1 Processor Instruction Extensions (PIE)

1.1 Overview
The ESP32-S3 adds a series of extended instruction set in order to improve the operation efficiency of specific AI
and DSP (Digital Signal Processing) algorithms. This instruction set is designed from the TIE (Tensilica Instruction
Extension) language, and adds general-purpose registers with large bit width, various special registers and
processor ports. Based on the SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) concept, this instruction set supports
8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit vector operations, which greatly increases data operation efficiency. In addition, the
arithmetic instructions, such as multiplication, shifting, and accumulation, can perform data operations and
transfer data at the same time, thus further increasing execution efficiency of a single instruction.

1.2 Features
The PIE (Processor Instruction Extensions) has the following features:

• 128-bit general-purpose registers

• 128-bit vector operations, e.g., multiplication, addition, subtraction, accumulation, shifting, comparison,
etc.

• Integration of data transfer into arithmetic instructions

• Support for non-aligned 128-bit vector data

• Support for saturation operation

1.3 Structure Overview

A structure overview should help to understand list of available instructions, instructions possibilities, and limits. It
is not intended to describe hardware details.

The internal structure of PIE for multiplication-accumulation (MAC) instructions overview could be described as
shown below:

Figure 1­1. PIE Internal Structure (MAC)

The diagram above shows the data flow paths and PIE components.

The PIE unit contains:

• Address unit that reads 8/16/32/64/128-bit aligned data

• Bank of eight 128-bit vector QR registers

• Arithmetic logic unit (ALU) with

– sixteen 8-bit multipliers

– eight 16-bit multipliers

• QACC_H/QACC_L - 2 160-bit accumulators

• ACCX - 40-bit accumulator

1.3.1 Bank of Vector Registers

Bank of vector registers contains 8 vector registers (QR). Each register could be represented as an array of 16 x
8-bit data words, array of 8 x 16-bit data words, or array of 4 x 32-bit data words. Depending on the used
instructions, 8, 16 or 32-bit data format will be chosen.

1.3.2 ALU
Arithmetic logic unit (ALU) could work for 8-bit input data, as 8-bit ALU, for 16-bit input data, as 16-bit ALU, or
for 32-bit input data, as 32-bit ALU. 8-bit multiplication ALU contains 16 multipliers and is able to make up to 16
multiplications and accumulation in one instruction. With multiplication almost any other combinations of
arithmetic operation are possible. For example, FFT instructions include multiplication, addition, and subtraction
operations in one instruction. Also, ALU includes logic operations like AND, OR, shift, and so on.
The input for ALU operation comes from QR registers. The result of operations could be saved to the QR
registers or special accumulator registers (ACCX, QACC).

1.3.3 QACC Accumulator Register

The QACC accumulator register is used for multiplication-accumulation operations on 8-bit or 16-bit data. In the
case of 8-bit data, QACC consists of 16 accumulator registers with 20-bit width. In the case of 16-bit data,
QACC consists of 8 accumulator registers with 40-bit width. The following description reflects the case of 8-bit
arithmetic. For 16-bit arithmetic, the logic is similar.
After multiplication and accumulation on two vector QR registers, the result of 16 operations will be written to 16
20-bit accumulator registers.
QACC is divided into two parts: 160-bit QACC_H and 160-bit QACC_L. The former stores the higher 160-bit
data of QACC, and the latter stores the lower 160-bit data. To store the accumulator result in QR registers, it is
possible to convert 20-bit result numbers to 8 bits by right-shifting it. For 16-bit multiplication-accumulation
operation, convert the 40-bit result to 16-bit by right-shifting it.
It is possible to load data from memory to QACC or reset the initial value to 0.

1.3.4 ACCX Accumulator Register

Some operations require accumulating the result of all multipliers to one value. In this case, the ACCX
accumulator should be used.
ACCX is a 40-bit accumulator register. The result of the accumulators could be shifted and stored in the memory
as an 8-bit or 16-bit value.
It is possible to load data from memory to ACCX or reset the initial value to 0.

1.3.5 Address Unit

Most of the instructions in PIE allow loading or storing data from/to 128-bit Q registers in parallel in one cycle. In
most cases, the data should be 128-bit aligned, and the lower 4 bits of address will be ignored. The Address unit
provides functionality to manipulate address registers in parallel, which saves the time to update address
registers.
It is possible to make address register operations like AR + signed constant, ARx + ARy, and AR + 16.
The Address unit makes post-processing operations. It means that all operations with address registers are done
after instructions are finished.

This section provides introduction to the encoding order of instructions and the meaning of characters that

1.4.1 Bit/Byte Order

The encoding order of instructions is divided into two types based on the granularity, i.e., bit order and byte order.
According to the located side of the least bit or byte, there are big-endian order and little-endian order. That is to
say, the most common encoding types for instructions are: little-endian bit order, big-endian bit order,
little-endian byte order and big-endian byte order.

• Little-endian bit order: the instruction is encoded in bit order, with the least significant bit on the right.

• Big-endian bit order: the instruction is encoded in bit order, with the least significant bit on the left.

• Little-endian byte order: the instruction is encoded in byte order, with the least significant byte on the right.

• Big-endian byte order: the instruction is encoded in byte order, with the least significant byte on the left.

Among them, the instruction encoding bit sequences obtained using little-endian byte order and little-endian bit
order are identical. Taking the 24-bit instruction EE.ZERO.QACC as an example, Figure 1-2, Figure 1-3, Figure
1-4 and Figure 1-5 show the code of this instruction in little-endian bit order, big-endian bit order, little-endian
byte order and big-endian byte order, respectively.

Please note that all instructions and register descriptions appear in this chapter use little-endian bit order, which
means the least significant bit is stored in the lowest addresses.

numbers after field names. For example, the EE.LDF.128.IP instruction has four fu registers, fu0 ~ 3. They are
used to store 128-bit data read from memory.

1.5 Components of Extended Instruction Set

1.5.1 Registers
This section introduces all kinds of registers related to ESP32-S3’s extended instruction set, including the original
registers defined by Xtensa as well as customized registers. For register information, please refer to Table
1-2.

The Xtensa processor has 64 internal AR registers. It is designed with the register windowing tech-
nique, so that the software can only access 16 of the 64 AR registers at any given time. The pro-
gramming performance can be effectively improved by rotating windows, replacing function calls,
and saving registers when exceptions are triggered.

1.5.1.1 General­Purpose Registers

When using general-purpose register as operands in instructions, you need to explicitly declare the number of the
assigned register. For example:

EE.V ADDS.S8 q2, q0, q1

This instruction uses No.0 and No.1 QR registers as input vectors and stores the vector addition result in the
No.2 QR register.

AR

Each AR register operand in the instruction will occupy a 4-bit code length. You can select any of the 16 AR
registers as operands, and the 4-bit code value indicates the number to declare. The row ”a*” in table 1-1 lists
various purposes of AR registers in the extended instruction set, including address storage and data
storage.

FR

Each FR register operand in the instruction will occupy a 4-bit code length. You can select any of the 16 FR
registers as operands, and the 4-bit code value indicates the number to declare. In ESP32-S3 extended
instruction set, there are only read and write instructions for floating-point data. They are 4 times more efficient
than the 32-bit floating-point data R/W instructions that are native to the Xtensa processor, thanks to the 128-bit
access bandwidth.

QR

In order to improve the execution efficiency of the program, operands are usually stored in general-purpose
registers to save time spent in reading from memory. The AR registers native to Xtensa only have 32-bit width,
while ESP32-S3 can access 128-bit data at a time, so they can only use 1/4 bandwidth capacity of the existing
data bus. For this reason, ESP32-S3 has added eight 128-bit customized general-purpose registers, i.e., QR
registers. QR registers are mainly used to store the data acquired/used by the 128-bit data bus to read or write
memory, as well as to temporarily store the operation results generated from 128-bit data operations.

As the processor executes instructions, an individual QR register is treated as 16 8-bit or 8 16-bit or 4 32-bit
operands depending on the vector operation bit width defined by the instruction, thus enabling a single
instruction to perform operations on multiple operands.

1.5.1.2 Special Registers

Different from general-purpose registers, special registers are implicitly called in specific instructions. You do not
need to and cannot specify a certain special register when executing instructions. For example:

EE.V M U L.S16 q2, q0, q1

This vector multiplication instruction uses q0 and q1 general-purpose registers as inputs. During the internal
operation, the intermediate 32-bit multiplication result is shifted to the right, and then the lower 16-bit of the result
is retained to form a 128-bit output to q2. The shift amount in the process is determined by the value in the Shift
Amount Register (SAR) and this SAR register will not appear in the instruction operand list.

Espressif Systems 43 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
1 Processor Instruction Extensions (PIE) GoBack

SAR

The Shift Amount Register (SAR) stores the shift value in bits. There are two types of instructions in ESP32-S3’s
extended instruction set that use SAR. One is the type of instructions to shift vector data, including EE.VSR.32
and EE.VSL.32. The former uses the lower 5 bits of SAR as the right-shift value, and the latter uses the lower 5
bits of SAR as the left-shift value. The other type is multiplication instructions, including EE.VMUL.*, EE.CMUL.*,
EE.FFT.AMS.* and EE.FFT.CMUL.*. This type of instructions uses the value in SAR as the value for the right shift
of the intermediate multiplication result, which determines the accuracy of the final result.

SAR_BYTE

The SAR_BYTE stores the shift value in bytes. This special register is designed to handle the non-aligned 128-bit
data (see Section 1.5.3). For vector arithmetic instructions, the data read or stored by extended instructions are
forced to be 16-byte aligned, but in practice, there is no guarantee that the data addresses used are always
16-byte aligned.

EE.LD.128.USAR.IP and EE.LD.128.USAR.XP instructions write the lower 4-bit values of the memory access
register that represent non-aligned data to SAR_BYTE while reading 128-bit data from memory.

There are two types of instruction in ESP32-S3’s extended instruction set that use SAR_BYTE. One is dedicated
to handling non-aligned data in QR registers, including EE.SRCQ.* and EE.SRC.Q*. This type of instruction will
read two 16-byte data from two aligned addresses, before and after the non-aligned address, put them together,
and then shift it by the byte size of SAR_BYTE to get a 128-bit data from the non-aligned address. The other
type of instruction handles non-aligned data while executing arithmetic operations, which usually has a suffix of
”.QUP”.

ACCX

Multiplier-accumulator. Instructions such as EE.VMULAS.*.ACCX* and EE.SRS.ACCX use this register during
operations. The former uses ACCX to accumulate all vector multiplication results of two QR registers, and the
latter right shifts the ACCX register.

QACC_H,QACC_L

Successive accumulators partitioned by segments. Instructions such as EE.VMULAS.*.QACC* and

EE.SRCMB.*.QACC use this type of registers during operations. These registers are mainly used to accumulate
vector multiplication results of two QR registers into the corresponding segments of QACC_H and QACC_L
respectively. The 16-bit vector multiplication results are accumulated into the corresponding 16 20-bit segments
respectively and the 32-bit results are accumulated into the corresponding 8 40-bit segement respectively.

FFT_BIT_WIDTH

This special register is dedicated to the EE.BITREV instruction. The value inside this register is used to indicate
the operating mode of EE.BITREV. Its range is 0 ~ 7, indicating 3-bit ~ 10-bit operating mode respectively. For
more details, please refer to instruction EE.BITREV.

UA_STATE

This special register is dedicated to the EE.FFT.AMS.S16.LD.INCP.UAUP instruction. This register is used to
store the non-aligned 128-bit data read from memory. Next time when this instruction is called, the data in this

1 Processor Instruction Extensions (PIE) GoBack

register is concatenated to the newly read non-aligned data and then the result is shifted to obtain the 128-bit
aligned data.

1.5.2 Fast GPIO Interface

ESP32-S3’s Xtensa processor adds two signal ports, i.e., GPIO_OUT and GPIO_IN. You can route signals from
the two ports to specified GPIO pins via the GPIO Matrix.

1.5.2.1 GPIO_OUT

An 8-bit processor output interface. Firstly, configure the 8-bit port signals to specified pins via GPIO Matrix. For
core0, their names are pro_alonegpio_out0~7. For core1, their names are core1_gpio_out0~7. Then you can set
certain bits of GPIO_OUT to 1 via instructions EE.WR_MASK_GPIO_OUT and EE.SET_BIT_GPIO_OUT, or set
certain bits to 0 via instruction EE.CLR_BIT_GPIO_OUT, so as to pull certain pins to high level or low level. Using
this method, you can get faster response than pulling pins through register configurations.

1.5.2.2 GPIO_IN

An 8-bit processor input interface. Firstly, configure the 8-bit port signals to specified pins via GPIO Matrix. For
core0, their names are pro_alonegpio_in0~7. For core1, their names are core1_gpio_in0~7. Then you can read
the eight GPIO pin levels and store them to the AR register through instruction EE.GET_GPIO_IN. Using this
method, you can get and handle the level changes on GPIO pins faster than reading registers to get pin level
status.

1.5.3 Data Format and Alignment

The current extended instruction set supports 1-byte, 2-byte, 4-byte, 8-byte and 16-byte data formats. Besides,
there is also a 20-byte format: QACC_H and QACC_L. However, there is no direct way to switch the data
between the two special registers and memory. You can read and write data of QACC_H and QACC_L via five
4-byte (AR) registers or two 16-byte (QR) registers.

The table 1-3 lists bit length and alignment information for common data format (’x’ indicates that the bit is either
0 and 1). The Xtensa processor uses byte as the smallest unit for addresses stored in memory in all data formats.
And little-endian byte order is used, with byte 0 stored in the lowest bit (the right side), as shown in Figure
1-4.

Table 1­3. Data Format and Alignment

Data Format Length Aligned Addresses in Memory

1-byte 8 bits xxxx
2-byte 16 bits xxx0
4-byte 32 bits xx00
8-byte 64 bits x000
16-byte 128 bit 0000

However, if data is stored in memory at a non-aligned address, direct access to this address may cause it being
split into two accesses, which in turn affects the performance of the code. For example, if you expect to read a
16-byte data from memory, as shown in Table 1-3, the data is stored in memory at 0000 when the data is

Espressif Systems 45 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
1 Processor Instruction Extensions (PIE) GoBack

aligned. But actually the data is not aligned, so the low nibble of its address may be any one between 0000 ~
1111 (binary). Assuming the lowest bit of its address is 0_0100, the processor will split the one-time access to
this data into two accesses, i.e., to 0_0000 and 1_0000 respectively. The processor then put together the
obtained two 16-byte data to get the required 16-byte data.

To avoid performance degradation caused by the above non-aligned access operations, all access addresses in
the extended instruction set are forced to be aligned, i.e., the lowest bits will be replaced by 0. For example, if a
read operation is initiated for 128-bit data at 0x3fc8_0024, the lowest 4-bit of this access address will be forced
to be set to 0. Eventually, the 128-bit data stored at 0x3fc8_0020 will be read. Similarly, the lowest 3-bit of the
access address for 64-bit data will be set to 0; the lowest 2-bit of the access address for 32-bit data will be set to
0; the lowest 1-bit of the access address for 16-bit data will be set to 0.

The above design requires aligned addresses of the access operations initiated. Otherwise, the data read will not
be what you expected. In application code, you need to explicitly declare the alignment of the variable or array in
memory. 16-byte alignment can meet the needs of most application scenarios.

The aligned(16) parameter declares that the variable is stored in a 16-byte aligned memory address. You can
also request a data space with its starting address 16-byte aligned via heap_caps_aligned_alloc.

Since the memory address of the data involved in some operations is uncertain in specific application scenarios,
this extended instruction set provides a special register SAR_BYTE and related instructions such as
EE.LD.128.USAR.* and EE.SRC.*, to handle non-aligned data.

Assume that the 128-bit non-aligned data address is stored in the general-purpose register a8. This 128-bit data
can be read into the specified QR register (q2 in the following example) by the following code:
EE.LD.128.U SAR.IP q0, a8, 16
EE.V LD.128.IP q1, a8, 16
EE.SRC.Q q2, q0, q1

1.5.4 Data Overflow and Saturation Handling

Data overflow means that the size of the operation result exceeds the maximum value that can be stored in the
result register. Take the EE.VMUL.S8 instruction as an example, the result of two 8-bit multipliers is 16-bit, and it
should still be 16-bit after right-shifting. However, the final result will be stored in the 8-bit register, which may
cause the risk of data overflow.

In the design of the ESP32-S3’s instruction extensions, there are two ways to handle data overflow, namely
taking saturation and truncating the least significant bit. The former controls the calculation result according the
range of values that can be stored in the result register. If the result exceeds the maximum value of the result
register, take the maximum value; if the result is smaller than the minimum value of the result register, take the
minimum value. This approach will be explicitly indicated in the instruction descriptions. For example, the
EE.VADDS.* instructions perform saturation to the results of addition operations. Regarding the data overflow
handling for more instructions of their internal calculation results, the wraparound approach is used, i.e., only the
lower bit of the result that is consistent with the bit width of the result register will be retained and stored in the
result register.

Please note that for instructions that do not mention saturation handling method, the wraparound approach will
be used.

1.6.1 Read Instructions

Read instructions tell the processor to issue a virtual address to access memory based on the AR register that
stores access address information. Most read instructions read memory first, and then update the access
address. EE.LDXQ.32 is a special case where the instruction first selects a piece of 16-bit data in the QR register
via an immediate value, adds it to the access address, and then issues the access operation.

Since access to non-aligned addresses will cause slower response, all virtual addresses issued by read
instructions in the extended instruction set are forced to be aligned according to data formats. Depending on the
size of the access data format, corresponding length of data will be returned by memory as 1-byte, 2-byte,
4-byte, 8-byte or 16-byte. When the data read after forced alignment is not as expected, the desired data can be
extracted from multiple QR registers using instructions such as EE.SRC.Q.

The table below briefly describes the access operations performed by read instructions. For detailed information
about read instructions, please see Section 1.8.

access addresses, except for the EE.STXQ.32 instruction, which selects a piece of 16-bit data first from the QR
register via an immediate value, adds it to the access address, and then issues the access operation.

Since access to non-aligned addresses will cause slower response, all virtual addresses issued by write
instructions in the extended instruction set are forced to be aligned according to data format. Depending on the
size of the access data format, corresponding length of data will be written to memory as 1-byte, 2-byte, 4-byte,
8-byte or 16-byte. When the data length to be written to memory is less than the access bit length, it is
necessary to perform zero extension or sign extension on this data.

1.6.4 Arithmetic Instructions

Arithmetic instructions mainly use the SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) principle for vector data operations,
including vector addition, vector multiplication, vector complex multiplication, vector multiplication accumulation,
vector and scalar multiplication accumulation, etc.

Vector Addition Instructions

ESP32-S3 provides vector addition and subtraction instructions for data in 1-byte, 2-byte and 4-byte
units.

Considering that the input and output operands required for vector operations are stored in memory, in order to
reduce extra operations as reading memory and to improve the speed of code execution, vector addition
instructions are designed to perform the addition and the 16-byte access at the same time, and the value in the
address register is increased by 16 after the access, thus directly pointing to the next continuous 16-byte
memory address. You can select the appropriate instruction according to the actual algorithm needs.

In addition, vector addition instructions also saturate the result of addition and subtraction to ensure the accuracy
of arithmetic operations.

Vector Multiplication Instructions

ESP32-S3 provides vector multiplication instructions for data in 1-byte and 2-byte units, and supports unsigned
and signed vector multiplication.

Considering that the input and output operands required for vector operations are stored in memory, in order to
reduce extra operations as reading memory and improve the speed of code execution, vector multiplication
instructions are designed to perform the multiplication and access 16 bytes at the same time, and the access
address is increased by 16 after the access, thus directly pointing to the next 16-byte memory address. You can
select the appropriate instruction according to the actual algorithm needs.

Vector Complex Multiplication Instructions

ESP32-S3 provides vector complex multiplication instructions for data in 2-byte unit. The instruction operands
are executed as signed data.

Considering that the input and output operands required for vector operations are stored in memory, in order to
reduce extra operations as reading memory and improve the speed of code execution, vector complex
multiplication instructions are designed to perform the multiplication and access 16 bytes at the same time, and
the access address is increased by 16 after the access, thus directly pointing to the next 16-byte memory
address. You can select the appropriate instruction according to the actual algorithm needs.

Vector Multiplication Accumulation Instructions

ESP32-S3 provides two types of vector multiplication accumulation instructions: one is based on the ACCX
register, accumulating multiple vector multiplication results to a 40-bit ACCX register; and the other is based on
QACC_H and QACC_L registers, accumulating vector multiplication results to the corresponding bit segments of
QACC_H and QACC_L registers respectively. Both types of above-mentioned instructions support multiplication
accumulation on 1-byte and 2-byte segments.

In order to reduce extra operations as reading memory and improve the speed of code execution, vector
multiplication accumulation instructions are designed to perform the multiplication accumulation and access 16
bytes at the same time, and the access address is increased by the value in the AR register or by the immediate
value after the access.

In addition, instructions with the ”QUP” suffix in the vector multiplication accumulation instructions also support
extracting 16-byte aligned data from the unaligned address.

Vector and Scalar Multiplication Accumulation Instructions

based on QACC_H and QACC_L registers, except that one of the binocular operands is a vector and the other is
a scalar. It also contains instructions that can execute access operation while vector operations are

Other Instructions

This section contains instructions that perform arithmetic right-shifting on multiplication accumulation results in
QACC_H, QACC_L and ACCX. You can set the shifting value to obtain the multiplication accumulation results

In addition, it also contains vector multiplication instructions with enabling conditions.

1.6.5 Comparison Instructions

Vector comparison instructions compare data in the unit of 1 byte, 2 bytes, or 4 bytes, including the instructions
that take the larger/smaller one between the compared two values, that set all bits to 1 when the two values are
equal and set them to 0 when they are not equal, that set all bits to 1 when the former value is larger than the
latter and otherwise set them to 0, and that set all bits to 1 when the former value is smaller than the latter and
otherwise set them to 0.

Considering that the input and output operands required for vector operations are stored in memory, in order to
reduce extra operations as reading memory and improve the speed of code execution, access instructions to
16-byte addresses are performed at the same time as vector operations, and the access address is increased by
16 after the access, thus directly pointing to the next 16-byte memory address. You can select the appropriate
instruction according to the actual algorithm needs.

1.6.10 Processor Control Instructions

As illustrated in Section 1.5.1.2, there are various special registers inside the ESP32-S3 processor. In order to
facilitate the read and write of the values in such special registers, the following types of processor control
instructions are provided to realize the data transfer between the special registers and the AR registers.

RSR.*�Read Special register�

Can read the value from special registers that come with the processor to the AR register. “∗” stands for special
registers, which only include the SAR register.

WSR.*�Write Special register�

Can modify the value in special registers that come with the processor via the AR register. “∗” stands for special
registers, which only include the SAR register.

XSR.*�Exchange Special register�

Can exchange the values inside the AR register and special registers. “∗” stands for special registers, which only

Espressif Systems 59 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
1 Processor Instruction Extensions (PIE) GoBack

include the SAR register.

RUR.*�Read User­defined register�

Can read the value from user-defined special registers in the processor to the AR register. “∗” stands for special
registers, which include SAR_BYTE, ACCX, QACC_H, QACC_L, FFT_BIT_WIDTH and UA_STATE
registers.

WSR.*�Write User­defined register�

Can modify the value in user-defined special registers via the AR register. “∗” stands for special registers, which
include SAR_BYTE, ACCX, QACC_H, QACC_L, FFT_BIT_WIDTH and UA_STATE registers.
For special registers that exceed 32-bit width, the ”_n” suffix is used to distinguish the instructions that read or
write different 32-bit segments from the same special register. Taking reading data from the ACCX register as an
example, there are two RUR.* instructions, namely RUR.ACCX_0 and RUR.ACCX_1. The former reads the lower
32-bit data from the ACCX register and write it to the AR register; the latter read the left higher 8-bit data from the
ACCX register, perform zero extension and write the result to the AR register. Accordingly, QACC_H and
QACC_L registers realize data transfer via the five AR registers.

1.7 Instruction Performance

For processors designed based on a pipeline, it is ideal that CPU issues one instruction onto the pipeline per
processor cycle. The ESP32-S3 Xtensa processor adopts the 5-stage pipeline technology: I (instruction fetch), R
(decode), E (execute), M (memory access), and W (write back). Table 1-21 shows what the processor does at
each pipeline stage.
Table 1­21. Five­Stage Pipeline of Xtensa Processor

Pipeline Stage Number Operation

I - Align instructions (24-bit and 32-bit instructions supported)
Read the general-purpose registers AR and QR
R 0
Decode instructions, detect interlocks, and forward operands
For arithmetic instructions, the ALU (addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc.) works
E 1 For read memory instructions, generate virtual addresses for memory access
For branch jump instructions, select jump addresses
M 2 Issue read and write memory accesses
W 3 Write back to registers the calculated results and the data read from memory

The processor cannot issue an instruction to the pipeline until all the operands and hardware resources required
for the operation are ready. However, there are the following hazards in the actual program running process,
which can cause stopped pipeline and delayed implementation of instructions.

1.7.1 Data Hazard

When instruction A writes the result to register X (including explicit general-purpose registers and implicit special
registers), and instruction B needs to use the same register as an input operand, this case is referred to as that
instruction B depends on instruction A. If instruction A prepares the result to be written to register X at the end of
the SA pipeline stage, and instruction B reads the data in register X at the beginning of the SB pipeline stage,
then instruction A must be issued D=max(SA-SB+1, 0) cycles before instruction B.
If the processor fetches instruction B less than D cycles after instruction A, the processor delays issuing
instruction B until D cycles have passed. The act of a processor delaying an instruction because of pipeline
interactions is called an interlock.
Suppose the SA pipeline stage of instruction A is W and the SB pipeline stage of instruction B is E, instruction B
is issued to the pipeline D=max(2-1+1, 0)=2 cycles later than instruction A as shown in Figure 1-6.
When the output operand of an instruction is designed to be available at the end of a pipeline stage, it means that
the operation of the instruction is over. Usually, instructions that depend on this result data must wait until the
output operand is written to the corresponding register before retrieving it from the corresponding register. The
Xtensa processor supports the ”bypass” operation. It detects when the input operand of an instruction is
generated at which pipeline stage of the instruction and does not need to wait for the data to be written to the
register. It can directly forward the data from the pipeline stage where it is generated to the stage where it is
needed.

Figure 1­6. Interlock Caused by Instruction Operand Dependency

Data dependencies between instructions are determined by the dependencies between operands and the
pipeline stage at which reads and writes happen. Table 1-22 lists all operands of the ESP32-S3 extended
instructions, including implicit special register write (def) and read (use) pipeline stage information.

1.7.2 Hardware Resource Hazard

When multiple instructions call the same hardware resource at the same time, the processor allows only one of
the instructions to occupy the hardware resource, and the rest of them will be delayed. For example, there are
only eight 16-bit multipliers in the processor; instruction C requires eight of them in pipeline stage M, and
instruction D requires four of them in pipeline stage E. As shown in Figure 1-7, instruction C is issued in cycle
T+0, and instruction D is issued in cycle T+1, so four multipliers are applied to be occupied simultaneously in
cycle T+3; at this time, the processor will delay the issue of instruction D into the pipeline by one cycle to avoid
conflict with instruction C.

Figure 1­7. Hardware Resource Hazard

1.7.3 Control Hazard

Data and hardware resource hazards can be optimized by adjusting the code order, but the control hazard is
difficult to optimize. Program code usually has many conditional select statements that execute different code
depending on whether the condition is met or not. The compiler will process the above conditional statements
into branch and jump instructions: if the condition is satisfied, it will jump to the target address to execute the
corresponding code; if not, the subsequent instructions will be processed in order. When the conditions are met,
as shown in Figure 1-8, the processor will re-fetch the instruction from the new target address. At this time, the
instructions at the R and E stages on the pipeline will be removed, which means the pipeline remains stagnant for
2 cycles.

1.8 Extended Instruction Functional Description

Before reading this section, you are recommended to read the table 1-1, which introduces instruction field names
and their meanings in instruction encoding.

[N:M] is used to represent the field. It means the width of the field is (N-M+1), namely, both bits N and M are
included. For example, qa[2:0] has a total of 3 bits, which are bit0, bit1 and bit2, and qa[1] represents the value
of bit1.

This chapter describes all the instructions mentioned in Section 1.6 in alphabetical order by the instruction name.
Each instruction is encoded in little-endian bit order as shown in Figure 1-2.

Assembler Syntax
EE.BITREV qa, as
Description
This instruction swaps the bit order of data of different bit widths according to the value of special register
FFT_BIT_WIDTH. Then, it compares the data before and after the swap, takes the larger value, pads the higher
bits with 0 until it has 16 bits, and writes the result into the corresponding data segment of register qa. In the
following, Switchx is a function that represents the bit inversion of the x-bit. Switch5(0b10100) = 0b00101. Here
0b10100 means 5-bit binary data.

Description
This instruction performs a 16-bit signed complex multiplication. The range of the immediate number sel4 is 0 ~
7, which specifies the 32 bits in the two QR registers qx and qy for complex multiplication. The real and imaginary
parts of complex numbers are stored in the upper 16 bits and lower 16 bits of the 32 bits respectively. The
calculated real part and imaginary part results are stored in the corresponding 32 bits of register qz.
During the operation, the lower 4 bits of the access address in register as are forced to be 0, and then the
16-byte data is loaded from the memory to register qu. After the access, the value in register as is incremented
by 16.

Description
This instruction divides registers qx and qy into 8 data segments by 16 bits. Then, it performs a signed
multiply-accumulate operation on the 8 sets of segments respectively. The accumulated result is added to the
value in special register ACCX. Then, the sum obtained is saturated and then stored in ACCX.
During the operation, the lower 4 bits of the access address in register as are forced to be 0, and then the
16-byte data is loaded from the memory to register qu. After the access is completed, the value in register as is
incremented by the value in register ad.
At the same time, this instruction also obtains 16-byte unaligned data by concatenating and shifting consecutive
aligned data stored in the two registers qs0 and qs1 and stores it to qs0. The shift byte is stored in special
register SAR_BYTE.

Description
This instruction divides registers qx and qy into 16 data segments by 8 bits. Then, it performs a signed
multiply-accumulate operation on the 16 sets of segments respectively. The accumulated result is added to the
value in special register ACCX. Then, the sum obtained is saturated and then stored in ACCX.
During the operation, the lower 4 bits of the access address in register as are forced to be 0, and then the
16-byte data is loaded from the memory to register qu. After the access is completed, the value in register as is
incremented by 6-bit sign-extended constant in the instruction code segment left-shifted by 4.

Assembler Syntax
EE.VMULAS.S8.QACC.LD.XP.QUP qu, as, ad, qx, qy, qs0, qs1
Description
This instruction divides registers qx and qy into 16 data segments by 8 bits. Then, the signed multiplication result
of the 16 sets of segments is added to the corresponding 20-bit data segment in special registers QACC_H and
QACC_L respectively. The calculated result is saturated to a 20-bit signed number and then stored to the
corresponding 20-bit data segment in QACC_H and QACC_L.
During the operation, the lower 4 bits of the access address in register as are forced to be 0, and then the
16-byte data is loaded from the memory to register qu. After the access is completed, the value in register as is
incremented by the value in register ad.
At the same time, this instruction also obtains 16-byte unaligned data by concatenating and shifting consecutive
aligned data stored in the two registers qs0 and qs1 and stores it to qs0. The shift byte is stored in special
register SAR_BYTE.

EE.VMULAS.U8.ACCX.LD.IP.QUP qu, as, imm16, qx, qy, qs0, qs1
Description
This instruction divides registers qx and qy into 16 data segments by 8 bits. Then, it performs an unsigned
multiply-accumulate operation on the 16 sets of segments respectively. The accumulated result is added to the
value in special register ACCX. Then, the sum obtained is saturated and then stored in ACCX.
During the operation, the lower 4 bits of the access address in register as are forced to be 0, and then the
16-byte data is loaded from the memory to register qu. After the access is completed, the value in register as is
incremented by 6-bit sign-extended constant in the instruction code segment left-shifted by 4.
At the same time, this instruction also obtains 16-byte unaligned data by concatenating and shifting consecutive
aligned data stored in the two registers qs0 and qs1 and stores it to qs0. The shift byte is stored in special
register SAR_BYTE.

Description
This instruction divides register qx into 8 data segments by 16 bits. If the value of the segment is not greater than
0, it will be multiplied by the value of the corresponding 16-bit segment in register qy right-shifted by the lower
6-bit value in register ay, and then the result obtained will be assigned to the corresponding 16-bit data segment
in register qz. Otherwise, the value of the segment in qx will be assigned to qz.

2 ULP Coprocessor (ULP­FSM, ULP­RISC­V)

2.1 Overview
The ULP coprocessor is an ultra-low-power processor that remains powered on when the chip is in Deep-sleep
(see Chapter 10 Low-power Management (RTC_CNTL)). Hence, users can store in RTC memory a program for
the ULP coprocessor to access RTC peripherals, internal sensors, and RTC registers during Deep-sleep.

In power-sensitive scenarios, the main CPU goes to sleep mode to lower power consumption. Meanwhile, the
coprocessor is woken up by ULP timer, and then monitors the external environment or interacts with the external
circuit by controlling peripherals such as RTC GPIO, RTC I2C, SAR ADC, or temperature sensor (TSENS). The
coprocessor wakes the main CPU up once a wakeup condition is reached.

Figure 2­1. ULP Coprocessor Overview

ESP32-S3 has two ULP coprocessors, with one based on RISC-V instruction set architecture (ULP-RISC-V) and
the other on finite state machine (ULP-FSM). Users can choose between the two coprocessors depending on
their needs.

2.2 Features
• Access up to 8 KB of SRAM RTC slow memory for instructions and data

• Clocked with 17.5 MHz RTC_FAST_CLK

• Support working in normal mode and in monitor mode

• Wake up the CPU or send an interrupt to the CPU

• Access peripherals, internal sensors and RTC registers

ULP-FSM and ULP-RISC-V can not be used simultaneously. Users can only choose one of them as the ULP
coprocessor of ESP32-S3. The differences between the two coprocessors are shown in the table below.

applications. Figure 2-2 shows the overall layout of ESP32-S3 coprocessor.

2.5.2).

Figure 2­3. Programming Workflow

2.4 ULP Coprocessor Sleep and Weakup Workflow

ULP coprocessor is designed to operate independently of the CPU, while the CPU is either in sleep or
running.

In a typical power-saving scenario, the chip goes to Deep-sleep mode to lower power consumption. Before
setting the chip to sleep mode, users should complete the following operations.

1. Flash the program to be executed by ULP coprocessor into RTC slow memory.

2. Select the working ULP coprocessor by configuring RTC_CNTL_COCPU_SEL.

• 0: select ULP-RISC-V

• 1: select ULP-FSM

3. If ULP-RISC-V is selected as working ULP coprocessor, please

• set and reset RTC_CNTL_COCPU_CLK_FO;

• set RTC_CNTL_COCPU_CLKGATE_EN.

4. Set sleep cycles for the timer by configuring RTC_CNTL_ULP_CP_TIMER_1_REG.

5. Enable the timer by software or by RTC GPIO;

• By software: set RTC_CNTL_ULP_CP_SLP_TIMER_EN.

• By RTC GPIO: set RTC_CNTL_ULP_CP_GPIO_WAKEUP_ENA. For more information, see Chapter 10

Low-power Management (RTC_CNTL).

6. Set the system into sleep mode.

Espressif Systems 298 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
2 ULP Coprocessor (ULP-FSM, ULP-RISC-V) GoBack

When the system is in Deep-sleep mode:

1. The timer periodically sets the low-power controller (see Chapter 10 Low-power Management (RTC_CNTL))
to Monitor mode and then wakes up the coprocessor.

2. Coprocessor executes some necessary operations, such as monitoring external environment via
low-power sensors.

3. After the operations are finished, the system goes back to Deep-sleep mode.

4. ULP coprocessor goes back to halt mode and waits for next wakeup.

In monitor mode, ULP coprocessor is woken up and goes to halt as shown in Figure 2-4.

Figure 2­4. ULP Sleep and Wakeup Sequence

1. Enable the timer and the timer starts counting.

2. The timer expires and wakes up the ULP coprocessor. ULP coprocessor starts running and executes the
program flashed in RTC slow memory.

3. ULP coprocessor goes to halt and the timer starts counting again.

• Put ULP-RISC-V into HALT: set RTC_CNTL_COCPU_DONE.

• Put ULP-FSM into HALT: execute HALT instruction.

4. Disable the timer by ULP program or by software. ULP coprocessor exits from monitor mode.

• Disabled by software: clear RTC_CNTL_ULP_CP_SLP_TIMER_EN.

• Disabled by RTC GPIO: clear RTC_CNTL_ULP_CP_GPIO_WAKEUP_ENA and set

RTC_CNTL_ULP_CP_GPIO_WAKEUP_CLR.

Note:

• If the timer is enabled by software (RTC GPIO), it should be disabled by software (RTC GPIO).

• Before setting ULP-RISC-V to HALT, users should configure RTC_CNTL_COCPU_DONE first, therefore, it
is recommended to end the flashed program with the following pattern:

– Set RTC_CNTL_COCPU_DONE to end the operation of ULP-RISC-V and put it into halt;

– Set RTC_CNTL_COCPU_SHUT_RESET_EN to reset ULP-RISC-V.

Enough time is reserved for the ULP-RISC-V to complete the operations above before it goes to halt.

Figure 2-5 shows the relationship between the signals and register bits.

2.5 ULP­FSM
2.5.1 Features
ULP-FSM is a programmable finite state machine that can work while the main CPU is in Deep-sleep. ULP-FSM
supports instructions for complex logic and arithmetic operations, and also provides dedicated instructions for
RTC controllers or peripherals. ULP-FSM can access up to 8 KB of SRAM RTC slow memory (accessible by the
CPU) for instructions and data. Hence, such memory is usually used to store instructions and share data
between the ULP coprocessor and the CPU. ULP-FSM can be stopped by running HALT instruction.

ULP-FSM has the following features.

• Provides four 16-bit general-purpose registers (R0, R1, R2, and R3) for manipulating data and accessing
memory.

• Provides one 8-bit stage count register (Stage_cnt) which can be manipulated by ALU and used in JUMP
instructions.

• Supports built-in instructions specially for direct control of low-power peripherals, such as SAR ADC and
temperature sensor.

2.5.2 Instruction Set

ULP-FSM supports the following instructions.

• ALU: perform arithmetic and logic operations

• LD, ST, REG_RD and REG_WR: load and store data

• JUMP: jump to a certain address

Espressif Systems 300 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

An instruction, which has one OpCode, can perform various operations, depending on the setting of Operands
bits. A good example is the ALU instruction, which is able to perform 10 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
coprocessor. The execution flow inside the program uses 32-bit addressing. The program is stored in a
dedicated region called Slow Memory, which is visible to the main CPU under an address range of 0x5000_0000
to 0x5000_1FFF (8 KB).

2.5.2.1 ALU ­ Perform Arithmetic and Logic Operations

ALU (Arithmetic and Logic Unit) performs arithmetic and logic operations on values stored in ULP coprocessor
registers, and on immediate values stored in the instruction itself. The following operations are supported.

• Arithmetic: ADD and SUB

• Logic: bitwise logical AND and bitwise logical OR

• Bit shifting: LSH and RSH

• Moving data to register: MOVE

• PC register operations - STAGE_RST, STAGE_INC, and STAGE_DEC

The ALU instruction, which has one OpCode (7), can perform various arithmetic and logic operations, depending
on the setting of the instruction bits [27:21].

Note: This instruction is mainly used with JUMPS instruction based on the stage count register to form a stage
count for-loop. For the usage, please refer to the following pseudocode:

STAGE_RST // clear stage count register

STAGE_INC // stage count register ++
{...} // loop body, containing n instructions
JUMPS (step = n, cond = 0, threshold = m) // If the value of stage count register is less than m, then jump to
STAGE_INC, otherwise jump out of the loop. By such way, a cumulative for-loop with threshold m is implemented.

Addr Peripheral register address, in 32-bit words
Low Register start bit number
High Register end bit number
Description

The instruction reads up to 16 bits from a peripheral register into a general-purpose register:

R0 = REG[Addr][High:Low]
In case of more than 16 bits being requested, i.e. High - Low + 1 > 16, then the instruction will return
[Low+15:Low].

Note:

• This instruction can access registers in RTC_CNTL, RTC_IO, SENS, and RTC_I2C peripherals. Address of
the register, as seen from the ULP coprocessor (addr_ulp), can be calculated from the address of the same
register on the main bus (addr_bus), as follows:

addr_ulp = (addr_bus - DR_REG_RTCCNTL_BASE)/4

• 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 CPU). Thus, 10 bits of address cover a 4096-byte
range of peripheral register space, including regions DR_REG_RTCCNTL_BASE (0x6000800),
DR_REG_RTCIO_BASE (0x60008400), DR_REG_SENS_BASE (0x60008800), and
DR_REG_RTC_I2C_BASE (0x60008C00). For more information about address mapping, see Section 2.8.

2.6.3 ULP­RISC­V Interrupts

2.6.3.1 Introduction

The interrupt controller of ULP-RISC-V is implemented by using a customized instruction set, instead of RISC-V
Privileged ISA specification, aiming to reduce the size of ULP-RISC-V.

2.6.3.2 Interrupt Controller

ULP-RISC-V has 32 interrupt sources, but only four of them are available in the real design, as shown in the table
below, including:

• internal sources: INT 0 ~ INT 2, triggered by internal interrupt events.

• external source: INT 31, triggered by the peripheral interrupts of ESP32-S3.

Type IRQ Triggered by

Internal 0 Internal timer interrupt
Internal 1 EBREAK/ECALL or Illegal Instruction
Internal 2 BUS Error (Unaligned Memory Access)
External 31 RTC peripheral interrupts

Table 2­9. ULP­RISC­V Interrupt Sources

Note:

If illegal instruction interrupt or bus error interrupt is disabled, ULP-RISC-V goes to HALT when the two errors
occur.

ULP-RISC-V provides four 32-bit interrupt registers, Q0 ~ Q3, to handle interrupt service routine (ISR). Table 2-10
shows the function of each register.

Espressif Systems 313 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
2 ULP Coprocessor (ULP-FSM, ULP-RISC-V) GoBack

Register Function
Store the returned address. If the interrupt instruction is a
Q0
compressed one, the lowest bit of this register will be set.
Bitmap. If the corresponding bit of an interrupt is set, this
Q1
interrupt will trigger its ISR.
Q2 Reserved. An option for ISR to store data.
Q3 Reserved. An option for ISR to store data.

Table 2­10. ULP­RISC­V Interrupt Registers

Note:

• If more than one bits in Q1 are set, all the corresponding interrupts will call the same ISR. For such reason,
users need to program ISR to check the interrupt number and execute corresponding program.

• After ULP-RISC-V is reset, all the interrupts are disabled.

2.6.3.3 Interrupt Instructions

All these interrupt instructions are standard R-type instructions, with the same OpCode of custom0 (0001011).

Table 2­11. ULP­RISC­V Interrupt List

Note:

• Besides the above-mentioned interrupts, ULP-RISC-V can also handle the interrupt from RTC_IO by simply
configuring RTC_IO as input mode. Users can configure RTCIO_GPIO_PINn_INT_TYPE to select the
interrupt trigger modes, but only level trigger modes are available. For more details about RTC_IO
configuration, see Chapter 6 IO MUX and GPIO Matrix (GPIO, IO MUX).

• The interrupt from RTC_IO can be cleared by releasing RTC_IO and its source can be read from the register
RTCIO_RTC_GPIO_STATUS_REG.

• The SW_INT interrupt is generated by configuring the register RTC_CNTL_COCPU_SW_INT_TRIGGER.

• For the information about RTC I2C interrupts, please refer to Section 2.7.4.

2.7 RTC I2C Controller

ULP coprocessor reads from or writes to external I2C slave devices via RTC I2C controller.

2.7.1 Connecting RTC I2C Signals

SDA and SCL signals can be mapped onto two out of the four GPIO pins, which are identified in Table RTC_MUX
Pad List in Chapter 6 IO MUX and GPIO Matrix (GPIO, IO MUX), using the register
RTCIO_SAR_I2C_IO_REG.

2 ULP Coprocessor (ULP-FSM, ULP-RISC-V) GoBack

2.7.2 Configuring RTC I2C

Before ULP coprocessor can communicate using I2C instruction, RTC I2C need to be configured. Configuration
is performed by writing certain timing parameters into the RTC I2C registers. This can be done by the program
running on the main CPU, or by the ULP coprocessor itself.

Note:
The timing parameters are configured in cycles of RTC_FAST_CLK running at 17.5 MHz.

1. Set the low and high SCL half-periods by configuring 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_REG = 40, RTC_I2C_
SCL_HIGH_PERIOD_REG = 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_REG = 16).

3. Set the waiting time after the START signal by using RTC_I2C_SCL_START_PERIOD_REG (e.g. RTC_I2C
_SCL_START_PERIOD = 30).

4. Set the waiting time before the END signal 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_TIME_OUT_REG (e.g. RTC_I2C_TIME_OUT_REG = 200).

6. Configure the RTC I2C controller into master mode by setting the bit RTC_I2C_MS_MODE in
RTC_I2C_CTRL
_REG.

7. Configure the address(es) of external slave(s):

• If ULP-RISC-V or main CPU is used, then write the slave address to SENS_SAR_I2C_CTRL_REG[9:0].

• If ULP-FSM is used, then write the slave address to SENS_I2C_SLAVE_ADDRn (n: 0-7)

Up to eight slave addresses can be pre-programmed. One of these addresses can then be selected for
each transaction as part of the RTC I2C instruction.

Once RTC I2C is configured, the main CPU or the ULP coprocessor can communicate with the external I2C
devices.

2.7.3 Using RTC I2C

2.7.3.1 Instruction Format

The format of RTC I2C instruction is consistent with that of I2C0/I2C1, see Section I2C CMD Controller in
Chapter 27 I2C Controller (I2C). The only difference is that RTC I2C provides fixed instructions for different
operations, as follows:

• Command 0 ~ Command 1: specifically for I2C write operation

• Command 2 ~ Command 6: specifically for I2C read operation

Note: All slave addresses are expressed in 7 bits.

2.7.3.2 I2C_RD ­ I2C Read Workflow

Preparation for RTC I2C read:

• Configure the instruction list of RTC I2C (see Section CMD_Controller in Chapter 27 I2C Controller (I2C)),
including instruction order, instruction code, read data number (byte_num), and other information.

• Configure the slave register address by setting the register SENS_SAR_I2C_CTRL[18:11].

• Start RTC I2C transmission by setting SENS_SAR_I2C_START_FORCE and SENS_SAR_I2C_START.

• When an RTC_I2C_RX_DATA_INT interrupt is received, transfer the read data stored in RTC_I2C_RDATA to
SRAM RTC slow memory, or use the data directly.

The I2C_RD instruction performs the following operations (see Figure 2-31):

1. Master generates a START signal.

2. Master sends slave address, with r/w bit set to 0 (“write”). Slave address is obtained from
SENS_I2C_SLAVE_ADDRn.

3. Slave generates ACK.

4. Master sends slave register address.

5. Slave generates ACK.

6. Master generates a repeated START (RSTART) signal.

7. Master sends slave address, with r/w bit set to 1 (“read”).

8. Slave sends one byte of data.

9. Master checks whether the number of transmitted bytes reaches the number set by the current instruction
(byte_num). If yes, master jumps out of the read instruction and sends an NACK signal. Otherwise master
repeats Step 8 and waits for the slave to send the next byte.

10. Master generates a STOP signal and stops reading.

than 0.38 ms, the master may receive incorrect data.

2.7.3.3 I2C_WR ­ I2C Write Workflow

Preparation for RTC I2C write:

• Configure RTC I2C instruction list, including instruction order, instruction code, and the data to be written in
byte (byte_num). See the configuration of I2C0/I2C1 in Section CMD_Controller in Chapter 27 I2C
Controller (I2C).

2 ULP Coprocessor (ULP-FSM, ULP-RISC-V) GoBack

• Configure the slave register address by setting the register SENS_SAR_I2C_CTRL[18:11], and the data to
be transmitted in SENS_SAR_I2C_CTRL[26:19].

• Set SENS_SAR_I2C_START_FORCE and SENS_SAR_I2C_START to start the transmission.

• Update the next data to be transmitted in SENS_SAR_I2C_CTRL[26:19], each time when an

RTC_I2C_TX_DATA_INT interrupt is received.

The I2C_WR instruction performs the following operations, see Figure 2-32.

1. Master generates a START signal.

2. Master sends slave address, with r/w bit set to 0 (“write”). Slave address is obtained from
SENS_I2C_SLAVE_ADDRn.

3. Slave generates ACK.

4. Master sends slave register address.

5. Slave generates ACK.

6. Master generates a repeated START (RSTART) signal.

7. Master sends slave address, with r/w bit set to 0 (“write”).

8. Master sends one byte of data.

9. Slave generates ACK. Master checks whether the number of transmitted bytes reaches the number set by
the current instruction (byte_num). If yes, master jumps out of the write instruction and starts the next
instruction. Otherwise the master repeats Step 8 and sends the next byte.

10. Master generates a STOP signal and stops the transmission.

2.7.3.4 Detecting Error Conditions

Applications can query specific bits in the RTC_I2C_INT_ST_REG register to check if the transaction is
successful. To enable checking for specific communication events, their corresponding bits should be set in
register RTC_I2C_INT_ENA_REG. Note that the bit map is shifted by 1. If a specific communication event is
detected and its corresponding bit in register RTC_I2C_INT_ST_REG is set, the event can then be cleared using
register RTC_I2C_INT_CLR_REG.

3 GDMA Controller (GDMA)

3.1 Overview
General Direct Memory Access (GDMA) is a feature that allows peripheral-to-memory, memory-to-peripheral, and
memory-to-memory data transfer at a high speed. The CPU is not involved in the GDMA transfer, and therefore it
becomes more efficient with less workload.

The GDMA controller in ESP32-S3 has ten independent channels, i.e. five transmit channels and five receive
channels. These ten channels are shared by peripherals with GDMA feature, namely SPI2, SPI3, UHCI0, I2S0,
I2S1, LCD/CAM, AES, SHA, ADC, and RMT. You can assign the ten channels to any of these peripherals. Every
channel supports access to internal RAM or external RAM.

The GDMA controller uses fixed-priority and round-robin channel arbitration schemes to manage peripherals’
needs for bandwidth.

Figure 3­1. Modules with GDMA Feature and GDMA Channels

3.2 Features
The GDMA controller has the following features:

• AHB bus architecture

• Programmable length of data to be transferred in bytes

• Linked list of descriptors

• INCR burst transfer when accessing internal RAM

• Access to an address space of 480 KB at most in internal RAM

• Access to an address spacee of 32 MB at most in external RAM

3 GDMA Controller (GDMA) GoBack

• Five transmit channels and five receive channels

• Access to internal and external RAM supported by every channel

• Software-configurable selection of peripheral requesting its service supported by every channel

• Fixed channel priority and round-robin channel arbitration

3.3 Architecture
In ESP32-S3, all modules that need high-speed data transfer support GDMA. The GDMA controller and CPU
data bus have access to the same address space in internal and external RAM. Figure 3-2 shows the basic
architecture of the GDMA engine.

Figure 3­2. GDMA Engine Architecture

The GDMA controller has ten independent channels, i.e. five transmit channels and five receive channels. Every
channel can be connected to different peripherals. In other words, channels are general-purpose, shared by
peripherals.

The GDMA engine has two independent AHB bus referred to as AHB_BUS1 and AHB_BUS2 respectively.
AHB_BUS1 is used to read data from or write data to internal RAM, whereas AHB_BUS2 is used to read data
from or write data to external RAM. For available address range of RAM, please see Chapter 4 System and
Memory.

Software can use the GDMA engine through linked lists. These linked lists, stored in internal RAM, consist of
outlinkn and inlinkn, where n indicates the channel number (ranging from 0 to 4). The GDMA controller reads an
outlinkn (i.e. a linked list of transmit descriptors) from internal RAM and transmits data in corresponding RAM
according to the outlinkn, or reads an inlinkn (i.e. a linked list of receive descriptors) and stores received data into
specific address space in RAM according to the inlinkn.

3.4 Functional Description

3.4.1 Linked List

Figure 3­3. Structure of a Linked List

Figure 3-3 shows the structure of a linked list. An outlink and an inlink have the same structure. A linked list is
formed by one or more descriptors, and each descriptor consists of three words. Linked lists should be in
internal RAM for the GDMA engine to be able to use them. The meaning of each field is as follows:

• Owner (DW0) [31]: Specifies who is allowed to access the buffer that this descriptor points to.
1’b0: CPU can access the buffer;
1’b1: The GDMA controller can access the buffer.
When the GDMA controller stops using the buffer, this bit in a transmit descriptor is automatically cleared by
hardware, and this bit in a receive descriptor is automatically cleared by hardware only if
GDMA_OUT_AUTO_WRBACK_CHn is set to 1. When software loads a linked list, this bit should be set to
1.
Note: GDMA_OUT is the prefix of transmit channel registers, and GDMA_IN is the prefix of receive channel
registers.

• suc_eof (DW0) [30]: Specifies whether this descriptor is the last descriptor in the list.
1’b0: This descriptor is not the last one;
1’b1: This descriptor is the last one.
Software clears suc_eof bit in receive descriptors. When a frame or packet has been received, this bit in
the last receive descriptor is set by hardware, and this bit in the last transmit descriptor is set by software.

• Reserved (DW0) [29]: Reserved. Value of this bit does not matter.

• err_eof (DW0) [28]: Specifies whether the received data have errors.
This bit is used only when UHCI0 uses GDMA to receive data. When an error is detected in the received
frame or packet, this bit in the receive descriptor is set to 1 by hardware.

• Reserved (DW0) [27:24]: Reserved.

• Length (DW0) [23:12]: Specifies the number of valid bytes in the buffer that this descriptor points to. This
field in a transmit descriptor is written by software and indicates how many bytes can be read from the
buffer; this field in a receive descriptor is written by hardware automatically and indicates how many valid
bytes have been stored into the buffer.

• Size (DW0) [11:0]: Specifies the size of the buffer that this descriptor points to.

Espressif Systems 347 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
3 GDMA Controller (GDMA) GoBack

• Buffer address pointer (DW1): Address of the buffer.

• Next descriptor address (DW2): Address of the next descriptor. If the current descriptor is the last one
(suc_eof = 1), this value is 0. This field can only point to internal RAM.

If the length of data received is smaller than the size of the buffer, the GDMA controller will not use available
space of the buffer in the next transaction.

3.4.2 Peripheral­to­Memory and Memory­to­Peripheral Data Transfer

The GDMA controller can transfer data from memory to peripheral (transmit) and from peripheral to memory
(receive). A transmit channel transfers data in the specified memory location to a peripheral’s transmitter via an
outlinkn, whereas a receive channel transfers data received by a peripheral to the specified memory location via
an inlinkn.

Every transmit and receive channel can be connected to any peripheral with GDMA feature. Table 3-1 illustrates
how to select the peripheral to be connected via registers. When a channel is connected to a peripheral, the rest
channels can not be connected to that peripheral. All transmit and receive channels support access to internal
and external RAM. For details, please refer to Section 3.4.8 and Section 3.4.9.

Table 3­1. Selecting Peripherals via Register Configuration

GDMA_PERI_IN_SEL_CHn
Peripheral
GDMA_PERI_OUT_SEL_CHn
0 SPI2
1 SPI3
2 UHCI0
3 I2S0
4 I2S1
5 LCD/CAM
6 AES
7 SHA
8 ADC
9 RMT

3.4.3 Memory­to­Memory Data Transfer

The GDMA controller also allows memory-to-memory data transfer. Such data transfer can be enabled by setting
GDMA_MEM_TRANS_EN_CHn, which connects the output of transmit channel n to the input of receive channel
n. Note that a transmit channel is only connected to the receive channel with the same number (n).

As every transmit and receive channel can be used to access internal and external RAM, there are four data
transfer modes:

• from internal RAM to internal RAM

• from internal RAM to external RAM

• from external RAM to internal RAM

• from external RAM to external RAM

3.4.4 Channel Buffer

Every transmit and receive channel contains FIFOs at three levels, i.e. L1FIFO, L2FIFO, and L3FIFO. As Figure
3-4 shows, L1FIFO is close to the memory, L3FIFO is close to peripherals, and L2FIFO falls in between L1FIFO
and L3FIFO. L1FIFO, L2FIFO and L3FIFO have fixed depth: 24, 128, and 16 bytes, respectively.

Figure 3­4. Channel Buffer

3.4.5 Enabling GDMA

Software uses the GDMA controller through linked lists. When the GDMA controller receives data, software loads
an inlink, configures GDMA_INLINK_ADDR_CHn field with address of the first receive descriptor, and sets
GDMA_INLINK_START_CHn bit to enable GDMA. When the GDMA controller transmits data, software loads an
outlink, prepares data to be transmitted, configures GDMA_OUTLINK_ADDR_CHn field with address of the first
transmit descriptor, and sets GDMA_OUTLINK_START_CHn bit to enable GDMA. GDMA_INLINK_START_CHn
bit and GDMA_OUTLINK_START_CHn bit are cleared automatically by hardware.

In some cases, you may want to append more descriptors to a DMA transfer that is already started. Naively, it
would seem to be possible to do this by clearing the EOF bit of the final descriptor in the existing list and setting
its next descriptor address pointer field (DW2) to the first descriptor of the to-be-added list. However, this
strategy fails if the existing DMA transfer is almost or entirely finished. Instead, the GDMA engine has specialized
logic to make sure a DMA transfer can be continued or restarted: if it is still ongoing, it will make sure to take the
appended descriptors into account; if the transfer has already finished, it will restart with the new descriptors.
This is implemented in the Restart function.

When using the Restart function, software needs to rewrite the address of the first descriptor in the new list to
DW2 of the last descriptor in the loaded list, and set GDMA_INLINK_RESTART_CHn bit or
GDMA_OUTLINK_RESTART_CHn bit (these two bits are cleared automatically by hardware). As shown in Figure
3-5, by doing so hardware can obtain the address of the first descriptor in the new list when reading the last
descriptor in the loaded list, and then read the new list.

Figure 3­5. Relationship among Linked Lists

3.4.6 Linked List Reading Process

Once configured and enabled by software, the GDMA controller starts to read the linked list from internal RAM.
The GDMA performs checks on descriptors in the linked list. Only if the descriptors pass the checks, will the
corresponding GDMA channel transfer data. If the descriptors fail any of the checks, hardware will trigger
descriptor error interrupt (either GDMA_IN_DSCR_ERR_CHn_INT or GDMA_OUT_DSCR_ERR_CHn_INT), and
the channel will halt.

The checks performed on descriptors are:

• Owner bit check when GDMA_IN_CHECK_OWNER_CHn or GDMA_OUT_CHECK_OWNER_CHn is set to

1. If the owner bit is 0, the buffer is accessed by the CPU. In this case, the owner bit fails the check. The
owner bit will not be checked if GDMA_IN_CHECK_OWNER_CHn or GDMA_OUT_CHECK_OWNER_CHn
is 0;

• Buffer address pointer (DW1) check. If the buffer address pointer points to 0x3FC88000 ~ 0x3FCFFFFF or
0x3C000000 ~ 0x3DFFFFFF (please refer to Section 3.4.8), it passes the check.

After software detects a descriptor error interrupt, it must reset the corresponding channel, and enable GDMA by
setting GDMA_OUTLINK_START_CHn or GDMA_INLINK_START_CHn bit.

Note: The third word (DW2) in a descriptor can only point to a location in internal RAM, given that the third word
points to the next descriptor to use and that all descriptors must be in internal memory.

3.4.7 EOF
The GDMA controller uses EOF (end of frame) flags to indicate the end of data frame or packet
transmission.

Before the GDMA controller transmits data, GDMA_OUT_TOTAL_EOF_CHn_INT_ENA bit should be set to enable
GDMA_OUT_TOTAL_EOF_CHn_INT interrupt. If data in the buffer pointed by the last descriptor (with EOF) have
been transmitted, a GDMA_OUT_TOTAL_EOF_CHn_INT interrupt is generated.

Before the GDMA controller receives data, GDMA_IN_SUC_EOF_CHn_INT_ENA bit should be set to enable
GDMA_IN_SUC_EOF_CHn_INT interrupt. If a data frame or packet has been received successfully, a
GDMA_IN_SUC_EOF_CHn_INT interrupt is generated. In addition, when GDMA channel is connected to UHCI0,
the GDMA controller also supports GDMA_IN_ERR_CHn_EOF_INT interrupt. This interrupt is enabled by setting
GDMA_IN_ERR_EOF_CHn_INT_ENA bit, and it indicates that a data frame or packet has been received with
errors.

Submit Documentation Feedback
3 GDMA Controller (GDMA) GoBack

When detecting a GDMA_OUT_TOTAL_EOF_CHn_INT or a GDMA_IN_SUC_EOF_CHn_INT interrupt, software

can record the value of GDMA_OUT_EOF_DES_ADDR_CHn or GDMA_IN_SUC_EOF_DES_ADDR_CHn field, i.e.
address of the last descriptor. Therefore, software can tell which descriptors have been used and reclaim
them.

Note: In this chapter, EOF of transmit descriptors refers to suc_eof, while EOF of receive descriptors refers to
both suc_eof and err_eof.

3.4.8 Accessing Internal RAM

Any transmit and receive channels of GDMA can access 0x3FC88000 ~ 0x3FCFFFFF in internal RAM. To
improve data transfer efficiency, GDMA can send data in burst mode, which is disabled by default. This mode is
enabled for receive channels by setting GDMA_IN_DATA_BURST_EN_CHn, and enabled for transmit channels
by setting GDMA_OUT_DATA_BURST_EN_CHn.

Table 3­2. Descriptor Field Alignment Requirements for Accessing Internal RAM

Inlink/Outlink Burst Mode Size Length Buffer Address Pointer

0 — — —
Inlink
1 Word-aligned — Word-aligned
0 — — —
Outlink
1 — — —

Table 3-2 lists the requirements for descriptor field alignment when GDMA accesses internal RAM.

When burst mode is disabled, size, length, and buffer address pointer in both transmit and receive descriptors do
not need to be word-aligned. That is to say, GDMA can read data of specified length (1 ~ 4095 bytes) from any
start addresses in the accessible address range, or write received data of the specified length (1 ~ 4095 bytes) to
any contiguous addresses in the accessible address range.

When burst mode is enabled, size, length, and buffer address pointer in transmit descriptors are also not
necessarily word-aligned. However, size and buffer address pointer in receive descriptors except length should
be word-aligned.

3.4.9 Accessing External RAM

Any transmit and receive channels of GDMA can access 0x3C000000 ~ 0x3DFFFFFF in external RAM. GDMA
can send data only in burst mode. The number of data bytes to transfer in one burst is defined as block size.
Block size can be 16 bytes, 32 bytes or 64 bytes, configured via GDMA_IN_EXT_MEM_BK_SIZE_CHn for
transmit channels and GDMA_OUT_EXT_MEM_BK_SIZE_CHn for receive channels.

Table 3­3. Descriptor Field Alignment Requirements for Accessing External RAM

Inlink/Outlink Size Length Buffer Address Pointer

Inlink Block-aligned — Block-aligned
Outlink — — —

Table 3-3 lists the requirements for descriptor field alignment when GDMA accesses internal RAM. Size, length,
and buffer address pointer in transmit descriptors do not need to be aligned. However, size and buffer address
pointer in receive descriptors except length should be aligned with block size. Table 3-4 illustrates the value of

Espressif Systems 351 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
3 GDMA Controller (GDMA) GoBack

GDMA_IN_EXT_MEM_BK_SIZE_CHn or GDMA_OUT_EXT_MEM_BK_SIZE_CHn bit when fields in linked list

descriptors are 16-byte, 32-byte and 64-byte aligned respectively.

Table 3­4. Relationship Between Configuration Register, Block Size and Alignment

GDMA_IN_EXT_MEM_BK_SIZE_CHn or Block Size Alignment

GDMA_OUT_EXT_MEM_BK_SIZE_CHn
0 16 bytes 16-byte aligned
1 32 bytes 32-byte aligned
2 64 bytes 64-byte aligned

Note: For receive descriptors, if the data length received are not aligned with block size, GDMA will pad the data
received with 0 until they are aligned to initiate burst transfer. You can read the length field in receive descriptors
to obtain the length of valid data received.

3.4.10 External RAM Access Permissions

GDMA in ESP32-S3 has a permission control module for access to external RAM. As Figure 3-6 shows, the
permission control module divided the 32 MB external RAM into four areas through three configurable
boundaries, namely boundary 0, boundary 1, and boundary 2.

• Area 0: 0x3C000000 ~ boundary 0 (include 0x3C000000 but exclude boundary 0)

• Area 1: boundary 0 ~ boundary 1 (include boundary 0 but exclude boundary 1)

• Area 2: boundary 1 ~ boundary 2 (include boundary 1 but exclude boundary 2)

• Area 3: boundary 2 ~ 0x3DFFFFFF (include boundary 0)

Boundary 0, 1, and 2 are configured via PMS_EDMA_BOUNDARY_0, PMS_EDMA_BOUNDARY_1, and

PMS_EDMA_BOUNDARY_2, respectively. For details about these fields, please refer to Chapter 15 Permission
Control (PMS). The unit of these fields is 4 KB. For example, if PMS_EDMA_BOUNDARY_0 is 0x80, the address
of boundary 0 should be 0x3C000000 + 0x80 * 4 KB = 3c080000, in which 0x3C000000 is the starting address
of accessible external RAM.

Figure 3­6. Dividing External RAM into Areas

All peripherals with GDMA feature (i.e. SPI2, SPI3, UHCI0, I2S0, I2S1, LCD/CAM, AES, SHA, ADC, and RMT) do
not have access permissions for Area 0 and Area 3, but their permissions for Area 1 and Area 2 can be
independently managed. The permission control module contains registers to manage such access permissions
for Area 1 and Area 2. For example, the PMS_EDMA_PMS_SPI2_ATTR1 field configures SPI2’s permissions to

Espressif Systems 352 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
3 GDMA Controller (GDMA) GoBack

read and write Area 1. Specifically, when bit 0 of this field is 1, SPI2 is granted read permission; when bit 1 of this
field is 1, SPI2 is granted write permission. Likewise, the PMS_EDMA_PMS_SPI2_ATTR2 field configures SPI2’s
permissions to read and write Area 2.

Access violations are logged and can trigger the GDMA_ETXMEN_REJECT_INT interrupt. You can check the

3.4.11 Seamless Access to Internal and External RAM

In some application scenarios, a data frame or packet contains data from both internal RAM and external RAM.
To ensure real-time data processing, GDMA is designed in such a way that some descriptors in the linked list can
be used to access internal RAM, while the other descriptors in the same linked list can be used to access
external RAM. This design allows seamless access to internal and external RAM.

3.4.12 Arbitration
To ensure timely response to peripherals running at a high speed with low latency (such as SPI, LCD/CAM), the
GDMA controller implements a fixed-priority channel arbitration scheme. That is to say, each channel can be
assigned a priority from 0 ~ 9. The larger the number, the higher the priority, and the more timely the response.
When several channels are assigned the same priority, the GDMA controller adopts a round-robin arbitration
scheme.

Please note that the overall throughput of peripherals with GDMA feature cannot exceed the maximum
bandwidth of the GDMA, so that requests from low-priority peripherals can be responded to.

3.5 GDMA Interrupts

• GDMA_OUT_TOTAL_EOF_CHn_INT: Triggered when all data corresponding to a linked list (including
multiple descriptors) have been sent via transmit channel n.

• GDMA_IN_DSCR_EMPTY_CHn_INT: Triggered when the size of the buffer pointed by receive descriptors is
smaller than the length of data to be received via receive channel n.

• GDMA_OUT_DSCR_ERR_CHn_INT: Triggered when an error is detected in a transmit descriptor on

transmit channel n.

• GDMA_IN_DSCR_ERR_CHn_INT: Triggered when an error is detected in a receive descriptor on receive

channel n.

• GDMA_OUT_EOF_CHn_INT: Triggered when EOF in a transmit descriptor is 1 and data corresponding to

this descriptor have been sent via transmit channel n. If GDMA_OUT_EOF_MODE_CHn is 0, this interrupt
will be triggered when the last byte of data corresponding to this descriptor enters GDMA’s transmit
channel; if GDMA_OUT_EOF_MODE_CHn is 1, this interrupt is triggered when the last byte of data is taken
from GDMA’s transmit channel.

• GDMA_OUT_DONE_CHn_INT: Triggered when all data corresponding to a transmit descriptor have been
sent via transmit channel n.

• GDMA_IN_ERR_EOF_CHn_INT: Triggered when an error is detected in the data frame or packet received
via receive channel n. This interrupt is used only for UHCI0 peripheral (UART0 or UART1).

• GDMA_IN_SUC_EOF_CHn_INT: Triggered when a data frame or packet has been received via receive
channel n.

• GDMA_IN_DONE_CHn_INT: Triggered when all data corresponding to a receive descriptor have been
received via receive channel n.

3.6 Programming Procedures

3.6.1 Programming Procedures for GDMA’s Transmit Channel
To transmit data, GDMA’s transmit channel should be configured by software as follows:

1. Set GDMA_OUT_RST_CHn first to 1 and then to 0, to reset the state machine of GDMA’s transmit channel
and FIFO pointer;

2. Load an outlink, and configure GDMA_OUTLINK_ADDR_CHn with address of the first transmit descriptor;

3. Configure GDMA_PERI_OUT_SEL_CHn with the value corresponding to the peripheral to be connected, as

shown in Table 3-1;

4. Set GDMA_OUTLINK_START_CHn to enable GDMA’s transmit channel for data transfer;

5. Configure and enable the corresponding peripheral (SPI2, SPI3, UHCI0 (UART0, UART1, or UART2), I2S0,
I2S1, AES, SHA, and ADC). See details in individual chapters of these peripherals;

6. Wait for GDMA_OUT_EOF_CHn_INT interrupt, which indicates the completion of data transfer.

3.6.2 Programming Procedures for GDMA’s Receive Channel

To receive data, GDMA’s receive channel should be configured by software as follows:

1. Set GDMA_IN_RST_CHn first to 1 and then to 0, to reset the state machine of GDMA’s receive channel and
FIFO pointer;

2. Load an inlink, and configure GDMA_INLINK_ADDR_CHn with address of the first receive descriptor;

3. Configure GDMA_PERI_IN_SEL_CHn with the value corresponding to the peripheral to be connected, as

shown in Table 3-1;

4. Set GDMA_INLINK_START_CHn to enable GDMA’s receive channel for data transfer;

5. Configure and enable the corresponding peripheral (SPI2, SPI3, UHCI0 (UART0, UART1, or UART2), I2S0,
I2S1, AES, SHA, and ADC). See details in individual chapters of these peripherals;

6. Wait for GDMA_IN_SUC_EOF_CHn_INT interrupt, which indicates that a data frame or packet has been
received.

3.6.3 Programming Procedures for Memory­to­Memory Transfer

To transfer data from one memory location to another, GDMA should be configured by software as follows:

1. Set GDMA_OUT_RST_CHn first to 1 and then to 0, to reset the state machine of GDMA’s transmit channel
and FIFO pointer;

2. Set GDMA_IN_RST_CHn first to 1 and then to 0, to reset the state machine of GDMA’s receive channel and
FIFO pointer;

3. Load an outlink, and configure GDMA_OUTLINK_ADDR_CHn with address of the first transmit descriptor;

4. Load an inlink, and configure GDMA_INLINK_ADDR_CHn with address of the first receive descriptor;

5. Set GDMA_MEM_TRANS_EN_CHn to enable memory-to-memory transfer;

6. Set GDMA_OUTLINK_START_CHn to enable GDMA’s transmit channel for data transfer;

7. Set GDMA_INLINK_START_CHn to enable GDMA’s receive channel for data transfer;

8. Wait for GDMA_IN_SUC_EOF_CHn_INT interrupt, which indicates that which indicates that a data
transaction has been completed.

4.3 Functional Description

4.3.1 Address Mapping
The system contains two Harvard Architecture Xtensa® LX7 CPUs, and both can access the same range of
address space.

Addresses below 0x4000_0000 are accessed using the data bus. Addresses in the range of 0x4000_0000 ~
0x4FFF_FFFF are accessed using the instruction bus. Addresses over and including 0x5000_0000 are shared by
both data bus and instruction bus.

Both data bus and instruction bus are little-endian. The CPU can access data via the data bus using single-byte,
double-byte, 4-byte and 16-byte alignment. The CPU can also access data via the instruction bus, but only in

4-byte aligned manner; non-aligned data access will cause a CPU exception.

The CPU can:

• directly access the internal memory via both data bus and instruction bus;

• directly access the external memory which is mapped into the address space via cache;

• directly access modules/peripherals via data bus.

Figure 4-1 lists the address ranges on the data bus and instruction bus and their corresponding target
memory.

Some internal and external memory can be accessed via both data bus and instruction bus. In such cases, the
CPU can access the same memory using multiple addresses.

4.3.2 Internal Memory

The ESP32-S3 consists of the following three types of internal memory:

• Internal ROM (384 KB): The internal ROM is a read-only memory and cannot be programmed. Internal
ROM contains the ROM code (software instructions and some software read-only data) of some low level
system software.

• Internal SRAM (512 KB): The Internal Static RAM (SRAM) is a volatile memory that can be quickly accessed
by the CPU (generally within a single CPU clock cycle).

– A part of the SRAM can be configured to operate as a cache for external memory access, which
cannot be accessed by CPU in such case.

– Some parts of the SRAM can only be accessed via the CPU’s instruction bus.

– Some parts of the SRAM can only be accessed via the CPU’s data bus.

– Some parts of the SRAM can be accessed via both the CPU’s instruction bus and the CPU’s data bus.

• RTC Memory (16 KB): The RTC (Real Time Clock) memory implemented as Static RAM (SRAM) and thus is
volatile. However, RTC memory has the added feature of being persistent throughout deep sleep (i.e., the
RTC memory retains its values throughout deep sleep).

– RTC FAST Memory (8 KB): RTC FAST memory can only be accessed by the CPU, and cannot be
accessed by the ULP co-processor. It is generally used to store instructions and data that needs to
persist across a deep sleep.

– RTC SLOW Memory (8 KB): The RTC SLOW memory can be accessed by both the CPU and the ULP
co-processor, and thus is generally used to store instructions and share data between the CPU and
the ULP co-processor.

Based on the three different types of internal memory described above, the internal memory of the ESP32-S3 is
split into four segments: Internal ROM (384 KB), Internal SRAM (512 KB), RTC FAST Memory (8 KB) and RTC
SLOW Memory (8 KB). However, within each segment, there may be different bus access restrictions (e.g., some
parts of the segment may only be accessible by the CPU’s instruction bus). Therefore, some segments are also
further divided down into parts. Table 4-1 describes each part of internal memory and their address ranges on
the data bus and/or instruction bus.

Note:
All of the internal memories are managed by Permission Control module. An internal memory can only be accessed
when it is allowed by Permission Control, then the internal memory can be available to the CPU. For more information
about Permission Control, please refer to Chapter 15 Permission Control (PMS).

1. Internal ROM 0

Internal ROM 0 is a 256 KB, read-only memory space, addressed by the CPU only through the instruction bus,
as shown in Table 4-1.

2. Internal ROM 1

Internal ROM 1 is a 128 KB, read-only memory space, addressed by the CPU through the instruction bus via
0x4004_0000 ~ 0x4005_FFFF or through the data bus via 0x3FF0_0000 ~ 0x3FF1_FFFF in the same order, as
shown in Table 4-1.

This means, for example, address 0x4005_0000 and 0x3FF0_0000 correspond to the same word, 0x4005_0004
and 0x3FF0_0004 correspond to the same word, 0x4005_0008 and 0x3FF0_0008 correspond to the same
word, etc (same below).

3. Internal SRAM 0

Internal SRAM 0 is a 32 KB, read-and-write memory space, addressed by the CPU through the instruction bus,
as shown in Table 4-1.

A 16 KB or the total 32 KB of this memory space can be configured as instruction cache (ICache) to store
instructions or read-only data of the external memory. In this case, the occupied memory space cannot be
accessed by the CPU, while the remaining can still can be accessed by the CPU.

4. Internal SRAM 1

Internal SRAM 1 is a 416 KB, read-and-write memory space, addressed by the CPU through the data bus or
instruction bus in the same order, as shown in Table 4-1.

The total 416 KB memory space comprises multiple 8 KB and 16 KB memory (sub-memory) blocks. A memory
block (up to 16 KB) can be used as a Trace Memory, in which case this block can still be accessed by the
CPU.

5. Internal SRAM 2

Internal SRAM 2 is a 64 KB, read-and-write memory space, addressed by the CPU through the data bus, as
shown in Table 4-1.

A 32 KB or the total 64 KB can be configured as data cache (DCache) to cache data of the external memory. The
space used as DCache cannot be accessed by the CPU, while the remaining space can still be accessed by the
CPU.

6. RTC FAST Memory

RTC FAST Memory is a 8 KB, read-and-write SRAM, addressed by the CPU through the data/instruction bus via
the shared address 0x600F_E000 ~ 0x600F_FFFF, as described in Table 4-1.

7. RTC SLOW Memory

RTC SLOW Memory is a 8 KB, read-and-write SRAM, addressed by the CPU through the data/instruction bus
via shared address 0x5000_E000 ~ 0x5001_FFFF, as described in Table 4-1.

Espressif Systems 389 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

RTC SLOW Memory can also be used as a peripheral addressable to the CPU via 0x6002_1000 ~
0x6002_2FFF.

4.3.3 External Memory

ESP32-S3 supports SPI, Dual SPI, Quad SPI, Octal SPI, QPI, and OPI interfaces that allow connection to
external flash and RAM. It also supports hardware encryption and decryption based on XTS_AES algorithm to
protect users’ programs and data in the external flash and RAM.

4.3.3.1 External Memory Address Mapping

The CPU accesses the external memory via the cache. According to information inside the MMU (Memory
Management Unit), the cache maps the CPU’s instruction/data bus address into a physical address of the
external flash and RAM. Due to this address mapping, ESP32-S3 can address up to 1 GB external flash and 1
GB external RAM.

Using the cache, ESP32-S3 is able to support the following address space mappings at a time:

• Up to 32 MB instruction bus address space can be mapped to the external flash or RAM as individual 64
KB blocks via the ICache. 4-byte aligned reads and fetches are supported.

• Up to 32 MB data bus address space can be mapped to the external RAM as individual 64 KB blocks via
the DCache. Single-byte, double-byte, 4-byte, 16-byte aligned reads and writes are supported. This
address space can also be mapped to the external flash or RAM for read operations only.

Table 4-2 lists the mapping between the cache and the corresponding address ranges on the data bus and
instruction bus.

Table 4­2. External Memory Address Mapping

Boundary Address
Bus Type Size (MB) Target
Low Address High Address
Data bus 0x3C00_0000 0x3DFF_FFFF 32 DCache
Instruction bus 0x4200_0000 0x43FF_FFFF 32 ICache

Note:
Only if the CPU obtains permission for accessing the external memory, can it be responded for memory access.
For more detailed information about permission control, please refer to Chapter 15 Permission Control (PMS).

4.3.3.2 Cache

As shown in Figure 4-2, ESP32-S3 has a dual-core-shared ICache and DCache structure, which allows prompt
response upon simultaneous requests from the instruction bus and data bus. Some internal memory space can
be used as cache (see Internal SRAM 0 and Internal SRAM 2 in Section 4.3.2).

When the instruction bus of two cores initiate a request on ICache simultaneously, the arbiter determines which
core gets the access to the ICache first; when the data bus of two cores initiate a request on DCache
simultaneously, the arbiter determines which gets the access to the DCache first. When a cache miss occurs, the
cache controller will initiate a request to the external memory. When ICache and DCache initiate requests on the

4 System and Memory GoBack

external memory simultaneously, the arbiter determines which gets the access to the external memory first. The
size of ICache can be configured to 16 KB or 32 KB, while its block size can be configured to 16 B or 32 B.
When an ICache is configured to 32 KB, its block cannot be 16 B. The size of DCache can be configured to 32
KB or 64 KB, while its block size can be configured to 16 B, 32 B or 64 B. When a DCache is configured to 64
KB, its block cannot be 16 B.

Figure 4­2. Cache Structure

4.3.3.3 Cache Operations

ESP32-S3 caches support the following operations:

1. Write­Back: This operation is used to clear the dirty bits in dirty blocks and update the new data to the
external memory. After the write-back operation finished, both the external memory and the cache are
bearing the new data. The CPU can then read/write the data directly from the cache. Only DCache has this
function.

If the data in the cache is newer than the one stored in the external memory, then the new data will be
considered as a dirty block. The cache tracks these dirty blocks through their dirty bits. When the dirty bits
of a data are cleared, the cache will consider the data as new.

2. Clean: This operation is used to clear dirty bits in the dirty block, without updating data to the external
memory. After the clean operation finish, there will still be old data stored in the external memory, while the
cache keeps the new one (but the cache does not know about this). The CPU can then read/write the data
directly from the cache. Only DCache has this function.

3. Invalidate: This operation is used to remove valid data in the cache. Even if the data is a dirty block
mentioned above, it will not be updated to the external memory. But for the non-dirty data, it will be only
stored in the external memory after this operation. The CPU needs to access the external memory in order
to read/write this data. As for the dirty blocks, they will be totally lost with only old data in the external
memory after this operation. There are two types of invalidate operation: automatic invalidation
(Auto-Invalidate) and manual invalidation (Manual-Invalidate). Manual-Invalidate is performed only on data in
the specified area in the cache, while Auto-Invalidate is performed on all data in the cache. Both ICache
and DCache have this function.

4. Preload: This operation is to load instructions and data into the cache in advance. The minimum unit of

Espressif Systems 391 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
4 System and Memory GoBack

preload-operation is one block. There are two types of preload-operation: manual preload
(Manual-Preload) and automatic preload (Auto-Preload). Manual-Preload means that the hardware
prefetches a piece of continuous data according to the virtual address specified by the software.
Auto-Preload means the hardware prefetches a piece of continuous data according to the current address
where the cache hits or misses (depending on configuration). Both ICache and DCache have this function.

5. Lock/Unlock: The lock operation is used to prevent the data in the cache from being easily replaced.
There are two types of lock: prelock and manual lock. When prelock is enabled, the cache locks the data
in the specified area when filling the missing data to cache memory, while the data outside the specified
area will not be locked. When manual lock is enabled, the cache checks the data that is already in the
cache memory and locks the data only if it falls in the specified area, and leaves the data outside the
specified area unlocked. When there are missing data, the cache will replace the data in the unlocked way
first, so the data in the locked way is always stored in the cache and will not be replaced. But when all
ways within the cache are locked, the cache will replace data, as if it was not locked. Unlocking is the
reverse of locking, except that it only can be done manually. Both ICache and DCache have this function.

Please note that the writing-back, cleaning and Manual-Invalidate operations will only work on the unlocked
data. If you expect to perform such operations on the locked data, please unlock them first.

4.3.4 GDMA Address Space

The GDMA (General Direct Memory Access) peripheral in ESP32-S3 can provide DMA (Direct Memory Access)
services including:

• Data transfers between different locations of internal memory;

• Data transfers between internal memory and external memory;

• Data transfers between different locations of external memory.

GDMA uses the same addresses as the CPU’s data bus to access Internal SRAM 1 and Internal SRAM 2.
Specifically, GDMA uses address range 0x3FC8_8000 ~ 0x3FCE_FFFF to access Internal SRAM 1 and
0x3FCF_0000 ~ 0x3FCF_FFFF to access Internal SRAM 2. Note that GDMA cannot access the internal memory
occupied by cache.

In addition, GDMA can access the external memory (only RAM) via the same address as CPU accessing DCache
(0x3C00_0000 ~ 0x3DFF_FFFF). When DCache and GDMA access the external memory simultaneously, the
software needs to make sure the data is consistent.

Besides, some peripherals/modules of the ESP32-S3 can work together with GDMA. In these cases, GDMA can
provide the following powerful services for them:

• Data transfers between modules/peripherals and internal memory;

• Data transfers between modules/peripherals and external memory.

There are 11 peripherals/modules that can work together with GDMA. As shown in Figure 4-3, these 11 vertical
lines in turn correspond to these 11 peripherals/modules with GDMA function, the horizontal line represents a
certain channel of GDMA (can be any channel), and the intersection of the vertical line and the horizontal line
indicates that a peripheral/module has the ability to access the corresponding channel of GDMA. If there are
multiple intersections on the same line, it means that these peripherals/modules cannot enable the GDMA
function at the same time.

These peripherals/modules can access any memory available to GDMA. For more information, please refer to
Chapter 3 GDMA Controller (GDMA).

Note:
When accessing a memory via GDMA, a corresponding access permission is needed, otherwise this access may
fail. For more information about permission control, please refer to Chapter 15 Permission Control (PMS).

4.3.5 Modules/Peripherals
The CPU can access modules/peripherals via 0x6000_0000 ~ 0x600D_0FFF shared by the data/instruction
bus.

5 eFuse Controller

5.1 Overview
The ESP32-S3 contains a 4-Kbit eFuse to store parameters. These parameters are burned and read by an eFuse
Controller. Once an eFuse bit is programmed to 1, it can never be reverted to 0. The eFuse controller programs
individual bits of parameters in eFuse according to users configurations. Some of these parameters can be read
by users using the eFuse controller. If read-protection for some data is not enabled, that data is readable from
outside the chip. If read-protection is enabled, that data can not be read from outside the chip. In all cases,
however, some keys stored in eFuse can still be used internally by hardware cryptography modules such as
Digital Signature, HMAC, etc., without exposing this data to the outside world.

5.2 Features
• 4-Kbit in total, with 1792 bits available for users

• One-time programmable storage

• Configurable write protection

• Configurable read protection

• Various hardware encoding schemes protect against data corruption

5.3 Functional Description

5.3.1 Structure
The eFuse data is organized in 11 blocks (BLOCK0 ~ BLOCK10). BLOCK0 has 640 bits in totall. BLOCK1 has
288 bits and each block of BLOCK2 ~ 10 has 352 bits.

BLOCK0, which holds most parameters, has 25 bits that are readable but useless to users (the details are
showed in Section 5.3.2), and 29 further bits are reserved for future use.

Table 5-1 lists all the parameters in BLOCK0 and their offsets, bit widths, as well as information on whether they
can be used by hardware, which bits are write-protected, and corresponding descriptions.

The EFUSE_WR_DIS parameter is used to disable the writing of other parameters, while EFUSE_RD_DIS is
used to disable users from reading BLOCK4 ~ BLOCK10. For more information on these two parameters, please
see Section 5.3.1.1 and Section 5.3.1.2.

Among these blocks, BLOCK4 ~ 9 store KEY0 ~ 5, respectively. Up to six 256-bit keys can be written into eFuse.
Whenever a key is written, its purpose value should also be written (see table 5-2). For example, when a key for
the JTAG function in HMAC Downstream mode is written to KEY3 (i.e., BLOCK7), its key purpose value 6 should
also be written to EFUSE_KEY_PURPOSE_3.

BLOCK1 ~ BLOCK10 use the RS coding scheme, so there are some restrictions on writing to these parameters.
For more detailed information, please refer to Section 5.3.1.3 and 5.3.2.

5.3.1.1 EFUSE_WR_DIS

Parameter EFUSE_WR_DIS determines whether individual eFuse parameters are write-protected. After
EFUSE_WR_DIS has been programmed, execute an eFuse read operation to let the new values take effect (see
Section 5.3.3).

Column “Write Protection by EFUSE_WR_DIS Bit Number” in Table 5-1 and Table 5-3 list the specific bits in
EFUSE_WR_DIS that disable writing.

When the write protection bit of a parameter is set to 0, it means that this parameter is not write-protected and
can be programmed.

Setting the write protection bit of a parameter to 1 enables write-protection for it and none of its bits can be
modified afterwards. Non-programmed bits always remain 0 while programmed bits always remain 1.

5.3.1.2 EFUSE_RD_DIS

Only the eFuse blocks BLOCK4 ~ BLOCK10 can be individually read protected to prevent any access from
outside the chip, as shown in column “Read Protection by EFUSE_RD_DIS Bit Number” of Table 5-3. After
EFUSE_RD_DIS has been programmed, execute an eFuse read operation to let the new values take effect (see
Section 5.3.3).

If a bit in EFUSE_RD_DIS is 0, then the eFuse block can be read by users; if a bit in EFUSE_RD_DIS is 1, then the
parameter controlled by this bit is user read protected.

Other parameters that are not in BLOCK4 ~ BLOCK10 can always be read by users.

When BLOCK4 ~ BLOCK10 are set to be read-protected, the data in these blocks are not readable by users, but
they can still be used internally by hardware cryptography modules, if the EFUSE_KEY_PURPOSE_n bit is set
accordingly.

5.3.1.3 Data Storage

According to the different types of eFuse bits, eFuse controller use two hardware encoding schemes to protect
eFuse bits from corruption.

All BLOCK0 parameters except for EFUSE_WR_DIS are stored with four backups, meaning each bit is stored
four times. This scheme is transparent to the user. This encoding scheme is invisible for users.

BLOCK1 ~ BLOCK10 store key data and some parameters and use RS (44, 32) coding scheme that supports up
to 6 bytes of automatic error correction. The primitive polynomial of RS (44, 32) is
p(x) = x8 + x4 + x3 + x2 + 1.

The shift register circuit shown in Figure 5-1 and 5-2 processes 32 data bytes using RS (44, 32). This coding
scheme encodes 32 bytes of data into 44 bytes:

Espressif Systems 403 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
5 eFuse Controller GoBack

Figure 5­1. Shift Register Circuit (output of first 32 bytes)

Figure 5­2. Shift Register Circuit (output of last 12 bytes)

• Bytes [0:31] are the data bytes itself

• Bytes [32:43] are the encoded parity bytes stored in 8-bit flip-flops DFF1, DFF2, ..., DFF12 (gf_mul_n,
where n is an integer, is the result of multiplying a byte of data ...)

After that, the hardware burns into eFuse the 44-byte codeword consisting of the data bytes followed by the
parity bytes.

When the eFuse block is read back, the eFuse controller automatically decodes the codeword and applies error
correction if needed.

Because the RS check codes are generated on the entire 256-bit eFuse block, each block can only be written
once.

5.3.2 Programming of Parameters

The eFuse controller can only program eFuse parameters of one block at a time. BLOCK0 ~ BLOCK10 share the
same address range to store the parameters to be programmed. Configure parameter EFUSE_BLK_NUM to
indicate which block should be programmed.

Before programming, make sure the eFuse programming voltage VDDQ is configured correctly as described in
Section 5.3.4.

When EFUSE_BLK_NUM is set to 0, BLOCK0 will be programmed. Register EFUSE_PGM_DATA0_REG stores

EFUSE_WR_DIS. Registers EFUSE_PGM_DATA1_REG ~ EFUSE_PGM_DATA5_REG store the information of
parameters to be programmed. Note that 25 bits are readable but useless to users and must always be set to 0
in the programming registers. The specific bits are:

• EFUSE_PGM_DATA1_REG[27:31]

• EFUSE_PGM_DATA1_REG[21:24]

• EFUSE_PGM_DATA2_REG[7:15]

• EFUSE_PGM_DATA2_REG[0:3]

• EFUSE_PGM_DATA3_REG[26:27]

• EFUSE_PGM_DATA4_REG[30]

Data in registers EFUSE_PGM_DATA6_REG ~ EFUSE_PGM_DATA7_REG and

EFUSE_PGM_CHECK_VALUE0_REG ~ EFUSE_PGM_CHECK_VALUE2_REG are ignored when programming
BLOCK0.

Programming BLOCK1

When EFUSE_BLK_NUM is set to 1, registers EFUSE_PGM_DATA0_REG ~ EFUSE_PGM_DATA5_REG store the

BLOCK1 parameters to be programmed. Registers EFUSE_PGM_CHECK_VALUE0_REG ~
EFUSE_PGM_DATA2_REG store the corresponding RS check codes. Data in registers
EFUSE_PGM_DATA6_REG ~ EFUSE_PGM_DATA7_REG is ignored when programming BLOCK1, and the RS
check codes will be calculated with these bits all treated as 0.

Programming BLOCK2 ~ 10

When EFUSE_BLK_NUM is set to 2 ~ 10, registers EFUSE_PGM_DATA0_REG ~ EFUSE_PGM_DATA7_REG

store the parameters to be programmed to this block. Registers
EFUSE_PGM_CHECK_VALUE0_REG ~ EFUSE_PGM_CHECK_VALUE2_REG store the corresponding RS check
codes.

Programming process

The process of programming parameters is as follows:

1. Write the block number to EFUSE_BLK_NUM to determine the block to be programmed.

2. Write parameters to be programmed to registers EFUSE_PGM_DATA0_REG ~ EFUSE_PGM_DATA7_REG

and the corresponding checksum values to
EFUSE_PGM_CHECK_VALUE0_REG ~ EFUSE_PGM_CHECK_VALUE2_REG.

3. Configure the field EFUSE_OP_CODE of register EFUSE_CONF_REG to 0x5A5A.

4. Configure the field EFUSE_PGM_CMD of register EFUSE_CMD_REG to 1.

5. Poll register EFUSE_CMD_REG until it is 0x0, or wait for a PGM_DONE interrupt. For more information on
how to identify a PGM_DONE interrupt, please see the end of Section 5.3.3.

6. In order to avoid programming content leakage, please clear the parameters in EFUSE_PGM_DATA0_REG
~ EFUSE_PGM_DATA7_REG and
EFUSE_PGM_CHECK_VALUE0_REG ~ EFUSE_PGM_CHECK_VALUE2_REG.

7. Trigger an eFuse read operation (see Section 5.3.3) to update eFuse registers with the new values.

8. Check error record registers. If the values read in error record registers are not 0, the programming process
should be performed again following above steps 1 ~ 7. Please check the following error record registers
for different eFuse blocks:

• BLOCK0: EFUSE_RD_REPEAT_ERR0_REG ~ EFUSE_RD_REPEAT_ERR4_REG

• BLOCK1: EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR0_REG[2:0], EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR0_REG[7]

• BLOCK2: EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR0_REG[6:4], EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR0_REG[11]

• BLOCK3: EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR0_REG[10:8], EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR0_REG[15]

• BLOCK4: EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR0_REG[14:12], EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR0_REG[19]

• BLOCK5: EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR0_REG[18:16], EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR0_REG[23]

• BLOCK6: EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR0_REG[22:20], EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR0_REG[27]

• BLOCK7: EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR0_REG[26:24], EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR0_REG[31]

• BLOCK8: EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR0_REG[30:28], EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR1_REG[3]

• BLOCK9: EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR1_REG[2:0], EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR1_REG[2:0][7]

• BLOCK10: EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR1_REG[2:0][6:4]

Limitations

In BLOCK0, each bit can be programmed separately. However, we recommend to minimize programming cycles
and program all the bits of a parameter in one programming action. In addition, after all parameters controlled by
a certain bit of EFUSE_WR_DIS are programmed, that bit should be immediately programmed. The
programming of parameters controlled by a certain bit of EFUSE_WR_DIS, and the programming of the bit itself
can even be completed at the same time. Repeated programming of already programmed bits is strictly
forbidden, otherwise, programming errors will occur.

BLOCK1 cannot be programmed by users as it has been programmed at manufacturing.

BLOCK2 ~ 10 can only be programmed once. Repeated programming is not allowed.

5.3.3 User Read of Parameters

Users cannot read eFuse bits directly. The eFuse Controller hardware reads all eFuse bits and stores the results
to their corresponding registers in its memory space. Then, users can read eFuse bits by reading the registers
that start with EFUSE_RD_. Details are provided in Table 5-4.

Updating eFuse read registers

The eFuse Controller reads internal eFuses to update corresponding registers. This read operation happens on
system reset and can also be triggered manually by users as needed (e.g., if new eFuse values have been
programmed). The process of triggering a read operation by users is as follows:

1. Configure the field EFUSE_OP_CODE in register EFUSE_CONF_REG to 0x5AA5.

2. Configure the field EFUSE_READ_CMD in register EFUSE_CMD_REG to 1.

3. Poll register EFUSE_CMD_REG until it is 0x0, or wait for a READ_DONE interrupt. Information on how to
identify a READ_DONE interrupt is provided below in this section.

4. users reads the values of each parameter from memory.

The eFuse read registers will hold all values until the next read operation.

Error detection

Error record registers allow users to detect if there are any inconsistencies in the stored backup eFuse
parameters.

Registers EFUSE_RD_REPEAT_ERR0 ~ 3_REG indicate if there are any errors of programmed parameters
(except for EFUSE_WR_DIS) in BLOCK0 (value 1 indicates an error is detected, and the bit becomes invalid;
value 0 indicates no error).

Registers EFUSE_RD_RS_ERR0 ~ 1_REG store the number of corrected bytes as well as the result of RS
decoding during eFuse reading BLOCK1 ~ BLOCK10.

The values of above registers will be updated every time after the eFuse read registers have been updated.

Identifying the completion of a program/read operation

The methods to identify the completion of a program/read operation are described below. Please note that bit 1
corresponds to a program operation, and bit 0 corresponds to a read operation.

• Method one:

1. Poll bit 1/0 in register EFUSE_INT_RAW_REG until it becomes 1, which represents the completion of a
program/read operation.

• Method two:

1. Set bit 1/0 in register EFUSE_INT_ENA_REG to 1 to enable the eFuse Controller to post a
PGM_DONE or READ_DONE interrupt.

2. Configure the Interrupt Matrix to enable the CPU to respond to eFuse interrupt signals, see Chapter 9
Interrupt Matrix (INTERRUPT).

3. Wait for the PGM/READ_DONE interrupt.

4. Set bit 1/0 in register EFUSE_INT_CLR_REG to 1 to clear the PGM/READ_DONE interrupt.

Note

When eFuse controller updating its registers, it will use EFUSE_PGM_DATAn_REG (n=0�1�..,7) again to store
data. So please do not write important data into these registers before this updating process initiated.

During the chip boot process, eFuse controller will update eFuse data into registers which can be accessed by
users automatically. You can get programmed eFuse data by reading corresponding registers. Thus, it is no need
to update eFuse read registers in such case.

5.3.4 eFuse VDDQ Timing

The eFuse Controller operates with 20 MHz, one cycle is 50 ns, and its programming voltage VDDQ should be
configured as follows:

• EFUSE_DAC_NUM (store the rising period of VDDQ): The default value of VDDQ is 2.5 V and the voltage
increases by 0.01 V in each clock cycle. Thus, the default value of this parameter is 255;

• EFUSE_DAC_CLK_DIV (the clock divisor of VDDQ): The clock period to program VDDQ should be larger
than 1 µs;

• EFUSE_PWR_ON_NUM (the power-up time for VDDQ): The programming voltage should be stabilized after
this time, which means the value of this parameter should be configured to exceed the value of
EFUSE_DAC_CLK_DIV multiply by EFUSE_DAC_NUM;

• EFUSE_PWR_OFF_NUM (the power-out time for VDDQ): The value of this parameter should be larger than
10 µs.

5.3.5 The Use of Parameters by Hardware Modules

Some hardware modules are directly connected to the eFuse peripheral in order to use the parameters listed in
Table 5-1 and Table 5-3, specifically those marked with “Y” in columns “Accessible by Hardware”. Users cannot
intervene in this process.

5.3.6 Interrupts
• PGM_DONE interrupt: Triggered when eFuse programming has finished. Set
EFUSE_PGM_DONE_INT_ENA to enable this interrupt;

• READ_DONE interrupt: Triggered when eFuse reading has finished. Set EFUSE_READ_DONE_INT_ENA to
enable this interrupt.

6 IO MUX and GPIO Matrix (GPIO, IO MUX)

6.1 Overview
The ESP32-S3 chip features 45 physical GPIO pins. Each pin can be used as a general-purpose I/O, or be
connected to an internal peripheral signal. Through GPIO matrix, IO MUX, and RTC IO MUX, peripheral input
signals can be from any GPIO pin, and peripheral output signals can be routed to any GPIO pin. Together these
modules provide highly configurable I/O.

Note that the 45 GPIO pins are numbered from 0 ~ 21 and 26 ~ 48. All these pins can be configured either
as input or output.

6.2 Features
GPIO Matrix Features

• A full-switching matrix between the peripheral input/output signals and the GPIO pins.

• 175 digital peripheral input signals can be sourced from the input of any GPIO pins.

• The output of any GPIO pins can be from any of the 184 digital peripheral output signals.

• Supports signal synchronization for peripheral inputs based on APB clock bus.

• Provides input signal filter.

• Supports sigma delta modulated output.

• Supports GPIO simple input and output.

IO MUX Features

• Provides one configuration register IO_MUX_GPIOn_REG for each GPIO pin. The pin can be configured to

– perform GPIO function routed by GPIO matrix;

– or perform direct connection bypassing GPIO matrix.

• Supports some high-speed digital signals (SPI, JTAG, UART) bypassing GPIO matrix for better
high-frequency digital performance. In this case, IO MUX is used to connect these pins directly to
peripherals.

RTC IO MUX Features

• Controls low power feature of 22 RTC GPIO pins.

• Controls analog functions of 22 RTC GPIO pins.

• Redirects 22 RTC input/output signals to RTC system.

6.3 Architectural Overview

Figure 6-1 shows in details how IO MUX, RTC IO MUX, and GPIO matrix route signals from pins to peripherals,
and from peripherals to pins.

6 IO MUX and GPIO Matrix (GPIO, IO MUX) GoBack

Figure 6­1. Architecture of IO MUX, RTC IO MUX, and GPIO Matrix

1. Only part of peripheral input signals (marked “yes” in column “Direct input through IO MUX” in Table 6-2)
can bypass GPIO matrix. The other input signals can only be routed to peripherals via GPIO matrix.

2. There are only 45 inputs from GPIO SYNC to GPIO matrix, since ESP32-S3 provides 45 GPIO pins in total.

3. The pins supplied by VDD3P3_CPU or by VDD3P3_RTC are controlled by the signals: IE, OE, WPU, and
WPD.

4. Only part of peripheral outputs (marked “yes” in column “Direct output through IO MUX” in Table 6-2) can
be routed to pins bypassing GPIO matrix.

5. There are only 45 outputs (GPIO pin X: 0 ~ 21, 26 ~ 48) from GPIO matrix to IO MUX.

Figure 6-2 shows the internal structure of a pad, which is an electrical interface between the chip logic and the
GPIO pin. The structure is applicable to all 45 GPIO pins and can be controlled using IE, OE, WPU, and WPD
signals.

Note:

• IE: input enable

• OE: output enable

• WPU: internal weak pull-up

• WPD: internal weak pull-down

• Bonding pad: a terminal point of the chip logic used to make a physical connection from the chip die to GPIO pin
in the chip package.

6.4 Peripheral Input via GPIO Matrix

6.4.1 Overview
To receive a peripheral input signal via GPIO matrix, the matrix is configured to source the peripheral input signal
from one of the 45 GPIOs (0 ~ 21, 26 ~ 48), see Table 6-2. Meanwhile, register corresponding to the peripheral
signal should be set to receive input signal via GPIO matrix.

6.4.2 Signal Synchronization

When signals are directed from pins using the GPIO matrix, the signals will be synchronized to the APB bus clock
by the GPIO SYNC hardware, then go to GPIO matrix. This synchronization applies to all GPIO matrix signals but
does not apply when using the IO MUX, see Figure 6-1.

6 IO MUX and GPIO Matrix (GPIO, IO MUX) GoBack

Figure 6­3. GPIO Input Synchronized on APB Clock Rising Edge or on Falling Edge

Figure 6-3 shows the functionality of GPIO SYNC. In the figure, negative sync and positive sync mean GPIO input
is synchronized on APB clock falling edge and on APB clock rising edge, respectively.

6.4.3 Functional Description

To read GPIO pin X1 into peripheral signal Y, follow the steps below:

1. Configure register GPIO_FUNCy_IN_SEL_CFG_REG corresponding to peripheral signal Y in GPIO matrix:

• Set GPIO_SIGy_IN_SEL to enable peripheral signal input via GPIO matrix.

• Set GPIO_FUNCy_IN_SEL to the desired GPIO pin, i.e. X here.

Note that some peripheral signals have no valid GPIO_SIGy_IN_SEL bit, namely, these peripherals can only
receive input signals via GPIO matrix.

2. Optionally enable the filter for pin input signals by setting the register IO_MUX_FILTER_EN. Only the signals
with a valid width of more than two APB clock cycles can be sampled, see Figure 6-4.

Figure 6­4. Filter Timing of GPIO Input Signals

3. Synchronize GPIO input. To do so, please set GPIO_PINx_REG corresponding to GPIO pin X as follows:

• Set GPIO_PINx_SYNC1_BYPASS to enable input signal synchronized on rising edge or on falling edge
in the first clock, see Figure 6-3.

Espressif Systems 460 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
6 IO MUX and GPIO Matrix (GPIO, IO MUX) GoBack

• Set GPIO_PINx_SYNC2_BYPASS to enable input signal synchronized on rising edge or on falling edge
in the second clock, see Figure 6-3.

4. Configure IO MUX register to enable pin input. For this end, please set IO_MUX_X_REG corresponding to
GPIO pin x as follows:

• Set IO_MUX_FUN_IE to enable input2 .

• Set or clear IO_MUX_FUN_WPU and IO_MUX_FUN_WPD, as desired, to enable or disable pull-up

and pull-down resistors.

For example, to connect RMT channel 0 input signal3 (rmt_sig_in0, signal index 81) to GPIO40, please follow the
steps below. Note that GPIO40 is also named as MTDO pin.

1. Set GPIO_SIG81_IN_SEL in register GPIO_FUNC81_IN_SEL_CFG_REG to enable peripheral signal input

via GPIO matrix.

2. Set GPIO_FUNC81_IN_SEL in register GPIO_FUNC81_IN_SEL_CFG_REG to 40, i.e. select GPIO40.

3. Set IO_MUX_FUN_IE in register IO_MUX_GPIO40_REG to enable pin input.

Note:

1. One pin input can be connected to multiple peripheral input signals.

2. The input signal can be inverted by configuring GPIO_FUNCy_IN_INV_SEL.

3. It is possible to have a peripheral read a constantly low or constantly high input value without connecting this input
to a pin. This can be done by selecting a special GPIO_FUNCy_IN_SEL input, instead of a GPIO number:
• When GPIO_FUNCy_IN_SEL is set to 0x3C, input signal is always 0.
• When GPIO_FUNCy_IN_SEL is set to 0x38, input signal is always 1.

6.4.4 Simple GPIO Input

GPIO_IN_REG/GPIO_IN1_REG holds the input values of each GPIO pin. The input value of any GPIO pin can be
read at any time without configuring GPIO matrix for a particular peripheral signal. However, it is necessary to
enable pin input by setting IO_MUX_FUN_IE in register IO_MUX_x_REG corresponding to pin X, as described in
Section 6.4.2.

6.5 Peripheral Output via GPIO Matrix

6.5.1 Overview
To output a signal from a peripheral via GPIO matrix, the matrix is configured to route peripheral output signals
(only signals with a name assigned in the column ”Output signal” in Table 6-2) to one of the 45 GPIOs (0 ~ 21, 26
~ 48).

The output signal is routed from the peripheral into GPIO matrix and then into IO MUX. IO MUX must be
configured to set the chosen pin to GPIO function. This enables the output GPIO signal to be connected to the
pin.

Note:
There is a range of peripheral output signals (208 ~ 212 in Table 6-2) which are not connected to any peripheral, but to the

Espressif Systems 461 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
6 IO MUX and GPIO Matrix (GPIO, IO MUX) GoBack

input signals (208 ~ 212) directly. These can be used to input a signal from one GPIO pin and output directly to another
GPIO pin.

6.5.2 Functional Description

Some of the 256 output signals (signals with a name assigned in the column ”Output signal” in Table 6-2) can be
set to go through GPIO matrix into IO MUX and then to a pin. Figure 6-1 illustrates the configuration.

To output peripheral signal Y to a particular GPIO pin X1 , 2

, follow these steps:

1. Configure GPIO_FUNCx_OUT_SEL_CFG_REG and GPIO_ENABLE_REG[x] corresponding to GPIO pin X in

GPIO matrix. Recommended operation: use corresponding W1TS (write 1 to set) and W1TC (write 1 to
clear) registers to set or clear GPIO_ENABLE_REG.

• Set the GPIO_FUNCx_OUT_SEL field in register GPIO_FUNCx_OUT_SEL_CFG_REG to the index of

the desired peripheral output signal Y.

• If the signal should always be enabled as an output, set the bit GPIO_FUNCx_OEN_SEL in register
GPIO_FUNCx_OUT_SEL_CFG_REG and the bit in register GPIO_ENABLE/ENABLE1_W1TS_REG,
corresponding to GPIO pin X. To have the output enable signal decided by internal logic (for example,
the SPIQ_oe in column “Output enable signal when GPIO_FUNCn_OEN_SEL = 0” in Table 6-2), clear
the bit GPIO_FUNCx_OEN_SEL instead.

• Set the corresponding bit in register GPIO_ENABLE/ENABLE1_W1TC_REG to disable the output

from the GPIO pin.

2. For an open drain output, set the bit GPIO_PINx_PAD_DRIVER in register GPIO_PINx_REG corresponding
to GPIO pin X.

3. Configure IO MUX register to enable output via GPIO matrix. Set the IO_MUX_x_REG corresponding to
GPIO pin X as follows:

• Set the field IO_MUX_MCU_SEL to desired IO MUX function corresponding to GPIO pin X. This is
Function 1 (GPIO function), numeric value 1, for all pins.

• Set the field IO_MUX_FUN_DRV to the desired value for output strength (0 ~ 3). The higher the driver
strength, the more current can be sourced/sunk from the pin.

– 0: ~5 mA

– 1: ~10 mA

– 2: ~20 mA (default value)

– 3: ~40 mA

• If using open drain mode, set/clear IO_MUX_FUN_WPU and IO_MUX_FUN_WPD to enable/disable

the internal pull-up/pull-down resistors.

Note:

1. The output signal from a single peripheral can be sent to multiple pins simultaneously.

2. The output signal can be inverted by setting GPIO_FUNCx_OUT_INV_SEL.

6.5.3 Simple GPIO Output

GPIO matrix can also be used for simple GPIO output. This can be done as below:

• Set GPIO matrix GPIO_FUNCn_OUT_SEL with a special peripheral index 256 (0x100);

• Set the corresponding bit in GPIO_OUT_REG[31:0] or GPIO_OUT1_REG[21:0] to the desired GPIO output
value.

Note:

• GPIO_OUT_REG[21:0] and GPIO_OUT_REG[31:26] correspond to GPIO0 ~ 21 and GPIO26 ~ 31, respectively.

GPIO_OUT_REG[25:22] are invalid.

• GPIO_OUT1_REG[16:0] correspond to GPIO32 ~ 48, and GPIO_OUT1_REG[21:17] are invalid.

• Recommended operation: use corresponding W1TS and W1TC registers, such as GPIO_OUT_W1TS/GPIO_OUT_
W1TC to set or clear the registers GPIO_OUT_REG/GPIO_OUT1_REG.

6.5.4 Sigma Delta Modulated Output

6.5.4.1 Functional Description

Eight out of the 256 peripheral outputs (index: 93 ~ 100 in Table 6-2) support 1-bit second-order sigma delta
modulation. By default output is enabled for these eight channels. This Sigma Delta modulator can also output
PDM (pulse density modulation) signal with configurable duty cycle. The transfer function is:

H(z) = X(z)z−1 + E(z)(1-z−1 )2

E(z) is quantization error and X(z) is the input.

This modulator supports scaling down of APB_CLK by divider 1 ~ 256:

• Set GPIO_FUNCTION_CLK_EN to enable the modulator clock.

• Configure GPIO_SDn_PRESCALE (n is 0 ~ 7 for eight channels).

After scaling, the clock cycle is equal to one pulse output cycle from the modulator.

GPIO_SDn_IN is a signed number with a range of [-128, 127] and is used to control the duty cycle 1 of PDM
output signal.

• GPIO_SDn_IN = -128, the duty cycle of the output signal is 0%.

• GPIO_SDn_IN = 0, the duty cycle of the output signal is near 50%.

• GPIO_SDn_IN = 127, the duty cycle of the output signal is close to 100%.

The formula for calculating PDM signal duty cycle is shown as below:

GP IO_SDn_IN + 128
Duty_Cycle =
256

Note:
For PDM signals, duty cycle refers to the percentage of high level cycles to the whole statistical period (several pulse

6 IO MUX and GPIO Matrix (GPIO, IO MUX) GoBack

cycles, for example 256 pulse cycles).

6.5.4.2 SDM Configuration

The configuration of SDM is shown below:

• Route one of SDM outputs to a pin via GPIO matrix, see Section 6.5.2.

• Enable the modulator clock by setting GPIO_FUNCTION_CLK_EN.

• Configure the divider value by setting GPIO_SDn_PRESCALE.

• Configure the duty cycle of SDM output signal by setting GPIO_SDn_IN.

6.6 Direct Input and Output via IO MUX

6.6.1 Overview
Some high-speed signals (SPI and JTAG) can bypass GPIO matrix for better high-frequency digital performance.
In this case, IO MUX is used to connect these pins directly to the peripherals.

This option is less flexible than routing signals via GPIO matrix, as the IO MUX register for each GPIO pin can only
select from a limited number of functions, but high-frequency digital performance can be improved.

6.6.2 Functional Description

Two registers must be configured in order to bypass GPIO matrix for peripheral input signals:

1. IO_MUX_MCU_SEL for the GPIO pin must be set to the required pin function. For the list of pin functions,
please refer to Section 6.12.

2. Clear GPIO_SIGn_IN_SEL to route the input directly to the peripheral.

To bypass GPIO matrix for peripheral output signals, IO_MUX_MCU_SEL for the GPIO pin must be set to the
required pin function. For the list of pin functions, please refer to Section 6.12.

Note:
Not all signals can be connected to peripheral via IO MUX. Some input/output signals can only be connected to peripheral
via GPIO matrix.

6.7 RTC IO MUX for Low Power and Analog Input/Output

6.7.1 Overview
ESP32-S3 provides 22 GPIO pins with low power capabilities (RTC) and analog functions, which are handled by
the RTC subsystem of ESP32-S3. IO MUX and GPIO matrix are not used for these functions, rather, RTC IO
MUX is used to redirect 22 RTC input/output signals to the RTC subsystem.

When configured as RTC GPIOs, the output pins can still retain the output level value when the chip is in
Deep-sleep mode, and the input pins can wake up the chip from Deep-sleep.

Espressif Systems 464 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
6 IO MUX and GPIO Matrix (GPIO, IO MUX) GoBack

6.7.2 Low Power Capabilities

The pins with RTC functions are controlled by RTC_IO_TOUCH/RTC_PADn_MUX_SEL bit in register
RTC_IO_
TOUCH/RTC_PADn_REG. By default all bits in these registers are set to 0, routing all input/output signals via IO
MUX.

If RTC_IO_TOUCH/RTC_PADn_MUX_SEL is set to 1, then input/output signals to and from that pin is routed to
the RTC subsystem. In this mode, RTC_IO_TOUCH/RTC_PADn_REG is used to control RTC low power pins.
Note that RTC_IO_TOUCH/RTC_PADn_REG applies the RTC GPIO pin numbering, not the GPIO pin numbering.
See Table 6-4 for RTC functions of RTC IO MUX pins.

6.7.3 Analog Functions

When the pin is used for analog purpose, make sure this pin is left floating by configuring the register
RTC_IO_TOUCH
/RTC_PADn_REG. By such way, external analog signal is connected to internal analog signal via GPIO pin. The
configuration is as follows:

• Set RTC_IO_TOUCH/RTC_PADn_MUX_SEL, to select RTC IO MUX to route input and output signals.

• Clear RTC_IO_TOUCH/RTC_PADn_FUN_IE, RTC_IO_TOUCH/RTC_PADn_

FUN_RUE, and RTC_IO_TOUCH/RTC_PADn_FUN_RDE, to set this pin floating.

• Configure RTC_IO_TOUCH/RTC_PADn_FUN_SEL to 0, to enable analog function 0.

• Write 1 to RTC_GPIO_ENABLE_W1TC, to clear output enable.

See Table 6-5 for analog functions of RTC IO MUX pins.

6.8 Pin Functions in Light­sleep

Pins may provide different functions when ESP32-S3 is in Light-sleep mode. If IO_MUX_SLP_SEL in register
IO_MUX_n_REG for a GPIO pin is set to 1, a different set of bits will be used to control the pin when the chip is in
Light-sleep mode.

6.9 Pin Hold Feature

Each GPIO pin (including the RTC pins) has an individual hold function controlled by an RTC register. When the
pin 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/GPIO configuration is modified. Users can use the hold function for the pins to retain
the pin state through a core reset and system reset triggered by watchdog time-out or Deep-sleep events.

Note:

• For digital pins, to maintain pin input/output status in Deep-sleep mode, users can set RTC_CNTL_DG_PAD_
FORCE_UNHOLD to 0 before powering down. For RTC pins, the input and output values are controlled by the
corresponding bits of register RTC_CNTL_PAD_HOLD_REG, and users can set it to 1 to hold the value or set it to
0 to unhold the value.

• To disable the hold function after the chip is woken up, users can set RTC_CNTL_DG_PAD_FORCE_UNHOLD to
1. To maintain the hold function of the pin, users can set the corresponding bit in register RTC_CNTL_PAD_
HOLD_REG to 1.

6.10 Power Supply and Management of GPIO Pins

6.10.1 Power Supply of GPIO Pins
For more information on the power supply for GPIO pins, please refer to Pin Definition in ESP32-S3
Datasheet.

6.10.2 Power Supply Management

Each ESP32-S3 pin is connected to one of the three different power domains.

• VDD3P3_RTC: the input power supply for both RTC and CPU

• VDD3P3_CPU: the input power supply for CPU

• VDD_SPI: configurable input/output power supply

VDD_SPI can be configured to use an internal LDO. The LDO input and output both are 1.8 V. If the LDO is not
enabled, VDD_SPI is connected directly to the same power supply as VDD3P3_RTC.

The VDD_SPI configuration is determined by the value of strapping pin GPIO45, or can be overriden by eFuse
and/or register settings. See ESP32-S3 Datasheet sections Power Scheme and Strapping Pins for more
details.

Note that GPIO33 ~ GPIO37 can be powered either by VDD_SPI or VDD3P3_CPU.

6.11 Peripheral Signals via GPIO Matrix

Table 6-2 shows the peripheral input/output signals via GPIO matrix.

Please pay attention to the configuration of the bit GPIO_FUNCn_OEN_SEL:

• GPIO_FUNCn_OEN_SEL = 1: the output enable is controlled by the corresponding bit n of

GPIO_ENABLE_REG:

– GPIO_ENABLE_REG = 0: output is disabled;

Espressif Systems 466 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
6 IO MUX and GPIO Matrix (GPIO, IO MUX) GoBack

– GPIO_ENABLE_REG = 1: output is enabled;

• GPIO_FUNCn_OEN_SEL = 0: use the output enable signal from peripheral, for example SPIQ_oe in the
column “Output enable signal when GPIO_FUNCn_OEN_SEL = 0” of Table 6-2. Note that the signals such
as SPIQ_oe can be 1 (1’d1) or 0 (1’d0), depending on the configuration of corresponding peripherals. If it’s
1’d1 in the “Output enable signal when GPIO_FUNCn_OEN_SEL = 0”, it indicates that once the register
GPIO_FUNCn_OEN_SEL is cleared, the output signal is always enabled by default.

Note:
Signals are numbered consecutively, but not all signals are valid.
• Only the signals with a name assigned in the column ”Input signal” in Table 6-2 are valid input signals.

• Only the signals with a name assigned in the column ”Output signal” in Table 6-2 are valid output signals.

Drive Strength

“DRV” column shows the drive strength of each pin after reset:

• 0 - Drive current = ~5 mA

• 1 - Drive current = ~10 mA

• 2 - Drive current = ~20 mA

• 3 - Drive current = ~40 mA

Reset Configurations

“RST” column shows the default configuration of each pin after reset:

• 0 - IE = 0 (input disabled)

• 1 - IE = 1 (input enabled)

• 2 - IE = 1, WPD = 1 (input enabled, pull-down resistor enabled)

• 3 - IE = 1, WPU = 1 (input enabled, pull-up resistor enabled)

• 4 - OE = 1, WPU = 1 (output enabled, pull-up resistor enabled)

• 1* - If EFUSE_DIS_PAD_JTAG = 1, the pin MTCK is left floating after reset, i.e. IE = 1. If

EFUSE_DIS_PAD_JTAG = 0, the pin MTCK is connected to internal pull-up resistor, i.e. IE = 1, WPU = 1.

Note:

• R - Pin has RTC/analog functions via RTC IO MUX.

7.1 Reset
7.1.1 Overview
ESP32-S3 provides four reset levels, namely CPU Reset, Core Reset, System Reset, and Chip Reset.

All reset levels mentioned above (except Chip Reset) maintain the data stored in internal memory. Figure 7-1
shows the affected subsystems of the four reset levels.

7.1.2 Architectural Overview

Figure 7­1. Reset Levels

7.1.3 Features
• Support four reset levels:

– CPU Reset: only resets CPUx core. CPUx can be CPU0 or CPU1 here. Once such reset is released,
programs will be executed from CPUx reset vector. Each CPU core has its own reset logic.

– Core Reset: resets the whole digital system except RTC, including CPU0, CPU1, peripherals, Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth® LE (BLE), and digital GPIOs.

– System Reset: resets the whole digital system, including RTC.

– Chip Reset: resets the whole chip.

• Support software reset and hardware reset:

– Software reset is triggered by CPUx configuring its corresponding registers.

– Hardware reset is directly triggered by the circuit.

Note:
If CPU Reset is from CPU0, the sensitive registers will be reset, too.

7.1.4 Functional Description

CPU0 and CPU1 will be reset immediately when any of the reset above occurs. After the reset is released, CPU0
and CPU1 can read from the registers RTC_CNTL_RESET_CAUSE_PROCPU and RTC_CNTL_RESET_
CAUSE_APPCPU to get the reset source, respectively. The reset sources recorded in the two registers are
shared by the two CPUs, except the CPU reset sources, i.e. each CPU has its own CPU reset sources.

7.2 Clock
7.2.1 Overview
ESP32-S3 clocks are mainly sourced from oscillator (OSC), RC, and PLL circuit, and then processed by the
dividers/selectors, which allows most functional modules to select their working clock according to their power
consumption and performance requirements. Figure 7-2 shows the system clock structure.

7.2.2 Architectural Overview

Figure 7­2. Clock Structure

7.2.3 Features
ESP32-S3 clocks can be classified in two types depending on their frequencies:

• High speed clocks for devices working at a higher frequency, such as CPU and digital peripherals

– PLL_CLK (320 MHz or 480 MHz): internal PLL clock

– XTAL_CLK (40 MHz): external crystal clock

• Slow speed clocks for low-power devices, such as RTC module and low-power peripherals

– XTAL32K_CLK (32 kHz): external crystal clock

– RC_FAST_CLK (17.5 MHz by default): internal fast RC oscillator clock with adjustable frequency

– RC_FAST_DIV_CLK: internal fast RC oscillator clock derived from RC_FAST_CLK divided by 256

– RC_SLOW_CLK (136 kHz by default): internal low RC oscillator clock with adjustable frequency

7.2.4 Functional Description

7.2.4.1 CPU Clock

As Figure 7-2 shows, CPU_CLK is the master clock for CPUx and it can be as high as 240 MHz when CPUx
works in high performance mode. Alternatively, CPUx can run at lower frequencies, such as at 2 MHz, to lower
power consumption.

Users can set PLL_CLK, RC_FAST_CLK or XTAL_CLK as CPU_CLK clock source by configuring register
SYSTEM_SOC_CLK_SEL, see Table 7-2 and Table 7-3. By default, the CPU clock is sourced from XTAL_CLK
with a divider of 2, i.e. the CPU clock is 20 MHz.

PLL_F160M_CLK is divided from PLL_CLK according to current PLL frequency.

PLL_D2_CLK

PLL_D2_CLK is divided from PLL_CLK according to current PLL frequency.

LEDC_CLK

LEDC module uses RC_FAST_CLK as clock source when APB_CLK is disabled. In other words, when the
system is in low-power mode, most peripherals will be halted (APB_CLK is turned off), but LEDC can work
normally via RC_FAST_CLK.

7.2.4.3 Wi­Fi and Bluetooth LE Clock

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE can work only when CPU_CLK uses PLL_CLK as its clock source. Suspending PLL_CLK
requires that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE has entered low-power mode first.

LOW_POWER_CLK uses XTAL32K_CLK, XTAL_CLK, RC_FAST_CLK or RTC_SLOW_CLK (the low clock

selected by RTC) as its clock source for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE in low-power mode.

7.2.4.4 RTC Clock

The clock sources for RTC_SLOW_CLK and RTC_FAST_CLK are low-frequency clocks. RTC module can
operate when most other clocks are stopped.

RTC_SLOW_CLK is derived from RC_SLOW_CLK, XTAL32K_CLK or RC_FAST_DIV_CLK and used to clock

Power Management module. RTC_FAST_CLK is used to clock On-chip Sensor module. It can be sourced from
a divided XTAL_CLK or from RC_FAST_CLK.

8 Chip Boot Control GoBack

8 Chip Boot Control

8.1 Overview
ESP32-S3 has four strapping pins:

• GPIO0

• GPIO3

• GPIO45

• GPIO46

These strapping pins are used to control the following functions during chip power-on or hardware reset:

• control chip boot mode

• enable or disable ROM messages printing

• control the voltage of VDD_SPI

• control the source of JTAG signals

During power-on-reset, RTC watchdog reset, brownout reset, analog super watchdog reset, and crystal clock
glitch detection reset (see Chapter 7 Reset and Clock), hardware captures samples and stores the voltage level of
strapping pins as strapping bit of “0” or “1” in latches, and holds these bits until the chip is powered down or shut
down. Software can read the latch status (strapping value) from the register GPIO_STRAPPING.

By default, GPIO0, GPIO45, and GPIO46 are connected to the chip’s internal pull-up/pull-down resistors. If these
pins are not connected or connected to an external high-impedance circuit, the internal weak pull-up/pull-down
determines the default input level of these strapping pins (see Table 8-1).

Table 8­1. Default Configuration of Strapping Pins

Strapping Pin Default Configuration

GPIO0 Pull-up
GPIO3 N/A
GPIO45 Pull-down
GPIO46 Pull-down

To change the strapping bit values, users can apply external pull-down/pull-up resistors, or use host MCU GPIOs
to control the voltage level of these pins when powering on ESP32-S3. After the reset is released, the strapping
pins work as normal-function pins.

Note:
The following section provides description of the chip functions and the pattern of the strapping pins values to invoke
each function. Only documented patterns should be used. If some pattern is not documented, it may trigger unexpected
behavior.

8 Chip Boot Control GoBack

8.2 Boot Mode Control

GPIO0 and GPIO46 control the boot mode after the reset is released.

Table 8­2. Boot Mode Control

Boot Mode GPIO0 GPIO46

SPI Boot 1 x
Download Boot 0 0

Table 8-2 shows the strapping pin values of GPIO0 and GPIO46, and the associated boot modes. “x” means
that this value is ignored. The ESP32-S3 chip only supports the two boot modes listed above. The strapping
combination of GPIO0 = 0 and GPIO46 = 1 is not supported and will trigger unexpected behavior.

In SPI Boot mode, the CPU boots the system by reading the program stored in SPI flash. SPI Boot mode can be
further classified as follows:

• Normal Flash Boot: supports Security Boot and programs run in RAM.

• Direct Boot: does not support Security Boot and programs run directly in flash. To enable this mode, make
sure that the first two words of the bin file downloading to flash (address: 0x42000000) are 0xaedb041d.

In Download Boot mode, users can download code to flash using UART0 or USB interface. It is also possible to
load a program into SRAM and execute it in this mode.

The following eFuses control boot mode behaviors:

• EFUSE_DIS_FORCE_DOWNLOAD

If this eFuse is 0 (default), software can force switch the chip from SPI Boot mode to Download Boot mode
by setting register RTC_CNTL_FORCE_DOWNLOAD_BOOT and triggering a CPU reset. If this eFuse is 1,
RTC_CNTL_FORCE_DOWNLOAD_BOOT is disabled.

• EFUSE_DIS_DOWNLOAD_MODE

If this eFuse is 1, Download Boot mode is disabled.

• EFUSE_ENABLE_SECURITY_DOWNLOAD

If this eFuse is 1, Download Boot mode only allows reading, writing, and erasing plaintext flash and does
not support any SRAM or register operations. Ignore this eFuse if Download Boot mode is disabled.

USB Serial/JTAG Controller can also force the chip into Download Boot mode from SPI Boot mode, as well as
force the chip into SPI Boot mode from Download Boot mode. For detailed information, please refer to Chapter
33 USB Serial/JTAG Controller (USB_SERIAL_JTAG).

8.3 ROM Messages Printing Control

During the boot process, ROM messages are printed to both UART0 and USB Serial/JTAG controller by default.
The printing to UART0 or USB Serial/JTAG controller can be disabled in various boot modes or
configuration.

Printing to UART0 is controlled as described in the table below.

The value of RTC_CNTL_RTC_STORE4_REG[0] can be read and written any number of times, whereas eFuse can only be
burned once. Therefore, RTC_CNTL_RTC_STORE4_REG[0] can be used to temporarily disable ROM messages printing,
while eFuse can be used to permanently disable ROM messages printing.

8.4 VDD_SPI Voltage Control

GPIO45 is used to select the VDD_SPI power supply voltage at reset:

• GPIO45 = 0, VDD_SPI pin is powered directly from VDD3P3_RTC via resistor RSP I . Typically this voltage is

Espressif Systems 518 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
8 Chip Boot Control GoBack

3.3 V. For more information, see Figure: ESP32-S3 Power Scheme in ESP32-S3 Datasheet.

• GPIO45 = 1, VDD_SPI pin is powered from internal 1.8 V LDO.

This functionality can be overridden by setting eFuse bit EFUSE_VDD_SPI_FORCE to 1, in which case the
EFUSE_
VDD_SPI_TIEH determines the VDD_SPI voltage:

• EFUSE_VDD_SPI_TIEH = 0, VDD_SPI connects to 1.8 V LDO.

• EFUSE_VDD_SPI_TIEH = 1, VDD_SPI connects to VDD3P3_RTC.

8.5 JTAG Signal Source Control

GPIO3 controls the source of JTAG signals during the early boot process. This GPIO is used together with
EFUSE_DIS_PAD_JTAG, EFUSE_DIS_USB_JTAG, and EFUSE_STRAP_JTAG_SEL, see Table 8-5.

9 Interrupt Matrix (INTERRUPT) GoBack

9 Interrupt Matrix (INTERRUPT)

9.1 Overview
The interrupt matrix embedded in ESP32-S3 independently allocates peripheral interrupt sources to the two
CPUs’ peripheral interrupts, to timely inform CPU0 or CPU1 to process the interrupts once the interrupt signals
are generated.

Peripheral interrupt sources must be routed to CPU0/CPU1 peripheral interrupts via this interrupt matrix due to
the following considerations:

• ESP32-S3 has 99 peripheral interrupt sources. To map them to 32 CPU0 interrupts or 32 CPU1 interrupts,
this matrix is needed.

• Through this matrix, one peripheral interrupt source can be mapped to multiple CPU0 interrupts or CPU1
interrupts according to application requirements.

9.2 Features
• Accept 99 peripheral interrupt sources as input

• Generate 26 peripheral interrupts to CPU0 and 26 peripheral interrupts to CPU1 as output. Note that the
remaining six CPU0 interrupts and six CPU1 interrupts are internal interrupts.

• Support to disable CPU non-maskable interrupt (NMI) sources

• Support to query current interrupt status of peripheral interrupt sources

Figure 9-1 shows the structure of the interrupt matrix.

Figure 9­1. Interrupt Matrix Structure

All the interrupts generated by the peripheral interrupt sources can be handled by CPU0 or CPU1. Users can
configure CPU0 interrupt registers (“Core0 Interrupt Reg” module in Figure 9-1) to allocate peripheral interrupt
sources to CPU0, or configure CPU1 interrupt registers (“Core1 Interrupt Reg” module in Figure 9-1) to allocate

9 Interrupt Matrix (INTERRUPT) GoBack

peripheral interrupt sources to CPU1. Peripheral interrupt sources can be allocated both to CPU0 and CPU1
simultaneously, if so, CPU0 and CPU1 will accept the interrupts.

9.3 Functional Description

9.3.1 Peripheral Interrupt Sources
ESP32-S3 has 99 peripheral interrupt sources in total. For the peripheral interrupt sources and their
configuration/status registers, please refer to Table 9-1.

• Column “No.”: the peripheral interrupt source number, can be 0 ~ 98

• Column “Source”: all peripheral interrupt sources available

• Column “Configuration Register”: the registers used for routing the peripheral interrupt sources to
CPU0/CPU1 peripheral interrupts

• Column “Status Register”: the registers used for indicating the interrupt status of peripheral interrupt
sources

– Column “Status Register - Bit”: the bit position in status registers

– Column “Status Register - Name”: the name of status registers

The register in column “Configuration Register” and the bit in column “Bit” correspond to the peripheral interrupt
source in column “Source”. For example, the configuration register for interrupt source MAC_INTR is
INTERRUPT_COREx_MAC_INTR_MAP_REG, and its status bit in INTERRUPT_COREx_INTR_STATUS_0_REG is
bit0.

Note that COREx in the table can be CORE0 (CPU0) or CORE1 (CPU1).

9.3.2 CPU Interrupts

Each CPU has 32 interrupts, numbered from 0 ~ 31, including 26 peripheral interrupts and six internal
interrupts.

• Peripheral interrupts: triggered by peripheral interrupt sources, include the following types:

– Level-triggered interrupts: triggered by a high level signal. The interrupt sources should hold the level
till the CPUx handles the interrupts.

– Edge-triggered interrupts: triggered on a rising edge. CPUx responds to this kind of interrupts
immediately.

– NMI interrupt: once triggered, the NMI interrupt can not be masked by software using the CPUx
internal registers. World Controller provides a way to mask this kind of interrupt. For more information,
see Chapter 16 World Controller (WCL).

• Internal interrupts: generated inside CPUx, include the following types:

– Timer interrupts: triggered by internal timers and are used to generate periodic interrupts.

– Software interrupts: triggered when software writes to special registers.

– Profiling interrupt: triggered for performance monitoring and analysis.

Level-triggered and edge-triggered both describe the ways of CPUx to accept interrupt signals. For
level-triggered interrupts, the level of interrupt signal should be kept till the CPU handles the interrupt, otherwise
the interrupt may be lost. For edge-triggered interrupts, when a rising edge is detected, this edge will be
recorded by CPUx, which then allows the interrupt signal to be released.

Interrupt matrix routes the peripheral interrupt sources to any of the CPUx peripheral interrupts. By such way,
CPUx can receive the interrupt signals from peripheral interrupt sources. Table 9-2 lists all the interrupts and their
types as well as priorities.

ESP32-S3 supports the above-mentioned 32 interrupts at six levels as shown in the table below. A higher level
corresponds to a higher priority. NMI has the highest interrupt priority and once triggered, the CPUx must handle
such interrupt. Nested interrupts are also supported, i.e. low-level interrupts can be stopped by high-level
interrupts.

9.3.3 Allocate Peripheral Interrupt Source to CPUx Interrupt

In this section, the following terms are used to describe the operation of the interrupt matrix.

• Source_Y: stands for a peripheral interrupt source, wherein, Y means the number of this interrupt source in
Table 9-1.

• INTERRUPT_COREx_SOURCE_Y_MAP_REG: stands for a configuration register for the peripheral interrupt

source (Source_Y) of CPUx.

• Interrupt_P: stands for the CPUx peripheral interrupt numbered as Num_P. The value of Num_P can be 0 ~
5, 8 ~ 10, 12 ~ 14, 17 ~ 28, and 30 ~ 31. See Table 9-2.

• Interrupt_I: stands for the CPUx internal interrupt numbered as Num_I. The value of Num_I can be 6, 7, 11,
15, 16, and 29. See Table 9-2.

9.3.3.1 Allocate one peripheral interrupt source (Source_Y) to CPUx

Setting the corresponding configuration register INTERRUPT_COREx_SOURCE_Y_MAP_REG of Source_Y to

Num
_P allocates this interrupt source to Interrupt_P. Num_P here can be any value from 0 ~ 5, 8 ~ 10, 12 ~ 14, 17 ~
28, and 30 ~ 31. Note that one CPUx interrupt can be shared by multiple peripherals.

9.3.3.2 Allocate multiple peripheral interrupt sources (Source_Yn) to CPUx

Setting the corresponding configuration register INTERRUPT_COREx_SOURCE_Yn_MAP_REG of each interrupt

source to the same Num_P allocates multiple sources to the same Interrupt_P. Any of these sources can trigger
CPUx Interrupt_P. When an interrupt signal is generated, CPUx checks the interrupt status registers to figure out
which peripheral the signal comes from.

9.3.3.3 Disable CPUx peripheral interrupt source (Source_Y)

Setting the corresponding configuration register INTERRUPT_COREx_SOURCE_Y_MAP_REG of the source to

any Num_I disables this interrupt Source_Y. The choice of Num_I (6, 7, 11, 15, 16, 29) does not matter, as none
of peripheral interrupt sources allocated to Num_I is connected to the CPUx. Therefore this functionality can be
used to disable peripheral interrupt sources.

9.3.4 Disable CPUx NMI Interrupt

All CPUx interrupts, except for NMI interrupt (No.14 in Table 9-2), can be masked and enabled by software using
CPU special register (INTENABLE). NMI interrupt can not be masked by the way above, but ESP32-S3 provides
two ways to mask NMI interrupt:

• Disconnect peripheral interrupt sources from NMI interrupt, i.e. the sources routed to NMI interrupt before
are now routed to other interrupts. By such way, the previous NMI interrupt is maskable.

• Connect peripheral interrupt sources with NMI interrupt, but use World Controller module to mask NMI
interrupt. For more information, see Chapter Chapter 16 World Controller (WCL).

9.3.5 Query Current Interrupt Status of Peripheral Interrupt Source

Users can query current interrupt status of a CPUx peripheral interrupt source by reading the bit value in
INTERRUPT_COREx_INTR_STATUS_n_REG (read only). For the mapping between
INTERRUPT_COREx_INTR_STATUS_
n_REG and peripheral interrupt sources, please refer to Table 9-1.

10 Low­power Management (RTC_CNTL)

10.1 Introduction
ESP32-S3 has an advanced Power Management Unit (PMU), which can flexibly power up different power
domains of the chip, to achieve the best balance among chip performance, power consumption, and wakeup
latency. To simplify power management for typical scenarios, ESP32-S3 has predefined four power modes, which
are preset configurations that power up different combinations of power domains. On top of that, the chip also
allows the users to independently power up any particular power domain to meet more complex requirements.
ESP32-S3 has integrated two Ultra-Low-Power coprocessors (ULP co-processors), which allow the chip to work
when most of the power domains are powered down, thus achieving extremely low-power consumption.

10.2 Features
ESP32-S3’s low-power management supports the following features:

• Four predefined power modes to simplify power management for typical scenarios

• Up to 16 KB of retention memory (slow memory and fast memory)

• 8 x 32-bit retention registers

• RTC Boot supported for reduced wakeup latency

• ULP co-processors supported in all power modes

In this chapter, we first introduce the working process of ESP32-S3’s low-power management, then introduce
the predefined power modes of the chip, and at last, introduce the RTC boot of the chip.

10.3 Functional Description

ESP32-S3’s low-power management involves the following components:

• Power management unit: controls the power supply to three power domain categories

– Real Time Controller (RTC)

– Digital

– Analog

For a complete list of 10 power domains grouped in these three power domain categories, see Section
10.4.1.

• Power isolation unit: isolates different power domains, so powered up and powered down domains do not
affect each other.

• Low-power clocks: provide clocks to power domains working in low-power modes.

• Timers:

– RTC timer: logs the status of the RTC main state machine in dedicated registers.

– ULP timer: wakes up the ULP co-processors at a predefined time. For details, please refer to Chapter
2 ULP Coprocessor (ULP-FSM, ULP-RISC-V).

Espressif Systems 546 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
10 Low-power Management (RTC_CNTL) GoBack

– Touch sensor timer: wakes up the touch sensor at a predefined time. For details, please refer to
Chapter 39 On-Chip Sensors and Analog Signal Processing.

• 8 x 32-bit “always-on” retention registers: These registers are always powered up and are not affected by
any low-power modes, thus can be used for storing data that cannot be lost.

• 22 x “always-on” pins: These pins are always powered up and not affected by any low-power modes. They
can be used as wakeup sources when the chip is working in the low-power modes (for details, please refer
to Section 10.4.4), or can be used as regular GPIOs (for details, please refer to Chapter 6 IO MUX and GPIO
Matrix (GPIO, IO MUX)).

• RTC slow memory: 8 KB SRAM that works under RTC fast clock (rtc_fast_clk), which can be used as
extended memory or to store ULP co-processor directives and data.

• RTC fast memory: 8 KB SRAM that works under CPU clock (CPU_CLK), which can be used as extended
memory.

• Voltage regulators: regulate the power supply to different power domains.

The schematic diagram of ESP32-S3’s low-power management is shown in Figure 10-1.

10.3.1 Power Management Unit

ESP32-S3’s power management unit controls the power supply to different power domains. The main
components of the power management unit include:

• RTC main state machine: generates power gating, clock gating, and reset signals.

• Power controllers: power up and power down different power domains, according to the power gating
signals from the main state machine.

Espressif Systems 548 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
10 Low-power Management (RTC_CNTL) GoBack

• Sleep / wakeup controllers: send sleep or wakeup requests to the RTC main state machine.

• Clock controller: selects and powers up / down clock sources. ESP32-S3

• Protection Timer: controls the transition interval between main state machine states.

In ESP32-S3’s power management unit, the sleep / wakeup controllers send sleep or wakeup requests to the
RTC main state machine, which then generates power gating, clock gating, and reset signals. Then, the power
controller and clock controller power up and power down different power domains and clock sources, according
to the signals generated by the RTC main state machine, so that the chip enters or exits the low-power modes.
The main workflow is shown in Figure 10-2.

10.3.2 Low­Power Clocks

In general, ESP32-S3 powers down its external crystal XTAL_CLK and PLL to reduce power consumption when
working in low-power modes. During this time, the chip’s low-power clocks remain on to provide clocks to
different power domains, such as the power management unit, RTC peripherals, RTC fast memory, RTC slow

10.3.3 Timers
ESP32-S3’s low-power management uses 3 timers:

• RTC timer

• ULP timer

• Touch timer

This section only introduces the RTC timer. For detailed description of ULP timer, please refer to Chapters 2 ULP
Coprocessor (ULP-FSM, ULP-RISC-V). For detailed description of touch timer, please refer to Chapters 39
On-Chip Sensors and Analog Signal Processing.

The readable 48-bit RTC timer is a real-time counter (using RTC slow clock) that can be configured to log the
time when one of the following events happens. For details, see Table 10-2.

Table 10­2. The Triggering Conditions for the RTC Timer

RTC_REG_TIME_UPDATE
CPU (i.e. users).

The RTC timer updates two groups of registers upon any new trigger. The first group logs the time of the current
trigger, and the other logs the previous trigger. Detailed information about these two register groups is shown
below:

• Register group 0: logs the status of RTC timer at the current trigger.

Espressif Systems 551 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
10 Low-power Management (RTC_CNTL) GoBack

– RTC_CNTL_RTC_TIME_HIGH0_REG

– RTC_CNTL_RTC_TIME_LOW0_REG

• Register group 1: logs the status of RTC timer at the previous trigger.

– RTC_CNTL_RTC_TIME_HIGH1_REG

– RTC_CNTL_RTC_TIME_LOW1_REG

On a new trigger, information on previous trigger is moved from register group 0 to register group 1 (and the
original trigger logged in register group 1 is overwritten), and this new trigger is logged in register group 0.
Therefore, only the last two triggers can be logged at any time.

It should be noted that any reset / sleep other than power-up reset will not stop or reset the RTC timer.

Also, the RTC timer can be used as a wakeup source. For details, see Section 10.4.4.

10.3.4 Voltage Regulators

ESP32-S3 has three voltage regulators to regulate the power supply to different power domains:

• Digital voltage regulator for digital power domains;

• Low-power voltage regulator for RTC power domains;

• Flash voltage regulator for the rest of power domains.

Note:
For a full list of power domains, please refer to Section 10.4.1.

10.3.4.1 Digital Voltage Regulator

ESP32-S3’s built-in digital voltage regulator converts the external power supply (typically 3.3 V) to 1.1 V for digital
power domains. This regulator is controlled by xpd_dig_reg (see details in Figure 10-1). For the architecture of
the ESP32-S3 digital voltage regulator, see Figure 10-5.

10.3.4.2 Low­power Voltage Regulator

ESP32-S3’s built-in low-power voltage regulator converts the external power supply (typically 3.3 V) to 1.1 V for
RTC power domains. When the pin CHIP_PU is at a high level, the RTC domain is always-on. The low power
voltage regulator is off when chip enters Light-sleep and Deep-sleep modes. In this case, the RTC domain is
powered by an ultra low-power built-in power supply (This power supply cannot be turned off). For the
architecture of the ESP32-S3 low-power voltage regulator, see Figure 10-1.

ESP32-S3’s built-in flash voltage regulator can supply a voltage of 3.3 V or 1.8 V to other components outside of
digital and RTC, such as flash. For the architecture of the ESP32-S3 flash voltage regulator, see Figure

• 1: the voltage regulator outputs a voltage of 3.3 V or 1.8 V;

• 0: the voltage regulator outputs high-impedance. In this case, the voltage is provided by the external
power supply.

2. Configure SDIO_TIEH to choose between 3.3 V or 1.8 V:

• 1: the voltage regulator shorts pin VDD_SPI to pin VDD3P3_RTC, and outputs a voltage of 3.3 V,
which is the voltage of pin VDD3P3_RTC.

• 0: the voltage regulator outputs the reference voltage VREF, which is typically 1.8V.

The signals mentioned above can be configured as below:

• The configuration of XPD_SDIO_REG:

– When the chip is in active mode, RTC_CNTL_SDIO_FORCE == 0 and EFUSE_VDD_SPI_FORCE ==

This diagram applies for ESP32-C3 and ESP32-S3
1, the XPD_SDIO_REG voltage is defined by EFUSE_VDD_SPI_XPD;

– When the chip is in sleep modes and RTC_CNTL_SDIO_REG_PD_EN == 1, XPD_SDIO_REG is 0;

– When RTC_CNTL_SDIO_FORCE == 1, XPD_SDIO_REG is defined by RTC_CNTL_XPD_SDIO_REG.

• The configuration of SDIO_TIEH:

– When RTC_CNTL_SDIO_FORCE== 0 and EFUSE_VDD_SPI_FORCE == 1, SDIO_TIEH =

EFUSE_VDD_SPI_TIEH

– Otherwise, SDIO_TIEH = RTC_CNTL_SDIO_TIEH.

10.3.4.4 Brownout Detector

The brownout detector checks the voltage of pins VDD3P3, VDD3P3_RTC and VDD3P3_CPU. If the voltage of
these pins drops below the predefined threshold (2.7 V by default), 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 to save and
transfer important data.

The brownout detector has ultra-low power consumption and remains enabled whenever the chip is powered up.
For the architecture of the ESP32-S3 brownout detector, see Figure 10-8.

RTC_CNTL_RTC_BROWN_OUT_DET indicates the output level of brown-out detector. This register is low level
by default, and outputs high level when the voltage of the detected pin drops below the predefined

Under different RTC states, different power domains are powered up or down by default, but can also be
force-powered-up (FPU) or force-powered-down (FPD) individually based on actual requirements. For details,
please refer to Table 10-3.

RTC slow memory supports 8 KB SRAM, which can be used to reserve memory or to
store ULP instructions and / or data. This memory (starting address is 0x5000_0000)
can be accessed by CPU via PIF bus, and should be force-power-on. RTC slow mem-
ory is always OFF under the RTC state of Monitor with only one exception when the
ULP coprocessor is working.
2
RTC fast memory supports 8 KB SRAM, which can be used to reserve memory. This
memory can be accessed by CPU via IRAM0 / DRAM0, and should be forced-power-
up.
3
ESP32-S3’s power management unit is specially designed to be “always-on”, which
means it is always on when the chip is powered up. Therefore, users cannot FPU or
FPD the power management unit.
4
The RTC peripherals include 2 ULP Coprocessor (ULP-FSM, ULP-RISC-V) and 39 On-
Chip Sensors and Analog Signal Processing (i.e. temperature sensor controller and SAR
ADC controller).
5
CPU can be powered down separately in light-sleep, but retention DMA is required to
resume CPU.
6
Power domain Wireless digital circuits includes Wi-Fi MAC, BT and BB (Base Band).
7
When the digital core of the digital is powered down, all components in the digital are
turned off. It’s worth noting that, ESP32-S3’s ROM and SRAM are no longer controlled
as independent power domains, thus cannot be force-powered-up or force-powered-
down when the digital core is powered down.

10.4.3 Pre­defined Power Modes

As mentioned earlier, ESP32-S3 has four power modes, which are predefined configurations that power up
different combinations of power domains. For details, please refer to Table 10-4.

Configurable.

By default, ESP32-S3 first enters the Active mode after system resets, then enters different low-power modes
(including Modem-sleep, Light-sleep, and Deep-sleep) to save power after the CPU stalls for a specific time (For
example, when CPU is waiting to be wakened up by an external event). From modes Active to Deep-sleep, the
number of available functionalities1 and power consumption2 decreases and wakeup latency increases. Also, the
supported wakeup sources for different power modes are different3 . Users can choose a power mode based on
their requirements of performance, power consumption, wakeup latency, and available wakeup sources.

Note:

1. For details, please refer to Table 10-4.

2. For details on power consumption, please refer to the Current Consumption Characteristics in ESP32-S3 Datasheet.

3. For details on the supported wakeup sources, please refer to Section 10.4.4.

10.4.4 Wakeup Source

The ESP32-S3 supports various wakeup sources, which could wake up the CPU in different sleep modes. The
wakeup source is determined by RTC_CNTL_RTC_WAKEUP_ENA as shown in Table 10-5.

Note:

1. EXT0 can only wake up the chip from Light-sleep / Deep-sleep modes. If RTC_CNTL_EXT_WAKEUP0_LV is 1,
it’s triggered when the pin level is high. Otherwise, it’s triggered when the pin level is low. Users can configure
RTCIO_EXT_WAKEUP0_SEL to select an RTC pin as a wakeup source.

2. EXT1 is especially designed to wake up the chip from any sleep modes, and can be triggered by a combina-
tion of pins. Users should define the combination of wakeup sources by configuring RTC_CNTL_EXT_WAKEUP1
_SEL[17:0] according to the bitmap of selected wakeup source. When RTC_CNTL_EXT_WAKEUP1_LV == 1, the
chip is waken up if any pin in the combination is high level. When RTC_CNTL_EXT_WAKEUP1_LV == 0, the chip
is only waken up if all pins in the combination is low level.

3. In Deep-sleep mode, only the RTC GPIOs (not regular GPIOs) can work as a wakeup source.

4. To wake up the chip with a Wi-Fi source, the chip switches between the Active, Modem-sleep, and Light-sleep
modes. The CPU and RF modules are woken up at predetermined intervals to keep Wi-Fi connections active.

5. A wakeup is triggered when the number of RX pulses received exceeds the setting in the threshold register.

6. A wakeup is triggered when any touch event is detected by the touch sensor.

7. A wakeup is triggered when RTC_CNTL_RTC_SW_CPU_INT is configured by the ULP co-processor.

8. When the 32 kHz crystal is working as RTC slow clock, a wakeup is triggered upon any detection of any crystal
stops by the 32 kHz watchdog timer.

9. A wakeup is triggered when the ULP co-processor starts capturing exceptions (e.g., stack overflow).

10.4.5 Reject Sleep

ESP32-S3 implements a hardware mechanism that equips the chip with the ability to reject to sleep, which
prevents the chip from going to sleep unexpectedly when some peripherals are still working but not detected by
the CPU, thus guaranteeing the proper functioning of the peripherals.

Espressif Systems 560 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
10 Low-power Management (RTC_CNTL) GoBack

All the wakeup sources specified in Table 10-5 can also be configured as the causes to reject sleep.

Users can configure the reject to sleep option via the following registers.

• Configure the RTC_CNTL_RTC_SLEEP_REJECT_ENA field to enable or disable the option to reject to

sleep:

– Set RTC_CNTL_LIGHT_SLP_REJECT_EN to enable reject-to-light-sleep.

– Set RTC_CNTL_DEEP_SLP_REJECT_EN to enable reject-to-deep-sleep.

• Read RTC_CNTL_SLP_REJECT_CAUSE_REG to check the reason for rejecting to sleep.

10.5 Retention DMA

ESP32-S3 can power off the CPU in the Light-sleep mode to further reduce the power consumption. To facilitate
the CPU to wake up from Light-sleep and resume execution from the previous breakpoint, ESP32-S3 introduced
a retention DMA.

ESP32-S3’s retention DMA stores CPU information to the Internal SRAM Block2 to Block8 before CPU enters
into sleep, and restore such information from Internal SRAM to CPU after CPU wakes up from sleep, thus
enabling the CPU to resume execution from the previous breakpoint.

ESP32-S3’s Retention DMA:

• Retention DMA operates on date of 128 bits, and only supports address alignment of four words.

• Retention DMA’s link list is specifically designed that it can be used to execute both write and read
transactions. The configuration of Retention DMA is similar to that of GDMA:

1. First allocate enough memory in SRAM before CPU enters sleep to store 432 words*: CPU registers
(428 words) and configuration information (4 words).

2. Then configure the link list according to the memory allocated in the first step. See details in Chapter 3
GDMA Controller (GDMA).

Note:
* Note that if the memory allocated is smaller than 432 words, then chip can only enter the Light-sleep mode and
cannot further power down CPU.

After configuration, users can enable the Retention function by configuring the RTC_CNTL_RETENTION_EN field
in Register RTC_CNTL_RETENTION_CTRL_REG to:

• Use Retention DMA to store CPU information before the chip enters sleep

• Restore information from Retention DMA to CPU after CPU wakes up.

10.6 RTC Boot

The wakeup time from Deep-sleep mode is much longer, compared to Light-sleep and Modem-sleep modes,
because the ROMs and RAMs are both powered down in this case, and the CPU needs more time for SPI
booting (data-copying from the flash). However, it’s worth noting that both RTC fast memory and RTC slow
memory remain powered up in the Deep-sleep mode. Therefore, users can store codes (so called “deep sleep
wake stub” of up to 8 KB) either in RTC fast memory or RTC slow memory, which doesn’t require the
above-mentioned SPI booting, thus speeding up the wakeup process.

Method one: Boot using RTC slow memory

1. Set RTC_CNTL_PROCPU_STAT_VECTOR_SEL to 0.

2. Send the chip into sleep.

3. After the CPU is powered up, the reset vector starts resetting from 0x50000000 instead of 0x40000400,
which does not involve any SPI booting. The codes stored in RTC slow memory starts running immediately
after the CPU reset. The code stored in the RTC slow memory only needs to be partially initialized in a C
environment.

Method two: Boot using RTC fast memory

1. Set RTC_CNTL_PROCPU_STAT_VECTOR_SEL to 1.

2. Calculate CRC for the RTC fast memory, and save the result in RTC_CNTL_RTC_STORE7_REG[31:0].

3. Set RTC_CNTL_RTC_STORE6_REG[31:0] to the entry address of RTC fast memory.

4. Send the chip into sleep.

5. ROM unpacking and some of the initialization starts after the CPU is powered up. After that, the CRC for
the RTC fast memory will be calculated again. If the result matches with register
RTC_CNTL_RTC_STORE7_REG[31:0], the CPU jumps to the entry address.

The boot flow is shown in Figure 10-11.

RTC_CNTL_RTC_RDY_FOR_WAKEUP Indicates the RTC is ready to be triggered by any wakeup

source. (RO)

RTC_CNTL_MAIN_STATE_IN_IDLE Indicates the RTC state.

• 0: the chip can be either

– in sleep modes.

– entering sleep modes. In this case, wait until RTC_CNTL_RTC_RDY_FOR_WAKEUP bit

is set, then you can wake up the chip.

– exiting sleep mode. In this case, RTC_CNTL_MAIN_STATE_IN_IDLE will eventually be-

come 1.

• 1: the chip is not in sleep modes (i.e. running normally).

11 System Timer (SYSTIMER)

11.1 Overview
ESP32-S3 provides a 52-bit timer, which can be used to generate tick interrupts for operating system, or be
used as a general timer to generate periodic interrupts or one-time interrupts. With the help of RTC timer, system
timer can account for the period of the ESP32-S3 being in Light-sleep or Deep-sleep.

The timer consists of two counters UNIT0 and UNIT1. The counter values can be monitored by three
comparators COMP0, COMP1 and COMP2. See the timer block diagram on Figure 11-1.

Figure 11­1. System Timer Structure

11.2 Features
• Consist of two 52-bit counters and three 52-bit comparators

• Software accessing registers is clocked by APB_CLK

• Use CNT_CLK for counting, with an average frequency of 16 MHz in two counting cycles

• Use 40 MHz XTAL_CLK as the clock source of CNT_CLK

• Support for 52-bit alarm values (t) and 26-bit alarm periods (δt)

• Provide two modes to generate alarms:

– Target mode: only a one-time alarm is generated based on the alarm value (t)

– Period mode: periodic alarms are generated based on the alarm period (δt)

• Three comparators can generate three independent interrupts based on configured alarm value (t) or alarm
period (δt)

• Load back sleep time recorded by RTC timer via software after Deep-sleep or Light-sleep

• Can be configured to stall or continue running when CPU stalls or enters on-chip-debugging mode

11.3 Clock Source Selection

The counters and comparators are driven using XTAL_CLK. After scaled by a fractional divider, a fXT AL_CLK /3
clock is generated in one count cycle and a fXT AL_CLK /2 clock in another count cycle. The average clock
frequency is fXT AL_CLK /2.5, which is 16 MHz, i.e. the CNT_CLK in Figure 11-2. The timer counting is
incremented by 1/16 µs on each CNT_CLK cycle.

Software operation such as configuring registers is clocked by APB_CLK. For more information about APB_CLK,
see Chapter 7 Reset and Clock.

The following two bits of system registers are also used to control the system timer:

• SYSTEM_SYSTIMER_CLK_EN in register SYSTEM_PERIP_CLK_EN0_REG: enable APB_CLK signal to

system timer.

• SYSTEM_SYSTIMER_RST in register SYSTEM_PERIP_RST_EN0_REG: reset system timer.

Note that if the timer is reset, its registers will be restored to their default values. For more information, please
refer to Table Peripheral Clock Gating and Reset in Chapter 17 System Registers (SYSTEM).

11.4 Functional Description

Figure 11­2. System Timer Alarms

Figure 11-2 shows the procedure to generate alarm/interrupt in system timer. In this process, one timer counter
and one timer comparator are used. An alarm interrupt will be generated accordingly based on the comparison
result in comparator.

11.4.1 Counter
The system timer has two 52-bit timer counters, shown as UNITn (n = 0 or 1). Their counting clock source is a 16
MHz clock, i.e. CNT_CLK. Whether UNITn works or not is controlled by three bits in register
SYSTIMER_CONF_REG:

• SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_WORK_EN: set this bit to enable the counter UNITn in system timer.

• SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_CORE0_STALL_EN: if this bit is set, the counter UNITn stops counting when
CPU0 is stalled. The counter continues its counting after the CPU0 resumes.

• SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_CORE1_STALL_EN: if this bit is set, the counter UNITn stops counting when
CPU1 is stalled. The counter continues its counting after the CPU1 resumes.

Submit Documentation Feedback
11 System Timer (SYSTIMER) GoBack

The configuration of the three bits to control the counter UNITn is shown below, assuming that CPU0 and CPU1
both are stalled.

Table 11­1. UNITn Configuration Bits

SYSTIMER_TIMER_ SYSTIMER_TIMER_ SYSTIMER_TIMER_ Counter

UNITn_WORK_EN UNITn_CORE0_STALL_EN UNITn_CORE1_STALL_EN UNITn
*
0 x x Not at work
Stop counting, but will
1 x 1 continue its counting
after CPU1 resumes.
Stop counting, but will
1 1 x continue its counting
after CPU0 resumes.
1 0 0 Keep counting
*
x: Don’t-care.

When the counter UNITn is at work, the count value is incremented on each counting cycle. When the counter
UNITn is stopped or stalled, the count value stops increasing and keeps unchanged.

The low 32 bits and high 20 bits of initial count value are loaded from SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_LOAD_LO and
SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_LOAD_HI. Writing 1 to the bit SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_LOAD will trigger a reload
event, and the current count value will be changed immediately. If UNITn is at work, the counter will continue to
count up from the new reloaded value.

Writing 1 to SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_UPDATE will trigger an update event. The low 32 bits and high 20 bits of
current count value will be locked into SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_VALUE_LO and
SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_VALUE_HI, and then SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_VALUE_VALID is asserted. Before
the next update event, the values of SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_VALUE_LO and
SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_VALUE_HI remain unchanged.

11.4.2 Comparator and Alarm

The system timer has three 52-bit comparators, shown as COMPx (x = 0, 1, or 2). The comparators can
generate independent interrupts based on different alarm values (t) or alarm periods (δt).

Configure SYSTIMER_TARGETx_PERIOD_MODE to choose from the two alarm modes for each COMPx:

• 1: select period mode

• 0: select target mode

In period mode, the alarm period (δt) is provided by the register SYSTIMER_TARGETx_PERIOD. Assuming that
current count value is t1, when it reaches (t1 + δt), an alarm interrupt will be generated. Another alarm interrupt
also will be generated when the counter value reaches (t1 + 2*δt). By such way, periodic alarms are
generated.

In target mode, the low 32 bits and high 20 bits of the alarm value (t) are provided by
SYSTIMER_TIMER_TARGETx_LO and SYSTIMER_TIMER_TARGETx_HI. Assuming that current count value is t2
(t2 <= t), an alarm interrupt will be generated when the count value reaches the alarm value (t). Unlike in period
mode, only one alarm interrupt is generated in target mode.

Espressif Systems 615 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

11 System Timer (SYSTIMER) GoBack

SYSTIMER_TARGETx_TIMER_UNIT_SEL is used to choose the count value from which timer counter to be
compared for alarm:

• 1: use the count value from UNIT1

• 0: use the count value from UNIT0

Finally, set SYSTIMER_TARGETx_WORK_EN and COMPx starts to compare the count value with the alarm value
(t) in target mode or with the alarm period (t1 + n*δt) in period mode.

An alarm is generated when the count value equals to the alarm value (t) in target mode or to the start value(t1) +
n*alarm period δt (n = 1,2,3...) in period mode. But if the alarm value (t) set in registers is less than current count
value, i.e. the target has already passed, or current count value is larger than the real target value within a range
(0 ~ 251 -1), an alarm interrupt also is generated immediately. The relationship between current count value tc , the
alarm value tt and alarm trigger point is shown below. No matter in target mode or period mode, the low 32 bits
and high 20 bits of the real target value can always be read from SYSTIMER_TARGETx_LO_RO and
SYSTIMER_TARGETx_HI_RO.

Table 11­2. Trigger Point

Relationship Between tc and tt Trigger Point

tc - tt <= 0 tc = tt , an alarm is triggered.
51
0 <= tc - tt < 2 -1 An alarm is triggered immediately.
51 51
( tc < 2 and tt < 2 ,
or tc >= 251 and tt >= 251 )
tc overflows after counting to its maximum value
51
tc - tt >= 2 -1 52’hfffffffffffff, and then starts counting up from 0.
When its value reaches tt , an alarm is triggered.

11.4.3 Synchronization Operation

The clock APB_CLK is used in software operation, while timer counters and comparators are working on
CNT_CLK. Synchronization is needed for some configuration registers. A complete synchronization action takes
two steps:

1. Software writes suitable values to configuration fields, see the first column in Table 11-3.

2. Software writes 1 to corresponding bits to start synchronization, see the second column in Table 11-3.

11.4.4 Interrupt
Each comparator has one level-triggered alarm interrupt, named as SYSTIMER_TARGETx_INT. Interrupt signal is
asserted high when the comparator starts to alarm. Until the interrupt is cleared by software, it remains high. To
enable interrupts, set the bit SYSTIMER_TARGETx_INT_ENA.

11.5 Programming Procedure

11.5.1 Read Current Count Value
1. Set SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_UPDATE to update the current count value into SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_
VALUE_HI and SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_VALUE_LO.

2. Poll the reading of SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_VALUE_VALID, till it’s 1, which means user now can read the
count values from SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_VALUE_HI and SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_VALUE_LO.

3. Read the low 32 bits and high 20 bits from SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_VALUE_LO and SYSTIMER_TIMER_
UNITn_VALUE_HI.

11.5.2 Configure One­Time Alarm in Target Mode

1. Set SYSTIMER_TARGETx_TIMER_UNIT_SEL to select the counter (UNIT0 or UNIT1) used for COMPx.

2. Read current count value, see Section 11.5.1. This value will be used to calculate the alarm value (t) in Step
4.

3. Clear SYSTIMER_TARGETx_PERIOD_MODE to enable target mode.

4. Set an alarm value (t), and fill its low 32 bits to SYSTIMER_TIMER_TARGETx_LO, and the high 20 bits to
SYSTIMER_TIMER_TARGETx_HI.

5. Set SYSTIMER_TIMER_COMPx_LOAD to synchronize the alarm value to COMPx, i.e. load the alarm value
(t) to the COMPx.

6. Set SYSTIMER_TARGETx_WORK_EN to enable the selected COMPx. COMPx starts comparing the count
value with the alarm value (t).

7. Set SYSTIMER_TARGETx_INT_ENA to enable timer interrupt. When Unitn counts to the alarm value (t), a
SYSTIMER_TARGETx_INT interrupt is triggered.

11.5.3 Configure Periodic Alarms in Period Mode

1. Set SYSTIMER_TARGETx_TIMER_UNIT_SEL to select the counter (UNIT0 or UNIT1) used for COMPx.

2. Set a alarm period (δt), and fill it to SYSTIMER_TARGETx_PERIOD.

3. Set SYSTIMER_TIMER_COMPx_LOAD to synchronize the alarm period (δt) to COMPx. , i.e. load the alarm
period (δt) to COMPx.

4. Set SYSTIMER_TARGETx_PERIOD_MODE to configure COMPx into period mode.

5. Set SYSTIMER_TARGETx_WORK_EN to enable the selected COMPx. COMPx starts comparing the count
value with the sum of start value + n*δt (n = 1, 2, 3...).

6. Set SYSTIMER_TARGETx_INT_ENA to enable timer interrupt. A SYSTIMER_TARGETx_INT interrupt is

triggered when Unitn counts to start value + n*δt (n = 1, 2, 3...) set in step 2.

11.5.4 Update After Deep­sleep and Light­sleep

1. Configure RTC timer before the chip goes to Deep-sleep or Light-sleep, to record the exact sleep time. For
more information, see Chapter 10 Low-power Management (RTC_CNTL).

2. Read the sleep time from RTC timer when the chip is woken up from Deep-sleep or Light-sleep.

3. Read current count value of system timer, see Section 11.5.1.

4. Convert the time value recorded by RTC timer from the clock cycles based on RTC_SLOW_CLK to that
based on 16 MHz CNT_CLK. For example, if the frequency of RTC_SLOW_CLK is 32 KHz, the recorded
RTC timer value should be converted by multiplying by 500.

5. Add the converted RTC value to current count value of system timer:

• Fill the new value into SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_LOAD_LO (low 32 bits) and

SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_LOAD_HI (high 20 bits).

• Set SYSTIMER_TIMER_UNITn_LOAD to load new timer value into system timer. By such way, the
system timer is updated.

12 Timer Group (TIMG)

12.1 Overview
General purpose timers can be used to precisely time an interval, trigger an interrupt after a particular interval
(periodically and aperiodically), or act as a hardware clock. As shown in Figure 12-1, the ESP32-S3 chip contains
two timer groups, namely timer group 0 and timer group 1. Each timer group consists of two general purpose
timers referred to as Tx (where x is 0 or 1) and one Main System Watchdog Timer. All general purpose timers are
based on 16-bit prescalers and 54-bit auto-reload-capable up-down counters.

Figure 12­1. Timer Units within Groups

Note that while the Main System Watchdog Timer registers are described in this chapter, their functional
description is included in the Chapter 13 Watchdog Timers (WDT). Therefore, the term ‘timers’ within this chapter
refers to the general purpose timers.

The timers’ features are summarized as follows:

• A 16-bit clock prescaler, from 2 to 65536

• A 54-bit time-base counter programmable to incrementing or decrementing

• Able to read real-time value of the time-base counter

• Halting and resuming the time-base counter

• Programmable alarm generation

• Timer value reload (Auto-reload at alarm or software-controlled instant reload)

• Level interrupt generation

12.2 Functional Description

Figure 12­2. Timer Group Architecture

Figure12-2 is a diagram of timer Tx in a timer group. Tx contains a clock selector, a 16-bit integer divider as a
prescaler, a timer-based counter and a comparator for alarm generation.

12.2.1 16­bit Prescaler and Clock Selection

Each timer can select between the APB clock (APB_CLK) or external clock (XTAL_CLK) as its clock source by
setting the TIMG_Tx_USE_XTAL field of the TIMG_TxCONFIG_REG register. The clock is then divided by a 16-bit
prescaler to generate the time-base counter clock (TB_CLK) used by the time-base counter. When the
TIMG_Tx_DIVIDER field is configured as 2 ~ 65536, the divisor of the prescaler would be 2 ~ 65536. Note that
programming value 0 to TIMG_Tx_DIVIDER will result in the divisor being 65536. When the prescaler is set to 1,
the actual divisor is 2, so the timer counter value represents the half of real time.

Before you modify the 16-bit prescaler, the timer must be disabled (i.e. TIMG_Tx_EN should be cleared).
Otherwise, the result can be unpredictable.

12.2.2 54­bit Time­base Counter

The 54-bit time-base counters are based on TB_CLK and can be configured to increment or decrement via the
TIMG_Tx_INCREASE field. The time-base counter can be enabled or disabled by setting or clearing the
TIMG_Tx_EN field, respectively. When enabled, the time-base counter increments or decrements on each cycle
of TB_CLK. When disabled, the time-base counter is essentially frozen. Note that the TIMG_Tx_INCREASE field
can be changed while TIMG_Tx_EN is set and this will cause the time-base counter to change direction
instantly.

To read the 54-bit value of the time-base counter, the timer value must be latched to two registers before being
read by the CPU (due to the CPU being 32-bit). By writing any value to the TIMG_TxUPDATE_REG, the current
value of the 54-bit timer is instantly latched into the TIMG_TxLO_REG and TIMG_TxHI_REG registers containing
the lower 32-bits and higher 22-bits, respectively. TIMG_TxLO_REG and TIMG_TxHI_REG registers will remain
unchanged for the CPU to read in its own time until TIMG_TxUPDATE_REG is written to again.

12.2.3 Alarm Generation

A timer can be configured to trigger an alarm when the timer’s current value matches the alarm value. An alarm
will cause an interrupt to occur and (optionally) an automatic reload of the timer’s current value (see Section
12.2.4). The 54-bit alarm value is configured using TIMG_TxALARMLO_REG and TIMG_TxALARMHI_REG,
which represent the lower 32-bits and higher 22-bits of the alarm value, respectively. However, the configured

12 Timer Group (TIMG) GoBack

alarm value is ineffective until the alarm is enabled by setting the TIMG_Tx_ALARM_EN field. To avoid alarm being
enabled ‘too late’ (i.e. the timer value has already passed the alarm value when the alarm is enabled), the
hardware will trigger the alarm immediately if the current timer value is higher than the alarm value (within a
defined range) when the up-down counter increments, or lower than the alarm value (within a defined range) of
when the up-down counter decrements. Table 12-1 and Table 12-2 show the relationship between the current
value of the timer, the alarm value, and when an alarm is triggered.The current time value and the alarm value are
defined as follows:

• TIMG_VALUE = {TIMG_TxHI_REG, TIMG_TxLO_REG}

• ALARM_VALUE = {TIMG_TxALARMHI_REG, TIMG_TxALARMLO_REG}

Triggered
Triggered when the up-down counter restarts
counting down from the timer’s maximum value
8 ALARM_VALUE − TIMG_VALUE ≥ 253
after reaching the minimum value and counts

When an alarm occurs, the TIMG_Tx_ALARM_EN field is automatically cleared and no alarm will occur again until
the TIMG_Tx_ALARM_EN is set next time.

12.2.4 Timer Reload

A timer is reloaded when a timer’s current value is overwritten with a reload value stored in the
TIMG_Tx_LOAD_LO and TIMG_Tx_LOAD_HI fields that correspond to the lower 32-bits and higher 22-bits of the
timer’s new value, respectively. However, writing a reload value to TIMG_Tx_LOAD_LO and TIMG_Tx_LOAD_HI
will not cause the timer’s current value to change. Instead, the reload value is ignored by the timer until a reload
event occurs. A reload event can be triggered either by a software instant reload or an auto-reload at
alarm.

Espressif Systems 635 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
12 Timer Group (TIMG) GoBack

A software instant reload is triggered by the CPU writing any value to TIMG_TxLOAD_REG, which causes the
timer’s current value to be instantly reloaded. If TIMG_Tx_EN is set, the timer will continue incrementing or
decrementing from the new value. If TIMG_Tx_EN is cleared, the timer will remain frozen at the new value until
counting is re-enabled.

An auto-reload at alarm will cause a timer reload when an alarm occurs, thus allowing the timer to continue
incrementing or decrementing from the reload value. This is generally useful for resetting the timer’s value when
using periodic alarms. To enable auto-reload at alarm, the TIMG_Tx_AUTORELOAD field should be set. If not
enabled, the timer’s value will continue to increment or decrement past the alarm value after an alarm.

12.2.5 SLOW_CLK Frequency Calculation

Via XTAL_CLK, a timer could calculate the frequency of clock sources for SLOW_CLK (i.e. RTC_CLK,
FOSC_DIV_CLK, and XTAL32K_CLK) as follows:

1. Start periodic or one-shot frequency calculation;

2. Once receiving the signal to start calculation, the counter of XTAL_CLK and the counter of SLOW_CLK
begin to work at the same time. When the counter of SLOW_CLK counts to C0, the two counters stop
counting simultaneously;

3. Assume the value of XTAL_CLK’s counter is C1, and the frequency of SLOW_CLK would be calculated as:
C0×f _XT AL_CLK
f _rtc = C1

12.2.6 Interrupts
Each timer has its own interrupt line that can be routed to the CPU, and thus each timer group has a total of
three interrupt lines. Timers generate level interrupts that must be explicitly cleared by the CPU on each
triggering.

Interrupts are triggered after an alarm (or stage timeout for watchdog timers) occurs. Level interrupts will be held
high after an alarm (or stage timeout) occurs, and will remain so until manually cleared. To enable a timer’s
interrupt, the TIMG_Tx_INT_ENA bit should be set.

The interrupts of each timer group are governed by a set of registers. Each timer within the group has a
corresponding bit in each of these registers:

• TIMG_Tx_INT_RAW : An alarm event sets it to 1. The bit will remain set until the timer’s corresponding bit in
TIMG_Tx_INT_CLR is written.

• TIMG_WDT_INT_RAW : A stage time out will set the timer’s bit to 1. The bit will remain set until the timer’s
corresponding bit in TIMG_WDT_INT_CLR is written.

• TIMG_Tx_INT_ST : Reflects the status of each timer’s interrupt and is generated by masking the bits of
TIMG_Tx_INT_RAW with TIMG_Tx_INT_ENA.

• TIMG_WDT_INT_ST : Reflects the status of each watchdog timer’s interrupt and is generated by masking
the bits of TIMG_WDT_INT_RAW with TIMG_WDT_INT_ENA.

• TIMG_Tx_INT_ENA : Used to enable or mask the interrupt status bits of timers within the group.

• TIMG_WDT_INT_ENA : Used to enable or mask the interrupt status bits of watchdog timer within the group.

• TIMG_Tx_INT_CLR : Used to clear a timer’s interrupt by setting its corresponding bit to 1. The timer’s
corresponding bit in TIMG_Tx_INT_RAW and TIMG_Tx_INT_ST will be cleared as a result. Note that a
timer’s interrupt must be cleared before the next interrupt occurs.

• TIMG_WDT_INT_CLR : Used to clear a timer’s interrupt by setting its corresponding bit to 1. The watchdog
timer’s corresponding bit in TIMG_WDT_INT_RAW and TIMG_WDT_INT_ST will be cleared as a result.
Note that a watchdog timer’s interrupt must be cleared before the next interrupt occurs.

12.3 Configuration and Usage

12.3.1 Timer as a Simple Clock
1. Configure the time-base counter

• Select clock source by setting or clearing TIMG_Tx_USE_XTAL field.

• Configure the 16-bit prescaler by setting TIMG_Tx_DIVIDER.

• Configure the timer direction by setting or clearing TIMG_Tx_INCREASE.

• Set the timer’s starting value by writing the starting value to TIMG_Tx_LOAD_LO and
TIMG_Tx_LOAD_HI, then reloading it into the timer by writing any value to TIMG_TxLOAD_REG.

2. Start the timer by setting TIMG_Tx_EN.

3. Get the timer’s current value.

• Write any value to TIMG_TxUPDATE_REG to latch the timer’s current value.

• Read the latched timer value from TIMG_TxLO_REG and TIMG_TxHI_REG.

12.3.2 Timer as One­shot Alarm

1. Configure the time-base counter following step 1 of Section 12.3.1.

2. Configure the alarm.

• Configure the alarm value by setting TIMG_TxALARMLO_REG and TIMG_TxALARMHI_REG.

• Enable interrupt by setting TIMG_Tx_INT_ENA.

3. Disable auto reload by clearing TIMG_Tx_AUTORELOAD.

4. Start the alarm by setting TIMG_Tx_ALARM_EN.

5. Handle the alarm interrupt.

• Clear the interrupt by setting the timer’s corresponding bit in TIMG_Tx_INT_CLR.

• Disable the timer by clearing TIMG_Tx_EN.

12.3.3 Timer as Periodic Alarm

1. Configure the time-base counter following step 1 in Section 12.3.1.

2. Configure the alarm following step 2 in Section 12.3.2.

3. Enable auto reload by setting TIMG_Tx_AUTORELOAD and configure the reload value via
TIMG_Tx_LOAD_LO and TIMG_Tx_LOAD_HI.

12 Timer Group (TIMG) GoBack

4. Start the alarm by setting TIMG_Tx_ALARM_EN.

5. Handle the alarm interrupt (repeat on each alarm iteration).

• Clear the interrupt by setting the timer’s corresponding bit in TIMG_Tx_INT_CLR.

• If the next alarm requires a new alarm value and reload value (i.e. different alarm interval per iteration),
then TIMG_TxALARMLO_REG, TIMG_TxALARMHI_REG, TIMG_Tx_LOAD_LO, and
TIMG_Tx_LOAD_HI should be reconfigured as needed. Otherwise, the aforementioned registers
should remain unchanged.

• Re-enable the alarm by setting TIMG_Tx_ALARM_EN.

6. Stop the timer (on final alarm iteration).

• Clear the interrupt by setting the timer’s corresponding bit in TIMG_Tx_INT_CLR.

• Disable the timer by clearing TIMG_Tx_EN.

12.3.4 SLOW_CLK Frequency Calculation

1. One-shot frequency calculation

• Select the clock whose frequency is to be calculated (clock source of SLOW_CLK) via
TIMG_RTC_CALI_CLK_SEL, and configure the time of calculation via TIMG_RTC_CALI_MAX.

• Select one-shot frequency calculation by clearing TIMG_RTC_CALI_START_CYCLING, and enable

the two counters via TIMG_RTC_CALI_START.

• Once TIMG_RTC_CALI_RDY becomes 1, read TIMG_RTC_CALI_VALUE to get the value of

XTAL_CLK’s counter, and calculate the frequency of SLOW_CLK.

2. Periodic frequency calculation

• Select the clock whose frequency is to be calculated (clock source of SLOW_CLK) via
TIMG_RTC_CALI_CLK_SEL, and configure the time of calculation via TIMG_RTC_CALI_MAX.

• Select periodic frequency calculation by enabling TIMG_RTC_CALI_START_CYCLING.

• When TIMG_RTC_CALI_CYCLING_DATA_VLD is 1, TIMG_RTC_CALI_VALUE is valid.

3. Timeout
If the counter of SLOW_CLK cannot finish counting in TIMG_RTC_CALI_TIMEOUT_RST_CNT cycles,
TIMG_RTC_CALI_TIMEOUT will be set to indicate a timeout.

13 Watchdog Timers (WDT)

13.1 Overview
Watchdog timers are hardware timers used to detect and recover from malfunctions. They must be periodically
fed (reset) to prevent a timeout. A system/software that is behaving unexpectedly (e.g. is stuck in a software loop
or in overdue events) will fail to feed the watchdog thus trigger a watchdog timeout. Therefore, watchdog timers
are useful for detecting and handling erroneous system/software behavior.

As shown in Figure 13-1, ESP32-S3 contains three digital watchdog timers: one in each of the two timer groups
in Chapter 12 Timer Group (TIMG)(called Main System Watchdog Timers, or MWDT) and one in the RTC Module
(called the RTC Watchdog Timer, or RWDT). Each digital watchdog timer allows for four separately configurable
stages and each stage can be programmed to take one action upon expiry, unless the watchdog is fed or
disabled. MWDT supports three timeout actions: interrupt, CPU reset, and core reset, while RWDT supports four
timeout actions: interrupt, CPU reset, core reset, and system reset (see details in Section 13.2.2.2 Stages and
Timeout Actions). A timeout value can be set for each stage individually.

During the flash boot process, RWDT and the first MWDT in timergroup 0 are enabled automatically in order to
detect and recover from booting errors.

ESP32-S3 also has one analog watchdog timer: Super watchdog (SWD). It is an ultra-low-power circuit in analog
domain that helps to prevent the system from operating in a sub-optimal state and resets the system if
required.

Figure 13­1. Watchdog Timers Overview

Note that while this chapter provides the functional descriptions of the watchdog timer’s, their register
descriptions are provided in Chapter 12 Timer Group (TIMG) and Chapter 10 Low-power Management
(RTC_CNTL).

13.2 Digital Watchdog Timers

13.2.1 Features
Watchdog timers have the following features:

• Four stages, each with a programmable timeout value. Each stage can be configured and
enabled/disabled separately

• Three timeout actions (interrupt, CPU reset, or core reset) for MWDT and four timeout actions (interrupt,
CPU reset, core reset, or system reset) for RWDT upon expiry of each stage

• 32-bit expiry counter

• Write protection, to prevent RWDT and MWDT configuration from being altered inadvertently

• 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.

13.2.2 Functional Description

Figure 13­2. Watchdog Timers in ESP32­S3

Figure 13-2 shows the three watchdog timers in ESP32-S3 digital systems.

13.2.2.1 Clock Source and 32­Bit Counter

At the core of each watchdog timer is a 32-bit counter. The clock source of MWDTs is derived from the APB
clock via a pre-MWDT 16-bit configurable prescaler. In contrast, the clock source of RWDT is derived directly
from an RTC slow clock (the RTC slow clock source shown in Chapter 7 Reset and Clock). The 16-bit prescaler
for MWDTs is configured via the TIMG_WDT_CLK_PRESCALE field of TIMG_WDTCONFIG1_REG.

MWDTs and RWDT are enabled by setting the TIMG_WDT_EN and RTC_CNTL_WDT_EN fields respectively.
When enabled, the 32-bit counters of each watchdog will increment on each source clock cycle until the timeout
value of the current stage is reached (i.e. expiry of the current stage). When this occurs, the current counter value
is reset to zero and the next stage will become active. If a watchdog timer is fed by software, the timer will return

Espressif Systems 653 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
13 Watchdog Timers (WDT) GoBack

to stage 0 and reset its counter value to zero. Software can feed a watchdog timer by writing any value to
TIMG_WDTFEED_REG for MDWTs and RTC_CNTL_RTC_WDT_FEED for RWDT.

13.2.2.2 Stages and Timeout Actions

Timer stages allow for a timer to have a series of different timeout values and corresponding expiry action. When
one stage expires, the expiry action is triggered, the counter value is reset to zero, and the next stage becomes
active. MWDTs/ RWDT provide four stages (called stages 0 to 3). The watchdog timers will progress through
each stage in a loop (i.e. from stage 0 to 3, then back to stage 0).

Timeout values of each stage for MWDTs are configured in TIMG_WDTCONFIGi_REG (where i ranges from 2 to
5), whilst timeout values for RWDT are configured using RTC_CNTL_WDT_STGj_HOLD field (where j ranges from
0 to 3).

Please note that the timeout value of stage 0 for RWDT (Thold0 ) is determined by the combination of the
EFUSE_WDT_DELAY_SEL field of eFuse register EFUSE_RD_REPEAT_DATA1_REG and
RTC_CNTL_WDT_STG0_HOLD. The relationship is as follows:

Thold0 = RT C_CN T L_W DT _ST G0_HOLD << (EF U SE_W DT _DELAY _SEL + 1)

where << is a left-shift operator.

Upon the expiry of each stage, one of the following expiry actions will be executed:

• Trigger an interrupt
When the stage expires, an interrupt is triggered.

• CPU reset – Reset a CPU core

When the stage expires, the CPU core will be reset.

• Core reset – Reset the main system

When the stage expires, the main system (which includes MWDTs, CPU, and all peripherals) will be reset.
The power management unit and RTC peripheral will not be reset.

• System reset – Reset the main system, power management unit and RTC peripheral
When the stage expires the main system, power management unit and RTC peripheral (see details in
Chapter 10 Low-power Management (RTC_CNTL)) will all be reset. This action is only available in RWDT.

• Disabled
This stage will have no effects on the system.

Timeout values of each stage for MWDTs are configured in TIMG_WDTCONFIGi_REG (where i ranges from 2 to
5), whilst timeout values for RWDT are configured using RTC_CNTL_WDT_STGj_HOLD field (where j ranges from
0 to 3).

13.2.2.3 Write Protection

Watchdog timers are critical to detecting and handling erroneous system/software behavior, thus should not be
disabled easily (e.g. due to a misplaced register write). Therefore, MWDTs and RWDT incorporate a write
protection mechanism that prevent the watchdogs from being disabled or tampered with due to an accidental
write.

Espressif Systems 654 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
13 Watchdog Timers (WDT) GoBack

The write protection mechanism is implemented using a write-key field for each timer (TIMG_WDT_WKEY for
MWDT, RTC_CNTL_WDT_WKEY for RWDT). The value 0x50D83AA1 must be written to the watchdog timer’s
write-key field before any other register of the same watchdog timer can be changed. Any attempts to write to a
watchdog timer’s registers (other than the write-key field itself) whilst the write-key field’s value is not
0x50D83AA1 will be ignored. The recommended procedure for accessing a watchdog timer is as follows:

1. Disable the write protection by writing the value 0x50D83AA1 to the timer’s write-key field.

2. Make the required modification of the watchdog such as feeding or changing its configuration.

3. Re-enable write protection by writing any value other than 0x50D83AA1 to the timer’s write-key field.

13.2.2.4 Flash Boot Protection

During flash booting process, MWDT in timer group 0 (see Figure 12-1 Timer Units within Groups), as well as
RWDT, are automatically enabled. Stage 0 for the enabled MWDT is automatically configured to reset the system
upon expiry, known as core reset. Likewise, stage 0 for RWDT is configured to system reset, which resets the
main system and RTC when it expires. After booting, TIMG_WDT_FLASHBOOT_MOD_EN and
RTC_CNTL_WDT_FLASHBOOT_MOD_EN should be cleared to stop the flash boot protection procedure for
both MWDT and RWDT respectively. After this, MWDT and RWDT can be configured by software.

13.3 Super Watchdog

Super watchdog (SWD) is an ultra-low-power circuit in analog domain that helps to prevent the system from
operating in a sub-optimal state and resets the system if required. SWD contains a watchdog circuit that needs
to be fed for at least once during its timeout period, which is slightly less than one second. About 100 ms before
watchdog timeout, it will also send out a WD_INTR signal as a request to remind the system to feed the
watchdog.

If the system doesn’t respond to SWD feed request and watchdog finally times out, SWD will generate a system
level signal SWD_RSTB to reset whole digital circuits on the chip.

13.3.1 Features
SWD has the following features:

• Ultra-low power

• Interrupt to indicate that the SWD timeout period is close to expiring

• Various dedicated methods for software to feed SWD, which enables SWD to monitor the working state of
the whole operating system

13.3.2.1 Structure

Figure 13­3. Super Watchdog Controller Structure

13.3.2.2 Workflow

In normal state:

• SWD controller receives feed request from SWD.

• SWD controller can send an interrupt to main CPU or ULP-RISC-V.

• Main CPU can decide whether to feed SWD directly by setting RTC_CNTL_SWD_FEED, or send an
interrupt to ULP-RISC-V and ask ULP-RISC-V to feed SWD by setting RTC_CNTL_SWD_FEED.

• When trying to feed SWD, CPU or ULP-RISC-V needs to disable SWD controller’s write protection by
writing 0x8F1D312A to RTC_CNTL_SWD_WKEY. This prevents SWD from being fed by mistake when the
system is operating in sub-optimal state.

• If setting RTC_CNTL_SWD_AUTO_FEED_EN to 1, SWD controller can also feed SWD itself without any
interaction with CPU or ULP-RISC-V.

After reset:

• Check RTC_CNTL_RESET_CAUSE_PROCPU[5:0] for the cause of CPU reset.

If RTC_CNTL_RESET_CAUSE_PROCPU[5:0] == 0x12, it indicates that the cause is SWD reset.

• Set RTC_CNTL_SWD_RST_FLAG_CLR to clear the SWD reset flag.

14 XTAL32K Watchdog Timers (XTWDT)

14.1 Overview
The XTAL32K watchdog timer on ESP32-S3 is used to monitor the status of external crystal XTAL32K_CLK. This
watchdog timer can detect the oscillation failure of XTAL32K_CLK, change the clock source of RTC, etc. When
XTAL32K_CLK works as the clock source of RTC SLOW_CLK (for clock description, see Chapter 7 Reset and
Clock) and stops oscillating, the XTAL32K watchdog timer first switches to BACKUP32K_CLK derived from
RTC_CLK and generates an interrupt (if the chip is in Light-sleep or Deep-sleep mode, the CPU will be woken
up), and then switches back to XTAL32K_CLK after it is restarted by software.

Figure 14­1. XTAL32K Watchdog Timer

14.2 Features
14.2.1 Interrupt and Wake­Up
When the XTAL32K watchdog timer detects the oscillation failure of XTAL32K_CLK, an oscillation failure interrupt
RTC_XTAL32K_DEAD_INT (for interrupt description, please refer to Chapter 10 Low-power Management
(RTC_CNTL)) is generated. At this point, the CPU will be woken up if in Light-sleep mode or Deep-sleep
mode.

14.2.2 BACKUP32K_CLK
Once the XTAL32K watchdog timer detects the oscillation failure of XTAL32K_CLK, it replaces XTAL32K_CLK
with BACKUP32K_CLK (with a frequency of 32 kHz or so) derived from RTC_CLK as RTC’s SLOW_CLK, so as
to ensure proper functioning of the system.

14.3 Functional Description

Espressif Systems 658 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
14 XTAL32K Watchdog Timers (XTWDT) GoBack

14.3.1 Workflow
1. The XTAL32K watchdog timer starts counting when RTC_CNTL_XTAL32K_WDT_EN is enabled. The
counter based on RTC_CLK keeps counting until it detects the positive edge of XTAL_32K and is then
cleared. When the counter reaches RTC_CNTL_XTAL32K_WDT_TIMEOUT, it generates an interrupt or a
wake-up signal and is then reset.

2. If RTC_CNTL_XTAL32K_AUTO_BACKUP is set and step 1 is finished, the XTAL32K watchdog timer will
automatically enable BACKUP32K_CLK as the alternative clock source of RTC SLOW_CLK, to ensure the
system’s proper functioning and the accuracy of timers running on RTC SLOW_CLK (e.g. RTC_TIMER).
For information about clock frequency configuration, please refer to Section 14.3.2.

3. To restore the XTAL32K watchdog timer, software restarts XTAL32K_CLK by turning its XPD (meaning no
power-down) signal off and on again via RTC_CNTL_XPD_XTAL_32K bit. Then, the XTAL32K watchdog
timer switches back to XTAL32K_CLK as the clock source of RTC SLOW_CLK by clearing
RTC_CNTL_XTAL32K_WDT_EN (BACKUP32K_CLK_EN is also automatically cleared). If the chip is in
Light-sleep or Deep-sleep mode mode, the XTAL32K watchdog timer will wake up the CPU to finish the
above steps.

14.3.2 BACKUP32K_CLK Working Principle

Chips have different RTC_CLK frequencies due to production process variations. To ensure the accuracy of
RTC_TIMER and other timers running on SLOW_CLK when BACKUP32K_CLK is at work, the divisor of
BACKUP32K_CLK should be configured according to the actual frequency of RTC_CLK (see details in Chapter
10 Low-power Management (RTC_CNTL)) via RTC_CNTL_XTAL32K_CLK_FACTOR_REG register. Each byte in
this register corresponds to a divisor component (x0 ~x7 ). BACKUP32K_CLK is divided by a fraction where the
denominator is always 4, as calculated below.

f _back_clk/4 = f _rtc_clk/S
S = x0 + x1 + ... + x7

f_back_clk is the desired frequency of BACKUP32K_CLK; f_rtc_clk is the actual frequency of RTC_CLK; x0 ~x7
correspond to the pulse width in high and low state of four BACKUP32K_CLK clock signals (unit: RTC_CLK
clock cycle).

14.3.3 Configuring the Divisor Component of BACKUP32K_CLK

Based on principles described in Section 14.3.2, you can configure the divisor component as follows:

• Calculate the sum of divisor components S according to the frequency of RTC_CLK and the desired
frequency of BACKUP32K_CLK;

• Calculate the integer part of divisor N = f _rtc_clk/f _back_clk;

• Calculate the integer part of divisor component M = N /2. The integer part of divisor N are separated into
two parts because a divisor component corresponds to a pulse width in high or low state;

• Calculate the number of divisor components that equal M (xn = M) and the number of divisor components
that equal M + 1 (xn = M + 1) according to the value of M and S. (M + 1) is the fractional part of divisor
component.

For example, if the frequency of RTC_CLK is 163 kHz, then f _rtc_clk = 163000, f _back_clk = 32768, S = 20,
M = 2, and {x0 , x1 , x2 , x3 , x4 , x5 , x6 , x7 } = {2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3}. As a result, the frequency of BACKUP32K_CLK
is 32.6 kHz.

15.1 Overview
ESP32-S3 is specially designed for flexible access management to internal memory, external memory, and all
peripherals. Once configured, CPU can only access a particular slave device according to the configured
permission, thus protecting the slave device from unauthorized access (read, write, or instruction
execution).

In addition, ESP32-S3 has integrated a World Controller, which when enabled can be used along with Permission
Controller to allocate the chip’s hardware and software resource into Secure World (World0) and Non-secure
World (World1), and can switch the CPU between running from the Secure World or Non-secure World. For
details, please refer to 16 World Controller (WCL).

This chapter mainly describes the access management to different internal memory, external memory and
peripherals.

This section describes how to configure the permission to each types of ESP32-S3’s internal memory.

15.3.1 ROM
ESP32-S3’s ROM can be accessed by CPU’s instruction bus (IBUS) and data bus (DBUS) when configured.
Note:

• Permission for Secure World and Non-secure World can be configured independently.

• Once configured, the permission applies for both CPU0 and CPU1.

15.3.1.1 Address

ESP32-S3’s ROM address and the address ranges accessible for IBUS and DBUS respectively are listed in Table
15-1.

15.3.1.2 Access Configuration

ESP32-S3 uses the registers listed in Table 15-2 to configure the instruction execution (X), write (W) and read (R)
accesses of CPU’s IBUS and DBUS, from the Secure World and Non-secure World, to ROM:

Here, we will first introduce how to configure the permission to Internal SRAM0, Internal SRAM1, and Internal
SRAM2, and also how to configure the Internal SRAM1 as CPU Trace memory.

15.3.2.2 Internal SRAM0 Access Configuration

ESP32-S3’s Internal SRAM0 includes Block0 and Block1 (see details in Table 15-3) and can be allocated to
either CPU or ICACHE.

Note that once configured, the configuration applies for both CPU0 and CPU1.

ESP32-S3 uses the register described in Table 15-4 to allocate the SRAM0 to either CPU or ICACHE:

When a certain block is allocated to CPU, ESP32-S3 uses the registers listed in Table 15-5 to configure the
instruction execution (X), write (W) and read (R) accesses of CPU’s IBUS, from the Secure World and Non-secure
World, to this block:

1: with access; 0: without access
C
For example, configuring this field to 0b101 indicates CPU’s IBUS is granted with instruction execution and read
accesses but not write access to SRAM Block0 from the Non-secure World.

15.3.2.3 Internal SRAM1 Access Configuration

ESP32-S3’s Internal SRAM1 includes Block2 ~ Block8 (see details in Table 15-3) and can be:

• Accessed by CPU’s DBUS, IBUS and GDMA at the same time

• Can be configured to be used as Trace memory

• Further split into up to 6 regions with independent access management for more flexible permission control.

ESP32-S3’s Internal SRAM1 can be further split into up to 6 regions with 5 split lines. Users can configure
different access to each region independently.

To be more specific, the Internal SRAM1 can be first split into Instruction Region and Data Region by
IRam0_DRam0_split_line:

• Instruction Region:

– Then the Instruction Region should be only configured to be accessed by IBUS;

– And can be further split into three split regions by IRam0_split_line_0 and IRam0_split_line_1.

• Data Region:

– The Data Region should be only configured to be accessed by DBUS;

– And can be further split into three split regions by DRam0_split_line_0 and DRam0_split_line_1.

Internal SRAM1 Split Regions

ESP32-S3 allows users to configure the split lines to their needs with registers below:

• Split line to split the Instruction and Data regions (IRam0_DRam0_split_line):

– PMS_CORE_X_IRAM0_DRAM0_DMA_SPLIT_LINE_CONSTRAIN_1_REG

• The first split line to further split the Instruction Region (IRam0_split_line_0):

– PMS_CORE_X_IRAM0_DRAM0_DMA_SPLIT_LINE_CONSTRAIN_2_REG

• The second split line to further split the Instruction Region (IRam0_split_line_1):

– PMS_CORE_X_IRAM0_DRAM0_DMA_SPLIT_LINE_CONSTRAIN_3_REG

• The first split line to further split the data Region (DRam0_split_line_0):

– PMS_CORE_X_IRAM0_DRAM0_DMA_SPLIT_LINE_CONSTRAIN_4_REG

• The second split line to further split the data Region (DRam0_split_line_1):

– PMS_CORE_X_IRAM0_DRAM0_DMA_SPLIT_LINE_CONSTRAIN_5_REG

When configuring the split lines,

1. First configure the block in which the spilt line is by:

Espressif Systems 665 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
15 Permission Control (PMS) GoBack

• Configuring the Category_x field for the block in which the split line is to 0x1 or 0x2 (no difference)

• Configuring the Category_0 ~ Category_x-1 fields for all the preceding blocks to 0x0

• Configuring the Category_x+1 ~ Category_6 fields for all blocks afterwards to 0x3

For example, assuming you want to configure the split line in Block5, then first configure the Category_3
field for Block5 to 0x1 or 0x2; configure the Category_0 ~ Category_2 fields for Block2 ~ Block4 to 0x0; and
configure the Category_4 ~ Category_6 fields for Block6 ~ Block8 to 0x3 (see illustration in Figure 15-2).
On the other hand, when reading 0x1 or 0x2 from Category_3, then you know the split line is in Block5.

2. Configure the position of the split line inside of the configured block by:

• Writing the [15:8] bits of the actual address at which you want to split the memory to the SPLITADDR
field for the block in which the split line is.

• Note that the split address must be aligned to 256 bytes, meaning you can only write the integral
multiples of 0x100 to the SPLITADDR field.

For example, if you want to split the instruction region at 0x3fc88000, then write the [15:8] bits of this
address, which is 0b10000000, to SPLITADDR.

Figure 15­2. An illustration of Configuring the Category fields

Note the following points when configuring the split lines:

• Position:

– The split line that splitting the Instruction Region and Data Region can be configured anywhere inside
Internal SRAM1.

– The two split lines further splitting the Instruction Region into 3 split regions must stay inside the
Instruction Region.

– The two split lines further splitting the Data Region into 3 split regions must stay inside the Data
Region.

• Spilt lines can overlap with each other. For example,

– When the two split lines inside the Data Region are not overlapping with each other, then the Data
Region is split into 3 split regions

Espressif Systems 666 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
15 Permission Control (PMS) GoBack

– When the two split lines inside the Data Region are overlapping with each other, then the Data Region
is only split into 2 split regions

– When the two split lines inside the Data Region are not only overlapping with each other but also with
the split line that splits the Data Region and the Instruction Region, then the Data Region is not split at
all and only has one region.

Access Configuration

After configuring the split lines, users can then use the registers described in the Table 15-7 and Table 15-8
below to configure the access of CPU’s IBUS, DBUS and GDMA peripherals, from the Secure World and
Non-secure World, to these split regions independently.

Trace Memory

ESP32-S3 has a low-power Xtensa® dual-core 32-bit LX7 microprocessor, which integrates a TRAX (Real-time
Trace) module for easier debugging. For the TRAX module to work, users need to allocate 16 KB from the
Internal SRAM1 as Trace memory. Note that, the Trace memories for CPU0 and CPU1 can be configured
independently.

Users can allocate 16 KB from Internal SRAM1 as Trace memory by configuring the
PMS_INTERNAL_SRAM_USAGE_2_REG register.

Detailed steps are provided below:

1. First choose a block from Block2 ~ Block8 by writing 1 to the respective bit in the
PMS_INTERNAL_SRAM_COREm_TRACE_USAGE field

• Block2: 0b00000001

• Block3: 0b00000010

• Block4: 0b00000100

• Block5: 0b00001000

• Block6: 0b00010000

• Block7: 0b00100000

• Block8: 0b01000000

2. Then choose 16 KB from this block as the Trace memory by configuring the
PMS_INTERNAL_SRAM_COREm_TRACE_ALLOC field

• 2’b00: the first 16 KB

• 2’b01: the second 16 KB

• 2’b10: the third 16 KB

• 2’b11: the fourth 16 KB

Note that Block2 is only 32 KB, so you can only configure this field to 2’b00 or 2’b0 when Block2 is
selected in the first step.

For example, if you want to choose the first 16 KB of Internal SRAM1 Block3’s as CPU0’s trace memory, then
you need to:

• Write 0b0000010 to the PMS_INTERNAL_SRAM_CORE0_TRACE_USAGE field to select Block3

• Write 2’b00 to the PMS_INTERNAL_SRAM_CORE0_TRACE_ALLOC field to select the first 16 KB.

15.3.2.4 Internal SRAM2 Access Configuration

ESP32-S3’s Internal SRAM2 includes Block9 and Block10 (see details in Table 15-3), which can be allocated to
either CPU/GDMA or DCACHE. Note that once configured, the configuration applies to both CPU0 and
CPU1.

ESP32-S3 uses registers described in Table 15-9 to configure the Internal SRAM2 for CPU/GDMA or
DCACHE.

15.3.3.2 Access Configuration

ESP32-S3’s RTC FAST Memory can be further split into 2 regions. Each split region can be configured
independently with different access by configuring respective registers
(PMS_CORE_m_PIF_PMS_CONSTRAN_n_REG).

Note that split regions can be configured independently for CPU0 and CPU1 and for the Secure World and
Non-secure World.

15.4 Peripherals
15.4.1 Access Configuration
ESP32-S3’s CPU can be configured with different read (R) and write (W) accesses to most of its modules and
peripherals independently, from the Secure World and the Non-secure World, by configuring respective registers
(PMS_CORE_m_PIF_PMS_CONSTRAN_n_REG).

Note that permission to modules and peripherals can be configured independently for CPU0 and CPU1 and for
the Secure World and Non-secure World.

Notes on PMS_CORE_m_PIF_PMS_CONSTRAN_n_REG:

• m can be 0 or 1 for CPU0 and CPU1 respectively.

• n can be 1~8, in which 1~4 are for Secure World and 5~8 are for Non-secure World.

For example, users can configure PMS_CORE_0_PIF_PMS_CONSTRAIN_1_REG [1:0] to 0x2, meaning CPU0 is
granted with read access but not write access from the Secure World to UART0. In this case, CPU0 won’t be
able to modify the UART0’s internal registers when in Secure World.

15.4.2 Split Peripheral Regions into Split Regions

Each of ESP32-S3’s peripheral region can be further split into 11 regions (from Peri Region0 ~ Peri Region10) for
more flexible permission control.

For example, the registers for ESP32-S3’s GDMA controller are allocated as:

• 5 sets of registers for 5 of each RX channel

• 5 sets of registers for 5 of each TX channel

• 1 set of registers for configuration

As seen above, GDMA’s peripheral region is divided into 11 split regions (implemented in hardware), which can
be configured with different permission independently, thus achieving independent permission control to each
GDMA channel.

Users can configure CPU’s read (R) and write (W) accesses to a specific split region (Peri Regionn) from the
Secure World and the Non-secure World by configuring PMS_CORE_m_Region_PMS_CONSTRAN_n_REG.
Note that permission can be configured independently for CPU0 and CPU1.

Notes on PMS_CORE_m_Region_PMS_CONSTRAN_n_REG:

• m can be 0 or 1 for CPU0 and CPU1 respectively.

• n can be 1~14, in which

– Region_PMS_CONSTRAN_1_REG is for configuring CPU’s permission from the Secure World.

– Region_PMS_CONSTRAN_2_REG is for configuring CPU’s permission from the Non-secure World.

– Region_PMS_CONSTRAN_n_REG�n = 3~14�are used to configuring the starting addresses for each

Peri Regions. Note the starting address of each Peri Region is also the ending address of the previous
Peri Region.

15.5 External Memory

ESP32-S3 can access the external memory via one of the three ways illustrated in Figure 15-3 below.

Espressif Systems 673 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
15 Permission Control (PMS) GoBack

• CPU via SPI1

• CPU via CACHE

• GDMA

Figure 15­3. Three Ways to Access External Memory

SPI1, CACHE or GDMA must be configured with specific permission before accessing external memory. see
illustration in Figure 15-3:

• Box 0 checks the CPU’s access to external flash and SRAM

• Box 1 checks GDMA’s access to external SRAM

• Box 2 checks CPU’s access to external flash and SRAM via CACHE

15.5.1 Address
Both ESP32-S3’s flash and SRAM can be further split to achieve more flexible permission control. Each split
region can be configured with different access independently.

• Flash can be split into 4 regions, the length of each should be the integral multiples of 64 KB.

• SRAM can be split into 4 regions, the length of each should be the integral multiples of 64 KB.

• Also, the starting address of each region should also be aligned to 64 KB.

The following registers can be used to configure how the flash or SRAM are split.

Each region cannot overlap with others.

15.5.2 Access Configuration

Each split regions for flash and SRAM can be configured with different permission independently via Registers
APB_CTRL_SRAM_ACEn_ATTR_REG and APB_CTRL_FLASH_ACEn_ATTR.

15.5.3 GDMA
ESP32-S3’s 32 MB External SRAM can be independently split into four regions, of which the Region1 and
Region2 are accessible to GDMA.

15.6 Unauthorized Access and Interrupts

Any attempt to access ESP32-S3’s slave device without configured permission is considered an unauthorized
access and will be handled as described below:

• This attempt will only be responded with default values, in particular,

– All instruction execution or read attempts will be responded with 0 (for internal memory) or 0xdeadbeaf
(for external memory)

– All write attempts will fail

• An interrupt will be triggered (when enabled). See details below.

Note that:

• All permission control related interrupts described in this section can be independently configured for CPU0
and CPU1.

• Only the information of the first interrupt is logged. Therefore, it’s advised to handle interrupt signals and
clear interrupts in-time, so the information of next interrupt can be logged correctly.

15.6.1 Interrupt upon Unauthorized IBUS Access

ESP32-S3 can be configured to trigger interrupts when IBUS attempts to access internal ROM and SRAM
without configured permission, and log the information about this unauthorized access. Note that, once this
interrupt is enabled, it’s enabled for all internal ROM and SRAM memory, and cannot be only enabled for a certain
address field. This interrupt corresponds to the CORE_m_IRAM0_PMS_MONITOR_VIOLATE_INTR interrupt
source described in Table 9-1 from Chapter 9 Interrupt Matrix (INTERRUPT).

peripheral regions, and trigger Interrupt upon unauthorized alignment. See detailed description in the following
section.

15.6.6 Interrupt upon Unauthorized PIF Access Alignment

Access to all of ESP32-S3’s modules / peripherals (excluding RTC FAST memory and SLOW memory) is word
aligned.

ESP32-S3 can be configured to check the access alignment to all modules / peripherals, and trigger Interrupt
upon non­word aligned access.

This interrupt corresponds to the CORE_m_PIF_PMS_MONITOR_VIOLATE_SIZE_INTR interrupt source

described in Table 9-1 from Chapter 9 Interrupt Matrix (INTERRUPT).

Note that CPU can convert some non-word aligned access to word aligned access, thus avoiding triggering
alignment interrupt.

Table 15-28 below lists all the possible access alignments and their results (when interrupt is enabled), in
which:

15.7 Protection of CPU VECBASE Registers

CPU’s VECBASE registers store the base addresses of interrupts and exceptions table. To protect these
registers from unauthorized modification, ESP32-S3 has implemented a special mechanism.

Users can first configure values stored in VECBASE registers to the

PMS_CORE_m_VECBASE_OVERRIDE_WORLDn_VALUE field of the
PMS_CORE_m_VECBASE_OVERRIDE_n_REG register, and then use the configured
PMS_CORE_m_VECBASE_OVERRIDE_WORLDn_VALUE values, instead of VECBASE values. Then by only
allowing modification to the PMS_CORE_m_VECBASE_OVERRIDE_n_REG register values from the Secure
World, the integrity of values stored in VECBASE registers are protected.

The detailed steps are described below:

1. Write the CPUm’s VECBASE value in Secure World to the

PMS_CORE_m_VECBASE_OVERRIDE_WORLD0_VALUE field.

2. Write the CPUm’s VECBASE value in Non-secure World to the

PMS_CORE_m_VECBASE_OVERRIDE_WORLD1_VALUE field.

3. Configure the PMS_CORE_m_VECBASE_OVERRIDE_SEL field of the

PMS_CORE_m_VECBASE_OVERRIDE_1_REG register by setting it to:

• 2’b00: just use CPUm’s VECBASE register directly.

• 2’b11: use the value configured in PMS_CORE_m_VECBASE_OVERRIDE_WORLDn_VALUE, instead

of the value in CPUm’s VECBASE register

• Do not configuring this field to other values.

4. Configure the PMS_CORE_m_VECBASE_WORLD_MASK field of the

PMS_CORE_m_VECBASE_OVERRIDE_0_REG register by setting it to:

Espressif Systems 680 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

• 1: CPUm uses WORLD0_VALUE in both the Secure World and the Non-secure World.

• 0: CPUm uses WORLD0_VALUE in the Secure World, and WORLD1_VALUE in the Non-secure World.

15.8 Register Locks

All ESP32-S3’s permission control related registers can be locked by respective lock registers. When the lock
registers are configured to 1, these registers themselves and their related permission control registers are all
protected from modification until the next CPU reset.

Note that there isn’t one-to-one correspondence between the lock registers and permission control registers.

15 Permission Control (PMS)

15.9 Register Summary
The addresses of registers starting from PMS in this section are relative to the Permission Control base address, and the addresses of registers starting from APB in this
section are relative to the ABP Controller base address. Both base address are provided in Table 4-3 in Chapter 4 System and Memory.

Note that, all registers with CORE_X in this section apply to both CPUs. The list of registers below is for CPU0 only. CPU1 shares exactly the same set of registers.
Adding 0x0400 to the offset of the equivalent of CPU0 register gives you address for CPU1 registers.

For example, the offset for CPU0 register PMS_CORE_0_IRAM0_PMS_MONITOR_0_REG is 0x00E4, the offset for CPU1 equivalent
PMS_CORE_1_IRAM0_PMS_MONITOR_0_REG should be 0x00E4 + 0x0400, which is 0x04E4.

16 World Controller (WCL)

16.1 Introduction
ESP32-S3 allows users to allocate its hardware and software resource into Secure World (World0) and
Non-secure World (World1), thus protecting resource from unauthorized access (read or write), and from
malicious attacks such as malware, hardware-based monitoring, hardware-level intervention, and so on. CPUs
can switch between Secure World and Non-secure World with the help of the World Controller.

By default, all resource in ESP32-S3 are shareable. Users can allocate the resource into two worlds by managing
respective permission (For details, please refer to Chapter 15 Permission Control (PMS)). This chapter only
introduces the World Controller and how CPUs can switch between worlds with the help of World
Controller.

16.2 Features
ESP32-S3’s World Controller:

• Controls the CPUs to switch between the Secure World and Non-secure World

• Logs CPU’s world switches

• Allows NMI masking

• Allows independent world switches of CPUs (CORE_m: CPU0 and CPU1)

16.3 Functional Description

With the help of World Controller, we can allocate different resources to the Secure World and the Non-secure
World:

• Secure World (World0):

– Can access all peripherals and memories;

– Performs all confidential operations, such as fingerprint identification, password processing, data
encryption and decryption, security authentication, etc.

• Non-secure World (World1):

– Can access some peripherals and memories;

– Performs other operations, such as user operation and different applications, etc.

ESP32-S3’s CPU and slave devices are both configurable with permission to either Secure World and/or
Non-Secure World:

• CPU can be in either world at a particular time:

– In Secure World: performs confidential operations;

– In Non-secure World: performs non-confidential operations;

– By default, CPU runs in Secure World after power-up, then can be programmed to switch between
two worlds.

Espressif Systems 779 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
16 World Controller (WCL) GoBack

• All slave devices (including peripherals* and memories) can be configured to be accessible from the Secure
World and/or the Non-secure World:

– Secure World Access: this slave can be called from Secure World only, meaning it can be accessed
only when CPU is in Secure World;

– Non-secure World Access: this slave can be called from Non-secure World only, meaning it can be
accessed only when CPU is in Non-secure World.

– Note that a slave can be configured to be accessible from both Secure World and Non-secure World
simultaneously.

For details, please refer to Chapter 15 Permission Control (PMS).

Note:
* World Controller itself is a peripheral, meaning it also can be granted with Secure World access and/or Non-secure World
access, just like all other peripherals. However, to secure the world switch mechanism, World Controller should not be
accessible from Non-secure world. Therefore, world controller should not be granted with Non-secure World access,
preventing any modification to world controller from the Non-secure World.

When CPU accesses any slaves:

1. First, CPU notifies the salve about its own world information;

2. Second, slave decides if it can be accessed by CPU based on the CPU’s world information and it’s own
world permission configuration.

• if allowed, then this slave responds to CPU;

• if not allowed, then this slave will not respond to CPU and trigger an interrupt.

In this way, the resources in the Secure World will not be illegally accessible by the Non-secure World in an
unauthorized way.

16.4 CPU’s World Switch

CPU can switch from Secure World to Non-secure World, and from Non-secure World to Secure World.

16.4.1 From Secure World to Non­secure World

void main ( void ){

…
…

WORLD_PREPARE=1<<1
Function A Entry addr configuration
WORLD_TRIGGER_ADDR
WORLD_UPDATA
…
…
…

asm(“memw”)
Function A Entry Non-secure World

Figure 16­1. Switching From Secure World to Non­secure World

ESP32-S3’s CPU only needs to complete the following steps to switch from Secure World to Non-secure
World:

1. Configure the World Controller, as described below.

2. Clear the data stored in write_buffer, as described in Section 16.4.3.

After that, CPU can switch to the Non-secure World.

However, it’s worth noting that you cannot call the application in Non-secure world immediately after configuring
the World Controller. For reasons such as CPU pre-indexed addressing and pipeline, it is possible that the CPU
have already executed the application in Non-secure World before the World Controller configuration is effective,
meaning the CPU runs unsecured application in the Secure World.

Therefore, you need to make sure the CPU only calls applications in the Non-secure world after the World
Controller configuration takes effect. This can be guaranteed by declaring the applications in the Non­secure
World as “noinline”.

Configuring the World Controller

The steps to configure the World Controller to switch the CPU from the Secure World to the Non-secure World
are described below:

1. Write 0x2 to Register WCL_CORE_m_WORLD_PERPARE_REG, indicating the CPU needs to switch to the
Non-secure World.

2. Configure Register WCL_CORE_m_World_TRIGGER_ADDR_REG as the entry address to the Non-secure

World, i.e., the address of the application in the Non-secure World that needs to be executed.

3. Write any value to Register WCL_CORE_m_World_UPDATE_REG, indicating the configuration is done.

Espressif Systems 781 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
16 World Controller (WCL) GoBack

Note:

• Register WCL_CORE_m_World_UPDATE_REG must be configured at last.

• Registers WCL_COREm_WORLD_PERPARE_REG and WCL_CORE_m_World_TRIGGER_ADDR_REG can be con-

figured in any order.

• After the configuration, you also need to use assembly instruction memw (memory wait) to clear write_buffer. For
details, see Section 16.4.3.

Afterwards, the World Controller keeps monitoring if CPU is executing the configured address of the application
in Non-secure World. CPU switches to the Non-secure World once it executes the configured address, and
executes the applications in the Non-secure World.

After configuration, the World Controller:

• Keeps monitoring until the CPU executes the configured address and switches to the Non-secure World.

– Write any value to Register WCL_CORE_m_World_Cancel_REG to cancel the World Controller

configuration. After the cancellation, CPU will not switch to the Non-secure World even it executes to
the configured address. Note that you also need to use assembly instruction memw (memory wait) to
clear write_buffer. For details, see Section 16.4.3.

• The World Controller can only switch from the Secure World to Non-secure World once per configuration.
Therefore, the World Controller needs to be configured again after each world switch to prepare it for the
next world switch.

Function B Entry Secure World

Figure 16­2. Switching From Non­secure World to Secure World

CPU can only switch from Non-secure World to Secure World via Interrupts (or Exceptions). After configuring
the World Controller, the CPU can switch back Non-secure World to Secure World upon the configured Interrupt
trigger.

Espressif Systems 782 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
16 World Controller (WCL) GoBack

See details below:

1. Configure Registers WCL_CORE_m_MESSAGE_ADDR_REG and WCL_CORE_m_MESSAGE_MAX_REG

to clear write_buffer, as described in Section 16.4.3.

2. Configure Registers WCL_CORE_m_ENTRY_n_ADDR_REG (n: 1-13) as the entry address of interrupts (or
exceptions).

• Note that all of ESP32-S3’s interrupts and exceptions are using VecBase + offset as its address.
Therefore, you need to configure WCL_CORE_m_ENTRY_n_ADDR_REG (n: 1-13) whenever you
modify the VecBase.

3. Configure Register WCL_CORE_m_ENTRY_CHECK_REG to enable the monitor of a certain entry. In this

way, the CPU switches to the Secure World immediately when it executes the address monitored at this
particular entry.

• Bit x controls the entry monitoring of Entry x (WCL_CORE_m_ENTRY_x_ADDR_REG). You can enable
monitoring for more than one entry.

– 0: Disable monitoring

– 1: Enable monitoring

• Register WCL_CORE_m_ENTRY_CHECK_REG is effective after configuration all the time till it’s
disabled, meaning you don’t need to configure this register every time after each world switch.

16.4.3 Clearing the write_buffer

ESP32-S3 has implemented write_buffer, which means the CPU buses can still hold some data from or execute
instructions from the other world after world switches. To improve data security, we need to clear the
writer_buffer before world switching:

• Switching from Secure World to Non­secure World

– Use assembly instruction memw (memory wait).

• Switching from Non­secure World to Secure World

– Switch CPU data bus:

1. Pre-configure the following registers:

* Configures Register WCL_CORE_m_MESSAGE_ADDR_REG to an address in the

Non-secure World;

* Configure Register WCL_CORE_m_MESSAGE_MAX_REG to Z (Z ∈ {3, 4, . . . , 16})

2. Write sequences of 0, 1, …, Z-1, Z to the address configured in Register

WCL_CORE_m_MESSAGE_ADDR_REG before world switching. For example, if Z is configured
to 3, then you need to write sequences of 0, 1, 2, 3 into the configured address; if Z is 5, then
write 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

3. Afterwards, the CPU will switch its data bus to the other world once it detects the agreed
sequences configured in WCL_CORE_m_MESSAGE_MAX_REG are being written to the agreed
address configured in WCL_CORE_m_MESSAGE_ADDR_REG.

16.5 World Switch Log

In actual use cases, CPU is switching between two worlds quite frequently and has to deal with nested
interrupts. To be able to restore to the previous world, World Controller keeps a world switching log in a series of
registers, which is called “World Switch Log Table”.

16.5.1 Structure of World Switch Log Register

ESP32-S3’s World Switch Log Table consists of 13 WCL_CORE_m_STATUSTABLEn_REG(n: 1-13) registers (see
Figure 16-3). The world switching of address configured in WCL_CORE_m_ENTRY_x_ADDR_REG, which is
monitored at Entry x, is logged in WCL_CORE_m_STATUSTABLEx_REG.

StatusTableX
5 4 1 0
current from_entry from_world

Figure 16­3. World Switch Log Register

• WCL_CORE_m_FROM_WORLD_n: logs the world information before the world switch.

– 0: CUP was in Secure World

– 1: CPU was in Non-secure World

• WCL_CORE_m_FROM_ENTRY_n: logs the entry information before the world switch.

– 0: CPU was not at any interrupts monitored at any entry.

– 1 - 13: CPU was at the interrupt monitored at a certain entry.

• WCL_CORE_m_CURRENT_n: indicates if CPU is at the interrupt monitored at the current entry. When
CPU is at the interrupt monitored at Entry x,

– WCL_CORE_m_CURRENT_x is updated to 1,

– and the same fields of all other entries are updated to 0.

16.5.2 How World Switch Log Registers are Updated

To explain this process, assuming:

1. At the beginning:

• CPU is running in the Non-secure World;

• Registers WCL_CORE_m_STATUSTABLEn_REG(n: 1-13) are all empty.

2. Then an interrupt occurs at Entry 9;

3. Then another interrupt with higher priority occurs at Entry 1;

4. Then the last interrupt with highest priority occurs at Entry 4.

The World Switch Log Table is updated as described below:

Submit Documentation Feedback
16 World Controller (WCL) GoBack

1. First, an interrupt occurs at Entry 9. At this time, CPU executes to the entry address of this interrupt. The
World Switch Log Table is updated as described in Figure 16-4:

Figure 16­4. Nested Interrupts Handling ­ Entry 9

• WCL_CORE_m_STATUSTABLE9_REG

– Field WCL_CORE_m_FROM_WORLD_9 is updated to 1, indicating CPU was in Non-secure

World before the interrupt.

– Field WCL_CORE_m_FROM_ENTRY_9 is updated to 0, indicating there was not any interrupt

before this one.

– Field WCL_CORE_m_CURRENT_9 is updated to 1, indicating the CPU is currently at the interrupt

monitored at Entry 9.

• Other WCL_CORE_m_STATUSTABLEn_REG registers are not updated.

2. Then another interrupt with higher priority occurs at Entry 1. At this time, CPU executes to the entry
address of this interrupt. The World Switch Log Table is updated again as described in Figure 16-5:

Figure 16­5. Nested Interrupts Handling ­ Entry 1

• WCL_CORE_m_STATUSTABLE1_REG

– Field WCL_CORE_m_FROM_WORLD_1 is updated to 0, indicating the CPU was in Secure World

before this interrupt.

– Field WCL_CORE_m_FROM_ENTRY_1 is updated to 9, indicating the CPU was executing the

interrupt at Entry 9.

– Field WCL_CORE_m_CURRENT_1 is updated to 1, indicating CPU is currently at the interrupt

monitored at Entry 1.

Espressif Systems 785 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
16 World Controller (WCL) GoBack

• WCL_CORE_m_STATUSTABLE9_REG

– Field WCL_CORE_m_CURRENT_9 is updated to 0, indicating CPU is no longer at the interrupt

monitored at Entry 9 (Instead, CPU is at the interrupt monitored at Entry 1 already).

– Fields WCL_CORE_m_FROM_WORLD_9 and WCL_CORE_m_FROM_ENTRY_9 stay the same.

• Other WCL_CORE_m_STATUSTABLEn_REG registers are not updated.

3. Then the last interrupt with highest priority occurs at Entry 4. At this time, CPU executes to the entry
address of interrupt 4. The World Switch Log Table is updated again as described in Figure 16-6:

Figure 16­6. Nested Interrupts Handling ­ Entry 4

• WCL_CORE_m_STATUSTABLE4_REG

– Field WCL_CORE_m_FROM_WORLD_4 is updated to 0, indicating the CPU was in Secure World

before this interrupt.

– Field WCL_CORE_m_FROM_ENTRY_4 is updated to 1, indicating the CPU was the interrupt at

Entry 1.

– Field WCL_CORE_m_CURRENT_4 is updated to 1, indicating the CPU is currently at the interrupt

monitored an Entry 4.

• WCL_CORE_m_STATUSTABLE1_REG

– Field WCL_CORE_m_CURRENT_1 is updated to 0, indicating the CPU is no longer at the

interrupt monitored at Entry 1 (Instead CPU is at the interrupt monitored at Entry 4 already).

– Fields WCL_CORE_m_FROM_WORLD_1 and WCL_CORE_m_FROM_ENTRY_1 are not updated.

• Other WCL_CORE_m_STATUSTABLEn_REG registers are not updated.

16.5.3 How to Read World Switch Log Registers

By reading World Switch Log Registers, we get to understand the information of previous world switches and
nested interrupts, thus being able to restore to previous world.

Steps are described below: (See Figure 16-6 as an example):

1. Read Register WCL_CORE_m_STATUSTABLE_CURRENT_REG, and understand CPU is now at the

interrupt monitored at Entry 4.

2. Read 1 from Field WCL_CORE_m_FROM_ENTRY_4, and understand the CPU was at an interrupt
monitored at Entry 1.

Espressif Systems 786 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
16 World Controller (WCL) GoBack

3. Read 9 from Field WCL_CORE_m_FROM_ENTRY_1, and understand the CPU was at an interrupt
monitored at Entry 9.

4. Read 0 from WCL_CORE_m_FROM_ENTRY_9, and understand CPU wasn’t at any interrupt. Then read 1
from WCL_CORE_m_FROM_WORLD_9, and understand CPU was in Non-secure World at the begining.

16.5.4 Nested Interrupts

ESP32-S3 supports nested interrupts, for example:

1. An interrupt A occurs. CPU jumps to interrupt A entry, which triggers world switches.

2. When CPU is handling interrupt A, an interrupt B with higher priority occurs.

3. Then the CPU drops the current interrupt A and switches to the higher priority interrupt B first.

4. After returning from interrupt B, CPU resumes executing the instruction at interrupt A entry, which triggers
world switches again.

In this way, CPU executes the entry address of the first interrupt twice (one time when the interrupt occurs and
another time when CPU returns to this interrupt), and thus triggering the world switches twice, which inevitably
leads to multiple records tracked for the same interrupt in World Switch Log and prevents the CPU from restoring
to the previous world correctly.

16.5.4.1 How to Handle Nested Interrupts

To avoid multiple records being logged incorrectly in the World Switch Log, the following actions must be
completed:

• During the design stage, add two assembly instruction NOP.N (No Operation) to the vector entrance of all
interrupts and exceptions.

• During the execution, update the address where the interrupts return to following the instructions described
in 16.5.4.2.

In this way, when returning to the interrupt at Entry B, the interrupt monitored at Entry A will not return to the entry
address of Entry B, but the address after the NOP instructions, thus preventing to trigger the world controller
unexpectedly. Also, the NOP instruction doesn’t do anything, so nothing is changed even when the NOP
instructions are skipped.

16.5.4.2 Programming Procedure

Handling the interrupt at Entry A:

1. Clear the write_buffer by writing the agreed sequences configured in Register

WCL_CORE_m_MESSAGE_MAX_REG to the address configured in
WCL_CORE_m_MESSAGE_ADDR_REG. For details, see Section 16.4.3.

2. Execute the interrupt programs.

3. Disable all interrupts.

4. Update the address where the interrupt at Entry A returns to:

• Read Field WCL_CORE_m_FROM_ENTRY_A for Entry A:

Submit Documentation Feedback
16 World Controller (WCL) GoBack

– 0: indicates all interrupts are handled, and returns to a normal program:

(a) Update Field WCL_CORE_m_CURRENT_A of Entry A to 0, indicating the CPU is no longer at

the interrupt monitored at Entry A.

(b) Go to Step 5.

– 1 - 13: indicates the CPU returns to another interrupt monitored at Entry B,

(a) First, check the return address of the interrupt at Entry A:

* If it points to the first NOP.N instruction of the interrupt at Entry B, then add 4 to the return
address of the interrupt at Entry A.

* If it points to the second NOP.N instruction of the interrupt at Entry B, then add 2 to the
return address of the interrupt at Entry A.

* If it points to other address, then no need to update the return address.

(b) Update the How to Read World Switch Log Registers:

* Update the world switch register of Entry A:

· Update Field WCL_CORE_m_CURRENT_A to 0, indicating the CPU is no longer at the

interrupt monitored at Entry A.

· Fields WCL_CORE_m_FROM_WORLD_A and WCL_CORE_m_FROM_ENTRY_A stay

the same.

* Update the world switch register of Entry B:

· Update Field WCL_CORE_m_CURRENT_B to 1, indicating the CPU will return to Entry B.

5. Prepare to exit interrupt.

(a) Check if CPU needs to switch to the other world:

• If world switch not required, then go to Step 6.

• If world switch required, then switch the CPU to the other world following instructions described
in Section 16.4, then go to Step 6.

6. Enable interrupts, and exit.

Note:
Steps 4 and 5 should not be interrupted by any interrupts. Therefore, users need to disable all the interrupts before these
steps, and enable interrupts once done.

16.6 NMI Interrupt Masking

Some software process of ESP32-S3 should not be interrupted. For example, the configuration of World
Controller should not be interrupted by any interrupts, including the NMI interrupts.

Normally, we can configure some CPU registers to mask different kinds of interrupts, but NMI interrupt is not one
of them. To mask an NMI interrupt, you need to configure the interrupt sources, which is more complicated. For
details, see Chapter 9 Interrupt Matrix (INTERRUPT).

World Controller has implemented some hardware mechanism to simplify the process to mask NMI interrupts
for:

• All applications:

– Configure WCL_CORE_m_NMI_MASK:

* 1: Enable

* 0: Disable

• Some applications:

1. Configures WCL_CORE_m_NMI_MASK_TRIGGER_ADDR to the address at which the NMI interrupt

masking ends, meaning the CPU stops masking NMI interrupts after this address.

2. Write any value to WCL_CORE_m_NMI_MASK_DISABLE, indicating the completion of

TRIGGER_ADDR configuration.

3. Write any value to WCL_CORE_m_NMI_MASK_ENABLE to start masking NMI interrupts till the
address configured in WCL_CORE_m_NMI_MASK_TRIGGER_ADDR.

Note:

• Only one of the above two methods should be used at the same time.

• The configuration to mask NMI interrupts is effective all the time until trigger address executes. Therefore, you need
to configure the world controller to mask NMI interrupts again once trigger address executes.

16.7 Register Summary

The addresses in this section are relative to the World Controller base address provided in Table 4-3 in Chapter 4
System and Memory.

Note that, the table below only lists the registers for CPU0. CPU1 shares exactly the same set of registers.
Adding 0x0400 to the offset of the equivalent of CPU0 register gives you address for CPU1 registers.

For example, the offset for CPU0 register WCL_CORE_0_ENTRY_CHECK_REG is 0x007C, the offset for CPU1
equivalent WCL_CORE_1_ENTRY_CHECK_REG should be 0x007C + 0x0400, which is 0x047C.

17 System Registers (SYSTEM)

17.1 Overview
The ESP32-S3 integrates a large number of peripherals, and enables the control of individual peripherals to
achieve optimal characteristics in performance-vs-power-consumption scenarios. Specifically, ESP32-S3 has a
various of system configuration registers that can be used for the chip’s clock management (clock gating), power
management, and the configuration of peripherals and core-system modules. This chapter lists all these system
registers and their functions.

17.2 Features
ESP32-S3 system registers can be used to control the following peripheral blocks and core modules:

• System and memory

• Clock

• Software Interrupt

• Low-power management

• Peripheral clock gating and reset

• CPU Control

17.3 Function Description

17.3.1 System and Memory Registers

17.3.1.1 Internal Memory

The following registers can be used to control ESP32-S3’s internal memory:

• In register APB_CTRL_CLKGATE_FORCE_ON_REG:

– Setting different bits of the APB_CTRL_ROM_CLKGATE_FORCE_ON field forces on the clock gates
of different blocks of Internal ROM 0 and Internal ROM 1.

– Setting different bits of the APB_CTRL_SRAM_CLKGATE_FORCE_ON field forces on the clock gates
of different blocks of Internal SRAM.

– This means when the respective bits of this register are set to 1, the clock gate of the corresponding
ROM or SRAM blocks will always be on. Otherwise, the clock gate will turn on automatically when the
corresponding ROM or SRAM blocks are accessed and turn off automatically when the corresponding
ROM or SRAM blocks are not accessed. Therefore, it’s recommended to configure these bits to 0 to
lower power consumption.

• In register APB_CTRL_MEM_POWER_DOWN_REG:

– Setting different bits of the APB_CTRL_ROM_POWER_DOWN field sends different blocks of Internal
ROM 0 and Internal ROM 1 into retention state.

Espressif Systems 799 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
17 System Registers (SYSTEM) GoBack

– Setting different bits of the APB_CTRL_SRAM_POWER_DOWN field sends different blocks of Internal
SRAM into retention state.

– The “Retention” state is a low-power state of a memory block. In this state, the memory block still
holds all the data stored but cannot be accessed, thus reducing the power consumption. Therefore,
you can send a certain block of memory into the retention state to reduce power consumption if you
know you are not going to use such memory block for some time.

• In register APB_CTRL_MEM_POWER_UP_REG:

– By default, all memory enters low-power state when the chip enters the Light-sleep mode.

– Setting different bits of the APB_CTRL_ROM_POWER_UP field forces different blocks of Internal ROM
0 and Internal ROM 1 to work as normal (do not enter the retention state) when the chip enters
Light-sleep.

– Setting different bits of the APB_CTRL_SRAM_POWER_UP field forces different blocks of Internal
SRAM to work as normal (do not enter the retention state) when the chip enters Light-sleep.

For detailed information about the controlling bits of different blocks, please see Table 17-1 below.

• Setting the SYSTEM_RSA_MEM_PD bit to send the RSA memory into retention state. This bit has the
lowest priority, meaning it can be masked by the SYSTEM_RSA_MEM_FORCE_PU field. This bit is invalid
when the Digital Signature (DS) occupies the RSA.

• Setting the SYSTEM_RSA_MEM_FORCE_PU bit to force the RSA memory to work as normal when the
chip enters light sleep. This bit has the second highest priority, meaning it overrides the
SYSTEM_RSA_MEM_PD field.

• Setting the SYSTEM_RSA_MEM_FORCE_PD bit to send the RSA memory into retention state. This bit has
the highest priority, meaning it sends the RSA memory into retention state regardless of the
SYSTEM_RSA_MEM_FORCE_PU field.

17.3.2 Clock Registers

The following registers are used to set clock sources and frequency. For more information, please refer to
Chapter 7 Reset and Clock.

• SYSTEM_CPU_PER_CONF_REG

• SYSTEM_SYSCLK_CONF_REG

• SYSTEM_BT_LPCK_DIV_FRAC_REG

17.3.3 Interrupt Signal Registers

The following registers are used for generating the interrupt signals, which then can be routed to the CPU
peripheral interrupts via the interrupt matrix. To be more specific, writing 1 to any of the following registers
generates an interrupt signal. Therefore, these registers can be used by software to control interrupts. For more
information, please refer to Chapter 9 Interrupt Matrix (INTERRUPT).

• SYSTEM_CPU_INTR_FROM_CPU_0_REG

• SYSTEM_CPU_INTR_FROM_CPU_1_REG

• SYSTEM_CPU_INTR_FROM_CPU_2_REG

• SYSTEM_CPU_INTR_FROM_CPU_3_REG

17.3.4 Low­power Management Registers

AES Accelerator SYSTEM_CRYPTO_AES_CLK_EN SYSTEM_CRYPTO_AES_RST

peri backup SYSTEM_PERI_BACKUP_CLK_EN SYSTEM_PERI_BACKUP_RST

Note:
1. Setting the clock enable register to 1 enables the clock, and to 0 disables the clock;

2. Setting the reset enabling register to 1 resets a peripheral, and to 0 disables the reset.

3. Reset registers cannot be cleared by hardware. Therefore, SW reset clear is required after setting the reset registers.

4. UART memory is shared by all UART peripherals, meaning having any active UART peripherals will prevent the
UART memory from entering the clock-gated state.

5. When DMA is required for peripheral communications, for example, UCHI0, SPI, I2S, LCD_CAM, AES, SHA and
ADC, DMA clock should also be enabled.

6. Resetting this bit also resets the SHA accelerator.

7. Resetting this bit also resets the AES, SHA, and RSA accelerators.

17.3.6 CPU Control Registers

These registers control CPU0 and CPU1 of ESP32-S3. Note that, by default, only CPU0 is started when the SoC
powers up. During this time, the clock of CPU1 is disabled. Therefore, users need to enable CPU1 clock
manually to use both CPU0 and CPU1.

• SYSTEM_CORE_1_CONTROL_0_REG

– Setting the SYSTEM_CONTROL_CORE_1_RESETING bit resets CPU1.

– SYSTEM_CONTROL_CORE_1_CLKGATE_EN controls the CPU1 clock.

– Setting the SYSTEM_CONTROL_CORE_1_RUNSTALL bit stalls CPU1. When this bit is set, CPU1 will
finish the on-going task and stalls.

• Register SYSTEM_CORE_1_CONTROL_1_REG is used to facilitate the communication between CPU0

and CPU1. To be more specific, one CPU can write this register, using the agreed-on formats, which will
then be read by the other CPU, thus achieving communication between these two CPUs. Note that the
value in this register will not affect any hardware configuration, which allows CPU communication solely
controlled by software.

SYSTEM_PLL_FREQ_SEL Set this bit to select the PLL clock frequency. (R/W)

SYSTEM_CPU_WAIT_MODE_FORCE_ON Set this bit to force on the clock gate of CPU wait mode.
Usually, after executing the WAITI instruction, CPU enters the wait mode, during which the clock
gate of CPU is turned off until any interrupts occur. In this way, power consumption is reduced.
However, if this bit is set, the clock gate of CPU is always on and will not be turned off by the WAITI
instruction. (R/W)

SYSTEM_CPU_WAITI_DELAY_NUM Sets the number of delay cycles to turn off the CPU clock gate
after the CPU enters the wait mode because of a WAITI instruction. (R/W)

18 SHA Accelerator (SHA)

18.1 Introduction
ESP32-S3 integrates an SHA accelerator, which is a hardware device that speeds up SHA algorithm significantly,
compared to SHA algorithm implemented solely in software. The SHA accelerator integrated in ESP32-S3 has
two working modes, which are Typical SHA and DMA-SHA.

18.2 Features
The following functionality is supported:

• All the hash algorithms introduced in FIPS PUB 180-4 Spec.

– SHA-1

– SHA-224

– SHA-256

– SHA-384

– SHA-512

– SHA-512/224

– SHA-512/256

– SHA-512/t

• Two working modes

– Typical SHA

– DMA-SHA

• interleaved function when working in Typical SHA working mode

• Interrupt function when working in DMA-SHA working mode

18.3 Working Modes

The SHA accelerator integrated in ESP32-S3 has two working modes.

• Typical SHA Working Mode: all the data is written and read via CPU directly.

• DMA-SHA Working Mode: all the data is read via DMA. That is, users can configure the DMA controller to
read all the data needed for hash operation, thus releasing CPU for completing other tasks.

Users can start the SHA accelerator with different working modes by configuring registers SHA_START_REG and
SHA_DMA_START_REG. For details, please see Table 18-1.

Table 18­1. SHA Accelerator Working Mode

Working Mode Configuration Method

Typical SHA Set SHA_START_REG to 1
DMA-SHA Set SHA_DMA_START_REG to 1

Users can choose hash algorithms by configuring the SHA_MODE_REG register. For details, please see Table
18-2.

SHA-256 2
SHA-384 3
SHA-512 4
SHA-512/224 5
SHA-512/256 6
SHA-512/t 7

Notice:
ESP32-S3’s Digital Signature (DS) and HMAC Accelerator (HMAC) modules also call the SHA accelerator.
Therefore, users cannot access the SHA accelerator when these modules are working.

18.4 Function Description

SHA accelerator can generate the message digest via two steps: Preprocessing and Hash operation.

18.4.1 Preprocessing
Preprocessing consists of three steps: padding the message, parsing the message into message blocks and
setting the initial hash value.

18.4.1.1 Padding the Message

The SHA accelerator can only process message blocks of 512 or 1024 bits, depending on the algorithm. Thus,
all the messages should be padded to a multiple of 512 or 1024 bits before the hash task.

Suppose that the length of the message M is m bits. Then M shall be padded as introduced below:

• SHA­1, SHA­224 and SHA­256

1. First, append the bit “1” to the end of the message;

2. Second, append k zero bits, where k is the smallest, non-negative solution to the equation
m + 1 + k ≡ 448 mod 512;

3. Last, append the 64-bit block of value equal to the number m expressed using a binary representation.

Espressif Systems 820 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
18 SHA Accelerator (SHA) GoBack

• SHA­384, SHA­512, SHA­512/224, SHA­512/256 and SHA­512/t

1. First, append the bit “1” to the end of the message;

2. Second, append k zero bits, where k is the smallest, non-negative solution to the equation
m + 1 + k ≡ 896 mod 1024;

3. Last, append the 128-bit block of value equal to the number m expressed using a binary
representation.

For more details, please refer to Section “5.1 Padding the Message” in FIPS PUB 180-4 Spec.

18.4.1.2 Parsing the Message

The message and its padding must be parsed into N 512-bit or 1024-bit blocks.

• For SHA­1, SHA­224 and SHA­256: the message and its padding are parsed into N 512-bit blocks, M (1) ,
M (2) , …, M (N ) . Since the 512 bits of the input block may be expressed as sixteen 32-bit words, the first
(i) (i) (i)
32 bits of message block i are denoted M0 , the next 32 bits are M1 , and so on up to M15 .

• For SHA­384, SHA­512, SHA­512/224, SHA­512/256 and SHA­512/t: the message and its padding are
parsed into N 1024-bit blocks. Since the 1024 bits of the input block may be expressed as sixteen 64-bit
(i) (i) (i)
words, the first 64 bits of message block i are denoted M0 , the next 64 bits are M1 , and so on up to M15 .

During the task, all the message blocks are written into the SHA_M_n_REG, following the rules below:
(i) (i)
• For SHA­1, SHA­224 and SHA­256: M0 is stored in SHA_M_0_REG, M1 stored in SHA_M_1_REG, …,
(i)
and M15 stored in SHA_M_15_REG.

• For SHA­384, SHA­512, SHA­512/224 and SHA­512/256: the most significant 32 bits and the least
(i)
significant 32 bits of M0 are stored in SHA_M_0_REG and SHA_M_1_REG, respectively, …, the most
(i)
significant 32 bits and the least significant 32 bits of M15 are stored in SHA_M_30_REG and
SHA_M_31_REG, respectively.

Note:
For more information about “message block”, please refer to Section “2.1 Glossary of Terms and Acronyms” in FIPS PUB
180-4 Spec.

18.4.1.3 Initial Hash Value

Before hash task begins for each of the secure hash algorithms, the initial Hash value H(0) must be set based on
different algorithms, among which the SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-512/224, and
SHA-512/256 algorithms use the initial Hash values (constant C) stored in the hardware.

However, SHA-512/t requires a distinct initial hash value for each operation for a given value of t. Simply put,
SHA-512/t is the generic name for a t-bit hash function based on SHA-512 whose output is truncated to t bits. t
is any positive integer without a leading zero such that t<512, and t is not 384. The initial hash value for
SHA-512/t for a given value of t can be calculated by performing SHA-512 from hexadecimal representation of
the string “SHA-512/t”. It’s not hard to observe that when determining the initial hash values for SHA-512/t
algorithms with different t, the only difference lies in the value of t.

Therefore, we have specially developed the following simplified method to calculate the initial hash value for
SHA-512/t:

Espressif Systems 821 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
18 SHA Accelerator (SHA) GoBack

1. Generate t_string and t_length: t_string is a 32-bit data that stores the input message of t. t_length is a
7-bit data that stores the length of the input message. The t_string and t_length are generated in methods
described below, depending on the value of t:

• If 1 <= t <= 9, then t_length = 7′ h48 and t_string is padded in the following format:
8′ h30 + 8′ ht0 1′ b1 23′ b0

where t0 = t.

For example, if t = 8, then t0 = 8 and t_string = 32′ h38800000.

• If 10 <= t <= 99, then t_length = 7′ h50 and t_string is padded in the following format:
8′ h30 + 8′ ht1 8′ h30 + 8′ ht0 1′ b1 15′ b0

where, t0 = t%10 and t1 = t/10.

For example, if t = 56, then t0 = 6, t1 = 5, and t_string = 32′ h35368000.

• If 100 <= t < 512, then t_length = 7′ h58 and t_string is padded in the following format:
8′ h30 + 8′ ht2 8′ h30 + 8′ ht1 8′ h30 + 8′ ht0 1′ b1 7′ b0

where, t0 = t%10, t1 = (t/10)%10, and t2 = t/100.

For example, if t = 231, then t0 = 1, t1 = 3, t2 = 2, and t_string = 32′ h32333180.

2. Initialize relevant registers: Initialize SHA_T_STRING_REG and SHA_T_LENGTH_REG with the

generated t_string and t_length in the previous step.

3. Obtain initial hash value: Set the SHA_MODE_REG register to 7. Set the SHA_START_REG register to 1
to start the SHA accelerator. Then poll register SHA_BUSY_REG until the content of this register becomes
0, indicating the calculation of initial hash value is completed.

Please note that the initial value for SHA-512/t can be also calculated according to the Section “5.3.6 SHA-512/t”
in FIPS PUB 180-4 Spec, that is performing SHA-512 operation (with its initial hash value set to the result of
8-bitwise XOR operation of C and 0xa5) from the hexadecimal representation of the string “SHA-512/t”.

18.4.2 Hash task Process

After the preprocessing, the ESP32-S3 SHA accelerator starts to hash a message M and generates message
digest of different lengths, depending on different hash algorithms. As described above, the ESP32-S3 SHA
accelerator supports two working modes, which are Typical SHA and DMA-SHA. The operation process for the
SHA accelerator under two working modes is described in the following subsections.

18.4.2.1 Typical SHA Mode Process

Usually, the SHA accelerator will process all blocks of a message and produce a message digest before starting
the next message digest.

However, ESP32-S3 SHA working in Typical SHA mode also supports optional “interleaved” message digest
calculation. Users can insert new calculation (both Typical SHA and DMA-SHA) each time the SHA accelerator
completes one message block. To be more specific, users can store the message digest in registers

Espressif Systems 822 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
18 SHA Accelerator (SHA) GoBack

SHA_H_n_REG after completing each message block, and assign the accelerator with other higher priority tasks.
After the inserted calculation completes, users can put the message digest stored back to registers
SHA_H_n_REG, and resume the accelerator with the previously paused calculation.

Typical SHA Process (except for SHA­512/t)

1. Select a hash algorithm.

• Configure the SHA_MODE_REG register based on Table 18-2.

2. Process the current message block 1 .

• Write the message block in registers SHA_M_n_REG.

3. Start the SHA accelerator.

• If this is the first time to execute this step, set the SHA_START_REG register to 1 to start the SHA
accelerator. In this case, the accelerator uses the initial hash value stored in hardware for a given
algorithm configured in Step 1 to start the calculation;

• If this is not the first time to execute this step2 , set the SHA_CONTINUE_REG register to 1 to start the
SHA accelerator. In this case, the accelerator uses the hash value stored in the SHA_H_n_REG
register to start calculation.

4. Check the progress of the current message block.

• Poll register SHA_BUSY_REG until the content of this register becomes 0, indicating the accelerator
has completed the calculation for the current message block and now is in the “idle” status 3 .

5. Decide if you have more message blocks to process:

• If yes, please go back to Step 2.

• Otherwise, please continue.

6. Obtain the message digest.

• Read the message digest from registers SHA_H_n_REG.

Typical SHA Process (SHA­512/t)

1. Select a hash algorithm.

• Configure the SHA_MODE_REG register to 7 for SHA-512/t.

2. Calculate the initial hash value.

(a) Calculate t_stiring and t_length and initialize SHA_T_STRING_REG and SHA_T_LENGTH_REG with
the generated t_string and t_length. For details, please refer to Section 18.4.1.3.

(b) Set the SHA_START_REG register to 1 to start the SHA accelerator.

(c) Poll register SHA_BUSY_REG until the content of this register becomes 0, indicating the calculation of
initial hash value is completed.

3. Process the current message block1 .

• Write the message block in registers SHA_M_n_REG.

4. Start the SHA accelerator

Espressif Systems 823 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
18 SHA Accelerator (SHA) GoBack

• Set the SHA_CONTINUE_REG register to 1. In this case, the accelerator uses the hash value stored in
the SHA_H_n_REG register to start calculation.

5. Check the progress of the calculation.

• Poll register SHA_BUSY_REG until the content of this register becomes 0, indicating the accelerator
has completed the calculation for the current message block and now is in the “idle” status3 .

6. Decide if you have more message blocks to process:

• If yes, please go back to Step 3.

• Otherwise, please continue.

7. Obtain the message digest.

• Read the message digest from registers SHA_H_n_REG.

Note:
1. In this step, the software can also write the next message block (to be processed) in registers SHA_M_n_REG, if
any, while the hardware starts SHA calculation, to save time.

2. You are resuming the SHA accelerator with the previously paused calculation.

3. Here you can decide if you want to insert other calculations. If yes, please go to the process for interleaved
calculations for details.

As mentioned above, ESP32-S3 SHA accelerator supports “interleaving” calculation under the Typical SHA
working mode.

The process to implement interleaved calculation is described below.

1. Prepare to hand the SHA accelerator over for an interleaved calculation by saving the following data of the
previous calculation.

• The selected hash algorithm stored in the SHA_MODE_REG register.

• The message digest stored in registers SHA_H_n_REG.

2. Perform the interleaved calculation. For the detailed process of the interleaved calculation, please refer to
Typical SHA process or DMA-SHA process, depending on the working mode of your interleaved calculation.

3. Prepare to hand the SHA accelerator back to the previously paused calculation by restoring the following
data of the previous calculation.

• Write the previously stored hash algorithm back to register SHA_MODE_REG

• Write the previously stored message digest back to registers SHA_H_n_REG

4. Write the next message block from the previous paused calculation in registers SHA_M_n_REG, and set the
SHA_CONTINUE_REG register to 1 to restart the SHA accelerator with the previously paused calculation.

18.4.2.2 DMA­SHA Mode Process

ESP32-S3 SHA accelerator does not support “interleaving” message digest calculation when using the DMA,
which means you cannot insert new calculation before the whole DMA-SHA process completes. In this case,

Submit Documentation Feedback
18 SHA Accelerator (SHA) GoBack

users who need inserted calculation are recommended to divide your message blocks and perform several
DMA-SHA calculation, instead of trying to compute all the messages in one go.

In contrast to the Typical SHA working mode, when the SHA accelerator is working under the DMA-SHA mode,
all data read are completed via DMA.

Therefore, users are required to configure the DMA controller following the description in Chapter 3 GDMA
Controller (GDMA).

DMA­SHA process (except SHA­512/t)

1. Select a hash algorithm.

• Select a hash algorithm by configuring the SHA_MODE_REG register. For details, please refer to Table
18-2.

2. Configure the SHA_INT_ENA_REG register to enable or disable interrupt (Set 1 to enable).

3. Configure the number of message blocks.

• Write the number of message blocks M to the SHA_DMA_BLOCK_NUM_REG register.

4. Start the DMA-SHA calculation.

• If the current DMA-SHA calculation follows a previous calculation, firstly write the message digest from
the previous calculation to registers SHA_H_n_REG, then write 1 to register
SHA_DMA_CONTINUE_REG to start SHA accelerator;

• Otherwise, write 1 to register SHA_DMA_START_REG to start the accelerator.

5. Wait till the completion of the DMA-SHA calculation, which happens when:

• The content of SHA_BUSY_REG register becomes 0, or

• An SHA interrupt occurs. In this case, please clear interrupt by writing 1 to the SHA_INT_CLEAR_REG
register.

6. Obtain the message digest:

• Read the message digest from registers SHA_H_n_REG.

DMA­SHA process for SHA­512/t

1. Select a hash algorithm.

• Select SHA-512/t algorithm by configuring the SHA_MODE_REG register to 7.

2. Configure the SHA_INT_ENA_REG register to enable or disable interrupt (Set 1 to enable).

3. Calculate the initial hash value.

(a) Calculate t_string and t_length and initialize SHA_T_STRING_REG and SHA_T_LENGTH_REG with
the generated t_string and t_length. For details, please refer to Section 18.4.1.3.

(b) Set the SHA_START_REG register to 1 to start the SHA accelerator.

(c) Poll register SHA_BUSY_REG until the content of this register becomes 0, indicating the calculation of
initial hash value is completed.

4. Configure the number of message blocks.

• Write the number of message blocks M to the SHA_DMA_BLOCK_NUM_REG register.

5. Start the DMA-SHA calculation.

• Write 1 to register SHA_DMA_CONTINUE_REG to start the accelerator.

6. Wait till the completion of the DMA-SHA calculation, which happens when:

• The content of SHA_BUSY_REG register becomes 0, or

• An SHA interrupt occurs. In this case, please clear interrupt by writing 1 to the SHA_INT_CLEAR_REG
register.

7. Obtain the message digest:

• Read the message digest from registers SHA_H_n_REG.

18.4.3 Message Digest

After the hash task completes, the SHA accelerator writes the message digest from the task to registers
SHA_H_n_REG(n: 0~15). The lengths of the generated message digest are different depending on different hash
algorithms. For details, see Table 18-6 below:

Table 18­6. The Storage and Length of Message digest from Different Algorithms

Hash Algorithm Length of Message Digest (in bits) Storage1

SHA-1 160 SHA_H_0_REG ~ SHA_H_4_REG
SHA-224 224 SHA_H_0_REG ~ SHA_H_6_REG
SHA-256 256 SHA_H_0_REG ~ SHA_H_7_REG
SHA-384 384 SHA_H_0_REG ~ SHA_H_11_REG
SHA-512 512 SHA_H_0_REG ~ SHA_H_15_REG
SHA-512/224 224 SHA_H_0_REG ~ SHA_H_6_REG
SHA-512/256 256 SHA_H_0_REG ~ SHA_H_7_REG
2
SHA-512/t t SHA_H_0_REG ~ SHA_H_x_REG
1
The message digest are stored in registers from most significant bits to the least significant
bits, with the first word stored in register SHA_H_0_REG and the second word stored in
register SHA_H_1_REG... For details, please see subsection 18.4.1.2.
2
The registers used for SHA-512/t algorithm depend on the value of t. x+1 indicates the
number of 32-bit registers used to store t bits of message digest, so that x = roundup(t/32)-
1. For example:
• When t = 8, then x = 0, indicating that the 8-bit long message digest is stored in the
most significant 8 bits of register SHA_H_0_REG;
• When t = 32, then x = 0, indicating that the 32-bit long message digest is stored in
register SHA_H_0_REG;
• When t = 132, then x = 4, indicating that the 132-bit long message digest is stored
in registers SHA_H_0_REG, SHA_H_1_REG, SHA_H_2_REG, SHA_H_3_REG, and
SHA_H_4_REG.

18.4.4 Interrupt
SHA accelerator supports interrupt on the completion of message digest calculation when working in the
DMA-SHA mode. To enable this function, write 1 to register SHA_INT_ENA_REG. Note that the interrupt should
be cleared by software after use via setting the SHA_INT_CLEAR_REG register to 1.

19 AES Accelerator (AES)

19.1 Introduction
ESP32-S3 integrates an Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Accelerator, which is a hardware device that
speeds up AES Algorithm significantly, compared to AES algorithms implemented solely in software. The AES
Accelerator integrated in ESP32-S3 has two working modes, which are Typical AES and DMA-AES.

19.2 Features
The following functionality is supported:

• Typical AES working mode

– AES-128/AES-256 encryption and decryption

• DMA-AES working mode

– AES-128/AES-256 encryption and decryption

– Block cipher mode

* ECB (Electronic Codebook)

* CBC (Cipher Block Chaining)

* OFB (Output Feedback)

* CTR (Counter)

* CFB8 (8-bit Cipher Feedback)

* CFB128 (128-bit Cipher Feedback)

– Interrupt on completion of computation

19.3 AES Working Modes

The AES Accelerator integrated in ESP32-S3 has two working modes, which are Typical AES and
DMA-AES.

• Typical AES Working Mode:

– Supports encryption and decryption using cryptographic keys of 128 and 256 bits, specified in NIST
FIPS 197.

In this working mode, the plaintext and ciphertext is written and read via CPU directly.

• DMA-AES Working Mode:

– Supports encryption and decryption using cryptographic keys of 128 and 256 bits, specified in NIST
FIPS 197;

– Supports block cipher modes ECB/CBC/OFB/CTR/CFB8/CFB128 under NIST SP 800-38A.

In this working mode, the plaintext and ciphertext is written and read via DMA. An interrupt will be
generated when operation completes.

Users can choose the working mode for AES accelerator by configuring the AES_DMA_ENABLE_REG register
according to Table 19-1 below.

Table 19­1. AES Accelerator Working Mode

AES_DMA_ENABLE_REG Working Mode

0 Typical AES
1 DMA-AES

Users can choose the length of cryptographic keys and encryption / decryption by configuring the
AES_MODE_REG register according to Table 19-2 below.

Table 19­2. Key Length and Encryption / Decryption

AES_MODE_REG[2:0] Key Length and Encryption / Decryption

0 AES-128 encryption
1 reserved
2 AES-256 encryption
3 reserved
4 AES-128 decryption
5 reserved
6 AES-256 decryption
7 reserved

For detailed introduction on these two working modes, please refer to Section 19.4 and Section 19.5
below.

Notice: ESP32-S3’s Digital Signature (DS) module will call the AES accelerator. Therefore, users cannot
access the AES accelerator when Digital Signature (DS) module is working.

19.4 Typical AES Working Mode

In the Typical AES working mode, users can check the working status of the AES accelerator by inquiring the
AES_STATE_REG register and comparing the return value against the Table 19-3 below.

Table 19­3. Working Status under Typical AES Working Mode

AES_STATE_REG Status Description

0 IDLE The AES accelerator is idle or completed operation.
1 WORK The AES accelerator is in the middle of an operation.

19.4.1 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-256 encryption/decryption, the 256-bit key is stored in AES_KEY_0_REG ~ AES_KEY_7_REG.

Espressif Systems 834 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
19 AES Accelerator (AES) GoBack

The plaintext and ciphertext are stored in AES_TEXT_IN_m_REG and AES_TEXT_OUT_m_REG, which are two
sets of four 32-bit registers.

• For AES-128/AES-256 encryption, the AES_TEXT_IN_m_REG registers are initialized with plaintext. Then,
the AES Accelerator stores the ciphertext into AES_TEXT_OUT_m_REG after operation.

• For AES-128/AES-256 decryption, the AES_TEXT_IN_m_REG registers are initialized with ciphertext. Then,
the AES Accelerator stores the plaintext into AES_TEXT_OUT_m_REG after operation.

19.4.2 Endianness
Text Endianness

In Typical AES working mode, the AES Accelerator uses cryptographic keys to encrypt and decrypt data in
blocks of 128 bits. When filling data into AES_TEXT_IN_m_REG register or reading result from
AES_TEXT_OUT_m_REG registers, users should follow the text endianness type specified in Table 19-4.

19.4.3 Operation Process

Single Operation

1. Write 0 to the AES_DMA_ENABLE_REG register.

2. Initialize registers AES_MODE_REG, AES_KEY_n_REG, AES_TEXT_IN_m_REG.

3. Start operation by writing 1 to the AES_TRIGGER_REG register.

4. Wait till the content of the AES_STATE_REG register becomes 0, which indicates the operation is
completed.

5. Read results from the AES_TEXT_OUT_m_REG register.

Consecutive Operations

In consecutive operations, primarily the input AES_TEXT_IN_m_REG and output AES_TEXT_OUT_m_REG

registers are being written and read, while the content of AES_DMA_ENABLE_REG, AES_MODE_REG,
AES_KEY_n_REG is kept unchanged. Therefore, the initialization can be simplified during the consecutive
operation.

1. Write 0 to the AES_DMA_ENABLE_REG register before starting the first operation.

2. Initialize registers AES_MODE_REG and AES_KEY_n_REG before starting the first operation.

3. Update the content of AES_TEXT_IN_m_REG.

4. Start operation by writing 1 to the AES_TRIGGER_REG register.

5. Wait till the content of the AES_STATE_REG register becomes 0, which indicates the operation completes.

6. Read results from the AES_TEXT_OUT_m_REG register, and return to Step 3 to continue the next
operation.

19.5 DMA­AES Working Mode

In the DMA-AES working mode, the AES accelerator supports six block cipher modes including
ECB/CBC/OFB/CTR/CFB8/CFB128. Users can choose the block cipher mode by configuring the
AES_BLOCK_MODE_REG register according to Table 19-7 below.

Table 19­8. Working Status under DMA­AES Working mode

AES_STATE_REG[1:0] Status Description

0 IDLE The AES accelerator is idle.
1 WORK The AES accelerator is in the middle of an operation.
2 DONE The AES accelerator completed operations.

When working in the DMA-AES working mode, the AES accelerator supports interrupt on the completion of
computation. To enable this function, write 1 to the AES_INT_ENA_REG register. By default, the interrupt
function is disabled. Also, note that the interrupt should be cleared by software after use.

19.5.1 Key, Plaintext, and Ciphertext

Block Operation

During the block operations, the AES Accelerator reads source data from DMA, and write result data to DMA
after the computation.

• For encryption, DMA reads plaintext from memory, then passes it to AES as source data. After
computation, AES passes ciphertext as result data back to DMA to write into memory.

• For decryption, DMA reads ciphertext from memory, then passes it to AES as source data. After
computation, AES passes plaintext as result data back to DMA to write into memory.

During block operations, the lengths of the source data and result data are the same. The total computation time
is reduced because the DMA data operation and AES computation can happen concurrently.

The length of source data for AES Accelerator under DMA-AES working mode must be 128 bits or the integral
multiples of 128 bits. Otherwise, trailing zeros will be added to the original source data, so the length of source
data equals to the nearest integral multiples of 128 bits. Please see details in Table 19-9 below.

Table 19­9. TEXT­PADDING

Function : TEXT­PADDING( )
Input : X, bit string.
Output : Y = TEXT­PADDING(X), whose length is the nearest integral multiples of 128 bits.
Steps
Let us assume that X is a data-stream that can be split into n parts as following:
X = X1 ||X2 || · · · ||Xn−1 ||Xn
Here, the lengths of X1 , X2 , · · · , Xn−1 all equal to 128 bits, and the length of Xn is t
(0<=t<=127).
If t = 0, then
TEXT­PADDING(X) = X;
If 0 < t <= 127, define a 128-bit block, Xn∗ , and let Xn∗ = Xn ||0128−t , then
TEXT­PADDING(X) = X1 ||X2 || · · · ||Xn−1 ||Xn∗ = X||0128−t

19.5.2 Endianness
Under the DMA-AES working mode, the transmission of source data and result data for AES Accelerator is solely
controlled by DMA. Therefore, the AES Accelerator cannot control the Endianness of the source data and result

data, but does have requirement on how these data should be stored in memory and on the length of the
data.

For example, let us assume DMA needs to write the following data into memory at address 0x0280.

• Data represented in hexadecimal:

– 0102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F101112131415161718191A1B1C1D1E1F20

• Data Length:

– Equals to 2 blocks.

Then, this data will be stored in memory as shown in Table 19-10 below.

DMA can access both internal memory and PSRAM outside ESP32-S3. When you use DMA to access external
PSRAM, please use base addresses that meet the requirements for DMA. When you use DMA to access internal
memory, base addresses do not have such requirements. Details can be found in Chapter 3 GDMA Controller
(GDMA).

19.5.3 Standard Incrementing Function

AES accelerator provides two Standard Incrementing Functions for the CTR block operation, which are INC32
and INC128 Standard Incrementing Functions. By setting the AES_INC_SEL_REG register to 0 or 1, users can
choose the INC32 or INC128 functions respectively. For details on the Standard Incrementing Function, please see
Chapter B.1 The Standard Incrementing Function in NIST SP 800-38A.

19.5.4 Block Number

Register AES_BLOCK_NUM_REG stores the Block Number of plaintext P or ciphertext C. The length of this
register equals to length(TEXT­PADDING(P ))/128 or length(TEXT­PADDING(C))/128. The AES Accelerator only
uses this register when working in the DMA-AES mode.

19.5.5 Initialization Vector

AES_IV_MEM is a 16-byte memory, which is only available for AES Accelerator working in block operations. For
CBC/OFB/CFB8/CFB128 operations, the AES_IV_MEM memory stores the Initialization Vector (IV). For the CTR
operation, the AES_IV_MEM memory stores the Initial Counter Block (ICB).

Espressif Systems 839 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
19 AES Accelerator (AES) GoBack

Both IV and ICB are 128-bit strings, which can be divided into Byte0, Byte1, Byte2 · · · Byte15 (from left to right).
AES_IV_MEM stores data following the Endianness pattern presented in Table 19-10, i.e. the most significant
(i.e., left-most) byte Byte0 is stored at the lowest address while the least significant (i.e., right-most) byte Byte15
at the highest address.

For more details on IV and ICB, please refer to NIST SP 800-38A.

19.5.6 Block Operation Process

1. Select one of DMA channels to connect with AES, configure the DMA chained list, and then start DMA. For
details, please refer to Chapter 3 GDMA Controller (GDMA).

2. Initialize the AES accelerator-related registers:

• Write 1 to the AES_DMA_ENABLE_REG register.

• Configure the AES_INT_ENA_REG register to enable or disable the interrupt function.

• Initialize registers AES_MODE_REG and AES_KEY_n_REG.

• Select block cipher mode by configuring the AES_BLOCK_MODE_REG register. For details, see Table
19-7.

• Initialize the AES_BLOCK_NUM_REG register. For details, see Section 19.5.4.

• Initialize the AES_INC_SEL_REG register (only needed when AES Accelerator is working under CTR
block operation).

• Initialize the AES_IV_MEM memory (This is always needed except for ECB block operation).

3. Start operation by writing 1 to the AES_TRIGGER_REG register.

4. Wait for the completion of computation, which happens when the content of AES_STATE_REG becomes 2
or the AES interrupt occurs.

5. Check if DMA completes data transmission from AES to memory. At this time, DMA had already written the
result data in memory, which can be accessed directly. For details on DMA, please refer to Chapter 3
GDMA Controller (GDMA).

6. Clear interrupt by writing 1 to the AES_INT_CLR_REG register, if any AES interrupt occurred during the
computation.

7. Release the AES Accelerator by writing 0 to the AES_DMA_EXIT_REG register. After this, the content of the
AES_STATE_REG register becomes 0. Note that, you can release DMA earlier, but only after Step 4 is
completed.

20 RSA Accelerator (RSA)

20.1 Introduction
The RSA Accelerator provides hardware support for high precision computation used in various RSA asymmetric
cipher algorithms by significantly reducing their software complexity. Compared with RSA algorithms
implemented solely in software, this hardware accelerator can speed up RSA algorithms significantly. Besides,
the RSA Accelerator also supports operands of different lengths, which provides more flexibility during the
computation.

20.2 Features
The following functionality is supported:

• Large-number modular exponentiation with two optional acceleration options

• Large-number modular multiplication

• Large-number multiplication

• Operands of different lengths

• Interrupt on completion of computation

20.3 Functional Description

The RSA Accelerator is activated by setting the SYSTEM_CRYPTO_RSA_CLK_EN bit in the
SYSTEM_PERIP_CLK_EN1_REG register and clearing the SYSTEM_RSA_MEM_PD bit in the
SYSTEM_RSA_PD_CTRL_REG register. This releases the RSA Accelerator from reset.

The RSA Accelerator is only available after the RSA-related memories are initialized. The content of the
RSA_CLEAN_REG register is 0 during initialization and will become 1 after the initialization is done. Therefore, it is
advised to wait until RSA_CLEAN_REG becomes 1 before using the RSA Accelerator.

The RSA_INTERRUPT_ENA_REG register is used to control the interrupt triggered on completion of

computation. Write 1 or 0 to this register to enable or disable interrupt. By default, the interrupt function of the
RSA Accelerator is enabled.

Notice:
ESP32-S3’s Digital Signature (DS) module also calls the RSA accelerator. Therefore, users cannot access the
RSA accelerator when Digital Signature (DS) is working.

20.3.1 Large Number Modular Exponentiation

Large-number modular exponentiation performs Z = X Y mod M . The computation is based on Montgomery
multiplication. Therefore, aside from the X, Y , and M arguments, two additional ones are needed — r and M ′ ,
which need to be calculated in advance by software.

RSA Accelerator supports operands of length N = 32 × x, where x ∈ {1, 2, 3, . . . , 128}. The bit lengths of
arguments Z, X, Y , M , and r can be arbitrary N , but all numbers in a calculation must be of the same length.

Espressif Systems 846 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
20 RSA Accelerator (RSA) GoBack

The bit length of M ′ must be 32.

To represent the numbers used as operands, let us define a base-b positional notation, as follows:

b = 232

Using this notation, each number is represented by a sequence of base-b digits:

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 , the additional arguments can be calculated as r = R2 mod M .

The following equation in the form compatible with the extended binary GCD algorithm can be written as�

M −1 × M + 1 = R × R−1
M ′ = M −1 mod b

Large-number modular exponentiation can be implemented as follows:

1. Write 1 or 0 to the RSA_INTERRUPT_ENA_REG register to enable or disable the interrupt function.

2. Configure relevant registers:

N
(a) Write ( 32 − 1) to the RSA_MODE_REG register.

(b) Write M ′ to the RSA_M_PRIME_REG register.

(c) Configure registers related to the acceleration options, which are described later in Section 20.3.4.

3. Write Xi , Yi , Mi and ri for i ∈ {0, 1, . . . , n − 1} 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.

4. Write 1 to the RSA_MODEXP_START_REG register to start computation.

5. Wait for the completion of computation, which happens when the content of RSA_IDLE_REG becomes 1
or the RSA interrupt occurs.

Espressif Systems 847 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
20 RSA Accelerator (RSA) GoBack

6. Read the result Zi for i ∈ {0, 1, . . . , n − 1} from RSA_Z_MEM.

7. Write 1 to RSA_CLEAR_INTERRUPT_REG to clear the interrupt, if you have enabled the interrupt function.

After the computation, the RSA_MODE_REG register, memory blocks RSA_Y_MEM and RSA_M_MEM, as well
as the RSA_M_PRIME_REG remain unchanged. However, Xi in RSA_X_MEM and ri in RSA_Z_MEM
computation are overwritten, and only these overwritten memory blocks need to be re-initialized before starting
another computation.

20.3.2 Large Number Modular Multiplication

Large-number modular multiplication performs Z = X × Y mod M . This computation is based on Montgomery
multiplication. Therefore, similar to the large number modular exponentiation, two additional arguments are
needed – r and M ′ , which need to be calculated in advance by software.

The RSA Accelerator supports large-number modular multiplication with operands of 128 different lengths.

The computation can be executed as follows:

1. Write 1 or 0 to the RSA_INTERRUPT_ENA_REG register to enable or disable the interrupt function.

2. Configure relevant registers:

N
(a) Write ( 32 − 1) to the RSA_MODE_REG register.

(b) Write M ′ to the RSA_M_PRIME_REG register.

3. Write Xi , Yi , Mi , and ri for i ∈ {0, 1, . . . , n − 1} 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.

4. Write 1 to the RSA_MODMULT_START_REG register.

5. Wait for the completion of computation, which happens when the content of RSA_IDLE_REG becomes 1
or the RSA interrupt occurs.

6. Read the result Zi for i ∈ {0, 1, . . . , n − 1} from RSA_Z_MEM.

7. Write 1 to RSA_CLEAR_INTERRUPT_REG to clear the interrupt, if you have enabled the interrupt function.

After the computation, the length of operands in RSA_MODE_REG, the Xi in memory RSA_X_MEM, the Yi in
memory RSA_Y_MEM, the Mi in memory RSA_M_MEM, and the M ′ in memory RSA_M_PRIME_REG remain
unchanged. However, the ri in memory RSA_Z_MEM has already been overwritten, and only this overwritten
memory block needs to be re-initialized before starting another computation.

20.3.3 Large Number Multiplication

Large-number multiplication performs Z = X × Y . The length of result Z is twice that of operand X and operand
Y . Therefore, the RSA Accelerator only supports Large Number Multiplication with operand length N = 32 × x,
where x ∈ {1, 2, 3, . . . , 64}. The length N̂ of result Z is 2 × N .

The computation can be executed as follows:

3. Write Xi and Yi for ∈ {0, 1, . . . , n − 1} to memory blocks RSA_X_MEM and RSA_Z_MEM. The capacity of
each memory block is 64 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
N
the lowest address. n is 32 .

Write Xi for i ∈ {0, 1, . . . , n − 1} to the address of the i words of the RSA_X_MEM memory block. Note
that Yi for i ∈ {0, 1, . . . , n − 1} will not be written to the address of the i words of the RSA_Z_MEM register,
but the address of the n + i words, i.e. the base address of the RSA_Z_MEM memory plus the address
offset 4 × (n + i).

Users need to write data to each memory block only according to the length of the number; data beyond
this length are ignored.

4. Write 1 to the RSA_MULT_START_REG register.

5. Wait for the completion of computation, which happens when the content of RSA_IDLE_REG becomes 1
or the RSA interrupt occurs.

6. Read the result Zi for i ∈ {0, 1, . . . , n̂ − 1} from the RSA_Z_MEM register. n̂ is 2 × n.

7. Write 1 to RSA_CLEAR_INTERRUPT_REG to clear the interrupt, if you have enabled the interrupt function.

After the computation, the length of operands in RSA_MODE_REG and the Xi in memory RSA_X_MEM remain
unchanged. However, the Yi in memory RSA_Z_MEM has already been overwritten, and only this overwritten
memory block needs to be re-initialized before starting another computation.

20.3.4 Options for Acceleration

The ESP32-S3 RSA accelerator also provides SEARCH and CONSTANT_TIME options that can be configured to
accelerate the large-number modular exponentiation. By default, both options are configured for no acceleration.
Users can choose to use one or two of these options to accelerate the computation.

To be more specific, when neither of these two options are configured for acceleration, the time required to
calculate Z = X Y mod M is solely determined by the lengths of operands. When either or both of these two
options are configured for acceleration, the time required is also correlated with the 0/1 distribution of Y .

To better illustrate how these two options work, first assume Y is represented in binaries as

Y = (YeN −1 YeN −2 · · · Yet+1 Yet Yet−1 · · · Ye0 )2

where,

• N is the length of Y ,

• Yet is 1,

• YeN −1 , YeN −2 , …, Yet+1 are all equal to 0,

• and Yet−1 , Yet−2 , …, Ye0 are either 0 or 1 but exactly m bits should be equal to 0 and t-m bits 1, i.e. the
Hamming weight of Yet−1 Yet−2 , · · · , Ye0 is t − m.

When either of these two options is configured for acceleration:

• SEARCH Option (Configuring RSA_SEARCH_ENABLE to 1 for acceleration)

– The accelerator ignores the bit positions of Yei , where i > α. Search position α is set by configuring
the RSA_SEARCH_POS_REG register. The maximum value of α is N -1, which leads to the same
result when this option is not used for acceleration. The best acceleration performance can be
achieved by setting α to t, in which case, all the YeN −1 , YeN −2 , …, Yet+1 of 0s are ignored during the
calculation. Note that if you set α to be less than t, then the result of the modular exponentiation
Z = X Y mod M will be incorrect.

• CONSTANT_TIME Option (Configuring RSA_CONSTANT_TIME_REG to 0 for acceleration)

– The accelerator speeds up the calculation by simplifying the calculation concerning the 0 bits of Y .
Therefore, the higher the proportion of bits 0 against bits 1, the better the acceleration performance is.

We provide an example to demonstrate the performance of the RSA Accelerator under different combinations of
SEARCH and CONSTANT_TIME configuration. Here we perform Z = X Y mod M with N = 3072 and Y =
65537. Table 20-1 below demonstrates the time costs under different combinations of SEARCH and
CONSTANT_TIME configuration. Here, we should also mention that, α is set to 16 when the SEARCH option is
enabled.

Table 20­1. Acceleration Performance

SEARCH Option CONSTANT_TIME Option Time Cost (ms)

No acceleration No acceleration 752.81
Accelerated No acceleration 4.52
No acceleration Acceleration 2.406
Acceleration Acceleration 2.33

It’s obvious that:

• The time cost is the biggest when none of these two options is configured for acceleration.

• The time cost is the smallest when both of these two options are configured for acceleration.

• The time cost can be dramatically reduced when either or both option(s) are configured for acceleration.

21 HMAC Accelerator (HMAC) GoBack

21 HMAC Accelerator (HMAC)

The Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) module computes Message Authentication Codes
(MACs) using Hash algorithm and keys as described in RFC 2104. The underlying hash algorithm is SHA-256,
and the 256-bit HMAC key is stored in an eFuse key block and can be set as read-protected for users.

21.1 Main Features

• Standard HMAC-SHA-256 algorithm

• Hash result only accessible by configurable hardware peripheral (in downstream mode)

• Compatible to challenge-response authentication algorithm

• Generates required keys for the Digital Signature (DS) peripheral (in downstream mode)

• Re-enables soft-disabled JTAG (in downstream mode)

21.2 Functional Description

The HMAC module operates in two modes: upstream mode and downstream mode. In upstream mode, the
HMAC message is provided by the user and the calculation result is read back by the user; in downstream mode,
the HMAC module is used as a Key Derivation Function (KDF) for other internal hardware. For instance, the JTAG
can be temporarily disabled by burning odd number bits of EFUSE_SOFT_DIS_JTAG in eFuse. In this case,
users can temporarily re-enable JTAG using the HMAC module in downstream mode.

After the reset signal being released, the HMAC module will check whether the DS key exists in the eFuse. If the
key exists, the HMAC module will enter downstream digital signature mode and finish the DS key calculation
automatically.

21.2.1 Upstream Mode

Common use cases for the upstream mode are challenge-response protocols supporting HMAC-SHA-256
algorithm. In upstream mode, the user should provide the related HMAC information and read back its
calculation results.

Assume the two entities in the challenge-response protocol are A and B respectively, and the entities share the
same secret KEY. The data message they expect to exchange is M. The general process of this protocol is as
follows:

• A calculates a unique random number M

• A sends M to B

• B calculates the HMAC value (through M and KEY) and sends the result to A

• A also calculates the HMAC value (through M and KEY) internally

• A compares these two values. If they are the same, then the identity of B is authenticated

To calculate the HMAC value (the following steps should be done by the user):

1. Initialize the HMAC module, and enter upstream mode.

2. Write the correctly padded message to the HMAC, one block at a time.

Espressif Systems 855 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
21 HMAC Accelerator (HMAC) GoBack

3. Read back the result from HMAC.

For details of this process, please see Section 21.2.6.

21.2.2 Downstream JTAG Enable Mode

There are two parameters in the eFuse memory to disable JTAG debugging, namely EFUSE_DIS_PAD_JTAG and
EFUSE_SOFT_DIS_JTAG. Set EFUSE_DIS_PAD_JTAG to 1 can disable JTAG permanently, and set odd numbers
of 1 to EFUSE_SOFT_DIS_JTAG can disable JTAG temporarily. For more details, please see Chapter 5 eFuse
Controller.

To re-enable the temporarily disabled JTAG, users can follow the steps below:

1. Enable the HMAC module and enter downstream JTAG enable mode.

2. Write 1 to the HMAC_SOFT_JTAG_CTRL_REG register to enter JTAG re-enable compare mode.

3. Write the 256-bit HMAC value which is calculated locally from the 32-byte 0x00 using HMAC-SHA-256
algorithm and the pre-generated key to register HMAC_WR_JTAG_REG, in big-endian order of word.

4. If the HMAC internally calculated value matches the value that user programmed, then JTAG is re-enabled.
Otherwise, JTAG remains disabled.

5. JTAG remains in the status as in step 4 until the user writes 1 to register
HMAC_SET_INVALIDATE_JTAG_REG or restart JTAG.

For detailed steps of this process, please see Section 21.2.6.

21.2.3 Downstream Digital Signature Mode

The Digital Signature (DS) module encrypts its parameters using AES-CBC algorithm. The HMAC module is used
as a Key Derivation Function (KDF) to derive the AES key to decrypt these parameters.

Before starting the DS module, the user needs to obtain the key for it first through HMAC calculation. For more
information, please see Chapter 22 Digital Signature (DS). After the clock of HMAC be enabled and reset of
HMAC be released, the HMAC module will check to see if there is a functional key in eFuses for the DS module.
If yes, HMAC will enter downstream digital signature mode and finish DS key calculation automatically.

21.2.4 HMAC eFuse Configuration

The HMAC module provides three different functionalities: re-enabling JTAG and serving as DS KDF in
downstream mode as well as pure HMAC calculation in upstream mode. Table 21-1 lists the register value
corresponding to each purpose, which should be written to register HMAC_SET_PARA_PURPOSE_REG by the
user (see Section 21.2.6).

Table 21­1. HMAC Purposes and Configuration Values

Purpose Mode Value Description

JTAG Re-enable Downstream 6 EFUSE_KEY_PURPOSE_HMAC_DOWN_JTAG
DS Key Derivation Downstream 7 EFUSE_KEY_PURPOSE_HMAC_DOWN_DIGITAL_SIGNATURE
HMAC Calculation Upstream 8 EFUSE_KEY_PURPOSE_HMAC_UP
Both JTAG Re-enable Downstream 5 EFUSE_KEY_PURPOSE_HMAC_DOWN_ALL
and DS KDF

Before enabling HMAC to do calculations, user should make sure the key to be used has been burned in eFuse.
You can burn a key to eFuse as follows:

1. Prepare a secret 256-bit HMAC key and burn the key to an empty eFuse block y (there are six blocks for
storing a key in eFuse. The numbers of those blocks range from 4 to 9, so y = 4,5,..,9. Hence, if we are
talking about key0, we mean eFuse block4), and then program the purpose to
EFUSE_KEY_PURPOSE_(y − 4). Take upstream mode as an example: after programming the key, the
user should program EFUSE_KEY_PURPOSE_HMAC_UP (corresponding value is 8) to
EFUSE_KEY_PURPOSE_(y − 4). Please see Chapter 5 eFuse Controller on how to program eFuse keys.

2. Configure this eFuse key block to be read protected, so that users cannot read its value. A copy of this key
should be kept by any party who needs to verify this device.

21.2.5 HMAC Initialization

The eFuse key blocks (with correctly programmed purpose values) must be coordinated with the HMAC modes,
or HMAC will terminate calculation.

Configure HMAC modes

The correct purpose (see Table 21-1) has to be written to register HMAC_SET_PARA_PURPOSE_REG by the
user.

Select eFuse Key Blocks

The eFuse controller provides six key blocks, i.e., KEY0 ~ 5. To select a particular KEYn for a certain HMAC
calculation, write the key number n to register HMAC_SET_PARA_KEY_REG.

Note that the purpose of the key has also been programmed to eFuse memory. Only when the configured HMAC
purpose matches the defined purpose of KEYn, will the HMAC module execute the configured calculation.
Otherwise, it will return a matching error and stop the current calculation. For example, suppose a user selects
KEY3 for HMAC calculation, and the value programmed to KEY_PURPOSE_3 is 6
(EFUSE_KEY_PURPOSE_HMAC_DOWN_JTAG). Based on Table 21-1, KEY3 can be used to re-enable JTAG. If
the value written to register HMAC_SET_PARA_PURPOSE_REG is also 6, then the HMAC module will start the
process to re-enable JTAG.

21.2.6 HMAC Process (Detailed)

The process to call HMAC in ESP32-S3 is as follows:

1. Enable HMAC module

Espressif Systems 857 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
21 HMAC Accelerator (HMAC) GoBack

(a) Set the peripheral clock bits for HMAC and SHA peripherals in SYSTEM_PEIRP_CLK_EN1_REG, and
clear the corresponding peripheral reset bits in SYSTEM_PEIRP_RST_EN1_REG. For registers
information, please see Chapter 4 System and Memory.

(b) Write 1 to register HMAC_SET_START_REG.

2. Configure HMAC keys and key purposes

(a) Write the key purpose m to register HMAC_SET_PARA_PURPOSE_REG. The possible key purpose
values are shown in Table 21-1. For more information, please refer to Section 21.2.4.

(b) Select KEYn in eFuse memory as the key by writing n (0 ~ 5) to register

HMAC_SET_PARA_KEY_REG. For more information, please refer to Section 21.2.5.

(c) Write 1 to register HMAC_SET_PARA_FINISH_REG to complete the configuration.

(d) Read register HMAC_QUERY_ERROR_REG. If its value is 1, it means the purpose of the selected
block does not match the configured key purpose and the calculation will not proceed. If its value is 0,
it means the purpose of the selected block matches the configured key purpose, and then the
calculation can proceed.

(e) When the value of HMAC_SET_PARA_PURPOSE_REG is not 8, it means the HMAC module is in
downstream mode, proceed with Step 3. When the value is 8, it means the HMAC module is in
upstream mode, proceed with Step 4.

3. Downstream mode

(a) Poll Status register HMAC_QUERY_BUSY_REG. When the value of this register is 0, HMAC
calculation in downstream mode is completed.

(b) In downstream mode, the calculation result is used by either the JTAG or DS module in the hardware.
To clear the result and make further usage of the dependent hardware (JTAG or DS), write 1 to either
register HMAC_SET_INVALIDATE_JTAG_REG to clear the result generated by JTAG key; or to register
HMAC_SET_INVALIDATE_DS_REG to clear the result generated by DS key.

(c) Downstream mode operation completed.

4. Transmit message block Block_n (n >= 1) in upstream mode

(a) Poll Status register HMAC_QUERY_BUSY_REG. When the value of this register is 0, go to step 4(b).

(b) Write the 512-bit Block_n to register

HMAC_WDATA0~15_REG. Write 1 to register HMAC_SET_MESSAGE_ONE_REG, to trigger the
processing of this message block.

(c) Poll Status register HMAC_QUERY_BUSY_REG. When the value of this register is 0, go to step 4(d).

(d) Different message blocks will be generated, depending on whether the size of the to-be-processed
message is a multiple of 512 bits.

• If the bit length of the message is a multiple of 512 bits, there are three possible options:

i. If Block_n+1 exists, write 1 to register HMAC_SET_MESSAGE_ING_REG to make n = n + 1,

and then jump to step 4(b).

ii. If Block_n is the last block of the message and the user wants to apply SHA padding in
hardware, write 1 to register HMAC_SET_MESSAGE_END_REG, and then jump to step 6.

Espressif Systems 858 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
21 HMAC Accelerator (HMAC) GoBack

iii. If Block_n is the last block of the padded message and the user has applied SHA padding in
software, write 1 to register HMAC_SET_MESSAGE_PAD_REG, and then jump to step 5.

• If the bit length of the message is not a multiple of 512 bits, there are three possible options as
follows. Note that in this case, the user should apply SHA padding to the message, after which
the padded message length should be a multiple of 512 bits.

i. If Block_n is the only message block, n = 1, and Block_1 has included all padding bits, write
1 to register HMAC_ONE_BLOCK_REG, and then jump to step 6.

ii. If Block_n is the second to last padded block, write 1 to register

HMAC_SET_MESSAGE_PAD_REG, and then jump to step 5.

iii. If Block_n is neither the last nor the second to last message block, write 1 to register
HMAC_SET_MESSAGE_ING_REG and define n = n + 1, and then jump to step 4.(b).

5. Apply SHA padding to message

(a) After applying SHA padding to the last message block as described in Section 21.3.1, write this block
to register HMAC_WDATA0~15_REG, and then write 1 to register
HMAC_SET_MESSAGE_ONE_REG. Then the HMAC module will calculate this message block.

(b) Jump to step 6.

6. Read hash result in upstream mode

(a) Poll Status register HMAC_QUERY_BUSY_REG. When the value of this register is 0, go to the next
step.

(b) Read hash result from register HMAC_RDATA0~7_REG.

(c) Write 1 to register HMAC_SET_RESULT_FINISH_REG to finish calculation.

(d) Upstream mode operation is completed.

Note:
The SHA accelerator can be called directly, or used internally by the DS module and the HMAC module. However, they
can not share the hardware resources simultaneously. Therefore, SHA module can not be called by the CPU nor DS
module when the HMAC module is in use.

21.3 HMAC Algorithm Details

21.3.1 Padding Bits
The HMAC module uses SHA-256 as hash algorithm. If the input message is not a multiple of 512 bits, a
SHA-256 padding algorithm must be applied in software. The SHA-256 padding algorithm is the same as
described in Section Padding the Message of FIPS PUB 180-4.

As shown in Figure 21-1, suppose the length of the unpadded message is m bits. Padding steps are as
follows:

1. Append one bit of value “1” to the end of the unpadded message;

2. Append k bits of value “0”, where k is the smallest non-negative number which satisfies
m + 1 + k≡448(mod512);

3. Append a 64-bit integer value as a binary block. This block includes the length of the unpadded message
as a big-endian binary integer value m.

Figure 21­1. HMAC SHA­256 Padding Diagram

In downstream mode, there is no need to input any message or apply padding. In upstream mode, if the length
of the unpadded message is a multiple of 512 bits, the user can choose to configure hardware to apply the SHA
padding. If the length is not a multiple of 512 bits, the user must apply the SHA padding manually. For detailed
steps, please see Section 21.2.6.

21.3.2 HMAC Algorithm Structure

The structure of the implemented algorithm in the HMAC module is shown in Figure 21-2. This is the standard
HMAC algorithm as described in RFC 2104.

2. opad is a 512-bit message block composed of 64 bytes of 0x5c.

The HMAC module appends a 256-bit 0 sequence after the bit sequence of the 256-bit key K in order to get a
512-bit K0 . Then, the HMAC module XORs K0 with ipad to get the 512-bit S1. Afterwards, the HMAC module
appends the input message (multiple of 512 bits) after the 512-bit S1, and exercises the SHA-256 algorithm to
get the 256-bit H1.

The HMAC module appends the 256-bit SHA-256 hash result H1 to the 512-bit S2 value, which is calculated
using the XOR operation of K0 and opad. A 768-bit sequence will be generated. Then, the HMAC module uses
the SHA padding algorithm described in Section 21.3.1 to pad the 768-bit sequence to a 1024-bit sequence,
and applies the SHA-256 algorithm to get the final hash result (256-bit).

22 Digital Signature (DS)

22.1 Overview
A Digital Signature is used to verify the authenticity and integrity of a message using a cryptographic algorithm.
This can be used to validate a device’s identity to a server, or to check the integrity of a message.

The ESP32-S3 includes a Digital Signature (DS) module providing hardware acceleration of messages’ signatures
based on RSA. It uses pre-encrypted parameters to calculate a signature. The parameters are encrypted using
HMAC as a key-derivation function. In turn, the HMAC uses eFuses as an input key. The whole process happens
in hardware so that neither the decryption key for the RSA parameters nor the input key for the HMAC key
derivation function can be seen by the users while calculating the signature.

22.2 Features
• RSA Digital Signatures with key length up to 4096 bits

• Encrypted private key data, only decryptable by DS peripheral

• SHA-256 digest to protect private key data against tampering by an attacker

22.3 Functional Description

22.3.1 Overview
The DS peripheral calculates RSA signature as Z = X Y mod M where Z is the signature, X is the input
message, Y and M are the RSA private key parameters.

Private key parameters are stored in flash or other memory as ciphertext. They are decrypted using a key
(DS_KEY ) which can only be read by the DS peripheral via the HMAC peripheral. The required inputs
(HM AC_KEY ) to generate the key are only stored in eFuse and can only be accessed by the HMAC peripheral.
The DS peripheral hardware can decrypt the private key, and the private key in plaintext is never accessed by the
software. For more detailed information about eFuse and HMAC peripherals, please refer to Chapter 5 eFuse
Controller and 21 HMAC Accelerator (HMAC) peripheral.

The input message X will be sent directly to the DS peripheral by the software, each time a signature is needed.
After the RSA signature operation, the signature Z is read back by the software.

For better understanding, we define some symbols and functions here, which are only applicable to this
chapter:

• 1s A bit string consist of s bits that stores “1”.

• [x]s A bit string of s bits, in which s should be the integral multiple of 8 bits. If x is a number (x < 2s ), it is
represented in little endian byte order in the bit string. x may be a variable value such as [Y ]4096 or as a
hexadecimal constant such as [0x0C]8 . If necessary, the value [x]t can be right-padded with (s − t)
number of 0 to reach s bits in length, and finally get [x]s . For example, [0x05]8 = 00000101,
[0x05]16 = 0000010100000000, [0x0005]16 = 0000000000000101, [0x13]8 = 00010011,
[0x13]16 = 0001001100000000, [0x0013]16 = 0000000000010011.

• || A bit string concatenation operator for joining multiple bit strings into a longer bit string.

22.3.2 Private Key Operands

Private key operands Y (private key exponent) and M (key modulus) are generated by the user. They have a
particular RSA key length (up to 4096 bits). Two additional private key operands are needed: r and M ′ . These
two operands are derived from Y and M .

Operands Y , M , r and M ′ are encrypted by the user along with an authentication digest and stored as a single
ciphertext C. C is inputted to the DS peripheral in this encrypted format, decrypted by the hardware, and then
used for RSA signature calculation. Detailed description of how to generate C is provided in Section
22.3.3.

The DS peripheral supports RSA signature calculation Z = X Y mod M , in which the length of operands should
be N = 32 × x where x ∈ {1, 2, 3, . . . , 128}. The bit lengths of arguments Z, X, Y , M and r should be an
arbitrary value in N , and all of them in a calculation must be of the same length, while the bit length of M ′ should
always be 32. For more detailed information about RSA calculation, please refer to Section 20.3.1 Large Number
Modular Exponentiation in Chapter 20 RSA Accelerator (RSA).

22.3.3 Software Prerequisites

The left side of Figure 22-1 lists preparations required by the software before the hardware starts RSA signature
calculation, while the right side lists the hardware workflow during the entire calculation procedure.

Figure 22­1. Software Preparations and Hardware Working Process

Note:
1. The software preparation (left side in the Figure 22-1) is a one-time operation before any signature is calculated,
while the hardware calculation (right side in the Figure 1-1) repeats for every signature calculation.

Users need to follow the steps shown in the left part of Figure 22-1 to calculate C. Detailed instructions are as
follows:

• Step 1: Prepare operands Y and M whose lengths should meet the requirements in Section 22.3.2.

Espressif Systems 871 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
22 Digital Signature (DS) GoBack

N
Define [L]32 = 32 (i.e., for RSA 4096, [L]32 == [0x80]32 ). Prepare [HM AC_KEY ]256 and calculate
[DS_KEY ]256 based on DS_KEY = HMAC-SHA256 ([HM AC_KEY ]256 , 1256 ). Generate a random
[IV ]128 which should meet the requirements of the AES-CBC block encryption algorithm. For more
information on AES, please refer to Chapter 19 AES Accelerator (AES).

• Step 2: Calculate r and M ′ based on M .

• Step 3: Extend Y , M and r, in order to get [Y ]4096 , [M ]4096 and [r]4096 , respectively. This step is only
required for Y , M and r whose length are less than 4096 bits, since their largest length are 4096 bits.

• Step 4�Calculate MD authentication code using the SHA-256:

[M D]256 = SHA256 ( [Y ]4096 ||[M ]4096 ||[r]4096 ||[M ′ ]32 ||[L]32 ||[IV ]128 )

• Step 5: Build [P ]12672 = ( [Y ]4096 ||[M ]4096 ||[r]4096 ||[M D]256 ||[M ′ ]32 ||[L]32 ||[β]64 ), where [β]64 is a PKCS#7
padding value, i.e., a 64-bit string [0x0808080808080808]64 composed of 8 bytes (value = 0x80). The
purpose of [β]64 is to make the bit length of P a multiple of 128.

• Step 6: Calculate C = [C]12672 = AES-CBC-ENC ([P ]12672 , [DS_KEY ]256 , [IV ]128 ), where C is the
ciphertext with length of 12672 bits.

22.3.4 DS Operation at the Hardware Level

The hardware operation is triggered each time a digital signature needs to be calculated. The inputs are the
pre-generated private key ciphertext C, a unique message X, and IV .

The DS operation at the hardware level can be divided into the following three stages:

1. Decryption: Step 7 and 8 in Figure 22­1

The decryption process is the inverse of Step 6 in figure 22-1. The DS peripheral will call AES accelerator to
decrypt C in CBC block mode and get the resulted plaintext. The decryption process can be represented
by P = AES-CBC-DEC (C, DS_KEY , IV ), where IV (i.e., [IV ]128 ) is defined by users. [DS_KEY ]256 is
provided by HMAC module, derived from HM AC_KEY stored in eFuse. [DS_KEY ]256 , as well as
[HM AC_KEY ]256 are not readable by users.

With P, the DS peripheral can derive [Y ]4096 , [M ]4096 , [r]4096 , [M ′ ]32 , [L]32 , MD authentication code, and
the padding value [β]64 . This process is the inverse of Step 5.

2. Check: Step 9 and 10 in Figure 22­1

The DS peripheral will perform two checks: MD check and padding check. Padding check is not shown in
Figure 22-1, as it happens at the same time with MD check.

• MD check: The DS peripheral calls SHA-256 to calculate the MD authentication code

[CALC_M D]256 from [Y ]4096 ||[M ]4096 ||[r]4096 ||[M ′ ]32 ||[L]32 ||[IV ]128 ). Then, [CALC_M D]256 is
compared against the pre-calculated MD authentication code [M D]256 from step 4. Only when the
two match, MD check passes.

• Padding check: The DS peripheral checks if [β]64 complies with the aforementioned PKCS#7 format.
Only when [β]64 complies with the format, padding check passes.

The DS peripheral will only perform subsequent operations if MD check passes. If padding check fails, an
error bit is set in the query register, but it does not affect the subsequent operations, i.e., it is up to the user
to proceed or not.

3. Calculation: Step 11 and 12 in Figure 22­1

The DS peripheral treats X (input by users) and Y , M , r (compiled) as big numbers. With M ′ , all operands
to perform X Y mod M are in place. The operand length is defined by L. The DS peripheral will get the
signed result Z by calling RSA to perform Z = X Y mod M .

22.3.5 DS Operation at the Software Level

The following software steps should be followed each time a Digital Signature needs to be calculated. The inputs
are the pre-generated private key ciphertext C, a unique message X, and IV . These software steps trigger the
hardware steps described in Section 22.3.4.

We assume that the software has called the HMAC peripheral and HMAC on the hardware has calculated
DS_KEY based on HM AC_KEY .

1. Prerequisites: Prepare operands C, X, IV according to Section 22.3.3.

2. Activate the DS peripheral: Write 1 to DS_SET_START_REG.

3. Check if DS_KEY is ready: Poll DS_QUERY_BUSY_REG until the software reads 0.

If the software does not read 0 in DS_QUERY_BUSY_REG after approximately 1 ms, it indicates a problem
with HMAC initialization. In such a case, the software can read register DS_QUERY_KEY_WRONG_REG to
get more information:

• If the software reads 0 in DS_QUERY_KEY_WRONG_REG, it indicates that the HMAC peripheral has
not been activated.

• If the software reads any value from 1 to 15 in DS_QUERY_KEY_WRONG_REG, it indicates that

HMAC was activated, but the DS peripheral did not successfully receive the DS_KEY value from the
HMAC peripheral. This may indicate that the HMAC operation has been interrupted due to a software
concurrency problem.

4. Configure register: Write IV block to register DS_IV_m_REG (m: 0-3). For more information on the IV
block, please refer to Chapter 19 AES Accelerator (AES).

5. Write X to memory block DS_X_MEM: Write Xi (i ∈ {0, 1, . . . , n − 1}), where n = N

32 , to memory block
DS_X_MEM whose capacity is 128 words. Each word can store one base-b digit. The memory block uses
the little endian format for storage, i.e., the least significant digit of the operand is in the lowest address.
Words in DS_X_MEM block after the configured length of X (N bits, as described in Section 22.3.2) are
ignored.

6. Write C to memory block DS_C_MEM: Write Ci (i ∈ {0, 1, . . . , 395}) to memory block DS_C_MEM
whose capacity is 396 words. Each word can store one base-b digit.

7. Start DS operation: Write 1 to register DS_SET_ME_REG.

8. Wait for the operation to be completed: Poll register DS_QUERY_BUSY_REG until the software reads 0.

• If the value is 1, it indicates that the padding check passes but MD check fails. The signed result Z is
invalid. The operation will resume directly from Step 11.

• If the value is 2, it indicates that the padding check fails but MD check passes. Users can continue to
get the signed result Z. But please note that the data encapsulation format does not complie with the
aforementioned PKCS#7 format, which may not be what you want.

• If the value is 3, it indicates that both padding check and MD check fail. In this case, some fatal errors
may occurred and the signed result Z is invalid. The operation will resume directly from Step 11.

10. Read the signed result: Read the signed result Zi (i ∈ {0, 1, . . . , n − 1}), where n = N

block DS_Z_MEM. The memory block stores Z in little-endian byte order.

11. Exit the operation: Write 1 to DS_SET_FINISH_REG, then poll DS_QUERY_BUSY_REG until the software
reads 0.

After the operation, all the input/output registers and memory blocks are cleared.

23 External Memory Encryption and Decryption (XTS_AES)

23.1 Overview
The ESP32-S3 integrates an External Memory Encryption and Decryption module that complies with the
XTS_AES standard algorithm specified in IEEE Std 1619-2007, providing security for users’ application code and
data stored in the external memory (flash and RAM). Users can store proprietary firmware and sensitive data
(e.g., credentials for gaining access to a private network) to the external flash, or store general data to the
external RAM.

23.2 Features
• General XTS_AES algorithm, compliant with IEEE Std 1619-2007

• Software-based manual encryption

• High-speed auto encryption, without software’s participation

• High-speed auto decryption, without software’s participation

• Encryption and decryption functions jointly determined by registers configuration, eFuse parameters, and
boot mode

23.3 Module Structure

The External Memory Encryption and Decryption module consists of three blocks, namely the Manual Encryption
block, Auto Encryption block, and Auto Decryption block. The module architecture is shown in Figure
23-1.

23 External Memory Encryption and Decryption (XTS_AES) GoBack

The Manual Encryption block can encrypt instructions/data which will then be written to the external flash as
ciphertext via SPI1.

When the CPU writes data to the external RAM through cache, the Auto Encryption block will automatically
encrypt the data first, then the data will be written to the external RAM as ciphertext.

When the CPU reads from the external flash or external RAM through cache, the Auto Decryption block will
automatically decrypt the ciphertext to retrieve instructions and data.

In the System Registers (SYSREG) peripheral, the following four bits in register
SYSTEM_EXTERNAL_DEVICE_ENCRYPT_DECRYPT_CONTROL_REG are relevant to the external memory
encryption and decryption:

• SYSTEM_ENABLE_DOWNLOAD_MANUAL_ENCRYPT

• SYSTEM_ENABLE_DOWNLOAD_G0CB_DECRYPT

• SYSTEM_ENABLE_DOWNLOAD_DB_ENCRYPT

• SYSTEM_ENABLE_SPI_MANUAL_ENCRYPT

The XTS_AES module also fetches two parameters from the peripheral 5 eFuse Controller, which are:
EFUSE_DIS_DOWNLOAD_MANUAL_ENCRYPT and EFUSE_SPI_BOOT_CRYPT_CNT.

23.4 Functional Description

23.4.1 XTS Algorithm
The manual encryption and auto encryption/decryption all use the same algorithm, i.e., XTS algorithm. During
implementation, the XTS algorithm is characterized by a ”data unit” of 1024 bits, which is defined in the Section
XTS-AES encryption procedure of XTS-AES Tweakable Block Cipher Standard. For more information about
XTS-AES algorithm, please refer to IEEE Std 1619-2007.

23.4.2 Key
The Manual Encryption block, Auto Encryption block and Auto Decryption block share the same Key when
implementing XTS algorithm. The Key is provided by the eFuse hardware and cannot be accessed by
users.

The Key can be either 256-bit or 512-bit long. The value and length of the Key are determined by eFuse
parameters. For easier description, now define:

• BlockA : the BLOCK in BLOCK4 ~ BLOCK9 whose key purpose is

EFUSE_KEY_PURPOSE_XTS_AES_256_KEY_1. If BlockA is true, then the 256-bit KeyA is stored in it.

• BlockB : the BLOCK in BLOCK4 ~ BLOCK9 whose key purpose is

EFUSE_KEY_PURPOSE_XTS_AES_256_KEY_2. If BlockB is true, then the 256-bit KeyB is stored in it.

• BlockC : the BLOCK in BLOCK4 ~ BLOCK9 whose key purpose is

EFUSE_KEY_PURPOSE_XTS_AES_128_KEY. If BlockC is true, then the 256-bit KeyC is stored in it.

There are five possibilities of how the Key is generated depending on whether BlockA , BlockB and BlockC exists
or not, as shown in Table 23-1. In each case, the Key can be uniquely determined by BlockA , BlockB or
BlockC .

No Yes Don’t care 0 256
||KeyB 512
No No Yes KeyC 256

No No No 0 256

Notes:
“YES” indicates that the block exists; “NO” indicates that the block does not exist; “0256 ” indicates a bit string
that consists of 256-bit zeros; “||” is a bonding operator for joining one bit string to another.

For more information of key purposes, please refer to Table 5-2 Secure Key Purpose Values in Chapter 5 eFuse
Controller.

23.4.3 Target Memory Space

The target memory space refers to a continuous address space in the external memory where the first encrypted
ciphertext is stored. The target memory space can be uniquely determined by three relevant parameters: type,
size and base address, whose definitions are listed below.

• Type: the type of the target memory space, either external flash or external RAM. Value 0 indicates external
flash, while 1 indicates external RAM.

• Size: the size of the target memory space, indicating the number bytes encrypted in one encryption
operation, which supports 16, 32 or 64 bytes.

• Base address: the base_addr of the target memory space. It is a 30-bit physical address, with range of
0x0000_0000 ~ 0x3FFF_FFFF. It should be aligned to size, i.e., base_addr%size == 0.

For example, if there are 16 bytes of instruction data need to be encrypted and written to address 0x130 ~ 0x13F
in the external flash, then the target space is 0x130 ~ 0x13F, type is 0 (external flash), size is 16 (bytes), and base
address is 0x130.

The encryption of any length (must be multiples of 16 bytes) of plaintext instruction/data can be completed
separately in multiple operations, and each operation has individual target memory space and the relevant
parameters.

For Auto Encryption/Decryption blocks, these parameters are automatically defined by hardware. For Manual
Encryption block, these parameters should be configured manually by users.

Note:
The “tweak” defined in Chapter 5.1 Data units and tweaks of IEEE Std 1619-2007 is a 128-bit non-negative integer
(tweak), which can be generated according to tweak = type ∗ 230 + (base_addr & 0x3FFFFF80). The lowest 7 bits
and the highest 97 bits in tweak are always zero.

23.4.4 Data Padding

For Auto Encryption/Decryption blocks, data padding is automatically completed by hardware. For Manual
Encryption block, data padding should be completed manually by users. The Manual Encryption block has a

Espressif Systems 881 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
23 External Memory Encryption and Decryption (XTS_AES) GoBack

registers block which consists of 16 registers, i.e., XTS_AES_PLAIN_n_REG (n: 0-15), that are dedicated to data
padding and can store up to 512 bits of plaintext instructions/data.

Actually, the Manual Encryption block does not care where the plaintext comes from, but only where the
ciphertext will be stored. Because of the strict correspondence between plaintext and ciphertext, in order to
better describe how the plaintext is stored in the register block, we assume that the plaintext is stored in the
target memory space in the first place and replaced by ciphertext after encryption. Therefore, the following
description no longer has the concept of “plaintext”, but uses “target memory space” instead. Please note that
the plaintext can come from everywhere in actual use, but users should understand how the plaintext is stored in
the register block.

How mapping works between target memory space and registers:

of f set
Assume a word in the target memory space is stored in address, define of f set = address%64, n = 4 , then
the word will be stored in register XTS_AES_PLAIN_n_REG.

For example, if the size of the target memory space is 64, then all the 16 registers will be used for data storage.
The mapping between of f set and registers is shown in Table 23-2.

Table 23­2. Mapping Between Offsets and Registers

0x00 XTS_AES_PLAIN_0_REG 0x20 XTS_AES_PLAIN_8_REG

0x1C XTS_AES_PLAIN_7_REG 0x3C XTS_AES_PLAIN_15_REG

23.4.5 Manual Encryption Block

The Manual Encryption block is a peripheral module. It is equipped with registers and can be accessed by the
CPU directly. Registers embedded in this block, the System Registers (SYSREG) peripheral, eFuse parameters,
and boot mode jointly configure and use this module. Please note that the Manual Encryption block can only
encrypt for storage in the external flash.

The Manual Encryption block is operational only under certain conditions. The operating conditions
are:

• In SPI Boot mode

If bit SYSTEM_ENABLE_SPI_MANUAL_ENCRYPT in register

SYSTEM_EXTERNAL_DEVICE_ENCRYPT_DECRYPT_CONTROL_REG is 1, the Manual Encryption block
can be enabled. Otherwise, it is not operational.

• In Download Boot mode

If bit SYSTEM_ENABLE_DOWNLOAD_MANUAL_ENCRYPT in register

SYSTEM_EXTERNAL_DEVICE_ENCRYPT_DECRYPT_CONTROL_REG is 1 and the eFuse parameter

Espressif Systems 882 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
23 External Memory Encryption and Decryption (XTS_AES) GoBack

EFUSE_DIS_DOWNLOAD_MANUAL_ENCRYPT is 0, the Manual Encryption block can be enabled.

Otherwise, it is not operational.

Note:

• Even though the CPU can skip cache and get the encrypted instruction/data directly by reading the external mem-
ory, users can by no means access Key.

23.4.6 Auto Encryption Block

The Auto Encryption block is not a conventional peripheral, so it does not have any registers and cannot be
accessed by the CPU directly. The System Registers (SYSREG) peripheral, eFuse parameters, and boot mode
jointly configure and use this block.

The Auto Encryption block is operational only under certain conditions. The operating conditions are:

• In SPI Boot mode

If the first bit or the third bit in parameter SPI_BOOT_CRYPT_CNT (3 bits) is set to 1, then the Auto
Encryption block can be enabled. Otherwise, it is not operational.

• In Download Boot mode

If bit SYSTEM_ENABLE_DOWNLOAD_DB_ENCRYPT in register

SYSTEM_EXTERNAL_DEVICE_ENCRYPT_DECRYPT_CONTROL_REG is 1, the Auto Encryption block can
be enabled. Otherwise, it is not operational.

Note:

• When the Auto Encryption block is enabled, it will automatically encrypt data if the CPU writes data to the external
RAM, and then the encrypted ciphertext will be written to the external RAM. The entire encryption process does
not need software participation and is transparent to the cache. Users can by no means obtain the encryption Key
during the process.

• When the Auto Encryption block is disabled, it will ignore the CPU’s access request to cache and do not process
the data. Therefore, the data will be written to the external RAM as plaintext directly.

23.4.7 Auto Decryption Block

The Auto Decryption block is not a conventional peripheral, so it does not have any registers and cannot be
accessed by the CPU directly. The System Registers (SYSREG) peripheral, eFuse parameters, and boot mode
jointly configure and use this block.

The Auto Decryption block is operational only under certain conditions. The operating conditions are:

• In SPI Boot mode

If the first bit or the third bit in parameter SPI_BOOT_CRYPT_CNT (3 bits) is set to 1, then the Auto
Decryption block can be enabled. Otherwise, it is not operational.

• In Download Boot mode

If bit SYSTEM_ENABLE_DOWNLOAD_G0CB_DECRYPT in register

SYSTEM_EXTERNAL_DEVICE_ENCRYPT_DECRYPT_CONTROL_REG is 1, the Auto Decryption block

Espressif Systems 883 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
23 External Memory Encryption and Decryption (XTS_AES) GoBack

can be enabled. Otherwise, it is not operational.

Note:

• When the Auto Decryption block is enabled, it will automatically decrypt the ciphertext if the CPU reads instruction-
s/data from the external memory via cache to retrieve the instructions/data. The entire decryption process does
not need software participation and is transparent to the cache. Users can by no means obtain the decryption Key
during the process.

• When the Auto Decryption block is disabled, it does not have any effect on the contents stored in the external
memory, no matter they are encrypted or not. Therefore, what the CPU reads via cache is the original information
stored in the external memory.

23.5 Software Process

When the Manual Encryption block operates, software needs to be involved in the process. The steps are as
follows:

1. Configure XTS_AES:

• Set register XTS_AES_DESTINATION_REG to type = 0.

• Set register XTS_AES_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS_REG to base_addr.

size
• Set register XTS_AES_LINESIZE_REG to 32 .

For definitions of type, base_addr and size, please refer to Section 23.4.3.

2. Pad plaintext data to the registers block XTS_AES_PLAIN_n_REG (n: 0-15). For detailed information,
please refer to Section 23.4.4.
Please pad data to registers according to your actual needs, and the unused ones could be set to arbitrary
values.

3. Wait for Manual Encrypt block to be idle. Poll register XTS_AES_STATE_REG until the software reads 0.

4. Trigger manual encryption by writing 1 to register XTS_AES_TRIGGER_REG.

5. Wait for the encryption process. Poll register XTS_AES_STATE_REG until the software reads 2.
Step 1 to 5 are the steps of encrypting plaintext instructions with the Manual Encryption block using the
Key.

6. Grant the ciphertext access to SPI1. Write 1 to register XTS_AES_RELEASE_REG to grant SPI1 the
access to the encrypted ciphertext. After this, the value of register XTS_AES_STATE_REG will become 3.

7. Call SPI1 to write the ciphertext in the external flash (see Chapter 30 SPI Controller (SPI)).

8. Destroy the ciphertext. Write 1 to register XTS_AES_DESTROY_REG. After this, the value of register
XTS_AES_STATE_REG will become 0.

Repeat above steps to meet plaintext instructions/data encryption demands.

25 Random Number Generator (RNG)

25.1 Introduction
The ESP32-S3 contains a true random number generator, which generates 32-bit random numbers that can be
used for cryptographical operations, among other things.

25.2 Features
The random number generator in ESP32-S3 generates true random numbers, which means random number
generated from a physical process, rather than by means of an algorithm. No number generated within the
specified range is more or less likely to appear than any other number.

25.3 Functional Description

Every 32-bit value that 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 thermal noise in the system and
the asynchronous clock mismatch.

Thermal noise comes from the high-speed ADC or SAR ADC or both. Whenever the high-speed ADC or SAR
ADC is enabled, bit streams will be generated and fed into the random number generator through an XOR logic
gate as random seeds.

When the RC_FAST_CLK clock is enabled for the digital core, the random number generator will also sample
RC_FAST_CLK (20 MHz) as a random bit seed. RC_FAST_CLK is an asynchronous clock source and it
increases the RNG entropy by introducing circuit metastability. However, to ensure maximum entropy, it’s
recommended to always enable an ADC source as well.

Figure 25­1. Noise Source

When there is noise coming from the SAR ADC, the random number generator is fed with a 2-bit entropy in one
clock cycle of RC_FAST_CLK (20 MHz), which is generated from an internal RC oscillator (see Chapter 7 Reset
and Clock for details). Thus, it is advisable to read the RNG_DATA_REG register at a maximum rate of 500 kHz to
obtain the maximum entropy.

When there is noise coming from the high-speed ADC, the random number generator is fed with a 2-bit entropy
in one APB clock cycle, which is normally 80 MHz. Thus, it is advisable to read the RNG_DATA_REG register at a
maximum rate of 5 MHz to obtain the maximum entropy.

25 Random Number Generator (RNG) GoBack

25.4 Programming Procedure

When using the random number generator, make sure at least either the SAR ADC, high-speed ADC, or
RC_FAST_CLK is enabled. Otherwise, pseudo-random numbers will be returned.

• SAR ADC can be enabled by using the DIG ADC controller. For details, please refer to Chapter 39 On-Chip
Sensors and Analog Signal Processing.

• High-speed ADC is enabled automatically when the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth modules is enabled.

• RC_FAST_CLK is enabled by setting the RTC_CNTL_DIG_CLK8M_EN bit in the

RTC_CNTL_CLK_CONF_REG register.

Note:
Note that, when the Wi-Fi module is enabled, the value read from the high-speed ADC can be saturated in some extreme
cases, which lowers the entropy. Thus, it is advisable to also enable the SAR ADC as the noise source for the random
number generator for such cases.

When using the random number generator, read the RNG_DATA_REG register multiple times until sufficient
random numbers have been generated. Ensure the rate at which the register is read does not exceed the
frequencies described in section 25.3 above.

26 UART Controller (UART)

26.1 Overview
In embedded system applications, data are required to be transferred in a simple way with minimal system
resources. This can be achieved by a Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART), which flexibly
exchanges data with other peripheral devices in full-duplex mode. ESP32-S3 has three UART controllers
compatible with various UART devices. They support Infrared Data Association (IrDA) and RS485
transmission.

Each of the three UART controllers has a group of registers that function identically. In this chapter, the three
UART controllers are referred to as UARTn, in which n denotes 0, 1, or 2.

A UART is a character-oriented data link for asynchronous communication between devices. Such
communication does not provide any clock signal to send data. Therefore, in order to communicate successfully,
the transmitter and the receiver must operate at the same baud rate with the same stop bit and parity bit.

A UART data frame usually begins with one start bit, followed by data bits, one parity bit (optional) and one or
more stop bits. UART controllers on ESP32-S3 support various lengths of data bits and stop bits. These
controllers also support software and hardware flow control as well as GDMA for seamless high-speed data
transfer. This allows developers to use multiple UART ports at minimal software cost.

26.2 Features
Each UART controller has the following features:

• Three clock sources that can be divided

• Programmable baud rate

• 1024 x 8-bit RAM shared by TX FIFOs and RX FIFOs of the three UART controllers

• Full-duplex asynchronous communication

• Automatic baud rate detection of input signals

• Data bits ranging from 5 to 8

• Stop bits of 1, 1.5, 2 or 3 bits

• Parity bit

• Special character AT_CMD detection

• RS485 protocol

• IrDA protocol

• High-speed data communication using GDMA

• UART as wake-up source

• Software and hardware flow control

26.3 UART Structure

Figure 26­1. UART Structure

Figure 26-1 shows the basic structure of a UART controller. A UART controller works in two clock domains,
namely APB_CLK domain and Core Clock domain (the UART Core’s clock domain). The UART Core has three
clock sources: 80 MHz APB_CLK, FOSC_CLK and external crystal clock XTAL_CLK (for details, please refer to
Chapter 7 Reset and Clock), which are selected by configuring UART_SCLK_SEL. The selected clock source is
divided by a divider to generate clock signals that drive the UART Core.

A UART controller is broken down into two parts: a transmitter and a receiver.

The transmitter contains a FIFO, called TX FIFO (or Tx_FIFO), which buffers data to be sent. Software can write
data to the Tx_FIFO either via the APB bus, or using GDMA. Tx_FIFO_Ctrl controls writing and reading the
Tx_FIFO. When Tx_FIFO is not empty, Tx_FSM reads data bits in the data frame via Tx_FIFO_Ctrl, and converts
them into a bitstream. The levels of output signal txd_out can be inverted by configuring UART_TXD_INV
field.

The receiver also contains a FIFO, called RX FIFO (or Rx_FIFO), which buffers received data. The levels of input
signal rxd_in can be inverted by configuring UART_RXD_INV field. Baudrate_Detect measures the baud rate of
input signal rxd_in by detecting its minimum pulse width. Start_Detect detects the start bit in a data frame. If the
start bit is detected, Rx_FSM stores data bits in the data frame into Rx_FIFO by Rx_FIFO_Ctrl. Software can read
data from Rx_FIFO via the APB bus, or receive data using GDMA.

HW_Flow_Ctrl controls rxd_in and txd_out data flows by standard UART RTS and CTS flow control signals
(rtsn_out and ctsn_in). SW_Flow_Ctrl controls data flows by automatically adding special characters to outgoing

data and detecting special characters in incoming data.

When a UART controller is in Light-sleep mode (see Chapter 10 Low-power Management (RTC_CNTL) for more
details), Wakeup_Ctrl counts up rising edges of rxd_in. When the number reaches UART_ACTIVE_THRESHOLD
+ 2, a wake_up signal is generated and sent to RTC, which then wakes up the ESP32-S3 chip.

26.4 Functional Description

26.4.1 Clock and Reset
UART controllers are asynchronous. their configuration registers, TX FIFOs, and RX FIFOs are in APB_CLK
domain, while the module controlling transmission and reception (i.e. UART Core) is in Core Clock domain. The
latter can be sourced out of three clocks, namely APB_CLK, FOSC_CLK and external crystal clock XTAL_CLK,
which can be selected by configuring UART_SCLK_SEL. The selected clock source can be divided. This divider
supports fractional division, and the divisor is equal to:
U ART _SCLK_DIV _B
U ART _SCLK_DIV _N U M +
U ART _SCLK_DIV _A
The divisor ranges from 1 ~ 256.

When the frequency of the UART Core’s clock is higher than the frequency needed to generate baud rate, the
UART Core can be clocked at a lower frequency by the divider, in order to reduce power consumption. Usually,
the UART Core’s clock frequency is lower than the APB_CLK’s frequency, and can be divided by the largest
divisor value when higher than the frequency needed to generate baud rate. The frequency of the UART Core’s
clock can also be at most twice higher than the APB_CLK. The clock for the UART transmitter and the UART
receiver can be controlled independently. To enable the clock for the UART transmitter, UART_TX_SCLK_EN
shall be set; to enable the clock for the UART receiver, UART_RX_SCLK_EN shall be set.

Section 26.5 explains the procedure to ensure that the configured register values are synchronized between
APB_CLK domain and Core Clock domain.

Section 26.5.2.1 explains the procedure to reset the whole UART controller. Note that it is not recommended to
only reset the APB clock domain module or UART Core.

26.4.2 UART RAM

Figure 26­2. UART Controllers Sharing RAM

All three UART controllers on ESP32-S3 share 1024 × 8 bits of RAM. As Figure 26-2 illustrates, the RAM is
divided into 8 blocks, each has 128 × 8 bits. Figure 26-2 shows how many RAM blocks are allocated by default
to TX and RX FIFOs for each of the three UART controllers. UARTn Tx_FIFO can be expanded by configuring
UART_TX_SIZE, while UARTn Rx_FIFO can be expanded by configuring UART_RX_SIZE. Some limits are
imposed:

• UART0 Tx_FIFO can be increased up to 8 blocks (the whole RAM);

• UART1 Tx_FIFO can be increased up to 7 blocks (from offset 128 to the end address);

• UART2 Tx_FIFO can be increased up to 6 blocks (from offset 256 to the end address);

• UART0 Rx_FIFO can be increased up to 4 blocks (from offset 512 to the end address);

• UART1 Rx_FIFO can be increased up to 3 blocks (from offset 640 to the end address);

• UART2 Rx_FIFO can be increased up to 2 blocks (from offset 768 to the end address).

Please note that starting addresses of all FIFOs are fixed, so expanding one FIFO may take up the default space
of other FIFOs. For example, by setting UART_TX_SIZE of UART0 to 2, the size of UART0 Tx_FIFO is increased
by 128 bytes (from offset 0 to offset 255). In this case, UART0 Tx_FIFO takes up the default space for UART1
Tx_FIFO, and UART1’s transmitting function cannot be used as a result.

When neither of the three UART controllers is active, RAM can enter low-power mode by setting
UART_MEM_FORCE_PD.

UARTn Tx_FIFO is reset by setting UART_TXFIFO_RST. UARTn Rx_FIFO is reset by setting

UART_RXFIFO_RST.

The ”empty” signal threshold for Tx_FIFO is configured by setting UART_TXFIFO_EMPTY_THRHD. When data
stored in Tx_FIFO is less than UART_TXFIFO_EMPTY_THRHD, a UART_TXFIFO_EMPTY_INT interrupt is
generated. The ”full” signal threshold for Rx_FIFO is configured by setting UART_RXFIFO_FULL_THRHD. When
data stored in Rx_FIFO is equal to or greater than UART_RXFIFO_FULL_THRHD, a UART_RXFIFO_FULL_INT

Submit Documentation Feedback
26 UART Controller (UART) GoBack

interrupt is generated. In addition, when Rx_FIFO receives more data than its capacity, a
UART_RXFIFO_OVF_INT interrupt is generated.

TX FIFO and RX FIFO can be accessed via the APB bus or GDMA. Access via the APB bus is performed through
register UART_FIFO_REG. You can put data into TX FIFO by writing UART_RXFIFO_RD_BYTE, and get data in
RX FIFO by reading this exact same field. For access via GDMA, please refer to Section 26.4.10.

26.4.3 Baud Rate Generation and Detection

26.4.3.1 Baud Rate Generation

Before a UART controller sends or receives data, the baud rate should be configured by setting corresponding
registers. The baud rate generator of a UART controller functions by dividing the input clock source. It can divide
the clock source by a fractional amount. The divisor is configured by UART_CLKDIV_REG: UART_CLKDIV for the
integer part, and UART_CLKDIV_FRAG for the fractional part. When using the 80 MHz input clock, the UART
controller supports a maximum baud rate of 5 Mbaud.

The divisor of the baud rate is equal to

U ART _CLKDIV _F RAG
U ART _CLKDIV +
16
meaning that the final baud rate is equal to
IN P U T _F REQ
U ART _CLKDIV + U ART _CLKDIV
16
_F RAG

where INPUT_FREQ is the frequency of UART Core’s source clock. For example, if UART_CLKDIV = 694 and
UART_CLKDIV_FRAG = 7 then the divisor value is
7
694 + = 694.4375
16

When UART_CLKDIV_FRAG is 0, the baud rate generator is an integer clock divider where an output pulse is
generated every UART_CLKDIV input pulses.

When UART_CLKDIV_FRAG is not 0, the divider is fractional and the output baud rate clock pulses are not
strictly uniform. As shown in Figure 26-3, for every 16 output pulses, the frequency of some pulses is
INPUT_FREQ/(UART_CLKDIV + 1), and the frequency of the other pulses is INPUT_FREQ/UART_CLKDIV. A total
of UART_CLKDIV_FRAG output pulses are generated by dividing (UART_CLKDIV + 1) input pulses, and the
remaining (16 - UART_CLKDIV_FRAG) output pulses are generated by dividing UART_CLKDIV input
pulses.

The output pulses are interleaved as shown in Figure 26-3 below, to make the output timing more uniform:

Figure 26­3. UART Controllers Division

Submit Documentation Feedback
26 UART Controller (UART) GoBack

To support IrDA (see Section 26.4.6 for details), the fractional clock divider for IrDA data transmission generates
clock signals divided by 16 × UART_CLKDIV_REG. This divider works similarly as the one elaborated above: it
takes UART_CLKDIV/16 as the integer value and the lowest four bits of UART_CLKDIV as the fractional
value.

26.4.3.2 Baud Rate Detection

Automatic baud rate detection (Autobaud) on UARTs is enabled by setting UART_AUTOBAUD_EN. The
Baudrate_Detect module shown in Figure 26-1 filters any noise whose pulse width is shorter than
UART_GLITCH_FILT.

Before communication starts, the transmitter can send random data to the receiver for baud rate detection.
UART_LOWPULSE_MIN_CNT stores the minimum low pulse width, UART_HIGHPULSE_MIN_CNT stores the
minimum high pulse width, UART_POSEDGE_MIN_CNT stores the minimum pulse width between two rising
edges, and UART_NEGEDGE_MIN_CNT stores the minimum pulse width between two falling edges. These four
fields are read by software to determine the transmitter’s baud rate.

Figure 26­4. The Timing Diagram of Weak UART Signals Along Falling Edges

Baud rate can be determined in the following three ways:

1. Normally, to avoid sampling erroneous data along rising or falling edges in metastable state, which results in
inaccuracy of UART_LOWPULSE_MIN_CNT or UART_HIGHPULSE_MIN_CNT, use a weighted average of
these two values to eliminate errors. In this case, baud rate is calculated as follows:
fclk
Buart =
(UART_LOWPULSE_MIN_CNT + UART_HIGHPULSE_MIN_CNT + 2)/2

2. If UART signals are weak along falling edges as shown in Figure 26-4, which leads to inaccurate average of
UART_LOWPULSE_MIN_CNT and UART_HIGHPULSE_MIN_CNT, use UART_POSEDGE_MIN_CNT to
determine the transmitter’s baud rate as follows:
fclk
Buart =
(UART_POSEDGE_MIN_CNT + 1)/2

3. If UART signals are weak along rising edges, use UART_NEGEDGE_MIN_CNT to determine the
transmitter’s baud rate as follows:
fclk
Buart =
(UART_NEGEDGE_MIN_CNT + 1)/2

26.4.4 UART Data Frame

Figure 26­5. Structure of UART Data Frame

Figure 26-5 shows the basic structure of a data frame. A frame starts with one START bit, and ends with STOP
bits which can be 1, 1.5, 2 or 3 bits long, configured by UART_STOP_BIT_NUM, UART_DL1_EN and
UART_DL0_EN. The START bit is logical low, whereas STOP bits are logical high.

The actual data length can be anywhere between 5 ~ 8 bits, configured by UART_BIT_NUM. When
UART_PARITY_EN is set, a parity bit is added after data bits. UART_PARITY is used to choose even parity or
odd parity. When the receiver detects a parity bit error in data received, a UART_PARITY_ERR_INT interrupt is
generated, and the erroneous data are still stored into the RX FIFO. When the receiver detects a data frame error,
a UART_FRM_ERR_INT interrupt is generated, and the erroneous data by default is stored into the RX
FIFO.

If all data in Tx_FIFO have been sent, a UART_TX_DONE_INT interrupt is generated. After this, if the
UART_TXD_BRK bit is set then the transmitter will send several low level bits, namely delimiters, to separate data
packets. The number of low level bits is configured by UART_TX_BRK_NUM. Once the transmitter has sent all
delimiters, a UART_TX_BRK_DONE_INT interrupt is generated. The minimum interval between data frames can
be configured using UART_TX_IDLE_NUM. If the transmitter stays idle for UART_TX_IDLE_NUM or more time (in
the unit of bit time, i.e. the time it takes to transfer one bit), a UART_TX_BRK_IDLE_DONE_INT interrupt is
generated.

Figure 26­6. AT_CMD Character Structure

Figure 26-6 is the structure of a special character AT_CMD. If the receiver constantly receives AT_CMD_CHAR
and the following conditions are met, a UART_AT_CMD_CHAR_DET_INT interrupt is generated. The specific
value of AT_CMD_CHAR can be read from UARTn_AT_CMD_CHAR.

• The interval between the first AT_CMD_CHAR and the last non-AT_CMD_CHAR character is at least
UART_PRE_IDLE_NUM cycles.

• The interval between two AT_CMD_CHAR characters is less than UART_RX_GAP_TOUT cycles.

• The number of AT_CMD_CHAR characters is equal to or greater than UART_CHAR_NUM.

26 UART Controller (UART) GoBack

• The interval between the last AT_CMD_CHAR character and next non-AT_CMD_CHAR character is at least
UART_POST_IDLE_NUM cycles.

26.4.5 RS485
All three UART controllers support RS485 protocol. This protocol uses differential signals to transmit data, so it
can communicate over longer distances at higher bit rates than RS232. RS485 has two-wire half-duplex mode
and four-wire full-duplex modes. UART controllers support two-wire half-duplex transmission and bus snooping.
In a two-wire RS485 multidrop network, there can be 32 slaves at most.

26.4.5.1 Driver Control

As shown in Figure 26-7, in a two-wire multidrop network, an external RS485 transceiver is needed for differential
to single-ended conversion. A RS485 transceiver contains a driver and a receiver. When a UART controller is not
in transmitter mode, the connection to the differential line can be broken by disabling the driver. When the DE
(Driver Enable) signal is 1, the driver is enabled; when DE is 0, the driver is disabled.

The UART receiver converts differential signals to single-ended signals via an external receiver. RE is the enable
control signal for the receiver. When RE is 0, the receiver is enabled; when RE is 1, the receiver is disabled. If RE
is configured as 0, the UART controller is allowed to snoop data on the bus, including data sent by itself.

DE can be controlled by either software or hardware. To reduce the cost of software, DE is controlled by
hardware in our design. As shown in Figure 26-7, DE is connected to dtrn_out of UART (please refer to Section
26.4.9.1 for more details).

transceiver

Figure 26­7. Driver Control Diagram in RS485 Mode

26.4.5.2 Turnaround Delay

By default, all three UART controllers work in receiver mode. When a UART controller is switched from
transmitter mode to receiver mode, the RS485 protocol requires a turnaround delay of one cycle after the stop
bit. The UART transmitter supports adding a turnaround delay of one cycle not only before the start bit but also
after the stop bit. When UART_DL0_EN is set, a turnaround delay of one cycle is added before the start bit;
when UART_DL1_EN is set, a turnaround delay of one cycle is added after the stop bit.

26.4.5.3 Bus Snooping

In a two-wire multidrop network, UART controllers support bus snooping if RE of the external RS485 transceiver
is 0. By default, a UART controller is not allowed to transmit and receive data simultaneously. If
UART_RS485TX_RX_EN is set and the external RS485 transceiver is configured as in Figure 26-7, a UART

Submit Documentation Feedback
26 UART Controller (UART) GoBack

controller may receive data in transmitter mode and snoop the bus. If UART_RS485RXBY_TX_EN is set, a UART
controller may transmit data in receiver mode.

All three UART controllers can snoop data sent by themselves. In transmitter mode, when a UART controller
monitors a collision between data sent and data received, a UART_RS485_CLASH_INT interrupt is generated;
when it monitors a data frame error, a UART_RS485_FRM_ERR_INT interrupt is generated; when it monitors a
polarity error, a UART_RS485_PARITY_ERR_INT is generated.

26.4.6 IrDA
IrDA protocol consists of three layers, namely the physical layer, the link access protocol, and the link
management protocol. The three UART controllers implement IrDA’s physical layer. In IrDA encoding, a UART
controller supports data rates up to 115.2 kbit/s (SIR, or serial infrared mode). As shown in Figure 26-8, the IrDA
encoder converts a NRZ (non-return to zero code) signal to a RZI (return to zero code) signal and sends it to the
external driver and infrared LED. This encoder uses modulated signals whose pulse width is 3/16 bits to indicate
logic “0”, and low levels to indicate logic “1”. The IrDA decoder receives signals from the infrared receiver and
converts them to NRZ signals. In most cases, the receiver is high when it is idle, and the encoder output polarity
is the opposite of the decoder input polarity. If a low pulse is detected, it indicates that a start bit has been
received.

When IrDA function is enabled, one bit is divided into 16 clock cycles. If the bit to be sent is zero, then the 9th,
10th and 11th clock cycle are high.

Figure 26­8. The Timing Diagram of Encoding and Decoding in SIR mode

The IrDA transceiver is half-duplex, meaning that it cannot send and receive data simultaneously. As shown in
Figure 26-9, IrDA function is enabled by setting UART_IRDA_EN. When UART_IRDA_TX_EN is set (high), the
IrDA transceiver is enabled to send data and not allowed to receive data; when UART_IRDA_TX_EN is reset (low),
the IrDA transceiver is enabled to receive data and not allowed to send data.

26.4.7 Wake­up
UART0 and UART1 can be set as a wake-up source for Light-sleep mode. To be specific Wakeup_Ctrl counts up
the rising edges of rxd_in, and when this count becomes greater than UART_ACTIVE_THRESHOLD + 2, a
wake_up signal is generated and sent to RTC, which then wakes ESP32-S3 up.

26.4.8 Loopback Test

UARTn supports loopback testing, which can be enabled by setting UART_LOOPBACK. When loopback testing
is enabled, UART output signal txd_out is connected to its input signal rxd_in, rtsn_out is connected to ctsn_in,
and dtrn_out is connected to dsrn_out. Data are then sent out through txd_out. If the data received match the
data sent, it indicates that UARTn controller is working properly.

26.4.9 Flow Control

UART controllers have two ways to control data flow, namely hardware flow control and software flow control.
Hardware flow control is achieved using output signal rtsn_out and input signal dsrn_in. Software flow control is
achieved by inserting special characters (XON or XOFF) in data flow sent and detecting special characters in data
flow received.

26.4.9.1 Hardware Flow Control

Figure 26­10. Hardware Flow Control Diagram

Figure 26-10 shows hardware flow control of a UART controller. Hardware flow control uses output signal
rtsn_out and input signal dsrn_in. Figure 26-11 illustrates how these signals are connected between UART on
ESP32-S3 (hereinafter referred to as IU0) and the external UART (hereinafter referred to as EU0).

When rtsn_out of IU0 is low, EU0 is allowed to send data; when rtsn_out of IU0 is high, EU0 is notified to stop
sending data until rtsn_out of IU0 returns to low. The output signal rtsn_out can be controlled in two ways.

• Software control: Enter this mode by clearing UART_RX_FLOW_EN to 0. In this mode, the level of rtsn_out
is changed by configuring UART_SW_RTS.

• Hardware control: Enter this mode by setting UART_RX_FLOW_EN to 1. In this mode, rtsn_out is pulled
high when data in Rx_FIFO exceeds UART_RX_FLOW_THRHD.

When ctsn_in of IU0 is low, IU0 is allowed to send data; when ctsn_in is high, IU0 is not allowed to send data.
When IU0 detects an edge change on ctsn_in, a UART_CTS_CHG_INT interrupt is generated.

If dtrn_out of IU0 is high, it indicates that IU0 is ready to transmit data. dtrn_out is generated by configuring the
UART_SW_DTR field. When the IU0 transmitter detects a edge change on dsrn_in, a UART_DSR_CHG_INT
interrupt is generated. After this interrupt is detected, software can obtain the level of input signal dsrn_in by
reading UART_DSRN. If dsrn_in is high, it indicates that EU0 is ready to transmit data.

In a two-wire RS485 multidrop network enabled by setting UART_RS485_EN, dtrn_out is generated by hardware
and used for transmit/receive turnaround. When data transmission starts, dtrn_out is pulled high and the external
driver is enabled; when data transmission completes, dtrn_out is pulled low and the external driver is disabled.
Please note that when there is turnaround delay of one cycle added after the stop bit, dtrn_out is pulled low after
the delay.

26.4.9.2 Software Flow Control

Instead of CTS/RTS lines, software flow control uses XON/XOFF characters to start or stop data transmission.
Such flow control can be enabled by setting UART_SW_FLOW_CON_EN to 1.

When choosing software flow control, the hardware automatically detects if XON and XOFF characters are used
in data flow, and generates a UART_SW_XOFF_INT or a UART_SW_XON_INT interrupt accordingly. When XOFF
character is detected, the transmitter stops data transmission once the current byte has been transmitted; when
XON character is detected, the transmitter starts data transmission. In addition, software can force the
transmitter to stop sending data or to start sending data by setting respectively UART_FORCE_XOFF or
UART_FORCE_XON.

Software determines whether to insert flow control characters according to the remaining room in the RX FIFO.
When UART_SEND_XOFF is set, the transmitter sends an XOFF character configured by UART_XOFF_CHAR
after the current byte in transmission; when UART_SEND_XON is set, the transmitter sends an XON character
configured by UART_XON_CHAR after the current byte in transmission. If the RX FIFO of a UART controller
stores more data than UART_XOFF_THRESHOLD, UART_SEND_XOFF is set by hardware. As a result, the
transmitter sends an XOFF character configured by UART_XOFF_CHAR after the current byte in transmission. If
the RX FIFO of a UART controller stores less data than UART_XON_THRESHOLD, UART_SEND_XON is set by
hardware. As a result, the transmitter sends an XON character configured by UART_XON_CHAR after the current
byte in transmission.

26.4.10 GDMA Mode

All three UART controllers on ESP32-S3 share one TX/RX GDMA (general direct memory access) channel via
UHCI. In GDMA mode, UART controllers support the decoding and encoding of HCI data packets. The
UHCI_UARTn_CE field determines which UART controller occupies the GDMA TX/RX channel.

Figure 26­12. Data Transfer in GDMA Mode

Figure 26-12 shows how data are transferred using GDMA. Before GDMA receives data, software prepares an
inlink (i.e. a linked list of receive descriptors. For details, see Chapter 3 GDMA Controller (GDMA)).
GDMA_INLINK_ADDR_CHn points to the first receive descriptor in the inlink. After GDMA_INLINK_START_CHn
is set, UHCI passes data that UART has received to the decoder. The decoded data are then stored into the
RAM pointed by the inlink under the control of GDMA.

Before GDMA sends data, software prepares an outlink and data to be sent. GDMA_OUTLINK_ADDR_CHn
points to the first transmit descriptor in the outlink. After GDMA_OUTLINK_START_CHn is set, GDMA reads data
from the RAM pointed by outlink. The data are then encoded by the encoder, and sent sequentially by the UART
transmitter.

HCI data packets have separators at the beginning and the end, with data bits in the middle (separators + data
bits + separators). The encoder inserts separators in front of and after data bits, and replaces data bits identical
to separators with special characters (i.e. escape characters). The decoder removes separators in front of and
after data bits, and replaces escape characters with separators. There can be more than one continuous
separator at the beginning and the end of a data packet. The separator is configured by UHCI_SEPER_CHAR,
0xC0 by default. The escape characters are configured by UHCI_ESC_SEQ0_CHAR0 (0xDB by default) and
UHCI_ESC_SEQ0_CHAR1 (0xDD by default). When all data have been sent, a
GDMA_OUT_TOTAL_EOF_CHn_INT interrupt is generated. When all data have been received, a
GDMA_IN_SUC_EOF_CHn_INT is generated.

26.5 Programming Procedures

26.5.1 Register Type
All UART registers are in APB_CLK domain. According to whether clock domain crossing and synchronization
are required, UART registers that can be configured by software are classified into three types, namely

Espressif Systems 905 ESP32-S3 TRM (Version 1.1)

Submit Documentation Feedback
26 UART Controller (UART) GoBack

synchronous registers, static registers, and immediate registers. Synchronous registers are read in Core Clock
domain, and take effect after synchronization. Static registers are also read in Core Clock domain, but would not
change dynamically. Therefore, for static registers, clock domain crossing is not required, and software can turn
on and off the clock for the UART transmitter or receiver to ensure that the configuration sampled in Core Clock
domain is correct. Immediate registers are read in APB_CLK domain, and take effect after being configured via
the APB bus.

26.5.1.1 Synchronous Registers

Since synchronous registers are read in core clock domain, but written in APB_CLK domain, they implement the
clock domain crossing design to ensure that their values sampled in Core Clock domain are correct. These
registers as listed in Table 26-1 are configured as follows:

• Enable register synchronization by clearing UART_UPDATE_CTRL to 0;

• Wait for UART_REG_UPDATE to become 0, which indicates the completion of last synchronization;

• Configure synchronous registers;

• Synchronize the configured values to Core Clock domain by writing 1 to UART_REG_UPDATE.

26.5.1.2 Static Registers

Static registers, though also read in Core Clock domain, would not change dynamically when UART controllers
are at work, so they do not implement the clock domain crossing design. These registers must be configured
when the UART transmitter or receiver is not at work. In this case, software can turn off the clock for the UART
transmitter or receiver, so that static registers are not sampled in their metastable state. When software turns on
the clock, the configured values are stable to be correctly sampled. Static registers as listed in Table 26-2 are
configured as follows:

• Turn off the clock for the UART transmitter by clearing UART_TX_SCLK_EN, or the clock for the UART
receiver by clearing UART_RX_SCLK_EN, depending on which one (transmitter or receiver) is not at work;

• Configure static registers;

• Turn on the clock for the UART transmitter by writing 1 to UART_TX_SCLK_EN, or the clock for the UART
receiver by writing 1 to UART_RX_SCLK_EN.

26.5.1.3 Immediate Registers

Except those listed in Table 26-1 and Table 26-2, registers that can be configured by software are immediate
registers read in APB_CLK domain, such as interrupt and FIFO configuration registers.

Figure 26-13 illustrates the process to program UART controllers, namely initializing the UART, configuring the
registers, enabling the transmitter and/or receiver, and finishing data transmission.
