Product Overview

The N533BS is a robust, long-range Sub-1GHz RF module built around Texas Instruments' powerful CC1312R wireless microcontroller, enhanced with an integrated Power Amplifier (PA) and Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA). This combination delivers an impressive +30 dBm (1 Watt) transmit power and excellent receiver sensitivity, enabling reliable communication over distances up to 8 kilometers. Supporting critical frequency bands including 169 MHz, 433 MHz, 868 MHz, and 915 MHz, the module is engineered for applications demanding both extended range and high reliability in industrial and IoT environments.

Key Features & Benefits

• High-Power, Long-Range Link: The integrated PA and LNA provide a superior link budget, achieving +30 dBm output and reliable 8000-meter range for challenging deployments.

• Advanced Processing Core: Based on the CC1312R, featuring an ARM Cortex-M4F processor with ample memory (up to 352KB Flash) to handle complex application logic and protocol stacks.

• Multi-Band Global Support: Operates on key Sub-1GHz ISM bands worldwide, including the specialized 169 MHz band for utility metering and the standard 433/868/915MHz bands.

• Optimized RF Performance: The 4-layer PCB design ensures excellent impedance matching, noise immunity, and stable RF performance across its operating range.

• Industrial Robustness & Flexibility: Rated for -30°C to +75°C operation. All CC1312R I/O pins are accessible via the SMD package, enabling full custom hardware integration and firmware development.
