Electronics Semiconductors Wireless industrial industrial Microcontroller microcontroller WiFi wireless wirelessESPRESSIF ESP8266 bite-sized WiFi 80MHz microcontroller is capable of functioning consistently in industrial environments, due to its wide operating temperature range. With highly-integrated on-chip features and minimal external discrete component count, the chip offers reliability, compactness and robustness. Device is integrated with a 32-bit Tensilica processor, standard digital peripheral interfaces, antenna switches, RF balun, power amplifier, low noise receive amplifier, filters and power management modules. Engineered for mobile devices, wearable electronics and IoT applications, device achieves low power consumption with a combination of several proprietary technologies. The power-saving architecture features three modes of operation: active mode, sleep mode and deep sleep mode.
