Product Information

Product Description

Authorized North America Distributor Stamp

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
