Figure 3: ESP32C3 Family Analog Power Supply Pins
Notice:
• If you use a single power supply, the recommended voltage of the power supply for ESP32-C3 family
is 3.3 V, and its recommended output current is 500 mA or more.
• You are suggested to add an ESD protection diode at the power entrance.
2.2 Poweron Sequence and System Reset
2.2.1 Poweron Sequence
ESP32-C3 family uses a 3.3 V system power supply. The chip should be activated after the power rails have
stabilized. This is achieved by delaying the activation of pin 7 CHIP_EN after the 3.3 V rails have been brought
up.
Figure 4 shows the power-up and reset timing of ESP32-C3 family. Details about the parameters are listed in
Table 1.
