Hardware Design and Pin Definition3.1 Pin LayoutThe E220P-400T22S adopts a 22-pin SMD package. The core pin definitions are as follows:Pin NumberNameDirectionFunction Description1/2/3/4/11/13/19/20/22GND-Power ground5M0Input (weak pull-up)Used with M1 to set operating mode, can be grounded if not used6M1Input (weak pull-up)Used with M0 to set operating mode, can be grounded if not used7RXDInputUART receive, connects to TXD pin of external MCU8TXDOutputUART transmit, connects to RXD pin of external MCU9AUXOutputModule operating status indicator, can be used to wake up external MCU, can be left floating if not used10VCC-Power input, 2.3~5.5V DC21ANT-Antenna interface, connects to 50Ω impedance antenna12/14-18NC-No connection pins, no need to connect3.2 Hardware Design NotesPower Design: It is recommended to use a DC regulated power supply with as small ripple coefficient as possible, reserve more than 30% power margin, and ensure reliable grounding of the module.Wiring Specification: High-frequency digital traces, analog traces and power lines should avoid passing under the module. If necessary, lay copper on the contact layer of the module and ground it well.Electromagnetic Compatibility: The module should be kept away from strong electromagnetic interference sources such as power supplies, transformers and high-frequency wiring, and maintain an appropriate distance from 2.4GHz devices such as USB 3.0.Antenna Deployment: The antenna should be exposed as much as possible and vertically upward. If installed in a metal case, use an antenna extension cable to lead the antenna out of the case to avoid signal attenuation.4.
