CC2510 PM2 power consumption

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2510

Hi everybody,

I'm using CC2510 chip and trying to measure power consumption at PM2 mode. I'm also using part of the sw indicated in the swra162a. the value I see with the oscilloscope is 114uA but not 0.5uA as indicated on the CC2510 datasheet.

any ideas?

thank you very much

  • Hi Zag,

    Have you checked the state of your IOs? They should be configured to a known state with no drive-contention.

  • Hi Zag,

    be aware that the default port configuration is input with pull-up with 20k. Except P1.0 and P1.1 which do not have any internal pull resistor. These two pins should therefore be set as outputs or pulled high/low externally to avoid leakage current.

    If you have any input port connected to your PCB this will cause current through the pull-resistor depending on the voltage level.

    Imagine VDD=2V and just one input with internal pull-up is connected to the PCB which has 0V. Only this single port will cause 2V/20k=100uA static current.

    regards
