ESP-12F Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The ESP-12F series modules from Ai-Thinker are low-power UART-WiFi modules designed for rapid prototyping and secondary development. Based on Espressif's ESP8266EX, these modules facilitate cloud-connected applications and mobile remote control.

 

Key features include support for 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi standards with WPA/WPA2 security. The module integrates a Tensilica L106 ultra-low-power 32-bit micro MCU, capable of 80 MHz or 160 MHz clock speeds with RTOS support. It also includes a 10-bit high-precision ADC and a built-in TCP/IP protocol stack.

 

Connectivity options are extensive, featuring HSPI, UART, I2C, I2S, IR Remote Control, PWM, and GPIO. The module boasts low power consumption, with a deep sleep standby current of 20 uA and a shutdown current of less than 5 uA. Wake-up, connection, and data packet transmission can occur within 2 ms.

 

The ESP-12F supports various operating modes, including STA, AP, and STA+AP, along with Smart Config for easy setup with Android and iOS devices. Firmware can be upgraded locally via AT commands or through cloud OTA updates.
