AWR1843: Minimum Power Consumption

Part Number: AWR1843

Hello,

do you have any information on what would be the minimum power consumption for the AWR1843 is?

I have read that this part is not designed for low power applications, but nonetheless we need this device to reduce its power consumption. What possible options are there to save any power besides disabling the DSS? The datasheet claims that at least DMA and GIO should have power down options, but the datasheet doesnt well describe how this is done.

Also,  I was experimenting with the WFI instruction. This seems to work as the program waits indeed for any interrupt at WFI, but the current consumption is doesnt drop at all. Can this be explained?

Best wishes

Christoph

  • Hi,

    Yes, the AWR1843 device is not designed for low power applications and does not have a low power mode. Even when using the WFI instruction the device is not in a low power state.

    Unfortunately there are no options to lower the power on AWR1843.

    Thank you
