The IO MUX allows multiple input/output signals to be connected to a single input/output pin. Each IO pin of ESP32-C6 can be connected to one of the three signals (IO MUX functions, i.e. F0-F2), as listed in T able 2-4 QFN40 IO MUX Pin Functions and Table 2-5 QFN32 IO MUX Pin Functions .

Among the three sets of signals:

• Some are routed via the GPIO Matrix ( GPIO0, GPIO1, etc. ), which incorporates internal signal routing circuitry for mapping signals programmatically. It gives the pin access to almost any peripheral signals. However, the flexibility of programmatic mapping comes at a cost as it might affect the latency of routed signals. For details about connecting to peripheral signals via GPIO Matrix, see ESP32-C6 Technical Reference Manual > Chapter IO MUX and GPIO Matrix .
• Some are directly routed from certain peripherals ( U0TXD, MTCK, etc. ), including UART0/1, JTAG, SPI0/1, SPI2, and SDIO - see T able 2-3 Peripheral Signals Routed via IO MUX .

Table 2-3. Peripheral Signals Routed via IO MUX

Table 2-4 QFN40 IO MUX Pin Functions and Table 2-5 QFN32 IO MUX Pin Functions show the IO MUX functions of IO pins.

Stresses above those listed in T able 5-1 Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and normal operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in Section 5.2 Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
