5VLED is on when powerde by Vbat

b.a. · ‎2025-06-26

I have Nucleo-L452RE-P and want to try out battery backup for RTC.

I connected a CR2032 to Morpho connector 19 (-) and 33 (+) and when I pull the USB plug, the 5V LED LD2 remains on, although a bit less bright.

How can that be?

Take a look at the schematics ...

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

I did, even before posting...
Vbat is connected to VDD_MCU but nowhere is a connection to 5V and LD3 is connected to 5V only
