The actual power consumption and the zigbee profile

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2530, CC2630

Hi everyone,

          there is a question of  the CC2530 actual power comsumption.

          as we know ,zstack support the powersaving , and it will be as low as 1uA in ideal state.

  

         but when it open the RF ,not only sending the warning msg and recevie remote data ,it cost  more than 20mA,

         although that is configurable, but it aslo cost  mA

 

        so  there is a problem while CC2530 used in the actual products.

        we can imagine that a connect switch which install on the door,

        it will not only wake up to sending warning msg when door open but also poll his parents every 60s (Zigbee profile recommended)

        so as a customer，i do have doubt about whether zigbee is fit for powering by battery ？

       how could we control the customer do not open and close the door frequently！！！！！！

    Actually, the CC2530 only wakes up very short to do TX and RX so it is OK to operate with battery. If you need more power efficiency, you can use CC2630 which is much more low power on both TX and RX compared with CC2530.

    i have doing a test, and coding to send the warning Msg every 5s ,
    we can follow the SWRA292 files : it shows us that CC2530 will cost 0.508 mAh everyday in ideal state(poll every 5s, send MSG 20 times/day, received MSG 20times/day )

    it seems so low, but if open the door more than 20times?

    and if that is motion detector, there is not only 20 times one day

    If your applications would trigger so many times on door sensor and motion detector, you should use CC2630 and a big battery.
