28.8.3 Supply Current of I/O modules
The tables and formulas below can be used to calculate the additional current consumption for
the different I/O modules in Active and Idle mode. The enabling or disabling of the I/O modules
are controlled by the Power Reduction Register. See ”PRR – Power Reduction Register” on
page 49 for details.
It is possible to calculate the typical current consumption based on the numbers from Table 28-
12 on page 478 for other V
CC
and frequency settings than listed in Table 28-11 on page 478.
Example Calculate the expected current consumption in idle mode with TIMER1, ADC, and SPI enabled
at V
CC
= 2.0V and F = 1MHz. From Table 28-12 on page 478, third column, we see that we need
to add 8.0% for the TIMER1, 19.8% for the ADC, and 13.2% for the SPI module. Reading from
Figure 28-301 on page 502, we find that the idle current consumption is ~0.075 mA at V
CC
= 2.0V
and F = 1MHz. The total current consumption in idle mode with TIMER1, ADC, and SPI enabled,
gives:
