We are kicking off "EYE on NPI" with the Espressif ESP32-S2 SoC (video). What is EYE on NPI? The acronym NPI stands for New Product Introduction and sometimes you'll also see NPD (New Product Development). EYE on NPI will showcase, spotlight, and discuss the latest new products and announcements from the entire component industry. EYE on NPI will help engineers go from prototype to market and get important information on pricing and availability. The more you know, the more you can reduce time-to-market, the more you increase the quality of the product(s) and reduce production costs.

Adafruit releases dozens of new products per month, we live, eat, and breath data sheets, we wanted to share our NPI process with everyone, how we get to market quickly, and what the latest NPIs are out there.

Espressif ESP32-S2 SoC modules and development boards were announced in 2019 and we're getting closer to having these in hand. Last week Espressif announced the beginning of mass production for the whole series of ESP32-S2 SoCs, modules and development boards, which will make their advantages readily available to the entire IoT market.

ESP32-S2 is a truly secure, highly integrated, low-power, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Microcontroller SoC supporting Wi-Fi HT40 and having 43 GPIOs. Based on an Xtensa® single-core 32-bit LX7 processor, it can be clocked at up to 240 MHz.

With state-of-the-art power management and RF performance, IO capabilities and security features, ESP32-S2 is an ideal choice for a wide variety of IoT or connectivity-based applications, including smart home and wearables. With an integrated 240 MHz Xtensa® core, ESP32-S2 is sufficient for building the most demanding connected devices without requiring external MCUs.

By leveraging Espressif’s mature and production-ready software development framework (ESP-IDF), ESP32-S2 achieves a balance of performance and cost, thus bringing faster and more secure IoT connectivity solutions to the market.
