1. Overview
1.1 Introduction
The E22-400M22S is based on the SX1268, a new generation of LoRaTM
RF chip manufactured by Semtech, USA. It is an ultra-small and self-
developed 433MHz, 470MHz SMD LoRaTM wireless module.
Because it adopted the original SX1268 as main core, so the anti-
interference performance and communication distance have been further
improved compared to the previous generation LoRaTM transceiver.Due to its
new LoRaTM modulation technology, the anti-interference performance and
communication distance are far superior to the current FSK and GFSK
modulation products. This module is mainly for smart home, wireless meter reading, scientific and medical research, and
long distance wireless communication equipment. The RF performance and components selection are all in accordance
with industrial-grade standards and this products obtained FCC, CE and RoHS certification already and 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 410~493MHz 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.

4. Basic Operation
4.1 Hardware Design
l 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.
l 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.
l Please check the power supply to ensure that between the recommended supply voltage, if exceeding the maximum,
the module will be permanently damaged.
l Please check the stability of the power supply, the voltage can not be significantly frequent.
l 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.
l The module should be as far away as possible from the power supply, transformers, high-frequency wiring and other
parts with large electromagnetic interference.
l 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

6
spread on the Top Layer of the module contact part(All copper-covered and well grounded), and must be close to the
digital part of the module and routed in the Bottom Layer.
l 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.
l 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;
l 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).
l Try to stay away from some physical layers and also have a 2.4GHz TTL protocol, for example: USB3.0
l 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.
l The antenna must not be installed inside the metal case, which will greatly reduce the transmission distance.
l It is recommended to add a 200R protection resistor to the RXD/TXD of the external MCU.
4.2 Software Programming
l This module is SX1268/SX1262+PA+LNA. Its driving mode is exactly the same as SX1268/SX1262. Users can
operate according to SX1268/SX1262 chip datasheet.
l 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 IO port. It can be used to control the RF switch transmission. If
not used, you can hang it. For details, see the SX1262 manual.
l DIO 3 is used to supply 32 MHz TCXO crystal oscillator.

6. FAQ
6.1 Communication range is too short
l The communication distance will be affected when obstacle exists.
l Data lose rate will be affected by temperature, humidity and co-channel interference.
l The ground will absorb and reflect wireless radio wave, so the performance will be poor when testing near ground.
l Sea water has great ability in absorbing wireless radio wave, so performance will be poor when testing near the sea.
l The signal will be affected when the antenna is near metal object or put in a metal case.
l Power register was set incorrectly, air data rate is set as too high (the higher the air data rate, the shorter the distance).
l 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.
l Due to antenna quality or poor matching between antenna and module.

6.2 Module is easy to damage
l 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.
l Please check the stability of power supply and ensure the voltage not to fluctuate too much.
l Please make sure anti-static measures are taken when installing and using, high frequency devices have electrostatic
susceptibility.
l Please ensure the humidity is within limited range for some parts are sensitive to humidity.
l Please avoid using modules under too high or too low temperature.
6.3 High bit error rate
l There are co-channel signal interference nearby, keep away from interference sources or modify frequency, channel
to avoid interference.
l The clock waveform on the SPI is not standard. Check whether there is interference on the SPI line. The SPI bus line
should not be too long.
l Unsatisfactory power supply may also cause garbled characters, and ensure the reliability of the power supply.
l If the extension cable or feeder is of poor quality or too long, the bit error rate will be high.
