412
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
16. MCPWM
When OST action is triggered, the state of PWMxA and PWMxB will be changed immediately, depending
on the setting of registers PWM_FHx_A_OST_U/D and PWM_FHx_B_OST_U/D. Different actions can be
configured when PWM timer is incrementing or decrementing. Different OST action interrupts can be
triggered form different fault events. Status register PWM_FHx_OST_ON indicates whether an OST action
is on or off. The OST actions on PWMxA/B are not automatically cleared when the fault event is no longer
present. One-shot actions must be cleared manually by negating the value stored in register
PWM_FHx_CLR_OST.
16.3.4 Capture Submodule
16.3.4.1 Introduction
The capture submodule contains three complete capture channels. Channel inputs CAP0, CAP1 and CAP2 are
sourced from the GPIO matrix. Thanks to the flexibility of the GPIO matrix, CAP0, CAP1 and CAP2 can be
configured from any PAD input. Multiple capture channels can be sourced from the same PAD input, while
prescaling for each channel can be set differently. Also, capture channels are sourced from different PADs. This
provides several options for handling capture signals by hardware in the background, instead of having them
processed directly by the CPU. A capture submodule has the following independent key resources:
• One 32-bit timer (counter) which can be synchronized with the PWM timer, another submodule or software.
• Three capture channels, each equipped with a 32-bit time-stamp and a capture prescaler.
• Independent edge polarity (rising/falling edge) selection for any capture channel.
• Input capture signal prescaling (from 1 to 256).
• Interrupt capabilities on any of the three capture events.
16.3.4.2 Capture Timer
The capture timer is a 32-bit counter incrementing continuously, once enabled. On the input it has an APB clock
running typically at 80 MHz. At a sync event the counter is loaded with phase stored in register
PWM_CAP_TIMER_PHASE_REG. Sync events can come from PWM timers sync-out, PWM module sync-in or
software. The capture timer provides timing references for all three capture channels.
16.3.4.3 Capture Channel
The capture signal coming to a capture channel will be inverted first, if needed, and then prescaled. Finally,
specified edges of preprocessed capture signal will trigger capture events. When a capture event occurs, the
capture timer’s value is stored in time-stamp register PWM_CAP_CHx_REG. Different interrupts can be
generated for different capture channels at capture events. The edge that triggers a capture event is recorded in
register PWM_CAPx_EDGE. The capture event can be also forced by software.

Introduction
The pulse counter module is designed to count the number of rising and/or falling edges of an input signal. Each
pulse counter unit has a 16-bit signed counter register and two channels that can be configured to either
increment or decrement the counter. Each channel has a signal input that accepts signal edges to be detected,
as well as a control input that can be used to enable or disable the signal input. The inputs have optional filters
that can be used to discard unwanted glitches in the signal.
The pulse counter has eight independent units, referred to as PULSE_CNT_Un.
17.2
Functional Description
17.2.1 Architecture
Figure 119: PULSE_CNT Architecture
The architecture of a pulse counter unit is illustrated in Figure 119. Each unit has two channels: ch0 and ch1,
which are functionally equivalent. Each channel has a signal input, as well as a control input, which can both be
connected to I/O pads. The counting behavior on both the positive and negative edge can be configured
separately to increase, decrease, or do nothing to the counter value. Separately, for both control signal levels, the
hardware can be configured to modify the edge action: invert it, disable it, or do nothing. The counter itself is a
16-bit signed up/down counter. Its value can be read by software directly, but is also monitored by a set of
comparators which can trigger an interrupt.
17.2.2 Counter Channel Inputs
As stated before, the two inputs of a channel can affect the pulse counter in various ways. The specifics of this
behaviour are set by LCTRL_MODE and HCTRL_MODE in this case when the control signal is low or high,
respectively, and POS_MODE and NEG_MODE for positive and negative edges of the input signal. Setting
POS_MODE and NEG_MODE to 1 will increase the counter when an edge is detected, setting them to 2 will
decrease the counter and setting at any other value will neutralize the effect of the edge on the counter.
LCTR_MODE and HCTR_MODE modify this behaviour, when the control input has the corresponding low or high
Espressif Systems

17. PULSE_CNT
value: 0 does not modify the NEG_MODE and POS_MODE behaviour, 1 inverts it (setting
POS_MODE/NEG_MODE to increase the counter should now decrease the counter and vice versa) and any
other value disables counter effects for that signal level.
To summarize, a few examples have been considered. In this table, the effect on the counter for a rising edge is
shown for both a low and a high control signal, as well as various other configuration options. For clarity, a short
description in brackets is added after the values. Note: x denotes ’do not care’.

This table is also valid for negative edges (sig h→l) on substituting NEG_MODE for POS_MODE.
Each pulse counter unit also features a filter on each of the four inputs, adding the option to ignore short glitches
in the signals. If a PCNT_FILTER_EN_Un can be set to filter the four input signals of the unit. If this filter is
enabled, any pulses shorter than REG_FILTER_THRES_Un number of APB_CLK clock cycles will be filtered out
and will have no effect on the counter. With the filter disabled, in theory infinitely small glitches could possibly
trigger pulse counter action. However, in practice the signal inputs are sampled on APB_CLK edges and even
with the filter disabled, pulse widths lasting shorter than one APB_CLK cycle may be missed.
Apart from the input channels, software also has some control over the counter. In particular, the counter value
can be frozen to the current value by configuring PCNT_CNT_PAUSE_Un. It can also be reset to 0 by configuring
PCNT_PULSE_CNT_RST_Un.
17.2.3 Watchpoints
The pulse counters have five watchpoints that share one interrupt. Interrupt generation can be enabled or
disabled for each individual watchpoint. The watchpoints are:
• Maximum count value: Triggered when PULSE_CNT >= PCNT_THR_H_LIM_Un. Additionally, this will reset
the counter to 0.
• Minimum count value: Triggered when PULSE_CNT <= PCNT_THR_L_LIM_Un. Additionally, this will reset
the counter to 0. This is most useful when PCNT_THR_L_LIM_Un is set to a negative number.
• Two threshold values: Triggered when PULSE_CNT = PCNT_THR_THRES0_Un or
PCNT_THR_THRES1_Un.
• Zero: Triggered when PULSE_CNT = 0.

17.2.4 Examples
Figure 120: PULSE_CNT Upcounting Diagram
Figure 120 shows channel 0 being used as an up-counter. The configuration of channel 0 is shown below.
• CNT_CH0_POS_MODE_Un = 1: increase counter on the rising edge of sig_ch0_un.
• PCNT_CH0_NEG_MODE_Un = 0: no counting on the falling edge of sig_ch0_un.
• PCNT_CH0_LCTRL_MODE_Un = 0: Do not modify counter mode when sig_ch0_un is low.
• PCNT_CH0_HCTRL_MODE_Un = 2: Do not allow counter increments/decrements when sig_ch0_un is
high.
• PCNT_THR_H_LIM_Un = 5: PULSE_CNT resets to 0 when the count value increases to 5.
Figure 121: PULSE_CNT Downcounting Diagram
Figure 121 shows channel 0 decrementing the counter. The configuration of channel 0 differs from that in Figure
120 in the following two aspects:
• PCNT_CH0_LCTRL_MODE_Un = 1: invert counter mode when ctrl_ch0_un is at low level, so it will
decrease, rather than increase, the counter.
• PCNT_THR_H_LIM_Un = -5: PULSE_CNT resets to 0 when the count value decreases to -5.
17.2.5 Interrupts
PCNT_CNT_THR_EVENT_Un_INT: This interrupt gets triggered when one of the five channel comparators
detects a match.

64-bit Timers
18.1
Introduction
There are four general-purpose timers embedded in the ESP32. They are all 64-bit generic timers based on
16-bit prescalers and 64-bit auto-reload-capable up/downcounters.
The ESP32 contains two timer modules, each containing two timers. The two timers in a block are indicated by
an x in TIMGn_Tx; the blocks themselves are indicated by an n.
The timers feature:
• A 16-bit clock prescaler, from 2 to 65536
• A 64-bit time-base counter
• Configurable up/down time-base counter: incrementing or decrementing
• Halt and resume of time-base counter
• Auto-reload at alarm
• Software-controlled instant reload
• Level and edge interrupt generation
18.2
Functional Description
18.2.1 16-bit Prescaler
Each timer uses the APB clock (APB_CLK, normally 80 MHz) as the basic clock. This clock is then divided down
by a 16-bit precaler which generates the time-base counter clock (TB_clk). Every cycle of TB_clk causes the
time-base counter to increment or decrement by one. The timer must be disabled (TIMGn_Tx_EN is cleared)
before changing the prescaler divisor which is configured by TIMGn_Tx_DIVIDER register; changing it on an
enabled timer can lead to unpredictable results. The prescaler can divide the APB clock by a factor from 2 to
65536. Specifically, when TIMGn_Tx_DIVIDER is either 1 or 2, the clock divisor is 2; when TIMGn_Tx_DIVIDER is
0, the clock divisor is 65536. Any other value will cause the clock to be divided by exactly that value.
18.2.2 64-bit Time-base Counter
The 64-bit time-base counter can be configured to count either up or down, depending on whether
TIMGn_Tx_INCREASE is set or cleared, respectively. It supports both auto-reload and software instant reload.
An alarm event can be set when the counter reaches a value specified by the software.
Counting can be enabled and disabled by setting and clearing TIMGn_Tx_EN. Clearing this bit essentially freezes
the counter, causing it to neither count up nor count down; instead, it retains its value until TIMGn_Tx_EN is set
again. Reloading the counter when TIMGn_Tx_EN is cleared will change its value, but counting will not be
resumed until TIMGn_Tx_EN is set.
Software can set a new counter value by setting registers TIMGn_Tx_LOAD_LO and TIMGn_Tx_LOAD_HI to the
intended new value. The hardware will ignore these register settings until a reload; a reload will cause the
contents of these registers to be copied to the counter itself. A reload event can be triggered by an alarm
(auto-reload at alarm) or by software (software instant reload). To enable auto-reload at alarm, the register
Espressif Systems

ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
18. 64-BIT TIMERS
TIMGn_Tx_AUTORELOAD should be set. If auto-reload at alarm is not enabled, the time-base counter will
continue incrementing or decrementing after the alarm. To trigger a software instant reload, any value can be
written to the register TIMGn_Tx_LOAD_REG; this will cause the counter value to change instantly. Software can
also change the direction of the time-base counter instantly by changing the value of
TIMGn_Tx_INCREASE.
The time-base counter can also be read by software, but because the counter is 64-bit, the CPU can only get the
value as two 32-bit values, the counter value needs to be latched onto TIMGn_TxLO_REG and TIMGn_TxHI_REG
first. This is done by writing any value to TIMGn_TxUPDATE_REG; this will instantly latch the 64-bit timer value
onto the two registers. Software can then read them at any point in time. This approach stops the timer value
being read erroneously when a carry-over happens between reading the low and high word of the timer
value.
18.2.3 Alarm Generation
The timer can trigger an alarm, which can cause a reload and/or an interrupt to occur. The alarm is triggered
when the alarm registers TIMGn_Tx_ALARMLO_REG and TIMGn_Tx_ALARMHI_REG match the current timer
value. In order to simplify the scenario where these registers are set ’too late’ and the counter has already passed
these values, the alarm also triggers when the current timer value is higher (for an up-counting timer) or lower (for
a down-counting timer) than the current alarm value: if this is the case, the alarm will be triggered immediately
upon loading the alarm registers.
18.2.4 MWDT
Each timer module also contains a Main System Watchdog Timer and its associated registers. While these
registers are described here, their functional description can be found in the chapter entitled Watchdog
Timer.
18.2.5 Interrupts
• TIMGn_Tx_INT_WDT_INT: Generated when a watchdog timer interrupt stage times out.
• TIMGn_Tx_INT_T1_INT: An alarm event on timer 1 generates this interrupt.
• TIMGn_Tx_INT_T0_INT: An alarm event on timer 0 generates this interrupt.

19. WATCHDOG TIMERS

Watchdog Timers
19.1
Introduction
The ESP32 has three watchdog timers: one in each of the two timer modules (called Main System Watchdog
Timer, or MWDT) and one in the RTC module (which is called the RTC Watchdog Timer, or RWDT). These
watchdog timers are intended to recover from an unforeseen fault, causing the application program to abandon
its normal sequence. A watchdog timer has four stages. Each stage may take one out of three or four actions
upon the expiry of a programmed period of time for this stage, unless the watchdog is fed or disabled. The
actions are: interrupt, CPU reset, core reset and system reset. Only the RWDT can trigger the system reset, and
is able to reset the entire chip and the main system including the RTC itself. A timeout value can be set for each
stage individually.
During flash boot, the RWDT and the first MWDT start automatically in order to detect and recover from booting
problems.
19.2
Features
• Four stages, each of which can be configured or disabled separately
• Programmable time period for each stage
• One out of three or four possible actions (interrupt, CPU reset, core reset and system reset) upon the expiry
of each stage
• 32-bit expiry counter
• Write protection, to prevent the RWDT and MWDT configuration from being inadvertently altered.
• Flash boot protection
If the boot process from an SPI flash does not complete within a predetermined period of time, the
watchdog will reboot the entire main system.
19.3
Functional Description
19.3.1 Clock
The RWDT is clocked from the RTC slow clock, which usually will be 32 KHz. The MWDT clock source is derived
from the APB clock via a pre-MWDT 16-bit configurable prescaler. For either watchdog, the clock source is fed
into the 32-bit expiry counter. When this counter reaches the timeout value of the current stage, the action
configured for the stage will execute, the expiry counter will be reset and the next stage will become active.

ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
19. WATCHDOG TIMERS
19.3.1.1 Operating Procedure
When a watchdog timer is enabled, it will proceed in loops from stage 0 to stage 3, then back to stage 0 and
start again. The expiry action and time period for each stage can be configured individually.
Every stage can be configured for one of the following actions when the expiry timer reaches the stage’s timeout
value:
• Trigger an interrupt
When the stage expires an interrupt is triggered.
• Reset a CPU core
When the stage expires the designated CPU core will be reset. MWDT0 CPU reset only resets the PRO
CPU. MWDT1 CPU reset only resets the APP CPU. The RWDT CPU reset can reset either of them, or both,
or none, depending on configuration.
• Reset the main system
When the stage expires, the main system, including the MWDTs, will be reset. In this article, the main
system includes the CPU and all peripherals. The RTC is an exception to this, and it will not be reset.
• Reset the main system and RTC
When the stage expires the main system and the RTC will both be reset. This action is only available in the
RWDT.
• Disabled
This stage will have no effects on the system.
When software feeds the watchdog timer, it returns to stage 0 and its expiry counter restarts from 0.
19.3.1.2 Write Protection
Both the MWDTs, as well as the RWDT, can be protected from accidental writing. To accomplish this, they have
a write-key register (TIMERS_WDT_WKEY for the MWDT, RTC_CNTL_WDT_WKEY for the RWDT.) On reset,
these registers are initialized to the value 0x50D83AA1. When the value in this register is changed from
0x50D83AA1, write protection is enabled. Writes to any WDT register, including the feeding register (but
excluding the write-key register itself), are ignored. The recommended procedure for accessing a WDT is:
1. Disable the write protection
2. Make the required modification or feed the watchdog
3. Re-enable the write protection
19.3.1.3 Flash Boot Protection
During flash booting, the MWDT in timer group 0 (TIMG0), as well as the RWDT, are automatically enabled. Stage
0 for the enabled MWDT is automatically configured to reset the system upon expiry; stage 0 for the RWDT resets
the RTC when it expires. After booting, the register TIMERS_WDT_FLASHBOOT_MOD_EN should be cleared to
stop the flash boot protection procedure for the MWDT, and RTC_CNTL_WDT_FLASHBOOT_MOD_EN should
be cleared to do the same for the RWDT. After this, the MWDT and RWDT can be configured by software.

eFuse Controller
20.1
Introduction
The ESP32 has a number of eFuses which store system parameters. Fundamentally, an eFuse is a single bit of
non-volatile memory with the restriction that once an eFuse bit is programmed to 1, it can never be reverted to 0.
Software can instruct the eFuse Controller to program each bit for each system parameter as needed.
Some of these system parameters can be read by software using the eFuse Controller. Some of the system
parameters are also directly used by hardware modules.
20.2
Features
• Configuration of 27 system parameters
• Optional write-protection
• Optional software-read-protection
20.3
Functional Description
20.3.1 Structure
Twenty-seven system parameters with different bit width are stored in the eFuses. The name of each system
parameter and the corresponding bit width are shown in Table 77. Among those parameters, efuse_wr_disable,
efuse_rd_disable, BLK3_part_reserve and coding_scheme are directly used by the eFuse Controller.

20.3.1.1 System Parameter efuse_wr_disable
The system parameter efuse_wr_disable determines whether all of the system parameters are write-protected.
Since efuse_wr_disable is a system parameter as well, it also determines whether it itself is
write-protected.
If a system parameter is not write-protected, its unprogrammed bits can be programmed from 0 to 1. The bits
Espressif Systems
481
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
20. EFUSE CONTROLLER
previously programmed to 1 will remain 1. When a system parameter is write-protected, none of its bits can be
programmed: The unprogrammed bits will always remain 0 and the programmed bits will always remain 1.
The write-protection status of each system parameter corresponds to a bit in efuse_wr_disable. When the
corresponding bit is set to 0, the system parameter is not write-protected. When the corresponding bit is set to
1, the system parameter is write-protected. If a system parameter is already write-protected, it will remain
write-protected. The column entitled ”Program-Protection by efuse_wr_disable” in Table 77 lists the
corresponding bits that determine the write-protection status of each system parameter.
20.3.1.2 System Parameter efuse_rd_disable
Of the 26 system parameters, 20 are not constrained by software-read-protection. These are marked by ”-” in
the column entitled ”Software-Read-Protection by efuse_rd_disable” in Table 77. Those system parameters,
some of which are used by software and hardware modules at the same time, can be read by software via the
eFuse Controller at any time.
When not software-read-protected, the other six system parameters can both be read by software and used by
hardware modules. When they are software-read-protected, they can only be used by the hardware
modules.
The column ”Software-Read-Protection by efuse_rd_disable” in Table 77 lists the corresponding bits in
efuse_rd_disable that determine the software read-protection status of the six system parameters. If a bit in the
system parameter efuse_rd_disable is 0, the system parameter controlled by the bit is not
software-read-protected. If a bit in the system parameter efuse_rd_disable is 1, the system parameter controlled
by the bit is software-read-protected. If a system parameter is software-read-protected, it will remain in this
state.
20.3.1.3 System Parameter coding_scheme
As Table 77 shows, only three system parameters, BLOCK1, BLOCK2, and BLOCK3, have variable bit width.
Their bit width is controlled by another system parameter, coding_scheme. Despite their variable bit width,
BLOCK1, BLOCK2, and BLOCK3 are assigned a fixed number of bits in eFuse. There is an encoding mapping
between these three system parameters and their corresponding stored values in eFuse. For details please see
Table 78.

20.3.1.4 BLK3_part_reserve
System parameters coding_scheme, BLOCK1, BLOCK2, and BLOCK3 are controlled by the parameter
BLK3_part_reserve.
When the value of BLK3_part_reserve is 0, coding_scheme, BLOCK1, BLOCK2, and BLOCK3 can be set to any
value.
When the value of BLK3_part_reserve is 1, coding_scheme�BLOCK1�BLOCK2 and BLOCK3 are controlled by
e
3/4 coding scheme. Meanwhile, BLOCK3[143 : 96], namely, BLOCK3[191 : 128] is unavailable.
20.3.2 Programming of System Parameters
The programming of variable-length system parameters BLOCK1, BLOCK2, and BLOCK3 is different from that of
e
the fixed-length system parameters. We program the BLOCKN [255 : 0] value of encoded system
parameters BLOCK1, BLOCK2, and BLOCK3 instead of directly programming the system parameters.
e
The bit width of BLOCKN [255 : 0] is always 256. Fixed-length system parameters, in contrast, are
programmed without encoding them first.
Each bit of the 24 fixed-length system parameters and the three encoded variable-length system parameters
corresponds to a program register bit, as shown in Table 79. The register bits will be used when programming
system parameters.

The process of programming system parameters is as follows:
1. Configure EFUSE_CLK_SEL0 bit, EFUSE_CLK_SEL1 bit of register EFUSE_CLK, and
EFUSE_DAC_CLK_DIV bit of register EFUSE_DAC_CONF.
2. Set the corresponding register bit of the system parameter bit to be programmed to 1.
3. Write 0x5A5A into register EFUSE_CONF.
4. Write 0x2 into register EFUSE_CMD.
5. Poll register EFUSE_CMD until it is 0x0, or wait for a program-done interrupt.
6. Write 0x5AA5 into register EFUSE_CONF.
7. Write 0x1 into register EFUSE_CMD.
8. Poll register EFUSE_CMD until it is 0x0, or wait for a read-done interrupt.
9. Set the corresponding register bit of the programmed bit to 0.
The configuration values of the EFUSE_CLK_SEL0 bit, EFUSE_CLK_SEL1 bit of register EFUSE_CLK, and the
EFUSE_DAC_CLK_DIV bit of register EFUSE_DAC_CONF are based on the current APB_CLK frequency, as is
shown in Table 80.

The two methods to identify the generation of program/read-done interrupts are as follows:
Method One:
1. Poll bit 1/0 in register EFUSE_INT_RAW until bit 1/0 is 1, which represents the generation of an
program/read-done interrupt.
2. Set the bit 1/0 in register EFUSE_INT_CLR to 1 to clear the program/read-done interrupts.
Method Two:
Espressif Systems
485
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
20. EFUSE CONTROLLER
1. Set bit 1/0 in register EFUSE_INT_ENA to 1 to enable eFuse Controller to post a program/read-done
interrupt.
2. Configure Interrupt Matrix to enable the CPU to respond to an EFUSE_INT interrupt.
3. A program/read-done interrupt is generated.
4. Read bit 1/0 in register EFUSE_INT_ST to identify the generation of the program/read-done interrupt.
5. Set bit 1/0 in register EFUSE_INT_CLR to 1 to clear the program/read-done interrupt.
The programming of different system parameters and even the programming of different bits of the same system
parameter can be completed separately in multiple programmings. It is, however, recommended that users
minimize programming cycles, and program all the bits that need to be programmed in a system parameter in
one programming action. In addition, after all system parameters controlled by a certain bit of efuse_wr_disable
are programmed, that bit should be immediately programmed. The programming of system parameters
controlled by a certain bit of efuse_wr_disable, and the programming of that bit can even be completed at the
same time. Repeated programming of programmed bits is strictly forbidden.
20.3.3 Software Reading of System Parameters
Each bit of the 24 fixed-length system parameters and the three variable-length system parameters corresponds
to a software-read register bit, as shown in Table 81. Software can use the value of each system parameter by
reading the value in the corresponding register.
The bit width of system parameters BLOCK1, BLOCK2, and BLOCK3 is variable. Although 256 register bits have
been assigned to each of the three parameters, as shown in Table 81, some of the 256 register bits are useless in
the 3/4 coding and the Repeat coding scheme. In the None coding scheme, the corresponding register bit of
each bit of BLOCKN [255 : 0] is used. In the 3/4 coding scheme, only the corresponding register bits of
BLOCKN [191 : 0] are useful. In Repeat coding scheme, only the corresponding bits of BLOCKN [127 : 0] are
useful. In different coding schemes, the values of useless register bits read by software are invalid. The values of
useful register bits read by software are the system parameters BLOCK1, BLOCK2, and BLOCK3
themselves instead of their values after being encoded.

20.3.4 The Use of System Parameters by Hardware Modules
Hardware modules are directly hardwired to the ESP32 in order to use the system parameters. Software cannot
change this behaviour. Hardware modules use the decoded values of system parameters BLOCK1,
BLOCK2, and BLOCK3, not their encoded values.

AES Accelerator
21.1
Introduction
The AES Accelerator speeds up AES operations significantly, compared to AES algorithms implemented solely in
software. The AES Accelerator supports six algorithms of FIPS PUB 197, specifically AES-128, AES-192 and
AES-256 encryption and decryption.
21.2
Features
• Supports AES-128 encryption and decryption
• Supports AES-192 encryption and decryption
• Supports AES-256 encryption and decryption
• Supports four variations of key endianness and four variations of text endianness
21.3
Functional Description
21.3.1 AES Algorithm Operations
The AES Accelerator supports six algorithms of FIPS PUB 197, specifically AES-128, AES-192 and AES-256
encryption and decryption. The AES_MODE_REG register can be configured to different values to enable
different algorithm operations, as shown in Table 83.

21.3.2 Key, Plaintext and Ciphertext
The encryption or decryption key is stored in AES_KEY_n_REG, which is a set of eight 32-bit registers. For
AES-128 encryption/decryption, the 128-bit key is stored in AES_KEY_0_REG ~ AES_KEY_3_REG. For
AES-192 encryption/decryption, the 192-bit key is stored in AES_KEY_0_REG ~ AES_KEY_5_REG. For
AES-256 encryption/decryption, the 256-bit key is stored in AES_KEY_0_REG ~ AES_KEY_7_REG.
Plaintext and ciphertext is stored in the AES_TEXT_m_REG registers. There are four 32-bit registers. To enable
AES-128/192/256 encryption, initialize the AES_TEXT_m_REG registers with plaintext before encryption. When
encryption is finished, the AES Accelerator will store back the resulting ciphertext in the AES_TEXT_m_REG
registers. To enable AES-128/192/256 decryption, initialize the AES_TEXT_m_REG registers with ciphertext
before decryption. When decryption is finished, the AES Accelerator will store back the resulting plaintext in the
AES_TEXT_m_REG registers.

21.3.3 Endianness
Key Endianness
Bit 0 and bit 1 in AES_ENDIAN_REG define the key endianness. For detailed information, please see Table 85,
Table 86 and Table 87. w[0] ~ w[3] in Table 85, w[0] ~ w[5] in Table 86 and w[0] ~ w[7] in Table 87 are “the first Nk
words of the expanded key” as specified in “5.2: Key Expansion” of FIPS PUB 197. “Column Bit” specifies the
bytes in the word from w[0] to w[7]. The bytes of AES_KEY_n_REG comprise “the first Nk words of the expanded
key”.
Text Endianness
Bit 2 and bit 3 in AES_ENDIAN_REG define the endianness of input text, while Bit 4 and Bit 5 define the
endianness of output text. The input text refers to the plaintext in AES-128/192/256 encryption and the
ciphertext in decryption. The output text refers to the ciphertext in AES-128/192/256 encryption and the plaintext
in decryption. For details, please see Table 84. “State” in Table 84 is defined as that in “3.4: The State” of FIPS
PUB 197: “The AES algorithm operations are performed on a two-dimensional array of bytes called the State”.
The ciphertext or plaintexts stored in each byte of AES_TEXT_m_REG comprise the State.

21.3.4 Encryption and Decryption Operations
Single Operation
1. Initialize AES_MODE_REG, AES_KEY_n_REG, AES_TEXT_m_REG and AES_ENDIAN_REG.
2. Write 1 to AES_START_REG.
3. Wait until AES_IDLE_REG reads 1.
4. Read results from AES_TEXT_m_REG.
Consecutive Operations
Every time an operation is completed, only AES_TEXT_m_REG is modified by the AES Accelerator. Initialization
can, therefore, be simplified in a series of consecutive operations.
1. Update contents of AES_MODE_REG, AES_KEY_n_REG and AES_ENDIAN_REG, if required.
2. Load AES_TEXT_m_REG.
3. Write 1 to AES_START_REG.
4. Wait until AES_IDLE_REG reads 1.
5. Read results from AES_TEXT_m_REG.
21.3.5 Speed
The AES Accelerator requires 11 to 15 clock cycles to encrypt a message block, and 21 or 22 clock cycles to
decrypt a message block.

SHA Accelerator
22.1
Introduction
The SHA Accelerator is included to speed up SHA hashing operations significantly, compared to SHA hashing
algorithms implemented solely in software. The SHA Accelerator supports four algorithms of FIPS PUB 180-4,
specifically SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512.
22.2
Features
Hardware support for popular secure hashing algorithms:
• SHA-1
• SHA-256
• SHA-384
• SHA-512
22.3
Functional Description
22.3.1 Padding and Parsing the Message
The SHA Accelerator can only accept one message block at a time. Software divides the message into blocks
according to “5.2 Parsing the Message” in FIPS PUB 180-4 and writes one block to the SHA_TEXT_n_REG
registers each time. For SHA-1 and SHA-256, software writes a 512-bit message block to SHA_TEXT_0_REG
~ SHA_TEXT_15_REG each time. For SHA-384 and SHA-512, software writes a 1024-bit message block to
SHA_TEXT_0_REG ~ SHA_TEXT_31_REG each time.
The SHA Accelerator is unable to perform the padding operation of “5.1 Padding the Message” in FIPS PUB
180-4; Note that the user software is expected to pad the message before feeding it into the accelerator.
(i)
(i)
As described in “2.2.1: Parameters” in FIPS PUB 180-4, “M0 is the leftmost word of message block i”. M0 is
stored in SHA_TEXT_0_REG. In the same fashion, the SHA_TEXT_1_REG register stores the second left-most
(N )
word of a message blockH1
, etc.
22.3.2 Message Digest
When the hashing operation is finished, the message digest will be refreshed by SHA Accelerator and will be
stored in SHA_TEXT_n_REG. SHA-1 produces a 160-bit message digest and stores it in SHA_TEXT_0_REG ~
SHA_TEXT_4_REG. SHA-256 produces a 256-bit message digest and stores it in SHA_TEXT_0_REG ~
SHA_TEXT_7_REG. SHA-384 produces a 384-bit message digest and stores it in SHA_TEXT_0_REG ~
SHA_TEXT_11_REG. SHA-512 produces a 512-bit message digest and stores it in SHA_TEXT_0_REG ~
SHA_TEXT_15_REG.
As described in “2.2.1 Parameters” in FIPS PUB 180-4, “H (N ) is the final hash value, and is used to determine
(i)
(N )
the message digest”, while “H0 is the leftmost word of hash value i”, so the leftmost word H0
digest is stored in SHA_TEXT_0_REG. In the same fashion, the second leftmost word
(N )
H1
in the message
in the message
digest is stored in SHA_TEXT_1_REG, etc.

22.3.3 Hash Operation
There is a set of control registers for SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512, respectively; different hashing
algorithms use different control registers.
SHA-1 uses SHA_SHA1_START_REG, SHA_SHA1_CONTINUE_REG, SHA_SHA1_LOAD_REG and
SHA_SHA1_BUSY_REG.
SHA-256 uses SHA_SHA256_START_REG, SHA_SHA256_CONTINUE_REG,
SHA_SHA256_LOAD_REG and SHA_SHA256_BUSY_REG. SHA-384 uses SHA_SHA384_START_REG,
SHA_SHA384_CONTINUE_REG, SHA_SHA384_LOAD_REG and SHA_SHA384_BUSY_REG.
SHA-512 uses SHA_SHA512_START_REG, SHA_SHA512_CONTINUE_REG, SHA_SHA512_LOAD_REG
and SHA_SHA512_BUSY_REG. The following steps describe the operation in a detailed manner.
1. Feed the accelerator with the first message block:
(a) Use the first message block to initialize SHA_TEXT_n_REG.
(b) Write 1 to SHA_X_START_REG.
(c) Wait for SHA_X_BUSY_REG to read 0, indicating that the operation is completed.
2. Similarly, feed the accelerator with subsequent message blocks:
(a) Initialize SHA_TEXT_n_REG using the subsequent message block.
(b) Write 1 to SHA_X_CONTINUE_REG.
(c) Wait for SHA_X_BUSY_REG to read 0, indicating that the operation is completed.
3. Get message digest:
(a) Write 1 to SHA_X_LOAD_REG.
(b) Wait for SHA_X_BUSY_REG to read 0, indicating that operation is completed.
(c) Read message digest from SHA_TEXT_n_REG.
22.3.4 Speed
The SHA Accelerator requires 60 to 100 clock cycles to process a message block and 8 to 20 clock cycles to
calculate the final digest.

RSA Accelerator
23.1
Introduction
The RSA Accelerator provides hardware support for multiple precision arithmetic operations used in RSA
asymmetric cipher algorithms.
Sometimes, multiple precision arithmetic is also called ”bignum arithmetic”, ”bigint arithmetic” or ”arbitrary
precision arithmetic”.
23.2
Features
• Support for large-number modular exponentiation
• Support for large-number modular multiplication
• Support for large-number multiplication
• Support for various lengths of operands
23.3
Functional Description
23.3.1 Initialization
The RSA Accelerator is activated by enabling the corresponding peripheral clock, and by clearing the
DPORT_RSA_PD bit in the DPORT_RSA_PD_CTRL_REG register. This releases the RSA Accelerator from
reset.
When the RSA Accelerator is released from reset, the register RSA_CLEAN_REG reads 0 and an initialization
process begins. Hardware initializes the four memory blocks by setting them to 0. After initialization is complete,
RSA_CLEAN_REG reads 1. For this reason, software should query RSA_CLEAN_REG after being released from
reset, and before writing to any RSA Accelerator memory blocks or registers for the first time.
23.3.2 Large Number Modular Exponentiation
Large-number modular exponentiation performs Z = X Y mod M . The operation is based on Montgomery
multiplication. Aside from the arguments X, Y , and M , two additional ones are needed — r and M ′ . These
arguments are calculated in advance by software.
The RSA Accelerator supports operand lengths of N ∈ {512, 1024, 1536, 2048, 2560, 3072, 3584, 4096} bits. The
bit length of arguments Z, X, Y , M , and r can be any one from the N set, but all numbers in a calculation must
be of the same length. The bit length of M ′ is always 32.
To represent the numbers used as operands, define a base-b positional notation, as follows:
b = 232
Espressif Systems
515
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
23. RSA ACCELERATOR
In this notation, each number is represented by a sequence of base-b digits, where each base-b digit is a 32-bit
word. Representing an N -bit number requires n base-b digits (all of the possible N lengths are multiples of
32).
n=
N
32
Z = (Zn−1 Zn−2 · · · Z0 )b
X = (Xn−1 Xn−2 · · · X0 )b
Y = (Yn−1 Yn−2 · · · Y0 )b
M = (Mn−1 Mn−2 · · · M0 )b
r = (rn−1 rn−2 · · · r0 )b
Each of the n values in Zn−1 ~ Z0 , Xn−1 ~ X0 , Yn−1 ~ Y0 , Mn−1 ~ M0 , rn−1 ~ r0 represents one base-b digit (a
32-bit word).
Zn−1 , Xn−1 , Yn−1 , Mn−1 and rn−1 are the most significant bits of Z, X, Y , M , while Z0 , X0 , Y0 , M0 and r0 are
the least significant bits.
If we define
R = bn
then, we can calculate the additional arguments, as follows:
r = R2 mod M
M ′′ × M + 1 = R × R−1
(1)
(2)
M ′ = M ′′ mod b
(Equation 2 is written in a form suitable for calculations using the extended binary GCD algorithm.)
Software can implement large-number modular exponentiations in the following order:
N
1. Write ( 512
− 1) to RSA_MODEXP_MODE_REG.
2. Write Xi , Yi , Mi and ri (i ∈ [0, n) ∩ N) to memory blocks RSA_X_MEM, RSA_Y_MEM, RSA_M_MEM and
RSA_Z_MEM. The capacity of each memory block is 128 words. Each word of each memory block can
store one base-b digit. The memory blocks use the little endian format for storage, i.e. the least significant
digit of each number is in the lowest address.
Users need to write data to each memory block only according to the length of the number; data beyond
this length are ignored.
3. Write M ′ to RSA_M_PRIME_REG.
4. Write 1 to RSA_MODEXP_START_REG.
5. Wait for the operation to be completed. Poll RSA_INTERRUPT_REG until it reads 1, or until the RSA_INTR
interrupt is generated.
6. Read the result Zi (i ∈ [0, n) ∩ N) from RSA_Z_MEM.
7. Write 1 to RSA_INTERRUPT_REG to clear the interrupt.
After the operation, the RSA_MODEXP_MODE_REG register, memory blocks RSA_Y_MEM and RSA_M_MEM,
as well as the RSA_M_PRIME_REG will not have changed. However, Xi in RSA_X_MEM and ri in RSA_Z_MEM
Espressif Systems
516
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
23. RSA ACCELERATOR
will have been overwritten. In order to perform another operation, refresh the registers and memory blocks, as
required.
23.3.3 Large Number Modular Multiplication
Large-number modular multiplication performs Z = X × Y mod M . This operation is based on Montgomery
multiplication. The same values r and M ′ are derived by software using the formulas 1 and 2 shown
above.
The RSA Accelerator supports large-number modular multiplication with eight different operand lengths, which
are the same as in the large-number modular exponentiation. The operation is performed by a combination of
software and hardware. The software performs two hardware operations in sequence.
The software process is as follows:
N
1. Write ( 512
− 1) to RSA_MULT_MODE_REG.
2. Write Xi , Mi and ri (i ∈ [0, n) ∩ N) to registers RSA_X_MEM, RSA_M_MEM and RSA_Z_MEM. Write data
to each memory block only according to the length of the number. Data beyond this length are ignored.
3. Write M ′ to RSA_M_PRIME_REG.
4. Write 1 to RSA_MULT_START_REG.
5. Wait for the first round of the operation to be completed. Poll RSA_INTERRUPT_REG until it reads 1, or
until the RSA_INTR interrupt is generated.
6. Write 1 to RSA_INTERRUPT_REG to clear the interrupt.
7. Write Yi (i ∈ [0, n) ∩ N) to RSA_X_MEM.
Users need to write to the memory block only according to the length of the number. Data beyond this
length are ignored.
8. Write 1 to RSA_MULT_START_REG.
9. Wait for the second round of the operation to be completed. Poll RSA_INTERRUPT_REG until it reads 1, or
until the RSA_INTR interrupt is generated.
10. Read the result Zi (i ∈ [0, n) ∩ N) from RSA_Z_MEM.
11. Write 1 to RSA_INTERRUPT_REG to clear the interrupt.
After the operation, the RSA_MULT_MODE_REG register, and memory blocks RSA_M_MEM and
RSA_M_PRIME_REG remain unchanged. Users do not need to refresh these registers or memory blocks if the
values remain the same.
23.3.4 Large Number Multiplication
Large-number multiplication performs Z = X × Y . The length of Z is twice that of X and Y . Therefore, the RSA
Accelerator supports large-number multiplication with only four operand lengths of N ∈ {512, 1024, 1536, 2048}
bits. The length N̂ of the result Z is 2 × N bits.
Operands X and Y need to be extended to form arguments X̂ and Ŷ which have the same length (N̂ bits) as

the result Z. X is left-extended and Y is right-extended, and defined as follows:

32
N̂ = 2 × N

32
X̂ = (X̂n̂−1 X̂n̂−2 · · · X̂0 )b = (00

· · · 0})b
| {z
| {z

n
Software performs the operation in the following order:
N̂
1. Write ( 512
− 1 + 8) to RSA_MULT_MODE_REG.
2. Write X̂i and Ŷi (i ∈ [0, n̂) ∩ N) to RSA_X_MEM and RSA_Z_MEM, respectively.
Write the valid data into each number’s memory block, according to their lengths. Values beyond this
length are ignored. Half of the base-b positional notations written to the memory are zero (using the
derivations shown above). These zero values are indispensable.
3. Write 1 to RSA_MULT_START_REG.
4. Wait for the operation to be completed. Poll RSA_INTERRUPT_REG until it reads 1, or until the RSA_INTR
interrupt is generated.
5. Read the result Zi (i ∈ [0, n̂) ∩ N) from RSA_Z_MEM.
6. Write 1 to RSA_INTERRUPT_REG to clear the interrupt.
After the operation, only the RSA_MULT_MODE_REG register remains unmodified.

Random Number Generator
24.1
Introduction
The ESP32 contains a true random number generator, whose values can be used as a basis for cryptographical
operations, among other things.
24.2
Feature
It can generate true random numbers.
24.3
Functional Description
When used correctly, every 32-bit value the system reads from the RNG_DATA_REG register of the random
number generator is a true random number. These true random numbers are generated based on the noise in
the Wi-Fi/BT RF system. When Wi-Fi and BT are disabled, the random number generator will give out
pseudo-random numbers.
When Wi-Fi or BT is enabled, the random number generator is fed two bits of entropy every APB clock cycle
(normally 80 MHz). Thus, for the maximum amount of entropy, it is advisable to read the random register at a
maximum rate of 5 MHz.
A data sample of 2 GB, read from the random number generator with Wi-Fi enabled and the random register
read at 5 MHz, has been tested using the Dieharder Random Number Testsuite (version 3.31.1). The sample
passed all tests.

Flash Encryption/Decryption
25.1
Overview
Many variants of the ESP32 must store programs and data in external flash memory. The external flash memory
chip is likely to contain proprietary firmware and sensitive user data, such as credentials for gaining access to a
private network. The Flash Encryption block can encrypt code and write encrypted code to off-chip flash
memory for enhanced hardware security. When the CPU reads off-chip flash through the cache, the Flash
Decryption block can automatically decrypt instructions and data read from the off-chip flash, thus providing
hardware-based security for application code.
25.2
Features
• Various key generation methods
• Software-based encryption
• High-speed, hardware decryption
• Register configuration, system parameters and boot mode jointly determine the flash encryption/decryption
function.

Functional Description
Figure 122: Flash Encryption/Decryption Module Architecture
The Flash Encryption/Decryption module consists of three parts, namely the Key Generator, Flash Encryption
block and Flash Decryption block. The structure of these parts is shown in Figure 122. The Key Generator is
Espressif Systems
522
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
25. FLASH ENCRYPTION/DECRYPTION
shared by both the Flash Encryption block and the Flash Decryption block, which can function
simultaneously.
In the peripheral DPort Register, the register relevant to Flash Encryption/Decryption is
DPORT_SPI_ENCRYPT_ENABLE bit and DPORT_SPI_DECRYPT_ENABLE bit in
DPORT_SLAVE_SPI_CONFIG_REG. The Flash Encryption/Decryption module will fetch six system parameters
from the peripheral eFuse Controller. These parameters are: coding_scheme, BLOCK1, flash_crypt_config,
download_dis_encrypt, flash_crypt_cnt, and download_dis_decrypt.
25.3.1 Key Generator
According to system parameters coding_scheme and BLOCK1, the Key Generator will first generate
Keyo = f (coding_scheme, BLOCK1).
Then, according to system parameter flash_crypt_config, and off-chip flash physical addresses Addre and Addrd
accessed by the Flash Encryption block and the Flash Decryption block, the Key Generator will respectively figure
out that:
Keye = g(Keyo , f lash_crypt_conf ig, Addre ),
Keyd = g(Keyo , f lash_crypt_conf ig, Addrd ).
When all values of system parameter flash_crypt_config are 0, Keye and Keyd are not relevant to the physical
address of the off-chip flash. When all values of system parameter flash_crypt_config are not 0, every 8-word
block on the off-chip flash has a dedicated Keye and Keyd .
25.3.2 Flash Encryption Block
The Flash Encryption block is equipped with registers that can be accessed by the CPU directly. Registers
embedded in the Flash Encryption block, registers in the peripheral DPort Register, system parameters and Boot
Mode jointly configure and control this block.
The Flash Encryption block requires software intervention during operation. The steps are as follows:
1. Set the DPORT_SPI_ENCRYPT_ENABLE bit of register DPORT_SLAVE_SPI_CONFIG_REG.
2. Write the physical address prepared for the off-chip flash on register FLASH_ENCRYPT_ADDRESS_REG.
The address must be 8-word boundary aligned.
3. The Flash Encryption block must encrypt 8-word long code segments. Write the lowest word to register
FLASH_ENCRYPT_BUFFER_0_REG, the second-lowest word into FLASH_ENCRYPT_BUFFER_1_REG,
and so on, up to FLASH_ENCRYPT_BUFFER_7_REG.
4. Set the FLASH_START bit in FLASH_ENCRYPT_START_REG.
5. Wait for the FLASH_DONE bit to be set in FLASH_ENCRYPT_DONE_REG.
6. Use this function and write any 8-word code to the 8-word aligned address on the off-chip flash via the
peripheral SPI0.
In Steps 1 to 5, the Flash Encryption block encrypts 8-word long codes. The key encryption algorithm uses
Keye . The encryption result will also be 8-word long. In Step 6, the peripheral SPI0 writes encrypted results of
the Flash Encryption block to the off-chip flash. One parameter of the function used in Step 6 will be the physical
address of the off-chip flash. The physical address must be 8-word boundary aligned. Also, the value must be
the same as the value written into register FLASH_ENCRYPT_ADDRESS_REG during Step 2. Even though the
function used in Step 6 still has a parameter with an 8-word long code, the parameter will be meaningless if
Espressif Systems
523
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
25. FLASH ENCRYPTION/DECRYPTION
Steps 1 to 5 are executed. The Peripheral SPI0 will use the encrypted result instead. If the Flash Encryption
block is not operating, or has not executed Steps 1 to 5, Step 6 will not use the encrypted result. Instead, the
function parameter will be used.
Flash Encryption Operating Conditions:
• During SPI Flash Boot
If the DPORT_SPI_ENCRYPT_ENABLE bit of register DPORT_SLAVE_SPI_CONFIG_REG is 1, the Flash
Encryption block is operational. Otherwise, it is not.
• During Download Boot
If the DPORT_SPI_ENCRYPT_ENABLE bit of register DPORT_SLAVE_SPI_CONFIG_REG is 1, and system
parameter download_dis_encrypt is 0, the Flash Encryption block is operational. Otherwise, it is not.
Even though software participates in the whole process, it cannot directly read the encrypted codes. Instead, the
encrypted codes are integrated into the off-chip flash. Even though the CPU can skip the cache and get the
encrypted code directly by reading the off-chip flash, the software can by no means access Keye .
25.3.3 Flash Decryption Block
Flash Decryption is not a conventional peripheral, and is not equipped with registers. Therefore, the CPU cannot
directly access the Flash Decryption block. The Peripheral DPort Register, system parameters and Booting Mode
jointly control and configure the Flash Decryption block.
When the Flash Decryption block is operating, the CPU will read instructions and data from the off-chip flash via
the cache. The Flash Decryption block automatically decrypts the instructions and data in the cache. The entire
decryption process does not need software intervention and is transparent to the cache. The decryption
algorithm can decrypt the code that has been encrypted by the Flash Encryption block. Software cannot access
the key algorithm Keyd used.
When the Flash Encryption block is not operating, it does not have any effect on the contents stored in the
off-chip flash, be they encrypted or unencrypted. What the CPU reads via the cache is the original information
stored in the off-chip flash.
Flash Encryption Operating Conditions:
• During SPI Flash Boot
In the low 7 bits of flash_crypt_cnt, if the number of value 1 is odd, the Flash Decryption block is
operational. Otherwise, it is not.
• During Download Boot
If the DPORT_SPI_DECRYPT_ENABLE bit in DPORT_SLAVE_SPI_CONFIG_REG is 1, and system
parameter download_dis_decrypt is 0, the Flash Decryption block is operational. Otherwise, it is not.

PID/MPU/MMU
26.1
Introduction
Every peripheral and memory section in the ESP32 is accessed through either an MMU (Memory Management
Unit) or an MPU (Memory Protection Unit). An MPU can allow or disallow the access of an application to a
memory range or peripheral, depending on what kind of permission the OS has given to that particular
application. An MMU can perform the same operation, as well as a virtual-to-physical memory address
translation. This can be used to map an internal or external memory range to a certain virtual memory area.
These mappings can be application-specific. Therefore, each application can be adjusted and have the memory
configuration that is necessary for it to run properly. To differentiate between the OS and applications, there are
eight Process Identifiers (or PIDs) that each application, or OS, can run. Furthermore, each application, or OS, is
equipped with their own sets of mappings and rights.
26.2
Features
• Eight processes in each of the PRO_CPU and APP_CPU
• MPU/MMU management of on-chip memories, off-chip memories, and peripherals, based on process ID
• On-chip memory management by MPU/MMU
• Off-chip memory management by MMU
• Peripheral management by MPU
26.3
Functional Description
26.3.1 PID Controller
In the ESP32, a PID controller acts as an indicator that signals the MMU/MPU the owner PID of the code that is
currently running. The intention is that the OS updates the PID in the PID controller every time it switches context
to another application. The PID controller can detect interrupts and automatically switch PIDs to that of the OS, if
so configured.
There are two peripheral PID controllers in the system, one for each of the two CPUs in the ESP32. Having a PID
controller per CPU allows running different processes on different CPUs, if so desired.

ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
26. PID/MPU/MMU
26.3.2 MPU/MMU
The MPU and MMU manage on-chip memories, off-chip memories, and peripherals. To do this they are based
on the process of accessing the peripheral or memory region. More specifically, when a code tries to access a
MMU/MPU-protected memory region or peripheral, the MMU or MPU will receive the PID from the PID generator
that is associated with the CPU on which the process is running.
For on-chip memory and peripherals, the decisions the MMU and MPU make are only based on this PID,
whereas the specific CPU the code is running on is not taken into account. Subsequently, the MMU/MPU
configuration for the internal memory and peripherals allows entries only for the eight different PIDs. In contrast,
the MMU moderating access to the external memory takes not only the PID into account, but also the CPU the
request is coming from. This means that MMUs have configuration options for every PID when running on the
APP_CPU, as well as every PID when running on the PRO_CPU. While, in practice, accesses from both CPUs
will be configured to have the same result for a specific process, doing so is not a hardware requirement.
The decision an MPU can make, based on this information, is to allow or deny a process to access the memory
region or peripheral. An MMU has the same function, but additionally it redirects the virtual memory access, which
the process acquired, into a physical memory access that can possibly reach out an entirely different physical
memory region. This way, MMU-governed memory can be remapped on a process-by-process basis.
26.3.2.1 Embedded Memory
The on-chip memory is governed by fixed-function MPUs, configurable MPUs, and MMUs:

Static MPUs
ROM0, ROM1, the lower 64 KB of SRAM0, SRAM1 and the lower 72 KB of SRAM2 are governed by a static
MPU. The behaviour of these MPUs are hardwired and cannot be configured by software. They moderate access
to the memory region solely through the PID of the current process. When the PID of the process is 0 or 1, the
memory can be read (and written when it is RAM) using the addresses specified in Table 93. When it is 2 ~ 7, the
memory cannot be accessed.

RTC FAST & RTC SLOW MPU
The 8 KB RTC FAST Memory as well as the 8 KB of RTC SLOW Memory are governed by two configurable
MPUs. The MPUs can be configured to allow or deny access to each individual PID, using the
RTC_CNTL_RTC_PID_CONFIG_REG and DPORT_AHBLITE_MPU_TABLE_RTC_REG registers. Setting a bit in
these registers will allow the corresponding PID to read or write from the memory; clearing the bit disallows
access. Access for PID 0 and 1 to RTC SLOW memory cannot be configured and is always enabled. Table 94
and 95 define the bit-to-PID mappings of the registers.

Register RTC_CNTL_RTC_PID_CONFIG_REG is part of the RTC peripheral and can only be modified by
processes with a PID of 0; register DPORT_AHBLITE_MPU_TABLE_RTC_REG is a Dport register and can be
changed by processes with a PID of 0 or 1.
SRAM0 and SRAM2 upper 128 KB MMUs
Both the upper 128 KB of SRAM0 and the upper 128 KB of SRAM2 are governed by an MMU. Not only can
these MMUs allow or deny access to the memory they govern (just like the MPUs do), but they are also capable
of translating the address a CPU reads from or writes to (which is a virtual address) to a possibly different address
in memory (the physical address).
In order to accomplish this, the internal RAM MMUs divide the memory range they govern into 16 pages. The
page size is configurable as 8 KB, 4 KB and 2 KB. When the page size is 8 KB, the 16 pages span the entire 128
KB memory region; when the page size is 4 KB or 2 KB, a non-MMU-covered region of 64 or 96 KB,
respectively, will exist at the end of the memory space. Similar to the virtual and physical addresses, it is also
possible to imagine the pages as having a virtual and physical component. The MMU can convert an address
within a virtual page to an address within a physical page.
For PID 0 and 1, this mapping is 1-to-1, meaning that a read from or write to a certain virtual page will always be
converted to a read from or write to the exact same physical page. This allows an operating system, running
under PID 0 and/or 1, to always have access to the entire physical memory range.
For PID 2 to 7, however, every virtual page can be reconfigured, on a per-PID basis, to map to a different physical
page. This way, reads and writes to an offset within a virtual page get translated into reads and writes to the
Espressif Systems
529
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
26. PID/MPU/MMU
same offset within a different physical page. This is illustrated in Figure 123: the CPU (running a process with a
PID between 2 to 7) tries to access memory address 0x3FFC_2345. This address is within the virtual Page 1
memory region, at offset 0x0345. The MMU is instructed that for this particular PID, it should translate an access
to virtual page 1 into physical Page 2. This causes the memory access to be redirected to the same offset as the
virtual memory access, yet in Page 2, which results in the effective access of physical memory address
0x3FFC_4345. The page size in this example is 8 KB.

Non-MMU Governed Memory
For the MMU-managed region of SRAM0 and SRAM2, the page size is configurable as 8 KB, 4 KB and 2 KB.
The configuration is done by setting the DPORT_IMMU_PAGE_MODE (for SRAM0) and
DPORT_DMMU_PAGE_MODE (for SRAM2) bits in registers DPORT_IMMU_PAGE_MODE_REG and
DPORT_DMMU_PAGE_MODE_REG, as detailed in Table 96. Because the number of pages for either region is
fixed at 16, the total amount of memory covered by these pages is 128 KB when 8 KB pages are selected, 64
KB when 4 KB pages are selected, and 32 KB when 2 KB pages are selected. This implies that for 8 KB pages,
the entire MMU-managed range is used, but for the other page sizes there will be a part of the 128 KB memory
that will not be governed by the MMU settings. Concretely, for a page size of 4 KB, these regions are
0x4009_0000 to 0x4009_FFFF and 0x3FFD_0000 to 0x3FFD_FFFF; for a page size of 2 KB, the regions are
0x4008_8000 to 0x4009_FFFF and 0x3FFC_8000 to 0x3FFD_FFFF. These ranges are readable and writable by
processes with a PID of 0 or 1; processes with other PIDs cannot access this memory.
The layout of the pages in memory space is linear, namely, an SRAM0 MMU page n covers address space
0x40080000 + (pagesize ∗ n) to 0x40080000 + (pagesize ∗ (n + 1) − 1); similarily, an SRAM2 MMU page n covers
0x3F F C0000 + (pagesize ∗ n) to 0x3F F C0000 + (pagesize ∗ (n + 1) − 1). Tables 97 and 98 show the resulting
addresses in full.

26. PID/MPU/MMU
MMU Mapping
For each of the SRAM0 and SRAM2 MMUs, access rights and virtual to physical page mapping are done by a
set of 16 registers. In contrast to most of the other MMUs, each register controls a physical page, not a virtual
one. These registers control which of the PIDs have access to the physical memory, as well as which virtual page
maps to this physical page. The bits in the register are described in Table 99. Keep in mind that these registers
only govern accesses from processes with PID 2 to 7; PID 0 and 1 always have full read and write access to all
pages and no virtual-to-physical mapping is done. In other words, if a process with a PID of 0 or 1 accesses
virtual page x, the access will always go to physical page x, regardless of these register settings. These registers,
as well as the page size selection registers DPORT_IMMU_PAGE_MODE_REG and
DPORT_DMMU_PAGE_MODE_REG, are only writable from a process with PID 0 or 1.

Differences Between SRAM0 and SRAM2 MMU
The memory governed by the SRAM0 MMU is accessed through the processors I-bus, while the processor
accesses the memory governed by the SRAM2 MMU through the D-bus. Thus, the normal envisioned use is for
the code to be stored in the SRAM0 MMU pages and data in the MMU pages of SRAM2. In general, applications
running under a PID of 2 to 7 are not expected to modify their own code, because for these PIDs access to the
MMU pages of SRAM0 is read-only. These applications must, however, be able to modify their data section, so
that they are allowed to read as well as write MMU pages located in SRAM2. As stated before, processes
running under PID 0 or 1 always have full read-and-write access to both memory ranges.
DMA MPU
Applications may want to configure the DMA to send data straight from or to the peripherals they can control.
With access to DMA, a malicious process may also be able to copy data from or to a region it cannot normally
Espressif Systems
532
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
26. PID/MPU/MMU
access. In order to be secure against that scenario, there is a DMA MPU which can be used to disallow DMA
transfers from memory regions with sensitive data in them.
For each 8 KB region in the SRAM1 and SRAM2 regions, there is a bit in the DPORT_AHB_MPU_TABLE_n_REG
registers which tells the MPU to either allow or disallow DMA access to this region. The DMA MPU uses only
these bits to decide if a DMA transfer can be started; the PID of the process is not a factor. This means that
when the OS wants to restrict its processes in a heterogenous fashion, it will need to re-load these registers with
the values applicable to the process to be run on every context switch.
The register bits that govern access to the 8 KB regions are detailed in Table 100. When a register bit is set, DMA
can read/write the corresponding 8 KB memory range. When the bit is cleared, access to that memory range is
denied.

Registers DPROT_AHB_MPU_TABLE_0_REG�DPROT_AHB_MPU_TABLE_1_REG are located in the DPort
address space. Only processes with a PID of 0 or 1 can modify these two registers.
26.3.2.2 External Memory
Accesses to the external flash and external SPI RAM are done through a cache and are also handled by an
MMU. This Cache MMU can apply different mappings, depending on the PID of the process as well as the CPU
the process is running on. The MMU does this in a way that is similar to the internal memory MMU, that is, for
every page of virtual memory, it has a register detailing which physical page this virtual page should map to.
There are differences between the MMUs governing the internal memory and the Cache MMU, though. First of
all, the Cache MMU has a fixed page size (which is 64 KB for external flash and 32 KB for external RAM) and
secondly, instead of specifying access rights in the MMU entries, the Cache MMU has explicit mapping tables for
each PID and processor core. The MMU mapping configuration registers will be referred to as ’entries’ in the rest
of this chapter. These registers are only accessible from processes with a PID of 0 or 1; processes with a PID of 2
to 7 will have to delegate to one of the above-mentioned processes to change their MMU settings.
The MMU entries, as stated before, are used for mapping a virtual memory page access to a physical memory
page access. The MMU controls five regions of virtual address space, detailed in Table 101. V Addr1 to V Addr4
are used for accessing external flash, whereas V AddrRAM is used for accessing external RAM. Note that
V Addr4 is a subset of V Addr0 .

* The configuration entries for address range 0x4000_0000 ~ 0x403F_FFFF are implemented and documented as if it were a full 4 MB address range, but it is not accessible as such. Instead, the address range
0x4000_0000 ~ 0x400C_1FFF accesses on-chip memory. This means that some of the configuration entries for
V Addr1 will not be used.
External Flash
For flash, the relationships among entry numbers, virtual memory ranges, and PIDs are detailed in Tables 102 and
103, which for every memory region and PID combination specify the first MMU entry governing the mapping.
This number refers to the MMU entry governing the very first page; the entire region is described by the amount
of pages specified in the ’count’ column.
These two tables are essentially the same, with the sole difference being that the APP_CPU entry numbers are
2048 higher than the corresponding PRO_CPU numbers. Note that memory regions V Addr0 and V Addr1 are
only accessible using PID 0 and 1, while V Addr4 can only be accessed by PID 2 ~ 7.

Espressif Systems

special mode to allow processes with a PID of 2 to 7 to read the External Flash via address V Addr1 . When the
DPORT_PRO_SINGLE_IRAM_ENA bit of register DPORT_PRO_CACHE_CTRL_REG is 1, the MMU enters this
special mode for PRO_CPU memory accesses. Similarily, when the DPORT_APP_SINGLE_IRAM_ENA bit of

Every configuration entry of MMU maps a virtual address page of a CPU process to a physical address page. An
entry is 32 bits wide. Of these, bits 0~7 indicate the physical page the virtual page is mapped to. Bit 8 should be
cleared to indicate that the MMU entry is valid; entries with this bit set will not map any physical address to the
virtual address. Bits 10 to 32 are unused and should be written as zero. Because there are eight address bits in
an MMU entry, and the page size for external flash is 64 KB, a maximum of 256 * 64 KB = 16 MB of external flash
is supported.
Examples
Example 1. A PRO_CPU process, with a PID of 1, needs to read external flash address 0x07_2375 via virtual
address 0x3F70_2375. The MMU is not in the special mode.
• According to Table 101, virtual address 0x3F70_2375 resides in the 0x30’th page of V Addr0 .
• According to Table 102, the MMU entry for V Addr0 for PID 0/1 for the PRO_CPU starts at 0.
• The modified MMU entry is 0 + 0x30 = 0x30.
• Address 0x07_2375 resides in the 7’th 64 KB-sized page.
• MMU entry 0x30 needs to be set to 7 and marked as valid by setting the 8’th bit to 0. Thus, 0x007 is
written to MMU entry 0x30.
Espressif Systems
536
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
26. PID/MPU/MMU
Example 2. An APP_CPU process, with a PID of 4, needs to read external flash address 0x44_048C via virtual
address 0x4044_048C. The MMU is not in special mode.
• According to Table 101, virtual address 0x4044_048C resides in the 0x4’th page of V Addr2 .
• According to Table 103, the MMU entry for V Addr2 for PID 4 for the APP_CPU starts at 2560.
• The modified MMU entry is 2560 + 0x4 = 2564.
• Address 0x44_048C resides in the 0x44’th 64 KB-sized page.
• MMU entry 2564 needs to be set to 0x44 and marked as valid by setting the 8’th bit to 0. Thus, 0x044 is
written to MMU entry 2564.
External RAM
Processes running on PRO_CPU and APP_CPU can read and write External SRAM via the Cache at virtual
address range V AddrRAM , which is 0x3F80_0000 ~ 0x3FBF_FFFF. As with the flash MMU, the address space
and the physical memory are divided into pages. For the External RAM MMU, the page size is 32 KB and the
MMU is able to map 256 physical pages into the virtual address space, allowing for 32 KB * 256 = 8 MB of
physical external RAM to be mapped.
The mapping of virtual pages into this memory range depends on the mode this MMU is in: Low-High mode,
Even-Odd mode, or Normal mode. In all cases, the DPORT_PRO_DRAM_HL bit and
DPORT_PRO_DRAM_SPLIT bit in register DPORT_PRO_CACHE_CTRL_REG, the DPORT_APP_DRAM_HL bit
and DPORT_APP_DRAM_SPLIT bit in register DPORT_APP_CACHE_CTRL_REG determine the virtual address
mode for External SRAM. For details, please see Table 106. If a different mapping for the PRO_CPU and
APP_CPU is required, the Normal Mode should be selected, as it is the only mode that can provide this. If it is
allowable for the PRO_CPU and the APP_CPU to share the same mapping, using either High-Low or Even-Odd
mode can give a speed gain when both CPUs access memory frequently.
In case the APP_CPU cache is disabled, which renders the region of 0x4007_8000 to 0x4007_FFFF usable as
normal internal RAM, the usability of the various cache modes changes. Normal mode will allow PRO_CPU
access to external RAM to keep functioning, but the APP_CPU will be unable to access the external RAM.
High-Low mode allows both CPUs to use external RAM, but only for the 2 MB virtual memory addresses from
0x3F80_0000 to 0x3F9F_FFFF. It is not advised to use Even-Odd mode with the APP_CPU cache region
disabled.

In normal mode, the virtual-to-physical page mapping can be different for both CPUs. Page mappings for
PRO_CPU are set using the MMU entries for L V AddrRAM , and page mappings for the APP_CPU can be
configured using the MMU entries for R V AddrRAM . In this mode, all 128 pages of both L V Addr and R V Addr
are fully used, allowing a maximum of 8 MB of memory to be mapped; 4 MB into PRO_CPU address space and
a possibly different 4 MB into the APP_CPU address space, as can be seen in Table 107.

In Even-Odd memory, the VRAM is split into 32-byte chunks. The even chunks are resolved through the MMU
entries for L V AddrRAM , the odd chunks through the entries for R V AddrRAM . Generally, the MMU entries for
L
V AddrRAM and R V AddrRAM are set to the same values, so that the virtual pages map to a contiguous region
of physical memory. Table 109 details this mode.

The bit configuration of the External RAM MMU entries is the same as for the flash memory: the entries are 32-bit
registers, with the lower nine bits being used. Bits 0~7 contain the physical page the entry should map its
associate virtual page address to, while bit 8 is cleared when the entry is valid and set when it is not. Table 110
details the first MMU entry number for L V AddrRAM and R V AddrRAM for all PIDs.

Examples
Example 1. A PRO_CPU process, with a PID of 7, needs to read or write external RAM address 0x7F_A375 via
virtual address 0x3FA7_2375. The MMU is in Low-High mode.
• According to Table 101, virtual address 0x3FA7_2375 resides in the 0x4E’th 32-KB-page of V AddrRAM .
• According to Table 108, virtual address 0x3FA7_2375 is governed by R V AddrRAM .
• According to Table 110, the MMU entry for R V AddrRAM for PID 7 for the PRO_CPU starts at 3968.
• The modified MMU entry is 3968 + 0x4E = 4046.
• Address 0x7F_A375 resides in the 255’th 32 KB-sized page.
• MMU entry 4046 needs to be set to 255 and marked as valid by clearing the 8’th bit. Thus, 0x0FF is written
to MMU entry 4046.
Example 2. An APP_CPU process, with a PID of 5, needs to read or write external RAM address 0x55_5805 up
to 0x55_5823 starting at virtual address 0x3F85_5805. The MMU is in Even-Odd mode.
• According to Table 101, virtual address 0x3F85_5805 resides in the 0x0A’th 32-KB-page of V AddrRAM .
• According to Table 109, the range to be read/written spans both a 32-byte region in R V AddrRAM and
L
V AddrRAM .
• According to Table 110, the MMU entry for L V AddrRAM for PID 5 starts at 1664.
• According to Table 110, the MMU entry for R V AddrRAM for PID 5 starts at 3712.
• The modified MMU entries are 1664 + 0x0A = 1674 and 3712 + 0x0A = 3722.
• The addresses 0x55_5805 to 0x55_5823 reside in the 0xAA’th 32 KB-sized page.
• MMU entries 1674 and 3722 need to be set to 0xAA and marked as valid by setting the 8’th bit to 0. Thus,
0x0AA is written to MMU entries 1674 and 3722. This mapping applies to both the PRO_CPU and the
APP_CPU.
Example 3. A PRO_CPU process, with a PID of 1, and an APP_CPU process whose PID is also 1, need to read
or write external RAM using virtual address 0x3F80_0876. The PRO_CPU needs this region to access physical
address 0x10_0876, while the APP_CPU wants to access physical address 0x20_0876 through this virtual
address. The MMU is in Normal mode.
• According to Table 101, virtual address 0x3F80_0876 resides in the 0’th 32-KB-page of V AddrRAM .
• According to Table 110, the MMU entry for PID 1 for the PRO_CPU starts at 1152.
• According to Table 110, the MMU entry for PID 1 for the APP_CPU starts at 3200.
• The MMU entries that are modified are 1152 + 0 = 1152 for the PRO_CPU and 3200 + 0 = 3200 for the
APP_CPU.
• Address 0x10_0876 resides in the 0x20’th 32 KB-sized page.
• Address 0x20_0876 resides in the 0x40’th 32 KB-sized page.
• For the PRO_CPU, MMU entry 1152 needs to be set to 0x20 and marked as valid by clearing the 8’th bit.
Thus, 0x020 is written to MMU entry 1152.
Espressif Systems
539
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
26. PID/MPU/MMU
• For the APP_CPU, MMU entry 3200 needs to be set to 0x40 and marked as valid by clearing the 8’th bit.
Thus, 0x040 is written to MMU entry 3200.
• Now, the PRO_CPU and the APP_CPU can access different physical memory regions through the same
virtual address.

PID Controller
27.1
Overview
The ESP32 is a dual core device and is capable of running and managing multiple processes. The PID Controller
supports switching of PID when a process switch occurs. In addition to PID management, the PID Controller also
facilitates management of nested interrupts by recording execution status just before an interrupt service routine
is executed. This enables the user application to manage process switches and nested interrupts more
efficiently.
27.2
Features
The PID Controller features:
• Process management and priority
• Process PID switch
• Interrupt information recording
• Nested interrupt management
27.3
Functional Description
Eight processes run on the CPU, and are assigned with PID of 0 ~ 7 respectively. Among the eight processes,
processes with PID of 0 or 1 are elevated processes with higher authority compared to processes with PID
ranging from 2 ~ 7.
A CPU process switch may occur in two cases:
• An interrupt occurs and the CPU fetches an instruction from the interrupt vector. Instruction fetch or
execution from interrupt vector is always treated as a process with PID of 0, irrespective of which process
was being executed on the CPU when the interrupt occurred.
• A currently active process explicitly performs a process switch. Only elevated processes with PID of 0 or 1
may perform a process switch.

ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
27. PID CONTROLLER
27.3.1 Interrupt Identification
Interrupts are classified into seven priority levels: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, Level 5, Level 6 (Debug), and
NMI. Each level of interrupt is assigned an interrupt vector entry address. The PID Controller recognizes CPU
instruction fetch from an interrupt vector entry address and automatically switches PID to 0. If CPU only
accesses the interrupt vector entry address, PID Controller performs no action.
PIDCTRL_INTERRUPT_ENABLE_REG determines whether the PID Controller identifies and registers an interrupt
of certain priority. When a bit of register PIDCTRL_INTERRUPT_ENABLE_REG is 1, PID Controller will take action
when CPU fetches instruction from the interrupt vector entry address of the corresponding interrupt. Otherwise,
PID Controller performs no action. The registers PIDCTRL_INTERRUPT_ADDR_1_REG ~
PIDCTRL_INTERRUPT_ADDR_7_REG define the interrupt vector entry address for all the interrupt priority levels.
For details please refer to Table 113.

27.3.2 Information Recording
When PID Controller identifies an interrupt, it records three items of information in addition to switching PID to 0.
The recorded information includes the priority level of current interrupt, previous interrupt status of the system
and the previous process running on the CPU.
PID Controller records the priority level of the current interrupt in register PIDCTRL_LEVEL_REG. For details
please refer to Table 114.

PID Controller possesses registers PIDCTRL_FROM_1_REG ~ PIDCTRL_FROM_7_REG, which correspond to
the interrupts of Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, Level 5, Level 6 (Debug), and NMI respectively. This enables
the system to implement interrupt nesting. Please refer to Table 124 for examples.

Figure 124: Interrupt Nesting
If the configuration of register PIDCTRL_INTERRUPT_ENABLE_REG prevents PID Controller from identifying an
interrupt, PID Controller will not record any information, and PIDCTRL_LEVEL_REG and PIDCTRL_FROM_n_REG
will remain unchanged.
27.3.3 Proactive Process Switching
As mentioned before, only an elevated process with PID of 0/1 can initiate a process switch. The new process
may have any PID from 0 ~ 7 after the process switch. The key for successful proactive process switching is that
when the last command of the current process switches to the first command of the new process, PID should
Espressif Systems
545
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
27. PID CONTROLLER
switch from 0/1 to that of the new process.
The software procedure for proactive process switching is as follows:
1. Mask all the interrupts except NMI by using software.
2. Set register PIDCTRL_NMI_MASK_ENABLE_REG to 1 to generate a CPU NMI Interrupt Mask signal.
3. Configure registers PIDCTRL_PID_DELAY_REG and PIDCTRL_NMI_DELAY_REG.
4. Configure register PIDCTRL_PID_NEW_REG.
5. Configure register PIDCTRL_LEVEL_REG and PIDCTRL_FROM_n_REG.
6. Set register PIDCTRL_PID_CONFIRM_REG and register PIDCTRL_NMI_MASK_DISABLE_REG to 1.
7. Revoke the masking of all interrupts but NMI.
8. Switch to the new process and fetch instruction.
Though we can deal with interrupt nesting, an elevated process should not be interrupted during the process
switching, and therefore the interrupts have been masked in step 1 and step 2.
In step 3, the configured values of registers PIDCTRL_PID_DELAY_REG and PIDCTRL_NMI_DELAY_REG will
affect step 6.
In step 4, the configured value of register PIDCTRL_PID_NEW_REG will be the new PID after step 6.
If the system is currently in a nested interrupt and needs to revert to the previous interrupt, register
PIDCTRL_LEVEL_REG must be restored based on the information recorded in register PIDCTRL_FROM_n_REG
in step 5.
In step 6, after the values of register PIDCTRL_PID_CONFIRM_REG and register
PIDCTRL_NMI_MASK_DISABLE_REG are set to 1, PID Controller will not immediately switch PID to the value of
register PIDCTRL_PID_NEW_REG, nor disable CPU NMI Interrupt Mask signal at once. Instead, PID Controller
performs each task after a different number of clock cycles. The numbers of clock cycles are the values specified
in register PIDCTRL_PID_DELAY_REG and PIDCTRL_NMI_DELAY_REG respectively.
In step 7, other tasks can be implemented as well. To do this, the cost of those tasks should be included when
configuring registers PIDCTRL_PID_DELAY_REG and PIDCTRL_NMI_DELAY_REG in step 3.

On-Chip Sensors and Analog Signal Processing
28.1
Introduction
ESP32 has three types of built-in sensors for various applications: a capacitive touch sensor with up to 10 inputs,
a Hall effect sensor and a temperature sensor.
The processing of analog signals is done by two successive approximation ADCs (SAR ADC). There are five
controllers dedicated to operating ADCs. This provides flexibility when it comes to converting analog inputs in
both high-performance and low-power modes, with minimum processor overhead.
There is an attractive complement to the input of SAR ADC1, which processes small signals – the low noise
analog amplifier with an adjustable amplification ratio.
ESP32 is also capable of generating analog signals, using two independent DACs and a cosine waveform
generator.
28.2
Capacitive Touch Sensor
28.2.1 Introduction
A touch-sensor system is built on a substrate which carries electrodes and relevant connections under a
protective flat surface; see Figure 125. When a user touches the surface, the capacitance variation is triggered
and a binary signal is generated to indicate whether the touch is valid.
Figure 125: Touch Sensor
28.2.2 Features
• Up to 10 capacitive touch pads / GPIOs
• The sensing pads can be arranged in different combinations, so that a larger area or more points can be
detected.
• The touch pad sensing process is under the control of a hardware-implemented finite-state machine (FSM)
which is initiated by software or a dedicated hardware timer.
• Information that a pad has been touched can be obtained:
Espressif Systems
552
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
28. ON-CHIP SENSORS AND ANALOG SIGNAL PROCESSING
– by checking touch-sensor registers directly through software,
– from an interrupt triggered by a touch detection,
– by waking up the CPU from deep sleep upon touch detection.
• Support for low-power operation in the following scenarios:
– CPU waiting in deep sleep and saving power until touch detection and subsequent wake up
– Touch detection managed by the ULP coprocessor
The user program in ULP coprocessor can trigger a scanning process by checking and writing into
specific registers, in order to verify whether the touch threshold is reached.

All 10 available sensing GPIOs (pads) are listed in Table 117.

The internal structure of the touch sensor is shown in Figure 126. The operating flow is shown in Figure
127.
Figure 126: Touch Sensor Structure
The capacitance of a touch pad is periodically charged and discharged. The chart ”Pad Voltage” shows the
Espressif Systems
553
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
28. ON-CHIP SENSORS AND ANALOG SIGNAL PROCESSING
charge/discharge voltage that swings from DREFH (reference voltage high) to DREFL (reference voltage low).
During each swing, the touch sensor generates an output pulse, shown in the chart as ”OUT”. The swing slope is
different when the pad is touched (high capacitance) and when it is not (low capacitance). By comparing the
difference between the output pulse counts during the same time interval, we can conclude whether the touch
pad has been touched. TIE_OPT is used to establish the initial voltage level that starts the charge/discharge
cycle.
Figure 127: Touch Sensor Operating Flow
28.2.5 Touch FSM
The Touch FSM performs a measurement sequence described in section 28.2.4. Software can operate the
Touch FSM through dedicated registers. The internal structure of a touch FSM is shown in Figure 128.
The functions of Touch FSM include:
• Receipt of a start signal, either from software or a timer
– when SENS_SAR_TOUCH_START_FORCE=1, SENS_SAR_TOUCH_START_EN is used to initiate a
single measurement
– when SENS_SAR_TOUCH_START_FORCE=0, measurement is triggered periodically with a timer.
The Touch FSM can be active in sleep mode. The SENS_SAR_TOUCH_SLEEP_CYCLES register can be
used to set the cycles. The sensor is operated by FAST_CLK, which normally runs at 8 MHz. More
information on that can be found in chapter Reset and Clock.
• Generation of XPD_TOUCH_BIAS / TOUCH_XPD / TOUCH_START with adjustable timing sequence
To select enabled pads, TOUCH_XPD / TOUCH_START is masked by the 10-bit register
SENS_SAR_TOUCH_PAD_WORKEN.
• Counting of pulses on TOUCH0_OUT ~ TOUCH9_OUT
The result can be read from SENS_SAR_TOUCH_MEAS_OUTn. All ten touch sensors can work
simultaneously.
• Generation of a wakeup interrupt
The FSM regards the touch pads as “touched”, if the number of counted pulses is below the threshold.
The 10-bit registers SENS_TOUCH_PAD_OUTEN1 & SENS_TOUCH_PAD_OUTEN2 define two sets of
touch pads, i.e. SET1 & SET2. If at least one of the pads in SET1 is “touched”, the wakeup interrupt will be
Espressif Systems
554
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
28. ON-CHIP SENSORS AND ANALOG SIGNAL PROCESSING
generated by default. It is also possible to configure the wakeup interrupt to be generated only when pads
from both sets are “touched”.
Figure 128: Touch FSM Structure
28.3
SAR ADC
28.3.1 Introduction
ESP32 integrates two 12-bit SAR ADCs. They are managed by five SAR ADC controllers, and are able to
measure signals from one to 18 analog pads. It is also possible to measure internal signals, such as vdd33. Some
of the pads can be used to build a programmable gain-amplifier which measures small analog signals.
The SAR ADC controllers have specialized uses. Two of them support high-performance multiple-channel
scanning. Another two are used for low-power operation during deep sleep, and the last one is dedicated to
PWDET / PKDET (power and peak detection). A diagram of the SAR ADCs is shown in Figure 129.

28.3.4 RTC SAR ADC Controllers
The purpose of SAR ADC controllers in the RTC power domain – RTC ADC1 CTRL and RTC ADC2 CTRL – is to
provide ADC measurement with minimal power consumption in a low frequency.
The outline of a single controller’s function is shown in Figure 131. For each controller, the start of
analog-to-digital conversion can be triggered by register SENS_SAR_MEASn_START_SAR. The measurement’s
result can be obtained from register SENS_SAR_MEASn_DATA_SAR.
Espressif Systems
558
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
28. ON-CHIP SENSORS AND ANALOG SIGNAL PROCESSING
Figure 131: RTC SAR ADC Outline of Function
The controllers are intertwined with the ULP coprocessor, as the ULP coprocessor has a built-in instruction to
start an ADC measurement. In many cases, the controllers need to cooperate with the ULP coprocessor,
e.g.:
• when periodically monitoring a channel during deep sleep, where the ULP coprocessor is the only trigger
source during this mode;
• when scanning channels continuously in a sequence. Continuous scanning or DMA is not supported by
the controllers. However, it is possible with the help of the ULP coprocessor.
The SAR ADC1 controller supports the low-noise amplifier, as well as DAC. As such, SAR ADC1 can be used in
complex application scenarios.
28.3.5 DIG SAR ADC Controllers
Compared to RTC SAR ADC controllers, DIG SAR ADC controllers have optimized performance and throughput.
Some of their features are:
• High performance; the clock is much faster, therefore, the sample rate is highly increased.
• Multiple-channel scanning mode; there is a pattern table that defines the measurement rule for each SAR
ADC. The scanning mode can be configured as a single mode, double mode, or alternate mode.
• The scanning can be started by software or I2S.
• DMA support; an interrupt will be generated when scanning is finished.
Note:
We do not use the term “start of conversion” in this section, because there is no direct access to starting a single SAR
analog-to-digital conversion. We use “start of scan” instead, which implies that we expect to scan a sequence of channels
with DIG ADC controllers.
Figure 132 shows a diagram of DIG SAR ADC controllers.
Espressif Systems
559
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
28. ON-CHIP SENSORS AND ANALOG SIGNAL PROCESSING
Figure 132: Diagram of DIG SAR ADC Controllers
The pattern tables contain the measurement rules mentioned above. Each table has 16 items which store
information on channel selection, resolution and attenuation. When scanning starts, the controller reads
measurement rules one-by-one from a pattern table. For each controller the scanning sequence includes 16
different rules at most, before repeating itself.
The 8-bit item (the pattern table register) is composed of three fields that contain channel, resolution and
attenuation information, as shown in Table 120.
Table 120: Fields of the Pattern Table Register
Pattern Table Register [7:0]
ch_sel[3:0]
bit_width[1:0]
atten[1:0]
channel to be scanned

There are three scanning modes: single mode, double mode and alternate mode.
• Single mode: channels of either SAR ADC1 or SAR ADC2 will be scanned.
• Double mode: channels of SAR ADC1 and SAR ADC2 will be scanned simultaneously.
• Alternate mode: channels of SAR ADC1 and SAR ADC2 will be scanned alternately.
ESP32 supports up to a 12-bit SAR ADC resolution. The 16-bit data in DMA is composed of the ADC result and
some necessary information related to the scanning mode:
• For single mode, only 4-bit information on channel selection is added.
• For double mode or alternate mode, 4-bit information on channel selection is added plus one extra bit
indicating which SAR ADC was selected.
For each scanning mode there is a corresponding data format, called Type I and Type II. Both data formats are
described in Tables 121 and 122.

For Type I the resolution of SAR ADC is up to 12 bits, while for Type II the resolution is 11 bits at most.
DIG SAR ADC Controllers allow the use of I2S for direct memory access. The WS signal of I2S acts as a
measurement-trigger signal. The DATA signal provides the information that the measurement result is ready.
Software can configure APB_SARADC_DATA_TO_I2S, in order to connect ADC to I2S.
28.4
Low-Noise Amplifier
28.4.1 Introduction
ESP32 integrates an analog amplifier designed to amplify a small DC signal that is then passed on to SAR ADC1
for sampling. The amplification gain is adjustable with two off-chip capacitors.
28.4.2 Features
• Configurable gain by changing the value of two sampling capacitors connected to pins SENSOR_CAPP /
SENSOR_VP and SENSOR_CAPN / SENSOR_VN; see Figure 133.
• Designed to operate with other on-chip components like e.g. DAC or ULP coprocessor.
28.4.3 Overview of Function
The structure of the low-noise amplifier is shown in Figure 133:
Figure 133: Structure of Low-Noise Amplifier
Espressif Systems
561
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
28. ON-CHIP SENSORS AND ANALOG SIGNAL PROCESSING
The amplifier’s sequence of operation is shown in Figure 134:
Figure 134: Low-Noise Amplifier – Sequence of Operation
1. The process is started by en_sar_amp. The amplifier is powered up and connected to the SAR ADC1.
2. A pulse on amp_rst_fb resets the amplifier. Vin is sampled by charging external capacitors.
3. Finally, amp_short_ref is closed. This starts integrating the Vin sample by the amplifier.
Vampo = Vin · C + Vcm
C is the value of external capacitors in pF. Vcm is the common-mode voltage of the amplifier output, which
is fixed.
If the common-mode voltage input, Vin , is about 0V, amp_short_ref_gnd could take the place of amp_short_ref .
In other cases, the bit controlling this signal should be always cleared. After the Vampo becomes stable, the SAR
ADC1 converts it into a digital value.
Since the low-power amplifier works always together with SAR ADC, it is usually controlled by the FSM in RTC
ADC1 CTRL.
28.5
Hall Sensor
28.5.1 Introduction
The Hall effect is the generation of a voltage difference across an n-type semiconductor passing electrical
current, when a magnetic field is applied to it in a direction perpendicular to that of the flow of the current. The
voltage is proportional to the product of the magnetic field’s strength and current value. A Hall-effect sensor
could be used to measure the strength of a magnetic field, when constant current flows through it, or when the
current is in the presence of a constant magnetic field. As the heart of many applications, the Hall-effect sensors
provide proximity detection, positioning, speed measurement, and current sensing.
Inside of ESP32 there is a Hall sensor for magnetic field-sensing applications, which is designed to feed voltage
signals to the ultra-low noise amplifier and SAR ADC. It can be controlled by the ULP coprocessor, when
low-power operation is required. Such functionality, which enhances the power-processing and flexibility of
ESP32, makes it an attractive solution for position sensing, proximity detection, speed measurement, etc.
Espressif Systems
562
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
28. ON-CHIP SENSORS AND ANALOG SIGNAL PROCESSING
28.5.2 Features
• Built-in Hall element with amplifier
• Designed to operate with low-noise amplifier and ADC
• Capable of outputting both analog voltage and digital signals related to the strength of the magnetic field
• Powerful and easy-to-implement functionality, due to its integration with built-in ULP coprocessor, GPIOs,
CPU, Wi-Fi, etc.
28.5.3 Functional Description
The Hall sensor converts the magnetic field into voltage, feeds it into an amplifier, and then outputs it through pin
SENSOR_VP and pin SENSOR_VN. ESP32’s built-in low-noise amplifier and ADC convert the voltage into a
digital value for processing by the CPU in the digital domain.
The inner structure of a Hall sensor is shown in Figure 135.
Figure 135: Hall Sensor
The configuration of a Hall sensor for reading is done with registers SENS_SAR_TOUCH_CTRL1_REG and
RTCIO_HALL_SENS_REG, which are used to power up the Hall sensor and connect it to the low-noise amplifier.
The subsequent processing is done by SAR ADC1. The result is obtained from the RTC ADC1 controller. For
more details, please refer to sections 28.4 and 28.3.
28.6
Temperature Sensor
28.6.1 Introduction
The temperature sensor generates a voltage that changes linearly with temperature. The output voltage is then
converted with ADC into a digital value. The temperature measurement range is -40°C ~ 125°C.
It should be noted that temperature measurements are affected by heat generated by Wi-Fi circuitry. This
depends on power transmission, data transfer, module / PCB construction and the related dispersion of heat.
Also, temperature-versus-voltage characteristics have different offset from chip to chip, due to process variation.
Espressif Systems
563
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
28. ON-CHIP SENSORS AND ANALOG SIGNAL PROCESSING
Therefore, the temperature sensor is suitable mainly for applications that detect temperature changes rather than
the absolute value of temperature.
Improvement of accuracy in absolute temperature measurement is possible by performing sensor calibration and
by operating ESP32 in low-power modes which reduce variation and the amount of heat generated by the
module itself.
28.6.2 Features
• Temperature measurement range: -40°C to 125°C
• Suitable for applications that detect changes in temperature rather than the absolute value of temperature.
28.6.3 Functional Description
A generic schematic description of the temperature sensor’s operation is provided in Figure 136. The
temperature-sensing device converts the temperature into voltage; then, the ADC samples and converts the
voltage into a digital value. Eventually, this value can be processed by a user application.
Figure 136: Temperature Sensor
The configuration of the temperature sensor is done by using register SENS_SAR_TSENS_CTRL_REG. The
conversion status is available in register SENS_TSENS_RDY_OUT. The measurement result can be read from
SENS_TSENS_OUT.
28.7
DAC
28.7.1 Introduction
Two 8-bit DAC channels can be used to convert digital values into analog output signals (up to two of them). The
design structure is composed of integrated resistor strings and a buffer. This dual DAC supports power supply
and uses it as input voltage reference. The dual DAC also supports independent or simultaneous signal
conversions inside of its channels.
28.7.2 Features
The features of DAC are as follows:
• Two 8-bit DAC channels
• Independent or simultaneous conversion in channels
• Voltage reference from the VDD3P3_RTC pin
Espressif Systems
564
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
28. ON-CHIP SENSORS AND ANALOG SIGNAL PROCESSING
• Cosine waveform (CW) generator
• DMA capability
• Start of conversion can be triggered by software or SAR ADC FSM (please refer to the SAR ADC chapter
for more details)
• Can be fully controlled by the ULP coprocessor
A diagram showing the DAC channel’s function is presented in Figure 137. For a detailed description, see the
sections below.
Figure 137: Diagram of DAC Function
28.7.3 Structure
The two 8-bit DAC channels can be configured independently. For each DAC channel, the output analog voltage
can be calculated as follows:
DACn_OUT = VDD3P3_RTC · PDACn_DAC/256
• VDD3P3_RTC is the voltage on pin VDD3P3_RTC (typically 3.3V).
• PDACn_DAC has multiple sources: CW generator, register RTCIO_PAD_DACn_REG, and DMA.
The start of conversion is determined by register RTCIO_PAD_PDACn_XPD_DAC. The conversion process itself
is controlled by software or SAR ADC FSM; see Figure 137.
28.7.4 Cosine Waveform Generator
The cosine waveform (CW) generator can be used to generate a cosine / sine tone. A diagram showing cosine
waveform generator’s function is presented in Figure 138.
The CW generator has the following features:
• Adjustable frequency
The frequency of CW can be adjusted by register SENS_SAR_SW_FSTEP[15:0]:
freq = dig_clk_rtc_freq · SENS_SAR_SW_FSTEP/65536
The frequency of dig_clk_rtc is typically 8 MHz.
Espressif Systems
565
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
28. ON-CHIP SENSORS AND ANALOG SIGNAL PROCESSING
• Scaling
Configuring register SENS_SAR_DAC_SCALEn[1:0]; the amplitude of a CW can be multiplied by 1, 1/2, 1/4
or 1/8.
• DC offset
The offset may be introduced by register SENS_SAR_DAC_DCn[7:0]. The result will be saturated.
• Phase shift
A phase-shift of 0 / 90 / 180 / 270 degrees can be added by setting register SENS_SAR_DAC_INVn[1:0].
Figure 138: Cosine Waveform (CW) Generator
28.7.5 DMA support
A DMA controller with dual DMA channels can be used to set the output of two DAC channels. By configuring
SENS_SAR_DAC_DIG_FORCE, I2S_clk can be connected to DAC clk, and I2S_DATA_OUT can be connected to
DAC_DATA for direct memory access.

ULP Co-processor
29.1
Introduction
The ULP co-processor is an ultra-low-power processor that remains powered on during the Deep-sleep mode of
the main SoC. Hence, the developer can store in the RTC memory a program for the ULP co-processor to
access peripheral devices, internal sensors and RTC registers during deep sleep. This is useful for designing
applications where the CPU needs to be woken up by an external event, or timer, or a combination of these,
while maintaining minimal power consumption.
29.2
Features
• Contains up to 8 KB of SRAM for instructions and data
• Uses RTC_FAST_CLK, which is 8 MHz
• Works both in normal and deep sleep
• Is able to wake up the digital core or send an interrupt to the CPU
• Can access peripheral devices, internal sensors and RTC registers
• Contains four 16-bit general-purpose registers (R0, R1, R2, R3) for manipulating data and accessing
memory
• Includes one 8-bit Stage_cnt register which can be manipulated by ALU and used in JUMP instructions

Functional Description
The ULP co-processor is a programmable FSM (Finite State Machine) that can work during deep sleep. Like
general-purpose CPUs, ULP co-processor also has some instructions which can be useful for a relatively
complex logic, and also some special commands for RTC controllers/peripherals. The 8 KB of SRAM RTC slow
memory can be accessed by both the ULP co-processor and the CPU; hence, it is usually used to store
instructions and share data between the ULP co-processor and the CPU.
The ULP co-processor can be started by software or a periodically-triggered timer. The operation of the ULP
co-processor is ended by executing the HALT instruction. Meanwhile, it can access almost every module in RTC
domain, either through built-in instructions or RTC registers. In many cases the ULP co-processor can be a good
supplement to, or replacement of, the CPU, especially for power-sensitive applications. Figure 139 shows the
overall layout of a ULP co-processor.
29.4
Instruction Set
The ULP co-processor provides the following instructions:
• Perform arithmetic and logic operations - ALU
• Load and store data - LD, ST, REG_RD and REG_WR
• Jump to a certain address - JUMP
• Manage program execution - WAIT/HALT
• Control sleep period of ULP co-processor - SLEEP
• Wake up/communicate with SoC - WAKE
• Take measurements - TSENS and ADC
• Communicate using I2C - I2C_RD/I2C_WR
The ULP co-processor’s instruction format is shown in Figure 140.

OpCode
Operands
Figure 140: The ULP Co-processor Instruction Format
An instruction, which has one OpCode, can perform various different operations, depending on the setting of
Operands bits. A good example is the ALU instruction, which is able to perform ten arithmetic and logic
operations; or the JUMP instruction, which may be conditional or unconditional, absolute or relative.
Each instruction has a fixed width of 32 bits. A series of instructions can make a program be executed by the
ULP co-processor. The execution flow inside the program uses 32-bit addressing. The program is stored in a
dedicated region called Slow Memory (RTC_SLOW_MEM), which is visible to the main CPUs as one that has an
address range of 0x5000_0000 to 0x5000_1FFF (8 KB).

29.4.1 ALU - Perform Arithmetic/Logic Operations
The ALU (Arithmetic and Logic Unit) performs arithmetic and logic operations on values stored in ULP
co-processor registers, and on immediate values stored in the instruction itself.
The following operations are supported:
• Arithmetic: ADD and SUB
• Logic: AND and OR
• Bit shifting: LSH and RSH
• Moving data to register: MOVE
• Stage count register manipulation: STAGE_RST, STAGE_INC and STAGE_DEC
The ALU instruction, which has one OpCode, can perform various different arithmetic and logic operations,
depending on the setting of the instruction’s bits [27:21] accordingly.

Description
The instruction stores the 16-bit value of Rsrc in the lower half-word of memory with address Rdst + Offset. The
upper half-word is written with the current program counter (PC) expressed in words and shifted to the left by 5
bits:
Mem [ Rdst + Offset ]{31:0} = {PC[10:0], 5’b0, Rsrc[15:0]}
The application can use the higher 16 bits to determine which instruction in the ULP program has written any
particular word into memory.
Note:
• This instruction can only access 32-bit memory words.
• Data from Rsrc is always stored in the lower 16 bits of a memory word. Differently put, it is not possible to
store Rsrc in the upper 16 bits of memory.
• The ”Mem” written is the RTC_SLOW_MEM memory. Address 0, as seen by the ULP co-processor,
corresponds to address 0x50000000, as seen by the main CPUs.

Note:
• This instruction can access registers in RTC_CNTL, RTC_IO, SENS and RTC_I2C peripherals. The address
of the register, as seen from the ULP co-processor, can be calculated from the address of the same register
on the DPORT bus, as follows:
addr_ulp = (addr_dport - DR_REG_RTCCNTL_BASE)/4
Espressif Systems

29. ULP CO-PROCESSOR
• The addr_ulp is expressed in 32-bit words (not in bytes), and value 0 maps onto the
DR_REG_RTCCNTL_BASE (as seen from the main CPUs). Thus, 10 bits of address cover a 4096-byte
range of peripheral register space, including regions DR_REG_RTCCNTL_BASE, DR_REG_RTCIO_BASE,
DR_REG_SENS_BASE and DR_REG_RTC_I2C_BASE.

29.5
ULP Program Execution
The ULP co-processor is designed to operate independently of the main CPUs, while they are either in deep
sleep or running.
In a typical power-saving scenario, the ULP co-processor operates while the main CPUs are in deep sleep. To
save power even further, the ULP co-processor can get into sleep mode, as well. In such a scenario, there is a
specific hardware timer in place to wake up the ULP co-processor, since there is no software program running at
the same time. This timer should be configured in advance by setting and then selecting one of the
SENS_ULP_CP_SLEEP_CYCn_REG registers that contain the expiration period. This can be done either by the
main program, or the ULP program with the REG_WR and SLEEP instructions. Then, the ULP timer should be
enabled by setting bit RTC_CNTL_ULP_CP_SLP_TIMER_EN in the RTC_CNTL_STATE0_REG register.
The ULP co-processor puts itself into sleep mode by executing the HALT instruction. This also triggers the ULP
timer to start counting RTC_SLOW_CLK ticks which, by default, originate from an internal 150 kHz RC oscillator.
Once the timer expires, the ULP co-processor is powered up and runs a program with the program counter (PC)
which is stored in register SENS_PC_INIT. The relationship between the described signals and registers is shown
in Figure 158.
On reset or power-up the above-mentioned ULP program may start up only after the expiration of
SENS_ULP_CP_SLEEP_CYC0_REG, which is the default selection period of the ULP timer.

Figure 158: Control of ULP Program Execution
A sample operation sequence of the ULP program is shown in Figure 159, where the following steps are
executed:
1. Software enables the ULP timer by using bit RTC_CNTL_ULP_CP_SLP_TIMER_EN.
2. The ULP timer expires and the ULP co-processor starts running the program at PC = SENS_PC_INIT.
3. The ULP program executes the HALT instruction; the ULP co-processor is halted and the timer gets
restarted.
4. The ULP program executes the SLEEP instruction to change the sleep timer period register.
5. The ULP program, or software, disables the ULP timer by using bit RTC_CNTL_ULP_CP_SLP_TIMER_EN.

RTC_I2C Controller
The ULP co-processor can use a separate I2C controller, located in the RTC domain, to communicate with
external I2C slave devices. RTC_I2C has a limited feature set, compared to I2C0/I2C1 peripherals.
29.6.1 Configuring RTC_I2C
Before the ULP co-processor can use the I2C instruction, certain parameters of the RTC_I2C need to be
configured. This can be done by the program running on one of the main CPUs, or by the ULP co-processor
itself. Configuration is performed by writing certain timing parameters into the RTC_I2C registers:
1. Set the low and high SCL half-periods by using RTC_I2C_SCL_LOW_PERIOD_REG and
RTC_I2C_SCL_HIGH_PERIOD_REG in RTC_FAST_CLK cycles (e.g. RTC_I2C_SCL_LOW_PERIOD=40,
RTC_I2C_SCL_HIGH_PERIOD=40 for 100 kHz frequency).
2. Set the number of cycles between the SDA switch and the falling edge of SCL by using
RTC_I2C_SDA_DUTY_REG in RTC_FAST_CLK (e.g. RTC_I2C_SDA_DUTY=16).
3. Set the waiting time after the START condition by using RTC_I2C_SCL_START_PERIOD_REG (e.g.
RTC_I2C_SCL_START_PERIOD=30).
4. Set the waiting time before the END condition by using RTC_I2C_SCL_STOP_PERIOD_REG (e.g.
RTC_I2C_SCL_STOP_PERIOD=44).
5. Set the transaction timeout by using RTC_I2C_TIMEOUT_REG (e.g. RTC_I2C_TIMEOUT=200).
6. Enable the master mode (set the RTC_I2C_MS_MODE bit in RTC_I2C_CTRL_REG).
7. Write the address(es) of external slave(s) to SENS_I2C_SLAVE_ADDRn (n: 0-7). Up to eight slave
addresses can be pre-programmed this way. One of these addresses can then be selected for each
transaction as part of the ULP I2C instruction.
Once RTC_I2C is configured, instructions ULP I2C_RD and I2C_WR can be used.
29.6.2 Using RTC_I2C
The ULP co-processor supports two instructions (with a single OpCode) for using RTC_I2C: I2C_RD (read) and
I2C_WR (write).

1. Master generates a START condition.
2. Master sends slave address, with r/w bit set to 0 (“write”). Slave address is obtained from

3. Slave generates ACK.
4. Master sends slave register address (given as an argument to the I2C_WR instruction).
5. Slave generates ACK.
6. Master generates a repeated START condition.

29.6.2.3 Detecting Error Conditions
ULP I2C_RD and I2C_WR instructions will not report error conditions, such as a NACK from a slave, via ULP
registers. Instead, applications can query specific bits in the RTC_I2C_INT_ST_REG register to determine if the
transaction was successful. To enable checking for specific communication events, their corresponding bits
should be set in register RTC_I2C_INT_EN_REG. Note that the bit map is shifted by 1. If a specific
communication event is detected and set in register RTC_I2C_INT_ST_REG, it can then be cleared using
RTC_I2C_INT_CLR_REG.
29.6.2.4 Connecting I2C Signals
SDA and SCL signals can be mapped onto two out of the four GPIO pins, which are identified in the ESP32 pin

Low-Power Management
30.1
Introduction
ESP32 offers efficient and flexible power-management technology to achieve the best balance between power
consumption, wakeup latency and available wakeup sources. Users can select out of five predefined power
modes of the main processors to suit specific needs of the application. In addition, to save power in
power-sensitive applications, control may be executed by the Ultra-Low-Power co-processor (ULP
co-processor), while the main processors are in Deep-sleep mode.
30.2
Features
• Five predefined power modes to support various applications
• Up to 16 KB of retention memory
• 8 x 32 bits of retention registers
• ULP co-processor enabled in all low-power modes
• RTC boot supported to shorten the wakeup latency

30. LOW-POWER MANAGEMENT
30.3
Functional Description
30.3.1 Overview
The low-power management unit includes voltage regulators, a power controller, power switch cells, power
domain isolation cells, etc. Figure 162 shows the high-level architecture of ESP32’s low-power
management.
30.3.2 Digital Core Voltage Regulator
The built-in voltage regulator can convert the external power supply (typically 3.3V) to 1.1V to support the internal
digital core. It receives a wide range of external power supply from 1.8V to 3.6V, and provides an output voltage
from 0.85V to 1.2V.
1. When XPD_DIG_REG == 1, the regulator outputs a 1.1V voltage and the digital core is able to run; when
XPD_DIG_REG == 0, both the regulator and the digital core stop running.
2. DIG_REG_DBIAS[2:0] tunes the supply voltage of the digital core:
VDD_DIG = 0.85 + DBIAS · 0.05V
3. The current to the digital core comes from pin VDD3P3_CPU and pin VDD3P3_RTC.
Figure 163 shows the structure of a digital core’s voltage regulator.
Figure 163: Digital Core Voltage Regulator
30.3.3 Low-Power Voltage Regulator
The built-in low-power voltage regulator can convert the external power supply (typically 3.3V) to 1.1V to support
the internal RTC core. To save power, it receives a wide range of external power supply from 1.8V to 3.6V, and
supports an adjustable output voltage of 0.85V to 1.2V in normal work mode, a fixed output voltage of about
0.75V both in Deep-sleep mode and Hibernation mode.

ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
30. LOW-POWER MANAGEMENT
1. When the pin CHIP_PU is at a high level, the low-power voltage regulator cannot be turned off. It should be
switched only between normal-work mode and Deep-sleep mode.
2. In normal-work mode, RTC_DBIAS[2:0] can be used to tune the output voltage:
VDD_RTC = 0.85 + DBIAS · 0.05V
3. In Deep-sleep mode, the output voltage of the regulator is fixed at about 0.75V.
4. The current to the RTC core comes from pin VDD3P3_RTC.
Figure 164 shows the structure of a low-power voltage regulator.
Figure 164: Low-Power Voltage Regulator
30.3.4 Flash Voltage Regulator
The built-in flash voltage regulator can supply a voltage of 3.3V or 1.8V to other devices (flash, for example) in the
system, with a maximum output current of 40 mA.
1. When XPD_SDIO_VREG == 1, the regulator outputs a voltage of 3.3V or 1.8V; when XPD_SDIO_VREG ==
0, the output is high-impedance and, in this case, the voltage is provided by the external power supply.
2. When SDIO_TIEH == 1, the regulator shorts pin VDD_SDIO to pin VDD3P3_RTC. The regulator then
outputs a voltage of 3.3V which is the voltage of pin VDD3P3_RTC. When SDIO_TIEH == 0, the inner loop
ties the regulator output to the voltage of VREF, which is typically 1.8V.
3. DREFH_SDIO, DREFM_SDIO and DREFL_SDIO could be used to tune the reference voltage VREF slightly.
However, it is recommended that users do not change the value of these registers, since it may affect the
stability of the inner loop.
4. When the regulator output is 3.3V or 1.8V, the output current comes from the pin VDD3P3_RTC.

30.3.5 Brownout Detector
The brownout detector checks the voltage of pin VDD3P3_RTC. If the voltage drops rapidly and becomes too
low, the detector would trigger a signal to shut down some power-consuming blocks (such as LNA, PA, etc.) to
allow extra time for the digital block to save and transfer important data. The power consumption of the detector
is ultra low. It remains enabled whenever the chip is powered on, with an adjustable trigger level calibrated
around 2.5V.
1. As the output of the brownout detector, RTC_CNTL_BROWN_OUT_DET goes high when the voltage of pin
VDD3P3_RTC is lower than the threshold value.
2. RTC_CNTL_DBROWN_OUT_THRES[2:0] is used to tune the threshold voltage, which is usually calibrated
around 2.5V.
Figure 166 shows the structure of a brownout detector.

30.3.6 RTC Module
The RTC module is designed to handle the entry into, and exit from, the low-power mode, and control the clock
sources, PLL, power switch and isolation cells to generate power-gating, clock-gating, and reset signals. As for
the low-power management, RTC is composed of the following modules (see Figure 167):
• RTC main state machine: records the power state.
Espressif Systems
612
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
30. LOW-POWER MANAGEMENT
• Digital & analog power controller: generates actual power-gating/clock-gating signals for digital parts and
analog parts.
• Sleep & wakeup controller: handles the entry into & exit from the low-power mode.
• Timers: include RTC main timer, ULP co-processor timer and touch timer.
• Low-Power processor and sensor controllers: include ULP co-processor, touch controller, SAR ADC
controller, etc.
• Retention memory:
– RTC slow memory: an 8 KB SRAM, mostly used as retention memory or instruction & data memory
for the ULP co-processor. The CPU accesses it through the APB, starting from address 0x50000000.
– RTC fast memory: an 8 KB SRAM, mostly used as retention memory. The CPU accesses it through
IRAM0/DRAM0. Fast RTC memory is about 10 times faster than the RTC slow memory.
• Retention registers: always-on registers of 8 x 32 bits, serving as data storage.
• RTC IO pads: 18 always-on analog pads, usually functioning as wake-up sources.

30.3.7 Low-Power Clocks
In the low-power mode, the 40 MHz crystal and PLL are usually powered down to save power. But clocks are
needed for the chip to remain active in the low-power mode.
For the RTC core, there are five possible clock sources:
• external low-speed (32.768 kHz) crystal clock CK_XTAL_32K,
• external high-speed (2 MHz ~ 40 MHz) crystal clock CK_40M_DIG,
• internal RC oscillator SLOW_CK (typically about 150 kHz and adjustable),
• internal 8-MHz oscillator CK8M_OUT, and
• internal 31.25-kHz clock CK8M_D256_OUT (derived from the internal 8-MHz oscillator divided by 256).
With these clocks, fast_rtc_clk and slow_rtc_clk is derived. By default, fast_rtc_clk is CK8M_OUT while
slow_rtc_clk is SLOW_CK. For details, please see Figure 168.
Figure 168: RTC Low-Power Clocks
For the digital core, low_power_clk is switched among four sources. For details, please see Figure 169.

Figure 170: RTC States
The switch among power-gating states can be see in Figure 170. The actual power-control signals could also be
set by software as force-power-up (FPU) or force-power-down (FPD). Since the power domains can be
power-gated independently, there are many combinations for different applications. Table 131 shows how the
power domains in ESP32 are controlled.

Notes*:
1. The power-domain RTC core is the “always-on” power domain, and the FPU/FPD option is not
available.
2. The power-domain RTC peripherals include most of the fast logic in RTC, including the ULP co-processor,
sensor controllers, etc.
3. The power-domain RTC slow memory should be forced to power on when it is used as retention memory, or
when the ULP co-processor is working.
4. The power-domain RTC fast memory should be forced to power on, when it is used as retention
memory.
5. When the power-domain digital core is powered down, all included in power domains are powered

6. The power-domain Wi-Fi includes the Wi-Fi MAC and BB.
7. Each internal SRAM can be power-gated independently.
30.3.9 Predefined Power Modes
In ESP32, we recommend that you always use the predefined power modes first, before trying to tune each
power control signal. The predefined power modes should cover most scenarios:
• Active mode
– The CPU is clocked at XTAL_DIV_N (40 MHz/26 MHz) or PLL (80 MHz/160 MHz/240 MHz).
– The chip can receive, transmit, or listen.
• Modem-sleep mode
– The CPU is operational and the clock is configurable.
– The Wi-Fi/Bluetooth baseband is clock-gated or powered down. The radio is turned off.
– Current consumption: ∼30 mA with 80 MHz PLL.
– Current consumption: ∼3 mA with 2 MHz XTAL.
– Immediate wake-up.
• Light-sleep mode
– The internal 8 MHz oscillator, 40 MHz high-speed crystal, PLL, and radio are disabled.
– The clock in the digital core is gated. The CPUs are stalled.
– The ULP co-processor and touch controller can be periodically triggered by monitor sensors.
– Current consumption: ∼ 800 µA.
– Wake-up latency: less than 1 ms.
• Deep-sleep mode
– The internal 8 MHz oscillator, 40 MHz high-speed crystal, PLL and radio are disabled.
– The digital core is powered down. The CPU context is lost.
– The supply voltage to the RTC core drops to 0.7V.
– 8 x 32 bits of data are kept in general-purpose retention registers.
– The RTC memory and fast RTC memory can be retained.
– Current consumption: ∼ 6.5 µA.
– Wake-up latency: less than 1 ms.
– Recommended for ultra-low-power infrequently-connected Wi-Fi/Bluetooth applications.
• Hibernatation mode
– The internal 8 MHz oscillator, 40 MHz high-speed crystal, PLL, and radio are disabled.
– The digital core is powered down. The CPU context is lost.
– The RTC peripheral domain is powered down.
Espressif Systems

ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
30. LOW-POWER MANAGEMENT
– The supply voltage to the RTC core drops to 0.7V.
– 8 x 32 bits of data are kept in general-purpose retention registers.
– The RTC memory and fast RTC memory are powered down.
– Current consumption: ∼ 4.5 µA.
– Wake-up source: RTC timer only.
– Wake-up latency: less than 1 ms.
– Recommended for ultra-low-power infrequently-connected Wi-Fi/Bluetooth applications.
Figure 171: Power Modes
By default, the ESP32 is in active mode after a system reset.There are several low-power modes for saving
power when the CPU does not need to be kept running, for example, when waiting for an external event. It is up
to the user to select the mode that best balances power consumption, wake-up latency and available wake-up
sources. For details, please see Figure 171.
Please note that the predefined power mode could be further optimized and adapted to any application.
30.3.10
Wakeup Source
The ESP32 supports various wake-up sources, which could wake up the CPU in different sleep modes. The
wake-up source is determined by RTC_CNTL_WAKEUP_ENA, as shown in Table 132.

Notes*:
1. EXT0 can only wake up the chip in light-sleep/deep-sleep mode. If RTC_CNTL_EXT_WAKEUP0_LV is 1, it is
pad high-level triggered; otherwise, it is low-level triggered. Users can set RTCIO_EXT_WAKEUP0_SEL[4:0] to
select one of the RTC PADs to be the wake-up source.
2. EXT1 is especially designed to wake up the chip from any sleep mode, and it also supports multiple pads’
combinations. First, RTC_CNTL_EXT_WAKEUP1_SEL[17:0] should be configured with the bitmap of PADS
selected as a wake-up source. Then, if RTC_CNTL_EXT_WAKEUP1_LV is 1, as long as one of the PADs is at
high-voltage level, it can trigger a wake-up. However, if RTC_CNTL_EXT_WAKEUP1_LV is 0, it needs all selected
PADs to be at low-voltage level to trigger a wake-up.
3. In Deep-sleep mode, only RTC GPIOs (not DIGITAL GPIOs) can work as wakeup source.
4. Wake-up is triggered by receiving any SDIO command.
5. To wake up the chip with a Wi-Fi or BT source, the power mode switches between the Active, Modem- and
Light-sleep modes. The CPU, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and radio are woken up at predetermined intervals to keep
Wi-Fi/BT connections active.
6. Wake-up is triggered when the number of RX pulses received is greater than the value stored in the threshold
register.
30.3.11
RTC Timer
The RTC timer is a 48-bit counter that can be read. The clock is RTC_SLOW_CLK. Any reset/sleep mode,
except for the power-up reset, will not stop or reset the RTC timer.
The RTC timer can be used to wake up the CPU at a designated time, and to wake up TOUCH or the ULP
co-processor periodically.
30.3.12
RTC Boot
Since the CPU, ROM and RAM are powered down during Deep-sleep and Hibernation mode, the wake-up time
is much longer than that in Light sleep/Modem sleep, because of the ROM unpacking and data-copying from the
flash (SPI booting). There are two types of SRAM in the RTC, named slow RTC memory and fast RTC memory,
which remain powered-on in Deep-sleep mode. For small-scale codes (less than 8 KB), there are two methods
of speeding up the wake-up time, i.e. avoiding ROM unpacking and SPI booting.
Espressif Systems
618
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual V2.9
30. LOW-POWER MANAGEMENT
The first method is to use the RTC slow memory:
1. Set register RTC_CNTL_PROCPU_STAT_VECTOR_SEL for PRO_CPU (or register
RTC_CNTL_APPCPU_STAT_VECTOR_SEL for APP_CPU) to 0.
2. Put the chip into sleep.
3. When the CPU is powered up, the reset vector starts from 0x50000000, instead of 0x40000400. ROM
unpacking & SPI boot are not needed. The code in RTC memory has to do itself some initialization for the
C program environment.
The second method is to use the fast RTC memory:
1. Set register RTC_CNTL_PROCPU_STAT_VECTOR_SEL for PRO_CPU (or register
RTC_CNTL_APPCPU_STAT_VECTOR_SEL for APP_CPU) to 1.
2. Calculate CRC for the fast RTC memory, and save the result in register
RTC_CNTL_RTC_STORE6_REG[31:0].
3. Input register RTC_CNTL_RTC_STORE7_REG[31:0] with the entry address in the fast RTC memory.
4. Put the chip into sleep.
5. When the CPU is powered up, after ROM unpacking and some necessary initialization, the CRC is
calculated again. If the result matches with register RTC_CNTL_RTC_STORE6_REG[31:0], the CPU will
jump to the entry address.
The boot flow is shown in Figure 172.
