  • Page 4 1. Overview Overview ESP8266 is the most integrated System-on-a-Chip (SoC) with only 7 external components. In order to achieve the optimum performance of the chip, customers only need to tune the frequency offset and match the antenna impedance according to the crystal oscillator and antenna.
  • Page 5 - Decrease capacitance if the frequency offset is negative, for example -50 ppm. - Generally, the capacitances should be matched and adjusted at the same time. 2.
