PCB Layout Design

3.3 Power Supply

Figure 15: ESP32­C3 Family Power Traces in a Four­layer PCB Design

• Four-layer PCB design is recommended over two-layer design. Route the power traces on the fourth

(bottom) layer whenever possible. Vias are required for the power traces to go through the layers and get

connected to the pins on the top layer. There should be at least two vias if the main power traces need to

cross layers. The drill diameter on other power traces should be no smaller than the width of the power

traces.

• As shown in Figure

15

an ESD protection diode is placed close to the power port (marked in red circle). A

10 µF capacitor is required before the power trace is connected to the chip, to be used in conjunction with

a 0.1 µF capacitor. Then the power traces are divided into two ways from here and form a star-shape

topology, thus reducing the coupling between different power pins. Note that all decoupling capacitors

should be placed close to the power pin, and ground vias should be added close to the ground pin of

decoupling capacitors to ensure a short return path.

• The 3.3 V power traces, highlighted in yellow, are routed as shown in Figure

15

The width of the main

power traces should be at least 20 mil. The width of the power traces for pin 2 and pin 3 should be at least

15 mil. The width of other power traces is preferably 10 mil.

• As shown in Figure

16

we recommend connecting the capacitor to ground in the LC filter circuit near pin 2

and pin 3 (analog power supply pins) to the third and fourth layer through a via, and maintaining a keep-out

area on other layers.
