how can i connect these two

@copilot how can i connect these two
2y
To connect the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N16R8 and ICM-20948, there are several critical connections you would need to consider, namely power, ground, and data transfer. Here is a general guide on how you might connect these parts:
  1. Power Supply: Connect the VDD pin of the ICM-20948 (Power Supply) to the 3V3 pin on the ESP32 module. This will provide power to the ICM-20948.
  2. Ground: Connect the GND (Ground) pin of the ICM-20948 to one of the GND pins of the ESP32 module to complete the power circuit.
  3. Data Transfer: The ICM-20948 supports both I2C and SPI communication protocol. As the ESP32 also supports these protocols, we can use either of them for data transfer:
    • I2C: Connect the SDA/SDI (Serial Data) pin of the ICM-20948 to any of the IO pins on the ESP32 (like IO21) which will be configured as SDA. Connect the SCL/SCLK (Serial Clock) pin on the ICM-20948 to another IO pin on the ESP32 (like IO22) which will be configured as SCL.
    • SPI: If you prefer to use SPI, connect the SDA/SDI (Serial Data Input) and SCL/SCLK (Serial Clock) pins of the ICM-20948 to the corresponding SPI pins on the ESP32 (like IO23 for SDO and IO18 for SCLK). Connect the ~CS (Chip Select) pin on the ICM-20948 to another IO pin on ESP32 (like IO5) which will act as a chip select signal.
  4. Interrupt Signal: You may also connect an interrupt signal from the ICM-20948 to one of the ESP32’s IO pins if you aim to do interrupt-based programming. In this case, you can connect the INT1 pin of the ICM-20948 to an IO pin on the ESP32 (like IO19).
Note: These instructions assume that IO21, IO22, IO23, IO18, IO5, and IO19 are available for use and programmed to function as specified. Also, you need to refer to the specific datasheet or documentation of your ESP32 and ICM-20948 modules to verify the pinouts and connections. You will also need to carry out the required software configuration on the ESP32 to set the pins to their correct modes for I2C/SPI communication and handle data transmission.

icm-20948 is 1.8v and esp32 is 3.3
2y
You're correct that the standard I/O voltage level (VDDIO) for the ICM-20948 is 1.8V, while the ESP32 operates at 3.3V. Directly connecting the two devices could damage the ICM-20948. To solve this issue, you can use a level shifter or voltage translator circuit to safely connect the ICM-20948 with the ESP32.
The role of the level shifter is to translate the voltage levels between the two devices, ensuring safe communication.
Steps:
  1. Power Supply: Rather than directly connecting the power supply (VDD) of the ICM-20948 to the 3.3V on the ESP32, you need to provide it with a separate 1.8V supply. You can use a voltage regulator to step down the 3.3V to 1.8V.
  2. Ground: Connect the GND (Ground) pin of the ICM-20948 to any GND pin of the ESP32.
  3. Data Transfer: For I2C or SPI communication between the two devices, instead of directly connecting them, you should add a level shifting circuitry in between. This circuitry shifts the 3.3V signals from the ESP32 to 1.8V signals for the ICM-20948 and vice versa. You can find appropriate level shifter modules for either I2C or SPI communication.
  4. Interrupt: If you plan to use an interrupt signal from the ICM-20948, connect

level shifter for i2c
2y
You're right, you would need a level shifter for I2C communication between the ICM-20948 sensor (which operates at 1.8V) and the ESP32 (which operates at 3.3V).
Here's how you can connect them using a level shifter:
  1. Connect the lower voltage side (LV) Vcc pin of the level shifter to the 1.8V power supply.
  2. Connect the higher voltage side (HV) Vcc pin of the level shifter to the 3.3V power supply of ESP32.
  3. Connect the GND (Ground) pins of the level shifter to the common ground (GND) of the two systems (ESP32 and ICM-20948) so the two sides have a common reference voltage.
  4. Connect the SCL (Serial Clock) line of your I2C bus from the ICM-20948 sensor to one of the LV side channel pins on the level shifter.
  5. Correspondingly, connect an IO pin configured as SCL on the ESP32 to the HV side of the same channel on the level shifter.
  6. Do the same for the SDA (Serial Data) line of your I2C bus - one end to an LV side pin and the other end to the corresponding HV side pin.
Now, when any device speaks to the other, the level shifter will adjust the voltage levels accordingly, preventing any harm to your ICM-20948 sensor. It's important to note that you also need to configure the relevant pins in your code.
There are many level shifters available on the market such as Adafruit 1875, PCA9306, TXB0108 etc. It's recommended you choose a bi-directional level shifter, which can handle I2C's bi-directional data flow.

@copilot any ic that does the conversion form 3.3V signal to 1.8V
2y
A common device often used to convert logic level signals from one voltage level to another is a level shifter or a logic level translator. One such example of a bidirectional level shifter that can convert signals from 3.3V to 1.8V is the TXS0102 from Texas Instruments.
This IC has two bidirectional channels that are capable of shifting logic levels both ways, i.e., from 3.3V signals to 1.8V signals and vice versa, making it versatile for different applications. This level shifter is specified for voltage translation over a wide voltage range (from $1.2 \mathrm{~V} $ to $3.6 \mathrm{~V} $) which should cover your scenario.
Please make sure to review the datasheet of the product and ensure its compatibility with your device's specifications. The availability might also depend on the specific package type you need and the stocking levels from your supplier.
Nonetheless, always double-check to ensure the requirements of your specific application are met.

ALSO how to convert 3.3v power supply to 1.8v
2y
To convert a 3.3V power supply to 1.8V, you would typically use a voltage regulator. One common choice for this type of application is a Low-Dropout regulator (LDO).
A widely used LDO for this purpose is the LD1117. It is an adjustable voltage regulator capable of outputting voltages from 1.2V up to 15V. However, you would need to set it up properly using two resistors to generate the precise 1.8V output.
Here's a simplistic way to connect the LD1117:
  1. Connect the VIN pin of the LD1117 to the 3.3V power supply.
  2. Connect the GND pin of the LD1117 to the ground of your power supply.
  3. Set the VOUT pin to 1.8V by using a voltage divider network of two resistors. You need to select the resistor values based on this equation:
VOUT=VREF×(1+R2R1)+IADJ×R2V_{OUT} =V_{REF} \times(1+\frac{R_2} {R_1} )+I_{ADJ} \times R_2
Where:
- $V_{OUT} $ is the desired output voltage (1.8V).
- $V_{REF} $ is the internal reference voltage (1.25V for LD1117).
- $R_1$ and $R_2$ are the resistors in your voltage divider network.
- $I_{ADJ} $ is the LD1117's adjustment pin current (typically around 50μA and can be neglected in most calculations).
Please note that in a real-world scenario, the power supply circuit would include additional capacitors for filtering noise and to stabilize the output voltage. The datasheet of the LD1117 provides more detailed information including typical application circuitry.
Also, always make sure to test the circuit in a safe environment before proceeding to ensure that it will not damage your target devices due to incorrect voltage.
Remember that the power dissipation on the voltage regulator needs to be properly addressed. In your case, the LDO will dissipate about $(3.3V-1.8V)\times I_{LOAD} $ in heat, where $I_{LOAD} $ is the current consumed by your 1.8V load. If this value is too high, you'll need to add a heatsink to the LDO in order to prevent overheating.
Lastly, check that the output current and power dissipation capability of the LDO is suitable for your application. If your circuit requires a large amount of current, a switching regulator (also known as a DC-DC converter), such as LM2596, may be a more efficient choice even though its implementation is somewhat more complicated due to an inductor and extra capacitors.
As always, be sure to consult the specific components' datasheets for full information on how to use them in your design.

mosfet that has can be activated with 1.8v
2y
A commonly used MOSFET that can be controlled with a relatively low gate-source voltage (Vgs) such as 1.8V is the BSS138. This N-channel enhancement mode Field Effect Transistor is designed for analog switch applications and it offers a Vgs(th) (threshold voltage) as low as 1.3V max, which means it can start to conduct current with as little as 1.3V applied between the gate and source terminals.
Here's a simple way you can use BSS138 as a switch:
  1. Connect the 'Drain' pin to the device that you want to turn on or off with the MOSFET.
  2. Connect the 'Source' pin to the ground reference of your system.
  3. Control the 'Gate' pin with a 1.8V signal. As per datasheet, applying 1.8V to 'Gate' will make the MOSFET conductive and thus 'Drain' will get connected to 'Source', allowing current to flow to your device.
You can check the datasheet for exact details of this component. And remember to always ensure that the voltage and current ratings of the MOSFET match (or preferably exceed) the requirements of your application for safe and reliable operation.
Ensure that the BSS138 MOSFET can handle the power dissipation which can be calculated from:
PD=ID2RDS(on)P_{D} = I_{D} ^2 * R_{DS(on)}
Here, $ P_D $ is the power dissipation, $ I_D $ is the drain current, and $ R_{DS(on)} $ is the on-state resistance of the MOSFET. If the resulting power crosses the thermal limit of the package, might be necessary to attach a heat sink.

which pins of esp32 -s3 can be used for i2c
2y
The ESP32-S3 chip, as implied in your ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N16R8 module, supports I2C communication.
The I2C interface requires two lines: SDA (data) and SCL (clock). By default, on ESP32, the I2C lines are typically on GPIO21 for SDA and GPIO22 for SCL, but since the ESP32 is highly flexible it allows the use of arbitrary pins for I2C communication.
From the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N16R8 pinout, it seems that these default pins (GPIO21 and GPIO22) are not exposed. Therefore, you would need to map other available pins for this purpose. For example, you can use the following pins:
  1. IO18 for SCL
  2. IO19 for SDA
or alternative options could be:
  1. IO13 for SCL
  2. IO14 for SDA
Please bear in mind that you must update these definitions in your firmware code accordingly. For example, in Arduino IDE, you would use the Wire.begin(SDA, SCL); function to set arbitrary pins for I2C communication, where SDA and SCL are the numbers of the pins you plan to use.
It's worth noting as well that you need to ensure these I2C pins are not being used by other peripherals in your application to avoid conflicts.
