Espressif Systems ESP32 Wi-Fi® Dual-Mode BLUETOOTH® SoCs

Espressif Systems ESP32 Dual-Core Wi-Fi^® Dual-Mode BLUETOOTH^® SoCs (System-on-Chips) are a single 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combo chip designed for mobile, wearable electronics, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. Features include state-of-the-art low-power characteristics, including fine-grained clock gating, multiple power modes, and dynamic power scaling. A low-duty cycle is used to minimize the energy consumption of the ESP32 SoCs. An adjustable-output power amplifier enables an optimal trade-off among communication range, data rate, and power consumption.

The ESP32 SoCs are highly integrated, with built-in antenna switches, an RF balun, a power amplifier, a low-noise receive amplifier, filters, and power management modules. ESP32 uses CMOS for a single-chip fully integrated radio and baseband while also integrating advanced calibration circuitries that allow the solution to remove external circuit imperfections or adjust to changes in external conditions. These SOCs achieve high power and RF performance, showing robustness, versatility, and reliability in various applications and power scenarios. ESP32 adds functionality and versatility to IoT applications while requiring minimal Printed Circuit Board (PCB) space.
