For U1, the datasheet confirms the required logic states at reset for these strapping pins, but it does not give a specific external resistor value. A standard, safe recommendation is 10 kOhm external pulls.

Recommended wiring for U1 strapping pins

Pin on U1Required reset state from datasheetRecommended resistorWiring
GPIO12 / MTDILow at power-up10 kOhm Generic ResistorGPIO12 -> resistor -> GND
GPIO5Default state is pull-up / 110 kOhm Generic ResistorGPIO5 -> resistor -> 3V3
GPIO15 / MTDODefault state is pull-up / 110 kOhm Generic ResistorGPIO15 -> resistor -> 3V3

Datasheet basis

PinDatasheet statement
GPIO12 / MTDIMust be kept low during power-up; MTDI=0 keeps VDD_SDIO at 3.3 V
GPIO5Strapping pin with internal weak pull-up
GPIO15 / MTDOStrapping pin with internal weak pull-up
Why 10 kOhm
  • The datasheet says strap states can be overridden with external pull-up/pull-down resistances.
  • Internal pulls are typically 45 kOhm.
  • 10 kOhm is a common strong-enough external value to dominate the internal weak pull and improve noise immunity.

    Unique Brown Tricorder thumbnail
    Cow health-monitoring wearable PCB for a cow-mounted device. Rear strap electronics target 20-25 g and front sensing assembly target about 15 g. Uses an ESP32-based sensor controller, 200 mAh LiPo battery, battery charging circuitry, and interfaces for ammonia, methane, IR temperature, and saliva sensing. Design must tolerate moisture, mucus, debris, vibration, fur contact, and tongue/lick exposure while remaining compact and lightweight for wearable use.
