1. Overview
ESP32-WROVER-B is a powerful, generic WiFi-BT-BLE MCU module that targets a wide variety of applications,
ranging from low-power sensor networks to the most demanding tasks, such as voice encoding, music streaming
and MP3 decoding.

This module is provided in two versions: one with a PCB antenna, the other with an IPEX antenna. ESP32-
WROVER-B features a 4 MB external SPI flash and an additional 8 MB SPI Pseudo static RAM (PSRAM). The
information in this datasheet is applicable to both modules.

The ordering information on the two variants of ESP32-WROVER-B is listed as follows:

Table 1: ESP32-WROVER-B Ordering Information

Module Chip embedded Flash PSRAM Module dimensions (mm)

ESP32-WROVER-B (PCB)
ESP32-D0WD 4 MB 1 8 MB (18.00±0.10)×(31.40±0.10)×(3.30±0.10)
ESP32-WROVER-B (IPEX)
Notes:
1. ESP32-WROVER-B (PCB/IPEX) with 8 MB flash or 16 MB flash is available for custom order.
2. For detailed ordering information, please see Espressif Product Ordering Information.
3. For dimensions of the IPEX connector, please see Chapter 10.

At the core of the module is the ESP32-D0WD chip*. The chip embedded is designed to be scalable and adaptive.
There are two CPU cores that can be individually controlled, and the CPU clock frequency is adjustable from 80
MHz to 240 MHz. The chip also has a low-power co-processor that can be used instead of the CPU to save
power while performing tasks that do not require much computing power, such as monitoring of peripherals.
ESP32 integrates a rich set of peripherals, ranging from capacitive touch sensors, Hall sensors, SD card interface,
Ethernet, high-speed SPI, UART, I²S and I²C.

Note:
* For details on the part numbers of the ESP32 family of chips, please refer to the document ESP32 Datasheet.

The integration of Bluetooth, Bluetooth LE and Wi-Fi ensures that a wide range of applications can be targeted,
and that the module is all-around: using Wi-Fi allows a large physical range and direct connection to the Internet
through a Wi-Fi router, while using Bluetooth allows the user to conveniently connect to the phone or broadcast
low energy beacons for its detection. The sleep current of the ESP32 chip is less than 5 µA, making it suitable
for battery powered and wearable electronics applications. The module supports a data rate of up to 150 Mbps,
and 20 dBm output power at the antenna to ensure the widest physical range. As such the module does offer
industry-leading specifications and the best performance for electronic integration, range, power consumption,
and connectivity.

The operating system chosen for ESP32 is freeRTOS with LwIP; TLS 1.2 with hardware acceleration is built in as
well. Secure (encrypted) over the air (OTA) upgrade is also supported, so that users can upgrade their products
even after their release, at minimum cost and effort.

Table 2 provides the specifications of ESP32-WROVER-B.

2.3 Strapping Pins

ESP32 has five strapping pins, which can be seen in Chapter 6 Schematics:

• MTDI

• GPIO0

• GPIO2

• MTDO

• GPIO5

Software can read the values of these five bits from register ”GPIO_STRAPPING”.

During the chip’s system reset release (power-on-reset, RTC watchdog reset and brownout reset), the latches
of the strapping pins sample the voltage level as strapping bits of ”0” or ”1”, and hold these bits until the chip
is powered down or shut down. The strapping bits configure the device’s boot mode, the operating voltage of
VDD_SDIO and other initial system settings.

Each strapping pin is connected to its internal pull-up/pull-down during the chip reset. Consequently, if a strapping
pin is unconnected or the connected external circuit is high-impedance, the internal weak pull-up/pull-down will
determine the default input level of the strapping pins.

To change the strapping bit values, users can apply the external pull-down/pull-up resistances, or use the host
MCU’s GPIOs to control the voltage level of these pins when powering on ESP32.

After reset release, the strapping pins work as normal-function pins.

Refer to Table 4 for a detailed boot-mode configuration by strapping pins.

Note:
• Firmware can configure register bits to change the settings of ”Voltage of Internal LDO (VDD_SDIO)” and ”Timing
of SDIO Slave” after booting.

• Internal pull-up resistor (R9) for MTDI is not populated in the module, as the flash and SRAM in ESP32-WROVER-B
only support a power voltage of 3.3 V (output by VDD_SDIO).

3. Functional Description

3. Functional Description
This chapter describes the modules and functions integrated in ESP32-WROVER-B.

3.1 CPU and Internal Memory

ESP32-D0WD contains two low-power Xtensa® 32-bit LX6 microprocessors. The internal memory includes:

• 448 KB of ROM for booting and core functions.

• 520 KB of on-chip SRAM for data and instructions.

• 8 KB of SRAM in RTC, which is called RTC FAST Memory and can be used for data storage; it is accessed
by the main CPU during RTC Boot from the Deep-sleep mode.

• 8 KB of SRAM in RTC, which is called RTC SLOW Memory and can be accessed by the co-processor during
the Deep-sleep mode.

• 1 Kbit of eFuse: 256 bits are used for the system (MAC address and chip configuration) and the remaining
768 bits are reserved for customer applications, including flash-encryption and chip-ID.

3.2 External Flash and SRAM

ESP32 supports multiple external QSPI flash and SRAM chips. More details can be found in Chapter SPI in the
ESP32 Technical Reference Manual. ESP32 also supports hardware encryption/decryption based on AES to pro-
tect developers’ programs and data in flash.

ESP32 can access the external QSPI flash and SRAM through high-speed caches.

• The external flash can be mapped into CPU instruction memory space and read-only memory space simul-
taneously.

– When external flash is mapped into CPU instruction memory space, up to 11 MB + 248 KB can be
mapped at a time. Note that if more than 3 MB + 248 KB are mapped, cache performance will be
reduced due to speculative reads by the CPU.

– When external flash is mapped into read-only data memory space, up to 4 MB can be mapped at a
time. 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit reads are supported.

• External SRAM can be mapped into CPU data memory space. Up to 4 MB can be mapped at a time. 8-bit,
16-bit and 32-bit reads and writes are supported.

ESP32-WROVER-B integrates a 4 MB SPI flash and an 8 MB PSRAM for more memory space.

3.3 Crystal Oscillators

The module uses a 40-MHz crystal oscillator.

Figure 4: Peripheral Schematics of ESP32-WROVER-B

Note:

• Soldering Pad 39 to the Ground of the base board is not necessary for a satisfactory thermal performance. If users
do want to solder it, they need to ensure that the correct quantity of soldering paste is applied.

• To ensure the power supply to the ESP32 chip during power-up, it is advised to add an RC delay circuit at the
EN pin. The recommended setting for the RC delay circuit is usually R = 10 kΩ and C = 0.1 µF. However, specific
parameters should be adjusted based on the power-up timing of the module and the power-up and reset sequence
timing of the chip. For ESP32’s power-up and reset sequence timing diagram, please refer to Section Power Scheme
in ESP32 Datasheet.

Note:
The discharge circuit can be applied in scenarios where ESP32 is powered on and off repeatedly by switching the
power rails, and there is a large capacitor on the VDD33 rail. For details, please refer to Section Power Scheme in

Note:
When battery is used as the power supply for ESP32 series of chips and modules, a supply voltage supervisor is recom-
mended to avoid boot failure due to low voltage. Users are recommended to pull CHIP_PU low if the power supply for
ESP32 is below 2.3 V.
