Hi there,
I have started to measure the power consumption of my platform and I am seeing a higher than expected active mode current consumption. My CC2571 is using the following settings:
ASYNC UART
50KBPS
TX Rate 4Hz
TX Power 2
32khz Xtal installed
VCC=3V
I measure an active mode current consumption with the channel open of around 5-6mA. This is baseline and then I see the 4Hz TX spikes on top of that.
Is that current consumption normal? I thought it should be much lower in the region of sub 1mA.
The PowerDown current is as expected in around 1uA.
void ant_powerdown (void)
{
output_high (sleep_ant);
delay_ms (1);
output_low (suspend_ant);
}
void ant_wake (void)
{
output_high (suspend_ant);
delay_ms (1);
output_low (sleep_ant);
}
This are my two functions for waking and putting the device to sleep. Before sleeping I also send the CloseChannel command and after waking the device I send all the initialisation values again.
