Overview

Introduction

E22-900M33S is independently developed based on the new generation LoRa TM radio frequency chip SX1262 produced by Semtech in the United States . It has a maximum power of 2 W and is suitable for 868 / 915MHz patch-type LoRa TM wireless modules . It uses an industrial-grade high-precision 32MHz crystal oscillator.

Since the imported SX1262 is used as the core of the module, a power amplifier ( PA) and a low noise amplifier (LNA) are built-in on the original basis , so that the maximum transmit power reaches 2 W and the receiving sensitivity is further improved. In the overall communication The stability is greatly improved compared to products without power amplifier and low noise amplifier. Compared with the previous generation LoRa TM transceiver, the anti- interference performance and communication distance have been improved, further widening the gap with products with FSK and GFSK modulation methods . This product can cover an ultra-wide applicable frequency range of 850 to 930 MHz and is backward compatible with SX1278 and SX1276. Since this module is a pure radio frequency transceiver module, it needs to use an MCU driver or a dedicated SPI debugging tool.

Notes For Hardware And Software

Hardware design

  • It is recommended to use a DC regulated power supply to power the module. The power supply ripple coefficient should be as small as possible, and the module must be reliably grounded;
  • Please pay attention to the correct connection of the positive and negative poles of the power supply. Reverse connection may cause permanent damage to the module;
  • Please check the power supply to ensure that it is within the recommended power supply voltage. If it exceeds the maximum value, it will cause permanent damage to the module;
  • Please check the stability of the power supply. The voltage cannot fluctuate greatly and frequently;
  • When designing the power supply circuit for the module, it is often recommended to reserve more than 30% margin, so that the whole machine can work stably for a long time;
  • The module should be kept as far away as possible from power supplies, transformers, high-frequency wiring and other parts with high electromagnetic interference;
  • High-frequency digital traces, high-frequency analog traces, and power traces must be avoided under the module. If it is absolutely necessary to pass under the module, assuming that the module is welded on the Top Layer, lay copper ground on the Top Layer of the module contact part (all copper and well grounded), it must be close to the digital part of the module and routed on the Bottom Layer ;
  • Assuming that the module is welded or placed on the Top Layer, it is also wrong to route traces randomly on the Bottom Layer or other layers, which will affect the module’s spurious and receiving sensitivity to varying degrees ;
  • Assuming that there are devices with large electromagnetic interference around the module, which will also greatly affect the performance of the module, it is recommended to stay away from the module according to the intensity of the interference. If the situation allows, appropriate isolation and shielding can be done;
  • Assuming that there are traces with large electromagnetic interference around the module (high-frequency digital, high-frequency analog, power traces), it will also greatly affect the performance of the module. It is recommended to stay away from the module according to the intensity of the interference. If the situation allows, you can make appropriate adjustments. isolation and shielding;
  • If the communication line uses 5V level, a 1k-5.1k resistor must be connected in series (not recommended, there is still a risk of damage) ;
  • Try to stay away from some TTL protocols whose physical layer is also 2.4GHz, such as USB3.0;
  • The antenna installation structure has a great impact on module performance. Make sure the antenna is exposed, preferably vertically upward. When the module is installed inside the case, you can use a high-quality antenna extension cable to extend the antenna to the outside of the case;
  • The antenna must not be installed inside a metal shell, as this will greatly reduce the transmission distance.
  • to add a 200R protection resistor to the RXD/TXD of the external MCU.

  • This module is SX1268/SX1262+PA+LNA , and its driving method is completely the same as SX1268/SX1262 . Users can operate it according to the SX1268/SX1262 chip manual;It should be noted that the TX_EN of PA_EN and RF_switch are connected together, and the RX_EN of LNA_EN and RF_switch are connected together, so users only need to control TX_EN when sending, and use TX_EN when receiving.
  • DIO1 and DIO2 are general-purpose IO ports that can be configured into a variety of functions; DIO2 can be connected to TXEN, not connected to the IO port of the MCU, and is used to control radio frequency switch emission. For details, see the SX1262 manual. If not used , it can be left floating;RX_EN and TX_EN cannot be high at the same time. The level states must be opposite.
  • is used internally to power the 32MHz TCXO crystal oscillator ( DIO3 is configured to output 1.8V ) .

Frequently Asked Questions

Transmission distance is not ideal

  • When there are straight-line communication obstacles, the communication distance will be correspondingly attenuated ;
  • Temperature, humidity, and co-channel interference will cause the communication packet loss rate to increase ;
  • The ground absorbs and reflects radio waves, and the test effect is poor when close to the ground ;
  • Seawater has a strong ability to absorb radio waves, so the seaside test results are poor ;
  • If there are metal objects near the antenna, or if it is placed in a metal case, the signal attenuation will be very serious ;
  • The power register setting is wrong and the air rate is set too high (the higher the air rate, the closer the distance) ;
  • The low voltage of the power supply at room temperature is lower than the recommended value. The lower the voltage, the smaller the power generated ;
  • There is a poor match between the antenna and the module or there is a problem with the quality of the antenna itself.

Modules are easily damaged

  • Please check the power supply to ensure that it is within the recommended power supply voltage. If it exceeds the maximum value, it will cause permanent damage to the module ;
  • Please check the stability of the power supply. The voltage cannot fluctuate greatly and frequently ;
  • Please ensure anti-static operation during installation and use, as high-frequency devices are sensitive to static electricity ;
  • Please ensure that the humidity during installation and use should not be too high, as some components are humidity-sensitive devices ;
  • If there are no special needs, it is not recommended to use it at too high or too low temperature.

Bit error rate too high

  • If there is co-channel signal interference nearby, stay away from the interference source or modify the frequency or channel to avoid interference;
  • The clock waveform on SPI is not standard . Check whether there is interference on the SPI line . The SPI bus line should not be too long;
  • An unsatisfactory power supply may also cause garbled code, so be sure to ensure the reliability of the power supply;
  • Poor quality or too long extension cords and feeders can also cause a high bit error rate.
