30.6.3 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 ”PRR0 – Power Reduction Register 0” on page 56 for details.
It is possible to calculate the typical current consumption based on the numbers from Table 30-12 on page 480
for other V
CC
and frequency settings than listed in Table 30-11 on page 480.

Calculate the expected current consumption in idle mode with TIMER1, ADC, and SPI enabled at V
CC
= 2.0V
and F = 1MHz. From Table 30-12 on page 480, third column, we see that we need to add 9.1% for the TIMER1,
17.9% for the ADC, and 12.4% for the SPI module. Reading from Figure 30-251 on page 477, we find that the
idle current consumption is ~0.078mA at V
CC
= 2.0V and F = 1MHz. The total current consumption in idle mode
with TIMER1, ADC, and SPI enabled, gives:
