Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650
Hi,
I am referring to the the Simple BLE Central project, and using a SmartRF06 evaluation board to measure power consumption. I have removed all the GPIO jumpers and have just connected a single jumper to the UP button which starts the discovery process.
According to the manual, if POWER_SAVING is enabled, the system should automatically go into a low power mode when it is idle. The Powerpolicy is set to Power.standbyPolicy and this should go to StandBy when idle.
When I measure the current, the CC2650 pulls around 27uA when idle and around 6mA when scanning for advertisements. According to the datasheet, current drawn during standby should be in the range of 1~3uA.
Is my understanding correct or am I missing anything. Any pointers on any changes I might need to do to get a current of < 5uA when idle would be very helpful.
Regards,
Sayu
