1. Overview
1.1 Introduction
E32-433T30D is a wireless serial port module
(UART) based on SEMTECH's SX1278 RF chip. It has
multiple transmission modes, working in the
410MHz~441MHz, (default 433MHz), LoRa spread
spectrum technology,
SX1278 features LoRa™, which will bring longer
communication distance, and has the advantages of
concentrated power density, meanwhile it has a very
strong confidentiality. E32-433T30D is in stable bulk production and are widely applied in utility meters, IoT renovation,
smart home, etc. The modules feature data encryption and compression. The data transmitted in air features randomness.
air Data Rate (Default 2.4kps). The encryption-decryption algorithm makes data interception meaningless. The data
compression enables shorter transmitting time and lower rate of being interfered, which increased the reliability and
transmitting efficiency.

Automotive industry applications.
4 Connect to MCU
2 For some MCU works at 5VDC, it may need to add 4-10K pull-up resistor for the TXD & AUX pin.
5 Function description
5.5 Reset
When the module is powered, AUX outputs low level immediately, conducts hardware self-check and sets the
operating mode based on user’s parameters. During the process, the AUX remains low level. After the process
completed, the AUX outputs high level and starts to work as per the operating mode combined by M1 and M0.
Therefore, users need to wait the AUX rising edge as the start of module’s normal work.
Buffer (empty): the internal 512 bytes data in the buffer are written to the RFIC (Auto sub-packaging).
When AUX=1, the user can input data less than 512 bytes continuously without overflow. Buffer (not empty): when
AUX=0, the internal 512 bytes data in the buffer have not been written to the RFIC completely. If the user starts to
transmit data at this circumstance, it may cause overtime when the module is waiting for the user data, or
transmitting wireless sub package.
When AUX = 1, it does not mean that all the UART data of the module have been transmitted already, perhaps the
last packet of data is still in transmission.
No. Description
For function 1 & function 2 mentioned above, the priority should be given to the one with low level output, which means if
1 it meets each of any low level output condition, AUX outputs low level, if none of the low level condition is met, AUX
outputs high level.
When AUX outputs low level, it means the module is busy & cannot conduct operating mode checking. Within 1ms since
2
AUX outputs high level, the mode switch will be completed.
After switching to new operating mode, it will not work in the new mode immediately until AUX rising edge lasts for 2ms .
3
If AUX stays on the high level, the operating mode switch can be affected immediately.
When the user switches to other operating modes from mode 3 (sleep mode) or it’s still in reset process, the module will
4
reset user parameters, during which AUX outputs low level.
6 Operating mode
There are four operating modes, which are set by M1 and M0, the details are as follows:
3 Sleep 1 1 sleep mode, receiving parameter setting command is more details on parameter
available. specification.
The module can receive the user data via serial port, and transmit wireless data package of 58 bytes. When the data
inputted by user is up to 58 byte, the module will start wireless transmission. During which the user can input data
continuously for transmission.
When the required transmission bytes are less than 58 bytes, the module will wait 3-byte time and treat it as data
termination unless continuous data inputted by user. Then the module will transmit all the data through wireless
Transmitting channel.
When the module receives the first data packet from user, the AUX outputs low level.
After all the data are transmitted into RF chip and transmission start , AUX outputs high level.
At this time, it means that the last wireless data package transmission is started, which enables the user to input
another 512 bytes continuously. The data package transmitted from the module working in mode 0 can only be
received by the module working in mode 0 or 1.
The wireless receiving function of the module is on, the data packet transmitted from the module working in mode 0
& mode 1 can be received.
Receiving After the data packet is received, the AUX outputs low level, 5ms later the module starts to transmit wireless data
through serial port TXD pin.
After all the wireless data have been transmitted via serial port, the AUX outputs high level.
The condition of data packet transmission & AUX function is the same as mode 0. The only difference is that the
module will add preamble code before each data packet automatically. The preamble code length depends on the
Transmitting wake-up time set in the user parameters. The purpose of the preamble code is waking up the receiving module
works in mode 2. Therefore, the data package transmitted from mode 1 can be received by mode 0, mode1 and
mode 2.
UART is closed, the module cannot receive any serial port data from outside MCU.
Transmitting
Hence the function of wireless transmission is not available for the module working in this mode.
Transmitting N/A
Receiving N/A
Parameter This mode can be used for parameter setting. It uses serial port 9600 & 8N1 to set module working parameters
setting through specific instruction format. (pls refer to parameters setting for details)
When the mode changes from stand-by mode to others, the module will reset its parameters, during which the AUX
Notes keeps low level and then outputs high level after reset completed. It is recommended to check the AUX rising edge
for user.

8. Hardware design
It is recommended to use a DC stabilized power supply. The power supply ripple factor 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. Reverse
connection may cause permanent damage to the module;
Please check the power supply to ensure it is within the recommended voltage otherwise when it exceeds the
maximum value the module will be permanently damaged;
Please check the stability of the power supply, the voltage can not be fluctuated frequently;
When designing the power supply circuit for the module, it is often recommended to reserve more than 30% of the
9 FAQ
Please check the power supply source, ensure it is 3.3V~5.2V, voltage higher than 5.2V will damage the module.
Please check the stability of power source, the voltage cannot fluctuate too much.
Please make sure antistatic measure are taken when installing and using, high frequency devices have electrostatic
susceptibility.
Please ensure the humidity is within limited range, some parts are sensitive to humidity.
Please avoid using modules under too high or too low temperature.
There are co-channel signal interference nearby, please be away from interference sources or modify frequency and
channel to avoid interference;
Poor power supply may cause messy code. Make sure that the power supply is reliable.
The extension line and feeder quality are poor or too long, so the bit error rate is high;
10 Production guidance
This type is DIP module, when the welder welds the module, he must be welding according to the anti-static
regulation. This product is allergic to static, randomly welding the module will have the chance of damaging it
permanently.
