LIV4F actual VBAT range

[Vane]

What is the actual backup input supply voltage range for Teseo LIV4F receivers? Datasheet says that it is 3-3.63V which is really high and doesn't make sense to add any Lithium battery as a backup supply because it will very quickly drop below 3V at the beginning of operation (CR2032/CR1220). But X-NUCLEO-LIV4A1 (https://www.st.com/resource/en/data_brief/x-nucleo-liv4a1.pdf) has a place for CR2032 battery socket and even diode D2 in series on which will be some extra voltage drop. So the question is it a mistake in board design or the actual minimum VBAT voltage is less than it's written in the datasheet? In the second case, it's a drawback of these receivers, at least for my use-case.

I believe there is a margin that will allow for VBAT to dip below 3V.

Please give me a day or two to confirm this.

Thanks! It would be nice to check. If it can operate at 2.5V, it will be sufficient for use with lithium batteries.

LIV4F VBAT can operate down to 2.1V.

Thank you! That's very nice.
