what is the meaning of Low power value (CC2530)

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2530, Z-STACK

Hi everyone!

              what is the meaning of the Low power value from CC2530

              Question 1:

              is that means every one hour the device costs 0.2mA when it was setting as Power Mode 1?

            Question  2:

             and as we know ,the device wake up cycle was depending on the Poll rate which you setting,

             it will be long or short ,why it marks  that only  1uA????

             is that means nomatter  how long does the devices sleep and then wake up, the device always costs 1uA every one Hour?

            Question  3:

    why does PM3 costs more power than the PM2 costs ?

   Question 4:

   how could we set the device as PM1 ???

   what is the different between PM1 and PM2? 

    Question 4:

     Active Mode RX &TX  are not include PA device ?

      if we add the PA device  it will cost more  ,      is  that right?

             

  • 1. It mean CC2530 would consume 0.2 mA continuously in PM1.
    2. This current consumption is not included RF TX/RX and other peripheral functions.
    3. In PM3, CC2530 can only be waked up by external GPIO not timer interrupt to save more power.
    4. You can't set CC2530 to PM1 using Z-Stack API or defines. Z-Stack uses PM2.
    5. Yes.
  • 3. In PM3, CC2530 can only be waked up by external GPIO not timer interrupt to save more power.
    To save more power ??? why it cost more power than PM2?

    4. You can't set CC2530 to PM1 using Z-Stack API or defines. Z-Stack uses PM2.
    so what is PM1 use for ? we can't set it
  • 3. PM3 is less power consuming than PM2.
    4. Somebody would write their own RF protocol for CC2530 and they can use it. Since Zigbee is low power solution, Z-Stack uses PM2.
