ESP-12F, WiFi Module Based on ESP8266, Built-in 32Mbit Flash, SMD22 Package

Overview

The ESP-12F is a WiFi module based on ESP8266, with built-in 32Mbit Flash, in the small SMD22 package. There're also onboard PCB antenna and metal shield. In short, it's a small form factor and fairly high cost effective WiFi module.

With the pre-flashed AT firmware, you can control the module through UART AT commands easily. The module integrates MCU inside, supports other developments like Lua/Micropython/Arduino to achieve flexible and fast prototyping, make it easy to integrate the module into IoT applications.

Features

  • 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi SOC
  • Integrated Tensilica L106 ultra-low-power 32-bit micro MCU, run at 80 MHz and 160 MHz frequency, supports RTOS
  • Built-in 1-ch 10 bit high precision ADC
  • Supports UART/GPIO/ADC/PWM/I2C
  • SMD22 package
  • Integrated Wi-Fi MAC/ BB/RF/PA/LNA
  • Supports multi sleep modes, deep sleep current as low as 20uA
  • UART baudrate up to 4Mbps
  • Embedded Lwip protocol stack
  • Supports STA/AP/STA+AP operation mode
  • Supports Smart Config (APP) / AirKiss (WeChat), one key networking
  • Supports UART local firmware upgrade and/or remote firmware upgrade (FOTA)
  • AT commands for getting started fast
  • Supports secondary development, integrated Windows / Linux environment

Applications
