ESPRESSIF SYSTEMS
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips, modules and development boards for IoT
About the manufacturer
Espressif Systems is a manufacturer of semiconductor devices and wireless communication modules intended primarily for Internet of Things applications. The company is known for the ESP8266 and ESP32 families, which combine a microcontroller, memory, extensive peripheral interfaces and radio communication.
The manufacturer’s portfolio includes SoCs, ready-made wireless modules and development boards. Depending on the family, the devices support Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Classic, Bluetooth Low Energy and other communication standards used in smart devices.
Espressif also develops its own software development environment, libraries, configuration tools and solutions supporting device security. This enables the design of both simple sensors and advanced controllers, communication gateways, operator panels and multimedia devices.
Ready-made modules can integrate the radio chip, Flash memory, optional PSRAM and an antenna. This reduces the number of external components and simplifies device design.
