CC3220S: Could I disable WiFi on CC3220S and just leave M4 function?

Jesse Wang

Part Number: CC3220S

Hi TI expert,

As title, could I disable WiFi on CC3220S and just leave the M4 MCU in function?

If yes, then how could I do it?

And what's the current consumption of pure M4 active, but WiFi is off?

Hi Jesse,

I guess as long as you dont call sl_start the NWP will stay idle.

Current consumption can be found in the data sheet.

Hi Rogelio,

But the datasheet doesn't have power consumption data with M4 only. All are with NWP connected or active in some specific states.

Hi Jesse,

To answer your question, there is not a way to disconnect the NWP completely. The lowest power consumption would be 25.2 mA with the NWP in idle.
