======ESP32 General Information======
{{:en:iot-open:czapka_b.png?50| General audience classification icon }}{{:en:iot-open:czapka_e.png?50| General audience classification icon }}\\
ESP32 is a low-cost, low-power system on a chip (SoC) series microcontroller with WiFi & dual-mode Bluetooth capabilities ((https://www.espressif.com)). ESP32 SoC is highly integrated with built-in antenna switches, power amplifiers, low-noise receive amplifiers, filters, and power management modules. Inside all families of ESP32, there is a single-core or dual-core Tensilica Xtensa LX6 microprocessor with a clock rate of up to 240 MHz. ESP32 is designed for mobile, wearable electronics, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. It features all the state-of-the-art characteristics of low-power chips, including fine-grained clock gating, multiple power modes, and dynamic power scaling.
For now, the ESP32 family includes the following chips in mass production:
* ESP32-D0WD-V3 (figure {{ref>esp32_d0wdv3}}) , \\
* ESP32-U4WDH (figure {{ref>esp32_u4wdh}}), \\
* ESP32-PICO-D4 - SiP (system in package) (figure {{ref>esp32_pico_d4}}) -- additionally contains crystal oscillator, 4MB flash memory, filter capacitors and RF matching links, \\
* ESP32-PICO-V3 - SiP (system in package ) -- new core (ECO V3)
* ESP32-PICO-V3-02 - SiP (figure {{ref>esp32_picov302}} -- package size is slightly thicker - 7 × 7 × 1.11 (mm), the chip integrates 8 MB flash and 2 MB PSRAM with different pin layout, \\
and older chips, not for new designs:
* ESP32-D0WDQ6 (figure {{ref>esp32_d0wdq6}}), \\

==ESP32 Modules==
The company also produces ready-made modules using the processors above ((https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/v4.3/esp32/hw-reference/modules-and-boards.html)). These modules combine ESP32 microcontroller and additional components mounted on PCB with EM shield (table {{ref>esp32_modules}}):

The ESP32-PICO-D4((https://www.espressif.com/sites/default/files/documentation/esp32-pico-d4_datasheet_en.pdf)) is a System-in-Package (SiP) module that is based on ESP32. ESP32-PICO-D4 integrates all peripheral components in one package, including a crystal oscillator, flash, filter capacitors and RF matching links. The module is as small as 7.0 mm × 7.0 mm × 0.94 mm, thus requiring minimal PCB area. The main characteristics that distinguish it from the ESP32 family are:
* Integrated crystal oscillator, filter capacitors and RF matching circuit, \\
* Internal built-in memory 4 MB SPI flash, \\
* chip size 7.0 mm × 7.0 mm × 0.94 mm. \\
**ESP32-PICO-V3**\\

**ESP32-PICO Modules**\\
The company also produces ready-made modules using the ESP32-PICO SOCs ((https://www.espressif.com/sites/default/files/documentation/esp32-pico-mini-02_datasheet_en.pdf))
((https://www.espressif.com/sites/default/files/documentation/esp32-pico-v3-zero_datasheet_en.pdf)). These modules combine ESP32 microcontroller and additional components mounted on PCB with EM shield (table {{ref>esp32pico_modules}}).
==ESP32 Development Kits==
To accelerate the design of circuits, developers can use specially prepared sets with ESP32, which are ready to use. The original Espressif best-known small development boards are:

**General Purpose Input-Output (GPIO) Connector**\\
Each ESP32 is equipped with a standard 38/40-pis male connector containing universal GPIO ports, VCC 3.3/5 V, GND, CLK, I2C/SPI bus pins, which developers can use to connect their external sensors, switches and other controlled devices to the ESP32 board and then program their behaviour within the code loaded to the board.
* ESP32-DevkitC v2 pins (figure {{ref>esp32_devkitpins}}).

In addition to modules for developers, small microcomputers with ESP processors are also produced. They are very convenient to use. They often include one or two buttons, an RGB LED or LCD, and everything enclosed in a case and ready for use in small projects. One of them is the ESP-PICO-D4 based M5 Atom-lite (figure {{ref>esp32_atomlite}}):
