It is possible to calculate the typical current consumption based on the numbers from Table 32-1
on page 390 for other V
CC
and frequency settings than listed in Table 32-2.
32.2.1.1 Example 1
Calculate the expected current consumption in idle mode with USART0, TIMER1, and TWI
enabled at V
CC
= 2.0V and F = 1MHz. From Table 32-2, third column, we see that we need to
add 17% for the USART0, 24% for the TWI, and 10% for the TIMER1 module. Reading from Fig-
ure 32-6 on page 388, we find that the idle current consumption is ~0.15mA at V
CC
= 2.0V and F
= 1MHz. The total current consumption in idle mode with USART0, TIMER1, and TWI enabled,
gives:
