1. Overview
1.1 Introduction
The E22-900M30S is based on the SX1262, a new generation of
LoRa™ RF chip manufactured by Semtech, USA. It is an ultra-small
and self-developed 868MHz. 915MHz SMD LoRa™ wireless module.
E E22 soomzo0s COM
Because it adopted the original SX1262 as main core, the PA and -
LNA is built-in also based on the previous one, which makes the

maximum transmission power to 1'W, at the same time, the receive v
sensitivity is also further improved. The overall communication stability
is greatly improved compared to the products without power amplifiers and low noise amplifiers. The anti-interference
performance and communication distance have been further improved compared to the previous generation LoRa™
transceiver, and far superior to the current FSK and GFSK modulation products. This products obtained FCC, CE and
RoHS certification already so users do not need to worry about the performance. Adopted industrial grade high precision
32MHz crystal, the product can cover an ultra-wide frequency range of 850~930MHz and is backward compatible with
SX1278 and SX1276.
Since the module is a RF transceiver module only, users need to use the MCU driver or use a dedicated SPI debug tool.
1.2 Features

Maximum transmission power of 1W, software multi-level adjustable ;
Support the global license-free ISM 868/915MHz band ;
Support air date rate of 0.018-62.5kbps in the LoRa™ mode ;
Support 300kpbs in the FSK mode;
Compatible with the transceiver of SX1278/SX1276;
With large capacity, FIFO supports 256Byte data cache;
New SF5 spreading factor to support dense networks;
Support 2.5V~5.5V power supply, more than 5.0V power supply can guarantee the best performance;
Industrial grade standard design, support -40 ~ 85 °C for working over a long time ;
IPEX and stamp hole are optional, which is convenient for secondary development and integration.

SN Brief Connection between Module and Single Chip Microcomputer
1 The I00. 101. 102, 103 in MCU means the 10 port of MCU.
DIOI1. DIO2 is the normal IO port, which can be configured to multiple function. The DIO2 can
2 connect with TXEN, but not with the IO port of MCU. It’s used to control RF switch, see more details
in SX1262 datasheet. Also It can be floated when not in use.
3 The DIO3 is powered by a 32MHz TCXO crystal.
4 Ensure the good grounding, large area of paving, small the power supply ripple, the filter capacitor
should be increased and as close as possible to the VCC and GND pins of module.
5 It is recommended to add 200R protection resistor to RXD/TXD of external MCU.
Note:
It is recommended to use DC stabilized power supply to supply power to the module. The power supply ripple
coefficient is as small as possible, and the module needs to be reliably grounded.
Please pay attention to the correct connection of the positive and negative poles of the power supply. If the reverse
connection is connected, the module may be permanently damaged.
Please check the power supply to ensure that between the recommended supply voltage, if exceeding the maximum,
the module will be permanently damaged.
Please check the stability of the power supply, the voltage can not be significantly frequent.
When designing the power supply circuit for the module, it is often recommended to reserve more than 30% of the
margin, and the whole machine is beneficial for long-term stable operation.
The module should be as far away as possible from the power supply, transformers, high-frequency wiring and other
parts with large electromagnetic interference.
High-frequency digital traces, high-frequency analog traces, and power traces must be avoided under the module. If
it is necessary to pass through the module, assume that the module is soldered to the Top Layer, and the copper is
spread on the Top Layer of the module contact part(All copper-covered and well grounded), and must be close to

ene Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co, Ltd. E22-900M30S User manual
the digital part of the module and routed in the Bottom Layer.
Assuming the module is soldered or placed in the Top Layer, it is also wrong to randomly route the Bottom Layer or
other layers, which will affect the module's spurs and receiving sensitivity to varying degrees.
Assume that there are traces with large electromagnetic interference around the module (high-frequency digital,
high-frequency analog, power trace), which will greatly affect the performance of the module. It is recommended to
stay away from the module according to the strength of the interference. If necessary, appropriate isolation and
shielding can be done;
If the communication line uses a 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 physical layers and also have a 2.4GHz TTL protocol, for example: USB3.0
The antenna mounting structure has a great influence on the performance of the module. It is necessary to ensure
that the antenna is exposed, preferably vertically upward. When the module is mounted inside the case, use a good
antenna extension cable to extend the antenna to the outside of the case.
The antenna must not be installed inside the metal case, which will greatly reduce the transmission distance.
Itis recommended to add a 200R protection resistor to the RXD/TXD of the external MCU.
4.2 Software Programming
S.
This module 1s SX1268/SX1262+PA+LNA. Its driving mode is exactly the same as SX1268/SX1262. Users can
operate according to SX1268/SX1262 chip datasheet.
DIO1 and DIO2 are general-purpose IO ports, which can be configured into multiple functions. DIO2 can be
connected to TXEN and not connected to the MCU's 10 port. It can be used to control the RF switch transmission.
If not used, you can hang it. For details, see the SX1262 manual.
DIO 3 is used to supply 32 MHz TCXO crystal oscillator.
FAQ
5.1 Communication range is too short
The communication distance will be affected when obstacle exists.
Data lose rate will be affected by temperature, humidity and co-channel interference.
The ground will absorb and reflect wireless radio wave, so the performance will be poor when testing near ground.
Sea water has great ability in absorbing wireless radio wave, so performance will be poor when testing near the sea.
The signal will be affected when the antenna is near metal object or put in a metal case.
Power register was set incorrectly, air data rate is set as too high (the higher the air data rate, the shorter the
distance).
When the power supply at room temperature is lower than the recommended low voltage, the lower the voltage is,
the lower the transmitting power is.
Due to antenna quality or poor matching between antenna and module.
5.2 Module is easy to damage
Please check the power supply and ensure it is within the recommended range. Voltage higher than the peak will
lead to a permanent damage to the module.
Please check the stability of power supply and ensure the voltage not to fluctuate too much.
