Need power consumption data ...

The data sheet says TBD microamps on SLEEP MODE
35 mA on RUN MODE, TBD microamps on DEEP-SLEEP MODE.

Please tell me the number in stead of TBD!

Hi,

You can find power consumption numbers for Sleep and Deep-Sleep Modes in the Errata document. For both modes document states about 1.7 mA @ 3.3 V due to problem with the clock pad. No workaround except of course turning it off, oh well world is not perfect after the first spin. I have not yet measured power so maybe somebody else can confirm these numbers.

Thanks,
Pawel

Read the errata sheet. The errata sheet says there was some kind of problem with the way the chips are made, so it has a whopping 1.7 ma in deep sleep mode.

I'm sure they'll publish more numbers after some time passes. It typically takes a couple months before you get detailed info on new chips.

Can you give us some idea what kind of power consumption we can expect for sleep and deep sleep modes in future revisions?

Any news?

The 1.7ma has gone away in the Rev C errata.

Has anyone heard about the power numbers from the Luminary people?

This is still the make-break feature on this chip for me and hoping that the Cortex core won't disappoint...
