Re: Do I need to define a cut-out area in the ground plane for IPEX connector

Hi There is an indirect information borrowing from Nordic's nRF52840 EVK. Its layout is open to the public(in Altium Designer format). Attached please find two screen captures : 1. File "Nordic_nRF52840_EVK_Layout1.png" shows the normal 3D view. There is a ground polygon pour around the U.FL connect...

Re: Do I need to define a cut-out area in the ground plane for IPEX connector

Hi

I can find information of antenna placement for onboard antenna like attached. But that is for onboard PCB antenna. For IPEX I can't find anything similar. Maybe I have missed something?

Do I need to define a cut-out area in the ground plane for IPEX connector

Hi

I am using ESP32 S3 MINI 1U on a 4 layer PCB. The 2nd layer and the 3rd layer are ground plane.
My question is: do I need to define a cut-out area on these two ground planes underneath the IPEX connector on the MINI 1U module?

If yes, what is the dimension required?

Re: How the max Vin of 3100mV is calculated from an attenuation of 11dB?

b) the true reference voltage can range from 1000 mV to 1200 mV among different chips."[/url] c) The "attenuator" may have unspecified variations too Voltage reference became 873mV if we apply a measured voltage of 3100mV with 11dB (see screen shot attached.) 2023-08-21_18h06_51.png This value devi...

probably due to measurement error increasing when approaching Vref
A value as large as a 2dB gap seems too big as a measurement error. I think there is some other reasons.

How the max Vin of 3100mV is calculated from an attenuation of 11dB?

Hi I am wondering how the results tabulated in the ADC Attenuation section is calculated. If I use the equation as below, the max Vin with an attenuation of 11dB should be 3.9V something, but not 3.1V. 11dB = 20*log(Vin/Vref) dB Vin = Vref * arclog(11/20) = 1100*3.548 = 3902.94mV If we really want t...

Re: Does esp_adc_cal_characterize() work on ESP32S3?

What does analogRead() return at 3v3? You don't have to reinvent the wheel. When 3.3V is applied, both analogRead() and esp_adc_cal_get_voltage() returns 3073mV. To make a comparison, two analog channels at GPIO5 (read with esp_adc_cal_get_voltage) and GPIO9(read with analogRead) are adjusted to a ...

Re: Does esp_adc_cal_characterize() work on ESP32S3?

Now it is working with the right argument for ESP32S3 (ESP_ADC_CAL_VAL_EFUSE_TP_FIT). Thanks a lot. There is a function esp_adc_cal_raw_to_voltage() to return the calibrated ADC reading but for me, the other function esp_adc_cal_get_voltage() is enough. Max. ADC voltage returns 3073mV on my board. C...

Re: Does esp_adc_cal_characterize() work on ESP32S3?

You should use 0 for the 4th parameter in characterize in order to use the factory measured calibration setting stored in efuse Re-run the program with efuse check-up first: esp_err_t err = esp_adc_cal_check_efuse(ESP_ADC_CAL_VAL_EFUSE_TP); //run this line twice with arg=ESP_ADC_CAL_VAL_EFUSE_VREF ...

Does esp_adc_cal_characterize() work on ESP32S3?

Hi Chip: ESP32S3 IDE: MS Visual Studio with VMicro plugin Arduino ESP32 core : 2.0.10 I am calling esp_adc_cal_characterize() to learn how vref deviates from 1100mV on my ESP32S3 Dev Module.
