, thereby delivering > 25 mA peak
S42 is designed to be powered from 3V coin cell batteries e.g. CR2032 directly, or
any other power source complying with the given requirements. For optimal performance, a
stable supply is recommended. Furthermore, it is recommended to place a capacitor in parallel
to the CR2032 3V coin cell battery in order to prolong battery lifetime, by compensating the
effects of the rising source resistance of the battery to pulsed loads. Since the isolation
resistance of this capacitor will discharge the battery in a not insignificant scale, the capacitor
should be chosen under consideration of the following rules:
•
capacitance as small as necessary
•
nominal voltage as high as possible
•
case size as large as possible
•
use X7R instead of X5R
In case of using an NFC antenna in conjunction with batteries attend to chapter 3.7.1 Power
Back feeding.
