https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/53988/magnet-vs-electronicsDoes anyone knows if a strong magnet could affect the normal performance of a Nordic device such as the nrf51822? Thanks!en-USTelligent Community 13Mon, 04 Nov 2019 12:35:09 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/218200?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 04 Nov 2019 12:35:09 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:6f8dd7ee-afe1-427c-9856-b753d1e2247eAndreas<p>Hi,</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We have not done any detailed testing on verification, but there are products using our SoCs (nRF51822 among others) in the presence of a magnetic field and as far as I know we have not received any reports that this might be a problem. The only restriction is the DCDC converter, the operation can be affected if the ferromagnetic core of the 10µH external inductor becomes saturated.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Best regards,</p> <p>Andreas</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
