• RE: MSP430G2452 - Supply current too high

  I remembered one more thing that I forgot to add - there is a software tool called ULP Advisor that can generate remarks on ways you may be able to reduce power based on things in your code. This is another good tool to use (the remarks will show up in…

• RE: Trying to lower Power Consumption on MSP430F5419A

  

  Leo Hendrawan

  Hi, taking a quick look, it seems that you haven't set the unused pins. Unused pins should not be let floating since it can consume extra current. I would suggest to check your code by ULP advisor ( http://www.ti.com/tool/ulpadvisor ), and see whether…

  Hi David, as Brian already pointed out, the proper prototype for the intrinsic function is void __delay_cycles(unsigned long cycles); (two leading underscores). However, it sounded like your question was more related to the remark " Detected SW delay…

• RE: __delay_cycles

  

  Katie Pier

  Resolved

  Hi, This is a message provided by ULP Advisor rather than a compiler warning - this is why I think it will show up under "Advice" instead of under "Problems" in CCS. There is nothing wrong with using __delay_cycles (it will definitely…

  Hi Alex, The datasheet shows some graphs on p. 22 (see Figure 2) for the typical active mode supply current under different conditions. The graphs look close to 0.4mA for the conditions that you mentioned (running in Active mode at 1MHz with Vcc = 3.5V…
