Hello, Everyone,

Trying to wrap up a pair of M version PCB builds and I somehow forgot to order the 47uH inductors even though I remember clearly thinking I needed to make sure that I don't forget them since I did not have any on hand. The ones I do have laying around are 4.7uH. I noticed in the Version 16 schematic that L1,2 positions were sometimes bridged for certain versions. I am just wondering if using this low of a value will either create an undesired filter effect or if there will be insufficient EMI suppression.

Thanks!

Paul

Many times I didn't even put these inductors.

Did you notice any unwanted effects such and RF interference when using a jumper instead?

Thanks!

In short, No.
I have never had any problems with RF interference although there is a local FM radio station nearby (which I personally founded in 1996 😀) which has 100W power in the antenna. In addition, I live surrounded by dozens of wi-fi routers, and probably hundreds of switching sources of devices,several cable television networks and towers with mobile phone antennas.
In addition, I live in a block built over 60 years ago and the grounding of the electrical network is no longer efficient.

Good to know. Thanks!
