Function Description

MCU ESP8266EX built Tensilica L106 ultra-low power 32-bit micro MCU, with 16 compact mode, clocked at 80 MHz and supports 160 MHz, support for RTOS. Using the WiFi protocol stack is currently only 20% of MIPS, the other can be used for application development. MCU chip through the following interfaces and other parts of the work:

1. Connection storage controller, it can also be used to access external code memory RAM / ROM Interface (iBus)
2. Also connected to the data RAM memory controller interfaces (dBus)
3. AHB interface to access the registers
   

Memory Built-in SRAM and ROM - Auto body built ESP8266EX chip memory controller, comprising ROM and SRAM. MCU can access the storage controller iBus, dBus and AHB interface. These interfaces are accessible ROM or RAM unit, memory arbiter to determine the running order in the order of arrival. Based on the current Division I Demo SDK use SRAM, the user can remaining SRAM space: (next station mode, even after routed, heap + data area generally available around 36KB) RAM size <36kB not programmable ROM on ESP8266EX sheet Currently, users the program stored in the SPI Flash.

SPI Flash

• Current ESP8266EX chip SPI interface supports external Flash, a theoretical maximum support to 16 MB of SPI flash. At present, the module is 4MB of external SPI Flash.
• Recommendations Flash Capacity: 1 MB-16MB.
• Supported SPI mode: Standard SPI, Dual SPI, DIO SPI, QIO SPI, and Quad SPI. Note that you need to select the corresponding mode in the download tool when downloading firmware, or after downloading the program will not be run correctly.
  

Crystal

• Currently crystal 40M, 26M and 24M support, please pay attention to selecting the corresponding type of crystals in the download tool use. Crystal input and output of the applied determination of adjusted capacitors C1, C2 may be set to a fixed value, the value range in 6pF ~ 22pF, specific values ​​need to be adjusted after the system test. Based on the current market situation in the mainstream of crystal, general 26Mhz oscillator input and output of the added capacitors C1, C2 in less than 10pF; general 40MHz crystal input and output capacitance added 10pF <C1, C2 <22pF.
• Optional precision crystal itself need to ± 10PPM. Crystal operating temperature -20 ° C- 85 ° C.
• Crystal position as close to the chip XTAL Pins (traces not too long), while crystal alignment to be wrapped up well shielded land.
• Crystal input and output traces can not punch alignment, that can not cross-layer. Crystal input and output traces can not cross, cross-layer cross too.
• Crystal input and output bypass capacitors placed left and right side close to the chip, please, try not to go on line.
• 4 layers beneath the crystal can not take the high-frequency digital signal, the best situation is below the crystal does not go any signal lines, paved TOP crystal surface area the better. Crystal sensitive devices around the crystal can not have magnetic induction devices, such as large inductors.
