CAP1 and CAP2 rc circuit functionality

Postby damian » Thu Mar 08, 2018 10:00 am

I have doubts about the function of the RC circuit connected to CAP1 and CAP2. The only words about it are in ESP32 Hardware Design Guidelines :
Removing the RC circuit may slightly affect ESP32 in Deep-sleep mode
So the rc circuit is involved in the 8MHz internal oscillator used in deep-sleep mode?
If I never go in deep-sleep mode can I leave CAP1 and CAP2 unconnected?
Thanks!!

After some experiments I saw that the removal of this RC circuit doesn't affect anything visible (I note that I don't use deep sleep in my application).
However I hope that the functionality of this circuit will be explained in an upcoming release of the official technical documentation.
