Hello,
I am making some experimentations on the power consumption of the XB3 MMT module.
Using the sleep_now (pinwake=false) command in the micropython code, I can achieve at best a current consumption of 425µA during sleep.
I have already disabled all the I/O lines and also all the internal pull ups.
1/ Is there any way to further reduce the power consumption during sleep mode?
2/ Could I achieve better performance using the “non-PRO” version of the XBee module?
My target would be to lower the consumption to ~100µA…
Thanks for your help
Ok, I answer to my own question…
Setting correclty my I/Os before activation of the sleep mode can lead to <100µA consumption. Target achieved.
If anyone has any experience for comparison of PRO and non-PRO modules power consumption, it can be very interesting.
Regards,
Sam
Hi,
Please refer to this post: https://forums.digi.com/76140/xbee3-sleep-current
It contains details on how I have achieved (and verified) 2uA sleep currents as specified in the datasheets.
Thanks for your contribution
Indeed, my Sleep_RQ pin was already disabled.
But in my case, the 100µA target is for the board
I have some other stuff on it drawing some µAmps also…
