1. Preambles
ESP-13 WiFi module is developed by Ai-Thinker Co.,Ltd, core processor ESP8266 in smaller
sizes of the module encapsulates Tensilica L106 integrates industry-leading ultra low power 32-bit
MCU micro, with the 16-bit short mode, clock speed support 80 MHz, 160 MHz, supports the
RTOS, integrated Wi-Fi MAC/BB/RF/PA/LNA, on-board antennas.
The module supports standard IEEE802.11 b/g/n agreement, complete TCP/IP protocol stack.
Users can use the add modules to an existing device networking, or building a separate network
controller.
ESP8266 is high integration wireless SOCs, designed for space and power constrained mobile
platform designers. It provides unsurpassed ability to embed Wi-Fi capabilities within other
systems, or to function as a standalone
application, with the lowest cost, and minimal space requirement.

ESP8266EX offers a complete and self-contained Wi-Fi networking solution; it can be used to
host the application or to offload Wi-Fi networking functions from another application processor.
When ESP8266EX hosts the application, it boots up directly from an external flash. In has
integrated cache to improve the performance of the system in such applications.
Alternately, serving as a Wi-Fi adapter, wireless internet access can be added to any micro
controllerbased design with simple connectivity (SPI/SDIO or I2C/UART interface).
ESP8266EX is among the most integrated WiFi chip in the industry; it integrates the antenna
switches, RF balun, power amplifier, low noise receive amplifier, filters, power management
modules, it requires minimal external circuitry, and the entire solution, including front-end
module, is designed to occupy minimal PCB area.
ESP8266EX also integrates an enhanced version of Tensilica’s L106 Diamond series 32-bit
processor, with on-chip SRAM, besides the Wi-Fi functionalities. ESP8266EX is often integrated
with external sensors and other application specific devices through its GPIOs; codes for such
applications are provided in examples in the SDK.
