External Resistor 12K; Layout Design; Standalone Esp8266Ex Module - Espressif ESP8266 Series System Description

1.4.6. External Resistor 12K

An external ground resistor should be connected o ERS12K pin (Pin31). The ground resistor
requires high accuracy when controlling the bias current. An accuracy of 12K ± 1% is
recommended.

1.5. Layout Design

Two layout designs are introduced in this section:

1.5.1. Standalone ESP8266EX Module
Layout Design
The printed circuit board has four layers:
•
The first layer is the TOP layer for signal lines and components.
•
The second layer is the GND layer, no signal lines are laid to ensure an entire plain GND
plane.
•
The third layer is the POWER layer where only power lines can be placed. It is acceptable to
place some signal lines under unavoidable circumstances.
