1.2 Description
ESP32-C3-MINI-1 and ESP32-C3-MINI-1U are two general-purpose Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE modules. The rich
set of peripherals and a small size make the two modules an ideal choice for smart homes, industrial automation,
health care, consumer electronics, etc.
ESP32-C3-MINI-1 comes with a PCB antenna. ESP32-C3-MINI-1U comes with a connector for an external
antenna. ESP32-C3-MINI-1 and ESP32-C3-MINI-1U have two variants:
• 105 °C version integrating the ESP32-C3FH4 chip and operating at –40 ~ 105 °C
The two variants only differ in chip integrated and ambient operating temperature. In this datasheet unless
otherwise stated, ESP32-C3-MINI-1 refers to both ESP32-C3-MINI-1-N4 and ESP32-C3-MINI-1-H4, whereas
ESP32-C3-MINI-1U refers to both ESP32-C3-MINI-1U-N4 and ESP32-C3-MINI-1U-H4.
The ESP32-C3FN4 chip and the ESP32-C3FH4 chip, both with a 4 MB flash, fall into the same category, namely
ESP32-C3 chip series. ESP32-C3 series of chips have a 32-bit RISC-V single-core processor. They integrate a
rich set of peripherals, ranging from UART, I2C, I2S, remote control peripheral, LED PWM controller, general DMA
controller, TWAI® controller, USB Serial/JTAG controller, temperature sensor, and ADC. It also includes SPI, Dual
SPI and Quad SPI interfaces.
The ESP32-C3FN4 chip and the ESP32-C3FH4 chip vary only in the ambient temperature. For details, please
refer to Family Member Comparison in ESP32-C3 Series Datasheet.

• GPIO2
• GPIO8
• GPIO9
Software can read the values of GPIO2, GPIO8 and GPIO9 from GPIO_STRAPPING field in GPIO_STRAP_REG
register. For register description, please refer to Section GPIO Matrix Register Summary in
ESP32-C3 Technical Reference Manual.
During the chip’s system reset, the latches of the strapping pins sample the voltage level as strapping bits of ”0”
or ”1”, and hold these bits until the chip is powered down or shut down.
• power-on reset
• brownout reset
By default, GPIO9 is connected to the internal pull-up resistor. If GPIO9 is not connected or connected to an
external high-impedance circuit, the latched bit value will be ”1”
To change the strapping bit values, you can apply the external pull-down/pull-up resistances, or use the host
MCU’s GPIOs to control the voltage level of these pins when powering on ESP32-C3 family.

Enabling/Disabling ROM Code Print During Booting
Pin Default Functionality
When the value of eFuse field EFUSE_UART_PRINT_CONTROL is
0 (default), print is enabled and not controlled by GPIO8.
GPIO8 N/A 1, if GPIO8 is 0, print is enabled; if GPIO8 is 1, it is disabled.
2, if GPIO8 is 0, print is disabled; if GPIO8 is 1, it is enabled.
3, print is disabled and not controlled by GPIO8.

The strapping combination of GPIO8 = 0 and GPIO9 = 0 is invalid and will trigger unexpected behavior.
Figure 4 shows the setup and hold times for the strapping pins before and after the CHIP_EN signal goes high.
Details about the parameters are listed in Table 4.

• Soldering the EPAD to the ground of the base board is not a must, however, it can optimize thermal
performance. If you choose to solder it, please apply the correct amount of soldering paste.
• To ensure that the power supply to the ESP32-C3 chip is stable during power-up, it is advised to add an
RC delay circuit at the EN pin. The recommended setting for the RC delay circuit is usually R = 10 kΩ and
C = 1 µF. However, specific parameters should be adjusted based on the power-up timing of the module
and the power-up and reset sequence timing of the chip. For ESP32-C3’s power-up and reset sequence
timing diagram, please refer to Section Power Scheme in ESP32-C3 Series Datasheet.
