LP-MSPM0G3507: Power Debugger Tool that supports MSPM0 family of Cortex M0+ based 32bit MCU

Part Number: LP-MSPM0G3507
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSPM0G3507

Hello team,

I am developing a product using MSPM0 based Cortex M0+ MCU 

For the same purpose, I have purchased LP-MSPM0G3507 from TI.com

Power consumption of my product does matter and hence, I want to profile current consumption.

Which TI HW tools I can use to carry out current consumption profile for MSPM0G3507 ?

Kindly share relavant info so I can move forward.

Regards,

Krunal

  • Hi Krunal,

    There is an integrated Energy Trace tool in the launchpad, which could be used for measure the power consumption of the whole launchpad board, and its GUI could be used in CCS. You could refer to 3.6 Energy Trace of XDS110 Debug Probe for details.

  • Hello Pengfei,

    Thank you for your reply.

    Does this Energy Trace tool work with VS Code?

    Do I need additional HW to get power profile of my MCU sitting on  LP-MSPM0G3507 ?

    Will I be able to obtain power profile of my target MCU sitting on custom PCB?

    Regards,

  • Hi Krunal,

    Yes, there is Energy Trace in CCS v20 (VS Code interface). But in this version, the energy trace only work in debug mode, which make it not friendly for low power mode consumption measurement. So I personally recommend CCS12.8.1 more for energy trace.

    As for HW connection on LP-MSPM0G3507, you do not need any modification on the board.

    As for HW connection on custom board, you need to make sure the board power supply is from XDS110 VCC and GND, so that the energy trace could measure the consumption passed on VCC.
