CC2640R2F: Sensor Controller Wake-Up Time

Part Number: CC2640R2F
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2640

I found in this thread  that the wakeup time for the sensor controller is about 100 us.

I just wanted to confirm this is correct as it's an older thread.

I want to use the Sensor Controller ADC so sample continuously at 6 kHz. But with a 100 us wake-up time, it seems that it isn't possible to sleep between ADC samples. Since the Sensor Controller uses 500-700 uA, the slow wakeup time precludes me from using the cc2640 in my design.

Thanks.

  • Hello Jeremy,
    You are correct. In this case you do not have time to enter standby. You can keep the sensor controller alive and use the aux timer 0 to trigger ADC conversions (refer to the ADC Data Streamer Example). This will usually still be lower power compared to using the main application processor (TI-RTOS driver).
