Sleep Modes

Overview

ESP32 contains the following power saving modes: Light-sleep, and Deep-sleep.

In Light-sleep mode, the digital peripherals, most of the RAM, and CPUs are clock-gated and their supply voltage is reduced. Upon exit from Light-sleep, the digital peripherals, RAM, and CPUs resume operation and their internal states are preserved.

In Deep-sleep mode, the CPUs, most of the RAM, and all digital peripherals that are clocked from APB_CLK are powered off. The only parts of the chip that remain powered on are:

RTC controller

ULP coprocessor

RTC fast memory

RTC slow memory

There are several wakeup sources in Deep-sleep and Light-sleep modes. These sources can also be combined so that the chip will wake up when any of the sources are triggered. Wakeup sources can be enabled using esp_sleep_enable_X_wakeup APIs and can be disabled using esp_sleep_disable_wakeup_source() API. Next section describes these APIs in detail. Wakeup sources can be configured at any moment before entering Light-sleep or Deep-sleep mode.

Additionally, the application can force specific powerdown modes for RTC peripherals and RTC memories using esp_sleep_pd_config() API.

Once wakeup sources are configured, the application can enter sleep mode using esp_light_sleep_start() or esp_deep_sleep_start() APIs. At this point, the hardware will be configured according to the requested wakeup sources, and the RTC controller will either power down or power off the CPUs and digital peripherals.

Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and Sleep Modes

In Deep-sleep and Light-sleep modes, the wireless peripherals are powered down. Before entering Deep-sleep or Light-sleep modes, the application must disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth using the appropriate calls (i.e., esp_bluedroid_disable(), esp_bt_controller_disable(), esp_wifi_stop()). Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections will not be maintained in Deep-sleep or Light-sleep mode, even if these functions are not called.

If Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connections need to be maintained, enable Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Modem-sleep mode and automatic Light-sleep feature (see Power Management APIs). This will allow the system to wake up from sleep automatically when required by the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth driver, thereby maintaining the connection.

Wakeup Sources

Timer

The RTC controller has a built-in timer which can be used to wake up the chip after a predefined amount of time. Time is specified at microsecond precision, but the actual resolution depends on the clock source selected for RTC SLOW_CLK.

For details on RTC clock options, see ESP32 Technical Reference Manual > ULP Coprocessor [PDF].

RTC peripherals or RTC memories don’t need to be powered on during sleep in this wakeup mode.

esp_sleep_enable_timer_wakeup() function can be used to enable sleep wakeup using a timer.

Touchpad

The RTC IO module contains the logic to trigger wakeup when a touch sensor interrupt occurs. To wakeup from a touch sensor interrupt, users need to configure the touch pad interrupt before the chip enters Deep-sleep or Light-sleep modes.

Revisions 0 and 1 of ESP32 only support this wakeup mode when RTC peripherals are not forced to be powered on (i.e., ESP_PD_DOMAIN_RTC_PERIPH should be set to ESP_PD_OPTION_AUTO).

esp_sleep_enable_touchpad_wakeup() function can be used to enable this wakeup source.

External Wakeup (ext0)

The RTC IO module contains the logic to trigger wakeup when one of RTC GPIOs is set to a predefined logic level. RTC IO is part of the RTC peripherals power domain, so RTC peripherals will be kept powered on during Deep-sleep if this wakeup source is requested.

The RTC IO module is enabled in this mode, so internal pullup or pulldown resistors can also be used. They need to be configured by the application using rtc_gpio_pullup_en() and rtc_gpio_pulldown_en() functions before calling esp_deep_sleep_start().

In revisions 0 and 1 of ESP32, this wakeup source is incompatible with ULP and touch wakeup sources.

esp_sleep_enable_ext0_wakeup() function can be used to enable this wakeup source.

Warning

After waking up from sleep, the IO pad used for wakeup will be configured as RTC IO. Therefore, before using this pad as digital GPIO, users need to reconfigure it using rtc_gpio_deinit() function.

External Wakeup (ext1)

The RTC controller contains the logic to trigger wakeup using multiple RTC GPIOs. One of the following two logic functions can be used to trigger wakeup:

wake up if any of the selected pins is high (ESP_EXT1_WAKEUP_ANY_HIGH)
wake up if all the selected pins are low (ESP_EXT1_WAKEUP_ALL_LOW)

This wakeup source is implemented by the RTC controller. As such, RTC peripherals and RTC memories can be powered down in this mode. However, if RTC peripherals are powered down, internal pullup and pulldown resistors will be disabled if we don’t use the HOLD feature. To use internal pullup or pulldown resistors, request the RTC peripherals power domain to be kept on during sleep, and configure pullup/pulldown resistors using rtc_gpio_ functions before entering sleep:

esp_sleep_pd_config(ESP_PD_DOMAIN_RTC_PERIPH, ESP_PD_OPTION_ON);
rtc_gpio_pullup_dis(gpio_num);
rtc_gpio_pulldown_en(gpio_num);

If we turn off the RTC_PERIPH domain, we will use the HOLD feature to maintain the pull-up and pull-down on the pins during sleep. HOLD feature will be acted on the pin internally before the system entering sleep, and this can further reduce power consumption:

rtc_gpio_pullup_dis(gpio_num);
rtc_gpio_pulldown_en(gpio_num);

If certain chips lack the RTC_PERIPH domain, we can only use the HOLD feature to maintain the pull-up and pull-down on the pins during sleep:

gpio_pullup_dis(gpio_num);
gpio_pulldown_en(gpio_num);

Warning

To use the EXT1 wakeup, the IO pad(s) are configured as RTC IO. Therefore, before using these pads as digital GPIOs, users need to reconfigure them by calling the rtc_gpio_deinit() function.
If the RTC peripherals are configured to be powered down (which is by default), the wakeup IOs will be set to the holding state before entering sleep. Therefore, after the chip wakes up from Light-sleep, please call rtc_gpio_hold_dis to disable the hold function to perform any pin re-configuration. For Deep-sleep wakeup, this is already being handled at the application startup stage.

esp_sleep_enable_ext1_wakeup() function can be used to enable this wakeup source.

ULP Coprocessor Wakeup

ULP coprocessor can run while the chip is in sleep mode, and may be used to poll sensors, monitor ADC or touch sensor values, and wake up the chip when a specific event is detected. ULP coprocessor is part of the RTC peripherals power domain, and it runs the program stored in RTC slow memory. RTC slow memory will be powered on during sleep if this wakeup mode is requested. RTC peripherals will be automatically powered on before ULP coprocessor starts running the program; once the program stops running, RTC peripherals are automatically powered down again.

Revisions 0 and 1 of ESP32 only support this wakeup mode when RTC peripherals are not forced to be powered on (i.e., ESP_PD_DOMAIN_RTC_PERIPH should be set to ESP_PD_OPTION_AUTO).

esp_sleep_enable_ulp_wakeup() function can be used to enable this wakeup source.

GPIO Wakeup (Light-sleep Only)

In addition to EXT0 and EXT1 wakeup sources described above, one more method of wakeup from external inputs is available in Light-sleep mode. With this wakeup source, each pin can be individually configured to trigger wakeup on high or low level using gpio_wakeup_enable() function. Unlike EXT0 and EXT1 wakeup sources, which can only be used with RTC IOs, this wakeup source can be used with any IO (RTC or digital).

esp_sleep_enable_gpio_wakeup() function can be used to enable this wakeup source.

Warning

Before entering Light-sleep mode, check if any GPIO pin to be driven is part of the VDD_SDIO power domain. If so, this power domain must be configured to remain ON during sleep.

For example, on ESP32-WROOM-32 board, GPIO16 and GPIO17 are linked to VDD_SDIO power domain. If they are configured to remain high during Light-sleep, the power domain should be configured to remain powered ON. This can be done with esp_sleep_pd_config():

esp_sleep_pd_config(ESP_PD_DOMAIN_VDDSDIO, ESP_PD_OPTION_ON);

UART Wakeup (Light-sleep Only)

When ESP32 receives UART input from external devices, it is often necessary to wake up the chip when input data is available. The UART peripheral contains a feature which allows waking up the chip from Light-sleep when a certain number of positive edges on RX pin are seen. This number of positive edges can be set using uart_set_wakeup_threshold() function. Note that the character which triggers wakeup (and any characters before it) will not be received by the UART after wakeup. This means that the external device typically needs to send an extra character to the ESP32 to trigger wakeup before sending the data.

esp_sleep_enable_uart_wakeup() function can be used to enable this wakeup source.

Power-down of RTC Peripherals and Memories

By default, esp_deep_sleep_start() and esp_light_sleep_start() functions will power down all RTC power domains which are not needed by the enabled wakeup sources. To override this behaviour, esp_sleep_pd_config() function is provided.

Note: in revision 0 of ESP32, RTC fast memory will always be kept enabled in Deep-sleep, so that the Deep-sleep stub can run after reset. This can be overridden, if the application doesn’t need clean reset behaviour after Deep-sleep.

If some variables in the program are placed into RTC slow memory (for example, using RTC_DATA_ATTR attribute), RTC slow memory will be kept powered on by default. This can be overridden using esp_sleep_pd_config() function, if desired.

Power-down of Flash

By default, to avoid potential issues, esp_light_sleep_start() function will not power down flash. To be more specific, it takes time to power down the flash and during this period the system may be woken up, which then actually powers up the flash before this flash could be powered down completely. As a result, there is a chance that the flash may not work properly.

So, in theory, it’s ok if you only wake up the system after the flash is completely powered down. However, in reality, the flash power-down period can be hard to predict (for example, this period can be much longer when you add filter capacitors to the flash’s power supply circuit) and uncontrollable (for example, the asynchronous wake-up signals make the actual sleep time uncontrollable).

Warning

If a filter capacitor is added to your flash power supply circuit, please do everything possible to avoid powering down flash.

Therefore, it’s recommended not to power down flash when using ESP-IDF. For power-sensitive applications, it’s recommended to use Kconfig option CONFIG_ESP_SLEEP_FLASH_LEAKAGE_WORKAROUND to reduce the power consumption of the flash during light sleep, instead of powering down the flash.

It is worth mentioning that PSRAM has a similar Kconfig option CONFIG_ESP_SLEEP_PSRAM_LEAKAGE_WORKAROUND.

However, for those who have fully understood the risk and are still willing to power down the flash to further reduce the power consumption, please check the following mechanisms:

Setting Kconfig option CONFIG_ESP_SLEEP_POWER_DOWN_FLASH only powers down the flash when the RTC timer is the only wake-up source and the sleep time is longer than the flash power-down period.

Calling esp_sleep_pd_config(ESP_PD_DOMAIN_VDDSDIO, ESP_PD_OPTION_OFF) powers down flash when the RTC timer is not enabled as a wakeup source or the sleep time is longer than the flash power-down period.

Note

ESP-IDF does not provide any mechanism that can power down the flash in all conditions when light sleep.
esp_deep_sleep_start() function will force power down flash regardless of user configuration.

Entering Light-sleep

esp_light_sleep_start() function can be used to enter Light-sleep once wakeup sources are configured. It is also possible to enter Light-sleep with no wakeup sources configured. In this case, the chip will be in Light-sleep mode indefinitely until external reset is applied.

Entering Deep-sleep

esp_deep_sleep_start() function can be used to enter Deep-sleep once wakeup sources are configured. It is also possible to enter Deep-sleep with no wakeup sources configured. In this case, the chip will be in Deep-sleep mode indefinitely until external reset is applied.

Configuring IOs

Some ESP32 IOs have internal pullups or pulldowns, which are enabled by default. If an external circuit drives this pin in Deep-sleep mode, current consumption may increase due to current flowing through these pullups and pulldowns.

To isolate a pin to prevent extra current draw, call rtc_gpio_isolate() function.

For example, on ESP32-WROVER module, GPIO12 is pulled up externally, and it also has an internal pulldown in the ESP32 chip. This means that in Deep-sleep, some current will flow through these external and internal resistors, increasing Deep-sleep current above the minimal possible value.

Add the following code before esp_deep_sleep_start() to remove such extra current:

rtc_gpio_isolate(GPIO_NUM_12);

UART Output Handling

Before entering sleep mode, esp_deep_sleep_start() will flush the contents of UART FIFOs.

When entering Light-sleep mode using esp_light_sleep_start(), UART FIFOs will not be flushed. Instead, UART output will be suspended, and remaining characters in the FIFO will be sent out after wakeup from Light-sleep.

Checking Sleep Wakeup Cause

esp_sleep_get_wakeup_cause() function can be used to check which wakeup source has triggered wakeup from sleep mode.

For touchpad, it is possible to identify which touch pin has caused wakeup using esp_sleep_get_touchpad_wakeup_status() functions.

For ext1 wakeup sources, it is possible to identify which touch pin has caused wakeup using esp_sleep_get_ext1_wakeup_status() functions.

Disable Sleep Wakeup Source

Previously configured wakeup sources can be disabled later using esp_sleep_disable_wakeup_source() API. This function deactivates trigger for the given wakeup source. Additionally, it can disable all triggers if the argument is ESP_SLEEP_WAKEUP_ALL.

Application Example

protocols/sntp: the implementation of basic functionality of Deep-sleep, where ESP module is periodically waken up to retrieve time from NTP server.
wifi/power_save: the implementation of Wi-Fi Modem-sleep example.

bluetooth/nimble/power_save: the implementation of Bluetooth Modem-sleep example.

system/deep_sleep: the usage of various Deep-sleep wakeup triggers and ULP coprocessor programming.

Returns: touch pad which caused wakeup

bool esp_sleep_is_valid_wakeup_gpio(gpio_num_t gpio_num)

Returns true if a GPIO number is valid for use as wakeup source.

Note

For SoCs with RTC IO capability, this can be any valid RTC IO input pin.

Returns: True if this GPIO number will be accepted as a sleep wakeup source.

esp_err_t esp_sleep_enable_ext0_wakeup(gpio_num_t gpio_num, int level)

Enable wakeup using a pin.

This function uses external wakeup feature of RTC_IO peripheral. It will work only if RTC peripherals are kept on during sleep.

This feature can monitor any pin which is an RTC IO. Once the pin transitions into the state given by level argument, the chip will be woken up.

Note

This function does not modify pin configuration. The pin is configured in esp_deep_sleep_start/esp_light_sleep_start, immediately before entering sleep mode.

Note

ESP32: ext0 wakeup source can not be used together with touch or ULP wakeup sources.

Parameters

gpio_num – GPIO number used as wakeup source. Only GPIOs with the RTC functionality can be used. For different SoCs, the related GPIOs are:
- ESP32: 0, 2, 4, 12-15, 25-27, 32-39;
- ESP32-S2: 0-21;
- ESP32-S3: 0-21.

Returns

ESP_OK on success
ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG if the selected GPIO is not an RTC GPIO, or the mode is invalid

esp_err_t esp_sleep_enable_ext1_wakeup(uint64_t mask, esp_sleep_ext1_wakeup_mode_t mode)

Enable wakeup using multiple pins.

This function uses external wakeup feature of RTC controller. It will work even if RTC peripherals are shut down during sleep.

This feature can monitor any number of pins which are in RTC IOs. Once any of the selected pins goes into the state given by mode argument, the chip will be woken up.

Note

This function does not modify pin configuration. The pins are configured in esp_deep_sleep_start/esp_light_sleep_start, immediately before entering sleep mode.

Note

Internal pullups and pulldowns don’t work when RTC peripherals are shut down. In this case, external resistors need to be added. Alternatively, RTC peripherals (and pullups/pulldowns) may be kept enabled using esp_sleep_pd_config function. If we turn off the RTC_PERIPH domain or certain chips lack the RTC_PERIPH domain, we will use the HOLD feature to maintain the pull-up and pull-down on the pins during sleep. HOLD feature will be acted on the pin internally before the system entering sleep, and this can further reduce power consumption.

Parameters

mask – bit mask of GPIO numbers which will cause wakeup. Only GPIOs which have RTC functionality can be used in this bit map. For different SoCs, the related GPIOs are:
- ESP32: 0, 2, 4, 12-15, 25-27, 32-39
- ESP32-S2: 0-21
- ESP32-S3: 0-21
- ESP32-C6: 0-7
- ESP32-H2: 7-14

ESP_OK on success
ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG if any of the selected GPIOs is not an RTC GPIO, or mode is invalid

esp_err_t esp_sleep_enable_gpio_wakeup(void)

Enable wakeup from light sleep using GPIOs.

Each GPIO supports wakeup function, which can be triggered on either low level or high level. Unlike EXT0 and EXT1 wakeup sources, this method can be used both for all IOs: RTC IOs and digital IOs. It can only be used to wakeup from light sleep though.

To enable wakeup, first call gpio_wakeup_enable, specifying gpio number and wakeup level, for each GPIO which is used for wakeup. Then call this function to enable wakeup feature.
