Product Information

Product Description

Designed for use in Internet of Things (IoT), mobile, and wearable electronics applications, the wireless ESP8266EX chip is a highly integrated, low-power Wi-Fi solution. It provides extremely low-power consumption and occupies minimal PCB area. Clock speed can reach a maximum of 160 MHz.

The minimal wake up time feature can be utilized by mobile device SOCs. This allows them to remain in low-power standby mode until Wi-Fi is needed.

Highly integrated, this compact chip has

  • 32-bit Tensilica processor
  • Standard digital peripheral interfaces
  • antenna switches
  • RF balun
  • Power amplifier
  • Low noise amplifier
  • Power management modules


With the 32-bit low power micro-controller (MCU) and 17 GPIO pins, this EXP8266  Wi-Fi chip is often  integrated with external sensors and other application-specific devices. It can host an application or offload 802.11 Wi-Fi networking functions from another application processor.

Examples of major applications include:

  • Home automation
  • Smart lights and plugs
  • Home appliances
  • IP cameras
  • Baby monitors
  • Sensor networks
  • Security ID tags
  • Mesh networks
  • Industrial wireless control
  • Wearable electronics
  • Wi-Fi location-aware devices
  • Wi-Fi position system beacons

Features

  • 802.11 b/g/n
  • Wide operating temperature range
  • Integrated low power 32-bit MCU
  • Integrated 10-bit ADC
  • Integrated TCP/IP protocol stack
  • Integrated TR switch, balun, LNA, power amplifier and matching network
  • Integrated PLL, regulators and power management units
  • WiFi 2.4 GHz supports security protocols WPA/WPA2
  • Supports antenna diversity
  • Supports Station / SoftAP / Station+SoftAP operation modes
  • Supports Smart Link Function for both Android and iOS devices
  • FCC, CE, TELEC, WiFi Alliance and SRRC certified
