The ESP32 is a low cost, low power microcontroller with integrated Wi-Fi & dual-mode Bluetooth, which employs a dual-core Tensilica Xtensa LX6 microprocessor. ESP32 is created and developed by Espressif Systems, a Shanghai-based Chinese company, and is manufactured by TSMC using their 40 nm process.[1] It is a successor to the ESP8266 microcontroller.

Features

Features of the ESP32 include the following:[2]

Chips

Identifier Description
ESP31B Pre-release SoC used for beta testing; no longer available.
ESP32-D0WDQ6 Initial release chip of the ESP32 series. Trailing attribute identifier code breakdown: Dual-core, 0 (zero) internal flash, Wi-Fi, Dual-mode Bluetooth, Quad Flat No-leads (QFN) package, 6 mm × 6 mm package body size (48-leads).[3]

Boards

Module boards

ESP32 module boards are small PCBs which directly contain the ESP32 SoC and are designed to be easily used by other circuit boards. Meandered Inverted-F antenna designs are used for the PCB trace antennas on the modules listed below.

Vendor Name Antenna Description
Espressif ESP-WROOM-03 PCB trace Limited distribution, pre-release module created by Espressif for beta testing purposes; this module used the ESP31B, the beta testing chip for the ESP32 series.[4][5][6][7][8] FCC Part 15.247 tested[9] (FCC ID: 2AC7Z-ESP32).
Espressif ESP-WROOM-32 PCB trace Flagship, public-release ESP32 module board created by Espressif.[10]
Ai-Thinker ESP-32S PCB trace ESP32 module based on the form factor of the Espressif ESP-WROOM-32 module.[11]The ESP-32S module replaced the unreleased ESP3212 module.

Development & other boards

Development & break-out boards extend wiring and may add functionality, often building upon ESP32 module boards and making them easier to use for development purposes (especially with breadboards).
