ESP32 Hardware Design Guide

Introduction to ESP32

The ESP32 is a low-cost, low-power system-on-chip (SoC) microcontroller with integrated Wi-Fi and

dual-mode Bluetooth. It is widely used in IoT, embedded systems, and consumer electronics due to its

versatility and affordability.

Key Features:

- Dual-core Xtensa processor, running at 240 MHz

- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities

- GPIOs, ADC, DAC, UART, I2C, SPI, and PWM

- Low-power modes for energy-efficient applications

ESP32 Pinouts and Descriptions

The ESP32 has multiple GPIOs that support various functions:

- GPIO 1: UART TX

- GPIO 2: PWM, ADC, DAC

- GPIO 3: UART RX

- GPIO 4: I2C SDA, PWM

- GPIO 5: SPI, PWM

Refer to the ESP32 datasheet for a complete pinout and detailed descriptions.

Power Circuit Design

The ESP32 operates on a 3.3V supply. A stable power circuit is essential for reliable operation:
ESP32 Hardware Design Guide

- Use an LDO voltage regulator (e.g., AMS1117) to convert 5V to 3.3V.

- Add decoupling capacitors (e.g., 10 µF and 0.1 µF) near the power pins.

- Ensure proper heat dissipation if using high-current peripherals.

Example Project: Basic IoT Device

In this example, we'll build a basic IoT device using the ESP32, a DHT11 temperature sensor, and an OLED

display:

1. Connect the DHT11 data pin to GPIO 14.

2. Connect the OLED display to I2C pins (SCL: GPIO 22, SDA: GPIO 21).

3. Use a 3.3V supply for both components.

4. Write a simple script in Arduino IDE to read sensor data and display it on the screen.

This project demonstrates the ESP32's versatility and ease of integration with sensors and displays.
