3 Functional Description
This chapter describes the functions integrated in ESP32.
3.1 CPU and Memory
3.1.1 CPU
ESP32 contains one or two low-power Xtensa
®
32-bit LX6 microprocessor(s) with the following features:
7-stage pipeline to support the clock frequency of up to 240 MHz (160 MHz for ESP32-S0WD,
ESP32-D2WD, and ESP32-U4WDH)
16/24-bit Instruction Set provides high code-density
Support for Floating Point Unit
Support for DSP instructions, such as a 32-bit multiplier, a 32-bit divider, and a 40-bit MAC
Support for 32 interrupt vectors from about 70 interrupt sources
The single-/dual-CPU interfaces include:
Xtensa RAM/ROM Interface for instructions and data
Xtensa Local Memory Interface for fast peripheral register access
External and internal interrupt sources
JTAG for debugging
3.1.2 Internal Memory
ESP32’s 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.
Embedded flash
Note:
Products in the ESP32 series differ from each other, in terms of their support for embedded flash and the size of it. For
details, please refer to Section 7 Part Number and Ordering Information.
