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
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

Re: IP3 measurement
Hi Elia, The output of the NanoVNA is a square wave consisting of a fundamental below 300MHz and its harmonics above.You would need to take all that into account in addition to the discrete freq steps

Re: Voltage sensing diode
Actually, it DOES power the RTC in addition to being monitored.? What would Vbat-Vss give you? ...? since Vss is Gnd and at 0V and Vbat-Vss is 4V max as specified, you need the diode (or two) or

I know what it says elsewhere in the datasheet for maximums, but I think it's not that simple for Vbat. Snippet from datasheet - 3.10.3 VBAT battery voltage monitoring This embedded hardware feature
