E32 Series User Manual

Brief Introduction

E32 series are UART wireless modules based on SX1276/SX1278 RF IC of SEMTECH with transparent
transmission and LoRa spread spectrum technology. The modules 3.3V TTL output. SX1276/SX1278 support
LoRaTM technology, The LoRaTM DSSS (direct sequence spread spectrum) technology features long range and
strong anti-interference as well as strong data confidentiality. SX1276/SX1278 are considered as a milestone
in terms of low speed data communication.
The modules of 30dBm transmitting power are embedded with power amplifier (PA) and low noise amplifier
(LNA), which enhances the stability and longer communication range; the modules of 20dBm transmitting
power adopt industrial grade crystal oscillators to ensure the stability and consistency, its precision is lower
than the widely adopted 10ppm. E32 series are 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. The encryption-decryption algorithm makes data interception
meaningless. And the data compression enables shorter transmitting time and lower rate of being interfered,
which increased the reliability and transmitting efficiency.
E32 series strictly follow FCC, CE, CCC and such design standards and meet various RF certification requirements
for exporting.

1. Features
⚫

LoRa:
The LoRa spread-spectrum means the transmitting distance is much longer than before. Confidentiality is high and the
possibility of being intercepted is extremely low Strong ability of anti-interference, which has a strong inhibitory capacity for
the Co-Channel Interference and all kinds of noises, and with excellent performance of anti-multipath fading

⚫

Ultra-low power consumption:
It supports WOR to reduce overall power consumption. In power-saving mode(Mode 2), it can regulate overall power
consumption by setting receiving response delay; The maximum receiving response delay can be configured as 2000ms, and
the average current is about 30uA.

⚫

Fixed transmission:
Module can communicate with other modules which work in different channels and addresses, it is easy for networking and
repeater. For example: module A transmits AA BB CC to module B (address: 0x00 01, channel: 0x80), HEX format is 00 01 80 AA
BB CC (00 01 refers to the address of module B, 80 refers to the channel of module B), then module B receives AA BB CC (only
module B).

⚫

Broadcast transmission:
Set the module address as 0xFFFF, then the module can communicate with other modules in same channel.

⚫

FEC:
Forward Error Correction, high coding efficiency & good correction performance. In the case of sudden interference, it can
correct the interfered data packets proactively, so that the reliability & transmission range are improved correspondingly.
Without FEC, those data packets can only be dropped.

⚫

Sleep mode:
When the module works in sleep mode (mode 3), transmitting & receiving is not available, while the configuration is available.
The typical current is 6.0uA in this mode.

⚫

Watchdog:
Module with a built-in watchdog, layout and precise time, once an exception occurs, the module will restart in 0.107 seconds,
and will continue to work on the previous parameter Settings.

⚫

Parameter saving:
The parameters will be saved after setting and won’t be lost when powers-off. After power-up again, modules work as the
previous parameters.

⚫

Meter reading:
E32 (400T20S) is optimized specifically for meter reading data logging, it supports super wide operating frequency with
corresponding antenna, it also supports 197-Byte large data packet transmission.

Remarks

⚫

The current consumed when the RF chip is only
working at receiving mode is called as receiving
current,the tested receiving current may be higher for
some RF chips with communication protocol or the
developers have loaded their own protocol to the
whole module.

⚫

The current at pure receiving mode will be mA level,
the users have to realize µA level receiving current
through firmware development.

Module reset
When the module is powered on, AUX outputs low level immediately, conducts hardware self-check and sets the operating mode on
the basis of the user parameters. During the process, the AUX keeps 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, the user needs to wait the AUX rising edge
as the starting point of module’s normal work.

AUX description
AUX Pin can be used as indication for wireless send & receive buffer and self-check. It can indicate whether there are data that are
yet to send via wireless way, or whether all wireless data has been sent through UART, or whether the module is still in the process

⚫

Buffer (empty): the internal 512 bytes data in the buffer are written to the RFIC (auto sub-packing).

⚫

When AUX=1, the user can input data less than 512 bytes continuously without overflow. 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.

⚫

Notes: 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

Notes for AUX

For function 1 & function 2 mentioned above, the priority should be given to the one with low level output, which means if 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 AUX
outputs high level, the mode switch will be completed.

⚫

After switching to new operating mode, it won’t be work in the new mode immediately until AUX rising edge 2ms later. If AUX is
on the high level, the operating mode switch can be effected immediately.

⚫

When the user switches to other operating modes from mode 3 (sleep mode) or it’s still in reset process, the module will reset user
parameters, during which AUX outputs low level.

Mode switch
The user can decide the operating mode by the combination of M1 and M0. The two GPIO of MCU can be used to switch mode.
After modifying M1 or M0, it will start to work in new mode 1ms later if the module is free. If there are any serial data that are yet to
finish wireless transmitting, it will start to work in new mode after the UART transmitting finished. After the module receives the
wireless data & transmits the data through serial port, it will start to work in new mode after the transmitting finished. Therefore,
the mode-switch is only valid when AUX outputs 1, otherwise it will delay.

⚫

For example, in mode 0 or mode 1, if the user inputs massive data consecutively and switches operating mode at the same time, the
mode-switch operation is invalid. New mode checking can only be started after all the user’s data process completed. It is
recommended to check AUX pin out status and wait 2ms after AUX outputs high level before switching the mode.

⚫

If the module switches from other modes to stand-by mode, it will work in stand-by mode only after all the remained data process
completed. The feature can be used to save power consumption. For example, when the transmitter works in mode 0, after the
external MCU transmits data “12345”, it can switch to sleep mode immediately without waiting the rising edge of the AUX pin,
also the user’s main MCU will go dormancy immediately. Then the module will transmit all the data through wireless transmission
& go dormancy 1ms later automatically, which reduces MCU working time & save power.

⚫

Likewise, this feature can be used in any mode-switch. The module will start to work in new mode within 1ms after completing
present mode task, which enables the user to omit the procedure of AUX inquiry and switch mode swiftly. For example, when
switching from transmitting mode to receiving mode, the user MCU can go dormancy before mode-switch, using external interrupt
function to get AUX change so that the mode-switch can be realized.

⚫

This operation is very flexible and efficient. It is totally designed on the basis of the user MCU’s convenience, at the same time the
work load and power consumption of the whole system have been reduced and the efficiency of whole system is largely improved.

E32 Series User Manual

Normal mode (mode 0)
When M1 = 0 & M0 = 0, module works in mode 0
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.

6.3.

Wake-up mode (mode 1)
When M1 = 0 & M0 = 1, module works in mode 1
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.

Receiving

The same as that in mode 0.

6.4. Power-saving mode (mode 2)
When M1 = 1 & M0 = 0, module works in mode 2
Transmitting

UART is closed, the module cannot receive any serial port data from outside MCU.
Hence the function of wireless transmission is not available for the module working in this mode.
In mode 2, it is required the data transmitter works in mode 1.
The wireless module monitors the preamble code at regular time.
Once it gets the preamble code, it will remain as receiving status and waiting for the completion of receiving the
entire valid data package.

Receiving

Then the AUX outputs low level, 5ms later the serial port is open to transmit received wireless data through TXD.
Finally, AUX outputs high level after process completed.
The wireless module stays in “power-saving – monitoring” working status (polling).
By setting different wake-up time, the module will have different receiving response delay (2s in maximum) and
average power consumption (30uA in minimum).
The user needs to achieve a balance between communication delay time & average power consumption.

FAQ

10.1. 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).

⚫

The power supply low voltage under room temperature is lower than 2.5V, the lower the voltage, the lower the transmitting power.

⚫

Due to antenna quality or poor matching between antenna and module.

10.2. Module is easy to damage
⚫

Please check the power supply source, ensure it is 2.0V~3.6V, voltage higher than 3.6V will damage the module.

⚫

Please check the stability of power source, the voltage cannot fluctuate too much.

⚫

Please make sure anti-static 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.
