The ESP-12F WiFi module was developed by Ai-Thinker Technology. The core processor ESP8266
integrates the industry-leading Tensilica L106 ultra-low-power 32-bit micro MCU in a small
package with 16-bit Lite mode, clocked at Supports 80 MHz and 160 MHz, supports RTOS, and
integrates Wi-Fi MAC/BB/RF/PA/LNA.
The ESP-12F WiFi module supports the standard IEEE802.11 b/g/n protocol, a complete TCP/IP
protocol stack. Users can use this module to add networking capabilities to existing devices
or to build separate network controllers.
The ESP8266 is a high-performance wireless SOC that offers maximum utility at the lowest
cost and unlimited possibilities for embedding WiFi functionality into other systems.
The ESP8266 is a complete and self-contained WiFi network solution that can operate
independently or as a slave running on other hosts’ MCUs. The ESP8266 is capable of booting
directly from external flash memory when it is powered by an application and is the only
application processor in the device. The built-in cache helps improve system performance and
reduce memory requirements.
