Minimum Quantity Required: 10 chips.

The ESP8285 is a compact, low-power, Wi-Fi SoC solution designed for the Internet of Things (IoT). This wireless chip follows the 802.11 b/g/n/e/I WLAN MAC protocol along with the latest Wi-Fi P2P and TCP/IP. The chip can also be applied to a micro-controller and a Wi-Fi adaptor through SPI/SDIP or I2C/UART interfaces.

With the Tensilica’s L106 Diamond series 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) the chip is often integrated with external sensors and other application-specific devices through the 17 GPIOs. It offers reliable performance as a standalone application or as the slave to a host MCU.

The Espressif Systems’ Connectivity Platform (ESCP) enables the following features:

• Fast switch between sleep and wake-up mode
• Adaptive radio biasing
• Advanced signal processing
• Spur cancellation
• Radio co-existence mechanisms for common interference mitigation

Examples of major applications include:

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