Low Power Kit Demo Set Up
 The Low Power kit comes with a
small DMM
 You will use it to make current
measurements
 When you do this during the lab,
follow the directions carefully for
the Meter and Jumper settings, in
order to get the proper results.
 The shunt resistor in the meter
will create a voltage drop so use
the highest amp scale setting as
practical.

Low Power Techniques

Power Use Profiles
 Active
 Clocks stay at steady rate
 Limited Active
 Clock or peripherals throttled back when not necessary
 Real Time Clock
 Core is halted much of the time, but awaken at regular intervals
 Our lab will use this profile, which allows calculable power
consumption
 Standby
 Core is halted most of the time, but awaken by an external
event
20

Power Use Profiles
For maximum power efficiency:
 Avoid floating I/O pins.
 Keep DC loads on for minimum amount of time
These include ADC, DAC, Low Voltage Detectors, Comparators,
external sensors, radios, etc.
 Keep digital loads off until needed
These include the Core, Timers, Serial peripherals, or anything
else that has power in proportion to frequency
 Use stabilization time to do other things
Example: When ADC is becoming active or doing a conversion, do
calculations for last conversion
21

Organize power uses into discrete units
 Process 1: ADC setup
 ADC Stabilization time 20us
 ADC Stabilization Current 200uA
 Process 2: ADC Sampling
 ADC Sample time 15 clocks
 ADC Current 200uA
 Process average current is the process current, multiplied by
the time it operates, divided by the period over which it is
repeated.
 System average current is the sum of each individual
process average currents.
 System peak current is found as the sum of each individual
process’ current that run concurrently.

Calculating Average Current
 Average Current Calculation for periodic systems:
 Iave = (I1*Time1 + I2*Time2…)/Period
 The individual times must add up to equal the time period.
Example: Wake current is 1mA, for 150ms and standby mode
is 3uA for the rest of the time (850ms), repeated every
second.
Average current = [(1000uA*0.15s) + (3uA*0.85s)]/1s =
152uA
Note that we changed units!

Calculating Battery Life
 Battery Life = Capacity / Load
 The CR2032 coin cell has a capacity of 230mAH
 From the previous slide, our load was 152uA average
 230mAH / 0.152mA = 1513 Hours
 1513 Hours/(24Hours/Day)= 63 Days
Again, be careful with the units!

Low Power Lab
 We will now run the lab, where we will study a sample case.
 Our sample application is a Data Logger, requires an RTC for
periodic wakeup, ADC for data measurement, and SPI for
simulating transmitted data to a radio.
 We will presume our battery voltage is 3V, we will use the
3.3V provided by the Debug Adapter.
 We have supplied some of the time and current
measurements, but will let you measure the rest.
 Your goal is to setup the system to be most efficient,
calculate current consumption, and determine battery life.
