PIN description
I2C
• I2C interface with ESP8266 is a way of
connecting devices that uses I2C protocol to
ESP8266 module.
• D1 and D2 – I2C pins
• They can be connected to SCL and SDA pins of
I2C devices
• I2C devices like LCD screens requires I/O
expander chip to work with ESP8266 as the
module has limited input output pins.
What is I2C Protocol?
• Two-wire protocol with variable speed (typically
up to 400 kHz, high speed modes up to 5 MHz).
• It provides an inexpensive bus for connecting
many types of devices with infrequent or low
bandwidth communications needs.
• SDA (Serial Data) is the line for sending and
receiving data between master and slave devices.
• SCL carries the clock signal for synchronization.
• SDA and SCL are connected to all devices on the
I2C bus.
I2S
• Synchronous serial communication protocol for
exchanging digital audio data between sound
processing devices such as microcontrollers, audio
codes or DSP.
• It uses pulse code modulation (PCM).
• I2S uses a master-slave architecture, where one
device acts as the master and controls the
communication, while the other devices act as
slaves and follow the master’s instructions. The
master device generates the clock signals and
initiates the data transfer, while the slave devices
synchronize their operations with the master’s
clock and respond to the data transfer requests.
Features of I2S
• Supports high-quality digital audio
transmission
• Simple and efficient interface
• Widely adopted in the audio industry
• Flexible configuration options
• Low power consumption
SPI Vs i2S
• SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) is a general-purpose
serial interface that can be used for transmitting audio
data, but it has some differences compared to I2S.
• SPI is a full-duplex interface, allowing simultaneous
bidirectional communication, while I2S is a simplex
interface, supporting unidirectional data transmission.
• SPI requires four lines (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS), while
I2S typically uses three lines (SCK, WS, SD).
• SPI does not have a standardized format for audio data,
requiring custom protocols, while I2S has a
standardized data format specifically designed for
audio.
SPI contd..
• Serial Clock (SCK or BCLK): This line carries
the clock signal generated by the master
device, which synchronizes the data
transmission between the devices.
• MOSI-Master Out Slave In
• MISO- Master In Slave Out
writing Data into SD card
UART (Universal Asynchronous
Reception and Transmission)
• In ESP8266, there are two UART peripherals
available – UART0 and UART1.
• UART0 has lines on pins GPIO1 (UART0 TX)
and GPIO3 (UART0 RX). UART1 has lines on
pins GPIO2 (UART1 TX) and GPIO8 (UART1
RX).
• The GPIO8 is internally connected to the flash
chip; only the UART1 is the transmitter.

CPU
• 32 BIT RISC processor- low power
consumption and maximum clock speed of
160MHz.
• Programmable RAM / ROM interfaces, which
can be connected with memory controller and
can also be used to visit flash.
• Data RAM which can be connected with
memory controller.
Memory
• SRAM and ROM
• RAM size < 50 kB
• Heap + data section = around 50 kB
• No programmable ROM
WIFI
• Uses TCP /IP
There are three modes of WiFi Operation in the ESP8266 WiFi Module. They are:
Station Mode (STA)
• In Station Mode (STA), the ESP8266 WiFi Module will be connected to a WiFi
Network that is already setup by an Access Point, like a WiFi Router.
Soft Access Point (AP)
• The second mode of operation is Access Point (AP) Mode. In this mode, the
ESP8266 Module acts as an access point and provide WiFi Network to other
stations (like mobile or laptop).
• Usually, an access point can provide internet through a wired network to its
stations but as there is no wired interface, this Access Point mode is called Soft
Access Point.
• The ESP Module is first setup as Soft AP mode before configuring it in Station
Mode. This is helpful when the username (SSID) and password of the WiFi network
is unknown.
Soft AP + Station
• In the third mode, the ESP8266 WiFi Module is configured to act in both Station
Mode and Soft AP Mode.
