MSP430F5529: High current consumption with EVB

Part Number: MSP430F5529


I'm trying to measure the current consumption of the MSP430F5529. For this I have:

  • MSP-EXP430F5529 EVB
  • A multimeter

What I have done is:

  1. removed J6, and connect the meter in series to the pins
  2. Loaded the 'pmm_ex3_lowCurrentConsumption' (I get the same results with the demo app)
  3. Disconnected the debugger
  4. Measured the current

In all scenarios, I get a current of ~880 uA, which is much larger than the few uA's I was expecting from LPM3. Any ideas?
