EVM430-FR6047: EVM430-FR6047 Current consumption

Hi, 

The current measurement is NOT for the whole board.

Please refer to the schematic of EVM. The jumper is J32.

Hi
I know the measurement is done on jumper J32
However, I did not receive an answer to question 2.

Is the measurement I do by DVM correct?
Why do I get a current consumption of 180uA or 3mA its far away from what i expected?

Hi, 

I think your measurement is ok.

Please check is there any other jumper you can remove on the board to exclude resistors/other devices.

Thanks,

1) This is what your document is about the MSP430
I get 180uA or 3mA, why do you think my measurement is ok?

2) How do I get the MSP430 to work in LPM (0,1,2...) configuration?

1) No, I mean the measure method is ok. There are many factors which will lead to an incorrect result. For example, there are some external parts generating additional consumption. Or the code is not configured correctly.

2) For low power mode, we have several different example codes you can refer to.

Thanks,

Yuhao

1) Nothing is connected to the EVM except for 4 pins of the sensor reading, and the configuration I use is what is in the default after the board is flashed
So what could be causing high current consumption? Can you give an example?

2) I found these files, how do I burn them on the MSP?
Should I use Uniflash to take the file and load it as an image?
Or through the CCS?
But if through the CCS then what project do I open? Can you elaborate a bit on how to burn it on the card?
