Re: Voltage sensing diode
This is not true. The diodes make sure that no input rises above Vdd+0.6V, whatever Vdd is, to a certain extent. The 4V max is the maximum voltage "acceptable" to be applied Also, not true in itself.

Re: Voltage sensing diode
Volts is not enough, because almost fully charged battery and fully discharged battery, both have 3 Volts :)

Re: NanoVNA-saver and Windows XP
You can use NanoVNASharp MOD V3: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4881#p12524 It works on Windows XP and has most of needed functionality, include capture screenshot button and TDR :)

Re: Voltage sensing diode
In general: The death of an IC or damage when subjected to voltages outside its maximum ratings is not *guaranteed*. That explains why the VNAnano does not die from Vbat of 4.01V, nor 4.1V or even

Re: Voltage sensing diode
Agreed that this is sensible... 1) I seem to recall that VBAT can go as low as 1.5V and still power the RTC et al. Not verified. 2) We are discussing this only for battery voltage indication, so an

Re: Voltage sensing diode
The real reason the voltage is limited to 4V is due to the ESD protection diodes in the device. There is a diode between all inputs and VDD, so if a voltage greater than a diode drop above VDD is

Re: Voltage sensing diode
Not wanting to flame...but I seem to recall seeing a comment about VBAT seeing VDD+0.6V at startup under some conditions...I'll have to see if I can find it...that seems to imply that VBAT can see

Re: NanoVNA-saver and Windows XP
Visual C ++ is required to render the graphics, so if you can, there is hope. I tried to install on windows 7-32 bit machine that lacked the SP1 service pack and couldn't install it. I tried Python

Re: Voltage sensing diode
Why are my two still operating OK at a VBat of a little over 4.195 V after the diode then? I do not see that it has any detrimental effects. Give me a timeline on when the chip will fail if the Max

Re: Dead?
Oristo, according to STM32F072 datasheet, the safe voltage for VBAT is 3.6 V and it should not exceed 4.0V otherwise it leads to permanent damage. Li-Ion battery has max voltage 4.2 V. Today I tested

Re: Voltage sensing diode
The safe operating voltage for VBAT is 3.6 V, so this is why there is needs diode with voltage drop

Re: Voltage sensing diode
According to datasheet VBAT pin has absolute maximimum rating 4.0 V MAX. This limit already takes into account internal dividers and other circuit. If you exceed it it may damage device. Datasheet

Re: Voltage sensing diode
I think this is an interesting design discussion, because it can have a long term impact on what we do... I have not had time to research further, but the point about what it powers is relevant In

Re: Dead?
That chip is seemingly related to those in small LED flashlights, where various switch press sequences select on vs off vs blink, but nanoVNA lacks pushbutton access. My nanoVNA played dead

Re: Voltage sensing diode
Mike, Please have a look at the 4th VBAT match on this webpage: http://embedded-lab.com/blog/stm32s-internal-rtc/? 4V? is the max you can stick on VBAT before the silicon is overly stressed and the

Re: Voltage sensing diode
I'm talking about the voltage the Vbat sense pin "sees" - it goes into a voltage divider for voltage monitoring. Yes the backup battery powers things but at that point it is what it is in the Nano
