Product Details

TI CC1310 Dual-Core Architecture — MCU + Dedicated RF Core

The CC1310 integrates a Cortex-M3 application processor and a dedicated Cortex-M0 RF core, offloading all RF protocol processing from the main MCU. This architecture enables simultaneous sensor data processing and wireless communication without performance compromise, while keeping sleep current as low as 1.7μA — ideal for battery-powered nodes.

8 Configurable Working Modes incl. Air Wake-Up (WoR)

The E70-433MT14S supports 8 operating modes configurable via M0/M1 pins and AT commands, including transparent transmission, fixed-point addressing, broadcast, and air wake-up (WoR). WoR mode enables the receiver to wake from sleep only when a valid RF packet is detected, dramatically extending battery life in listen-heavy applications.

Flexible Networking — P2P, Broadcast, Multi-Point

Supports point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and mesh-style networking via address and channel configuration. Up to 65536 addresses and 32 channels allow large-scale deployments without interference. RSSI signal strength reporting enables link quality monitoring at the application layer.

24MHz TCXO — Industrial Frequency Stability

Equipped with a 24MHz temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO), the E70-433MT14S maintains frequency accuracy across -20 to +85℃. This ensures reliable communication in thermally variable industrial environments where standard crystal oscillators would drift and cause packet loss.

10×10mm Ultra-Compact SMD — Stamp-Hole Integration

At 10×10mm and 0.5g, the E70-433MT14S is one of the smallest 433MHz UART modules available. Stamp-hole (castellated) pads allow direct SMD reflow soldering onto host PCBs without connectors, minimizing BOM cost and assembly complexity for high-volume IoT product integration.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between E70-433MT14S and E70-433T14S2?

A: The E70-433MT14S uses stamp-hole (castellated) SMD pads for direct PCB soldering at 10×10mm. The E70-433T14S2 is a larger variant with an SMA antenna connector. Choose MT14S for compact PCB integration; T14S2 for prototyping or external antenna applications.

Q: Is the E70-433MT14S compatible with 5V UART systems?

A: No. The module operates at 3.3V TTL logic. Connecting 5V TTL directly to the UART pins will damage the module. Use a 3.3V–5V level shifter when interfacing with 5V microcontrollers such as Arduino Uno or STM32 5V-tolerant boards.

Q: Can the E70-433MT14S be used in LoRaWAN networks?

A: No. The E70-433MT14S uses TI CC1310 with GFSK modulation — it is not a LoRa (Semtech SX12xx) module and does not support LoRaWAN protocol. It operates as a transparent UART serial link or with Ebyte’s proprietary addressing protocol. For LoRaWAN, consider Ebyte E22 or E77 series.

Q: What is the maximum air speed and how does it affect range?

A: The air speed is user-programmable from 2.5kbps to 168kbps. Lower air speeds (e.g., 2.5kbps) yield maximum sensitivity (-108dBm) and longest range (1.5km). Higher air speeds reduce sensitivity but increase throughput — suitable for short-range, high-data-rate applications.

Q: Does the module support RSSI reporting?

A: Yes. The E70-433MT14S can append RSSI byte data to received packets, allowing the host MCU to monitor link quality and implement adaptive power or routing decisions at the application layer.
