AFE5809: AFE5809 power consumption

Part Number: AFE5809

Hello

       I want to make sure  how much power will  the AFE5809 comsume on such conditions:

sample clk: 20MSPS;

VCA low power mode;

decimation factor M = 32, 4 LVDS channels used;

input signal < 100mVpp.

I have tested it on the AFE5809EVM board.When it was in the M=4 I and Q Decimation test mode, and VCA in low power mode, the +5V current is 0.59A, which gave a 3.0W total board power consumption.When the chip was in a complete power down mode, the +5V current is 0.22A, which means that other elements on the EVM board would comsume a power of 1.1W. So is it right that the chip will consume about 1.9W power under my working condition? That much too higher than what it is in the data sheet (100mW/ch+55mW/ch)*8  @40MHz.

  • Hello Feng,

    The current consumption on the AFE5809EVM in complete powerdown mode do not match the value you have mentioned.
    On the AFE5809EVM, we are measuring about 0.4 A in complete powerdown mode.

    Can you list the sequence of operations you are performing in the EVM to measure the current?
  • Hello Praveen,

         The EVM is powered by +5V and -5V DC power supply, the USB cable is connected to the PC through out the test, the ADC_CLK is 40MHz, LNA in low power mode

    +5V CURRENT(A) -5V CURRENT(A)
    after power on and reset 0.666 0.059
    M=4, both I and Q test mode 0.683 0.059
    complete power dowm 0.219 0.059

    complete power down can be acheived through two ways: unplug the jumper on the EVM, or change register values, both the two way have the same result.

    it is very strange for me the hear that your board have a current of 0.4A in complete PDN.

    Best Regards!
