My question is how to get the CYW43012 power draw closer to what the spec is indicating at about 255uA (with  DTIM = 1) instead of the 1.2 mA measured at VBAT. Am I missing something ? While in Power save DTIM =1, I am drawing 4x as much current at VBAT. When I changed the DTIM number, the steady state lower power current did not change, only the wake-up time changed. Is it a design issue with the CY8CKIT-062S2-43012 evaluation kit to truly test for this low power state ?

Hello @TurinL 

This is the same issue that you reported on this thread https://community.infineon.com/t5/AIROC-Wi-Fi-and-Wi-Fi-Bluetooth/Low-power-mode-for-CYW43012-1LV-mo... right? Can we address this issue there and close this thread?

Thanks

Murali
