ESP32 Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Chip

 

ESP32 is a 2.4 GHz Bluetooth and Wi-Fi combination chip designed to achieve the best power and RF performance. ESP32 is designed with TSMC ultra-low-power 40nm technology that exhibits robustness, versatility, and reliability in a wide variety of applications and power scenarios. The ESP 32 series include many chips designated for various purposes. ESP32 is designed for wearable electronics and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. The low-duty cycle is used to minimize the amount of energy that the chip expends. The power amplifier's output is also adjustable, contributing to an optimal trade-off between communication range, data rate, and power consumption.ESP32has around twenty external components. It is ahighly-integrated solution for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,and IoT applications.

ESP32contains one or two low-power Xtensa® 32-bit LX6 microprocessor(s). ESP32's internal memory includes 448 KB of ROM for and 520 KB of on-chip SRAM.ESP32supports various external QSPI flash and SRAM chips. It accesses the SRAM and external QSPI flash through high-speed caches.There are four general-purpose timers on the chip. These general-purpose timers are based on 16-bit prescales and 64-bit auto-reloadcapable up/downtimers. ESP32chip has three watchdog timers that recover from an unforeseen fault causing the application program to abandon its typical sequence.ESP32 has an internal 8 MHz oscillator.The clock generator in ESP32produces quadrature clock signals of 2.4 GHz for both the receiver and the transmitter.ESP32implements a TCP/IP and full 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi MAC protocol.The ESP32 chip integrates a Bluetooth link controller and Bluetooth baseband, which carry out the baseband protocols and other low-level link routines



ESP32has different power modes because of the use of advanced power management technologies. These power modes are active mode, Modem sleep mode, Light sleep mode, Deep-sleep mode, Hibernation mode:

ESP32is a low-cost, low-power system on a chip microcontroller with integrated Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth. The advantages of ESP32allow it to perform as a complete standalone system or as a slave device to a host MCU. The use of ESP32 also reduces communication stack overhead on the central application processor. ESP32can interface with other systems to provide Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functionality through its SPI / SDIO or I2C / UART interfaces. One of the things that promote the widespread usage of ESP32is that it can be programmed in different programming environments such as Arduino IDE, Java script, Micropython, ExpressifIDF, LUA. Compared with previous models, ESP32 chips cost around 5$-6$ more; however, it is a more advanced solution that has boosted Wi-Fi speed and added Bluetooth 4.2 with low energy support.

ESP32has a large number of applications such as Speech Recognition, Image Recognition, Home Automation ( Smart plugs, Light control, Smart door locks), Industrial Automation (wireless control, Industrial robotics), Health Care Applications (Health monitoring, Baby monitors), Wearable Electronics (Smartwatches, Smart bracelets).

TMS320F28034PNT Microcontrollers

Image
A microcontroller is an integrated circuit device denoted by μC or uC. It uses a microprocessor unit (MPU), memory, and peripheral to control other portions of an electronic system. These devices are optimized for applications that require both processing functionality and agile. It is a small, low-cost, and self-contained computer-on-a-chip used as an embedded system. A few microcontrollers may utilize four-bit expressions and work at clock rate frequencies, which usually include an eight or 16-bit microprocessor. Microcontrollers usually must have low-power requirements since many devices they control are battery-operated. The dominant part of microcontrollers being used nowadays is implanted in other apparatus. The 2803x (C28x) family is a member of the TMS320C2000™ microcontroller (MCU) platform. The C28x-based controllers have the same 32-bit fixed-point architecture as existing C28x MCUs. It is a very efficient C/C++ engine, enabling users to develop their system control soft...

Types of Transmission Line

Image
  Transmission line is a cable that transfer Electromagnetic wave from source to destination. Conventional electrical cables are adequate for carrying low frequency alternating current (AC), such as mains electricity, which reverses direction 100 to 120 times per second, and audio transmissions.  however, Electrical cables cannot be utilized to carry radio wave flux over around 30 kHz since the energy starts to radiate off the cable as radio signals, resulting in power dissipation. Radio frequency currents also generally reflect from cable irregularities like connections and joints and flow back across the cable towards to source. Typically transmission lines are distinguished by having uniform cross sectional dimensions over entire length, resulting in a standard impedance, known as the characteristic impedance, to minimize reflections. Parallel lines (ladder lines, twisted pairs), coaxial cable, and planar transmission lines such as stripline and microstrip are exampl...
