🔌 Critical Pins for Integration
VCCPA (Pin 4): High-current 3-5V supply for the power amplifier.
TXEN/RXEN/LNAC (Pins 7-9): Must be controlled correctly to enable TX or RX mode.
SPI (Pins 13-15, 17): For all configuration and communication.
🛒 Model Options
N516ES-B-868M: 860-880MHz (EU, etc.)

⚠️ Important Notes for Implementation
Dual Power Supplies: You must provide separate 3.3V and ~5V power rails.
Control Pin Sequencing: Incorrect use of TXEN/RXEN can affect performance. Follow recommended sequences.
Antenna & Layout: Use a good antenna and follow basic RF PCB layout principles (continuous ground plane, short RF trace) for best performance.
The N516ES-B provides a balanced blend of high output power, good sensitivity, and professional features in a compact module, suited for building reliable long-range wireless connections.
