1. OVERVIEW

1. Overview
ESP32-WROVER 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.

At the core of this module is the ESP32-D0WDQ6 chip*, same as ESP-WROOM-32 module. Compared to ESP-
WROOM-32, ESP32-WROVER has an additional SPI Pseudo static RAM (PSRAM) of 32 Mbits. As such, ESP32-
WROVER features both 4 MB external SPI flash and 4 MB external PSRAM.

The ESP32-WROVER module has a PCB antenna, while the ESP32-WROVER-I uses an IPEX antenna. For diem-
snions of the IPEX connector, please see Chapter 9. The information in this datasheet is applicable to both of
the two modules.

The chip embedded is designed to be scalable and adaptive. There are two CPU cores that can be individually
controlled, and the clock frequency is adjustable from 80 MHz to 240 MHz. The user may also power off the CPU
and make use of the low-power co-processor to constantly monitor the peripherals for changes or crossing of
thresholds. 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 number of the ESP32 series, 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 future proof: 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. ESP32 supports a data rate of up to 150 Mbps,
and 20.5 dBm output power at the antenna to ensure the widest physical range. As such the chip 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 developers can continually upgrade
their products even after their release.

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 value of these five bits from the register ”GPIO_STRAPPING”.

During the chip’s system reset (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 boot mode, the operating voltage of VDD_SDIO and
other system initial settings.

Each strapping pin is connected with its internal pull-up/pull-down during the chip reset. Consequently, if a strap-
ping pin is unconnected or the connected external circuit is high-impendence, 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 apply the host
MCU’s GPIOs to control the voltage level of these pins when powering on ESP32.

After reset, the strapping pins work as the normal functions pins.

Refer to Table 3 for detailed boot modes’ 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.

• The MTDI is internally pulled high in the module, as the flash and SRAM in ESP32-WROVER only support a power
voltage of 1.8V (output by VDD_SDIO).

3. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

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

3.1 CPU and Internal Memory

ESP32-D0WDQ6 contains two low-power Xtensa® 32-bit LX6 microprocessors. The internal memory includes:

• 448 kB of ROM for booting and core functions.

• 520 kB (8 kB RTC FAST Memory included) of on-chip SRAM for data and instruction.

– 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, of which 320 bits are used for the system (MAC address and chip configuration) and the
remaining 704 bits are reserved for customer applications, including Flash-Encryption and Chip-ID.

3.2 External Flash and SRAM

ESP32 supports up to four 16-MB of external QSPI flash and SRAM with hardware encryption based on AES to
protect developers’ programs and data.

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

• Up to 16 MB of external flash are memory-mapped onto the CPU code space, supporting 8, 16 and 32-bit
access. Code execution is supported.

• Up to 8 MB of external flash/SRAM are memory-mapped onto the CPU data space, supporting 8, 16 and
32-bit access. Data-read is supported on the flash and SRAM. Data-write is supported on the SRAM.

ESP32-WROVER integrates 4 MB of external SPI flash. The 4-MB SPI flash can be memory-mapped onto the
CPU code space, supporting 8, 16 and 32-bit access. Code execution is supported.

In addition to the 4 MB SPI flash, ESP32-WROVER also integrates 4 MB PSRAM for more memory space.

3.3 Crystal Oscillators

The ESP32 Wi-Fi/BT firmware can only support 40 MHz crystal oscillator for now.

Espressif Systems 7 ESP32-WROVER Datasheet V1.5

3. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

3.4 RTC and Low-Power Management

With the use of advanced power management technologies, ESP32 can switch between different power modes.

• Power modes

– Active mode: The chip radio is powered on. The chip can receive, transmit, or listen.

– Modem-sleep mode: The CPU is operational and the clock is configurable. The Wi-Fi/Bluetooth base-
band and radio are disabled.

– Light-sleep mode: The CPU is paused. The RTC memory and RTC peripherals, as well as the ULP
co-processor are running. Any wake-up events (MAC, host, RTC timer, or external interrupts) will wake
up the chip.

– Deep-sleep mode: Only the RTC memory and RTC peripherals are powered on. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
connection data are stored in the RTC memory. The ULP co-processor can work.

– Hibernation mode: The internal 8-MHz oscillator and ULP co-processor are disabled. The RTC recovery
memory is powered down. Only one RTC timer on the slow clock and some RTC GPIOs are active.
The RTC timer or the RTC GPIOs can wake up the chip from the Hibernation mode.

The power consumption varies with different power modes/sleep patterns and work statuses of functional modules.
Please see Table 4 for details.

Table 4: Power Consumption by Power Modes

Power mode Description Power consumption

Wi-Fi TX packet 14 dBm ~ 19.5 dBm
Wi-Fi / BT TX packet 0 dBm Please refer to ESP32 Datasheet.
Active (RF working)
Wi-Fi / BT RX and listening
Association sleep pattern (by Light-sleep) 1 mA ~ 4 mA @DTIM3
Max speed 240 MHz: 30 mA ~ 50 mA
Modem-sleep The CPU is powered on. Normal speed 80 MHz: 20 mA ~ 25 mA
Slow speed 2 MHz: 2 mA ~ 4 mA
Light-sleep - 0.8 mA
The ULP co-processor is powered on. 150 µA
Deep-sleep ULP sensor-monitored pattern 100 µA @1% duty
RTC timer + RTC memory 10 µA
Hibernation RTC timer only 5 µA
Power off CHIP_PU is set to low level, the chip is powered off 0.1 µA

Note:
• When Wi-Fi is enabled, the chip switches between Active and Modem-sleep mode. Therefore, power consumption
changes accordingly.
• In Modem-sleep mode, the CPU frequency changes automatically. The frequency depends on the CPU load and
the peripherals used.
• During Deep-sleep, when the ULP co-processor is powered on, peripherals such as GPIO and I2C are able to
work.
• When the system works in the ULP sensor-monitored pattern, the ULP co-processor works with the ULP sensor
periodically; ADC works with a duty cycle of 1%, so the power consumption is 100 µA.

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.

• When ESP32 is powered on and off repeatedly by switching the power rails, and there is a large capacitor on
the VDD33 rail, a discharge circuit can be added to the VDD33 rail. Please find details in Chapter Peripheral
Schematics, in ESP-WROOM-32 Datasheet.

• When battery is used as the power supply for ESP32 series of chips and modules, a supply voltage supervisor
is recommended to avoid boot failure due to low voltage. Users are recommended to pull CHIP_PU low if the
power supply for ESP32 is below 2.3V. For the reset circuit, please refer to Figure ESP-WROOM-32 Peripheral
Schematics, in ESP-WROOM-32 Datasheet.
