MSP430FR2355: Current consumption compares with MSP430F2274

Part Number: MSP430FR2355

Hello experts,

I got question active mode current consumption.
If I want to compare active mode current consumption between FR2355 and F2274, which parameter should I refer? 
The parameter "Active Mode Supply Current Excluding External Current" is good to compare the performance for fMCLK=1MHz case?

FR2355's datasheet

F2274's datasheet

From both of datasheet, depends on the use case, FR2355's current consumption is smaller for fMCLK=fSMCLK=1MHz.

And total current consumption performance is same scale (Not by an order of magnitude) between FR2355 and F2274.
Is my understanding correct?

I would appreciate if you would give me advice.

Thanks and best regards,

Ryo Akashi

    Yes.  In general the FR2355 and F2274 will be comparable under those conditions.  The FR2355 is a little more complicated due to the %HIT on the instruction cache, and depends a lot on how the code is optimized and structured, but from experience the power numbers will be roughly the same.
