I have been trying to get the OP6800 (2000 based) device to go to the  
lowest power consumption mode possible. I need the device to shut off  
programatically but since that’s not possible, just reduce power use to  
the max and loop until someone resets device power is fine. The sleep  
mode functions I’ve tried only reduce power to about 18 ma… but I read  
much lower values in other sleepy mode threads. Any suggestions…  
Thanks
