EMI/EMC for VBAT Backup Power Supply in STM32F407G Custom Board

[rohithinthingstech]

I am designing a custom board based on the STM32F407G and need to provide backup power to the VBAT pin using an external battery. my board board must comply with EMI/EMC standards, what are the key requirements and design considerations when connecting the external battery to the VBAT pin?

Hi,

EMI - make sure it does not radiate.

EMC - make sure it is not susceptible to emissions...

Given that a battery doesn't have oscillator - might be safe...

"Susceptible" - might be safe there too...

I hope that helps.

Kind regards

"EMC" = Electro-Magnetic Compatibility = both emissions and susceptibility.

@Andrew Neil    they are two separate tests, conducted independently...

Yes, Emissions & Susceptibility are separate - but the combined total is EMC.

Compatibility consists of both not causing excessive Emissions, and not being excessively Susceptible to incoming interference.
