#2736: ESP8266/ESP01 Serial Wireless WIFI Transceiver Module (3.3V)

R56.02

ESP8266 is a highly integrated chip designed for the needs of a new connected world. It offers a complete and self-contained Wi-Fi networking solution, allowing it to either host the application or to offload all Wi-Fi networking functions from another application processor.

ESP8266 has powerful on-board processing and storage capabilities that allow it to be integrated with the sensors and other application specific devices through its GPIOs with minimal development up-front and minimal loading during runtime. Its high degree of on-chip integration allows for minimal external circuitry, and the entire solution, including front-end module, is designed to occupy minimal PCB area.

Features:

SDIO 2.0, SPI, UART
32-pin QFN package
Integrated RF switch, balun, 24dBm PA, DCXO, and PMU
Integrated RISC processor, on-chip memory and external memory interfaces
Integrated /baseband processors
Quality of Service management
I2S interface for high fidelity audio applications
On-chip low-dropout linear regulators for all internal supplies
Proprietary spurious-free clock generation architecture
Integrated WEP, TKIP, AES, and WAPI engines
Solutions

Supports APSD for optimal VoIP applications
Patented spurious noise cancellation algorithm for integration in SOC applications
Supports Bluetooth co-existence interface
Self-calibrated RF to ensure optimal performance under all operating conditions

No external RF components

Warning:
This module requires a 3.3 volt supply for VCC, and 3.3V logic level. It is not 5V tolant. Connecting to RX or TX on 5V FOR Arduino will destroy this module. You must use a logic level converter for 5V Arduino boards such as the Arduino Uno.
