CYBT-343026-01 current consumption is more than expected.

[NeDh_4602711]

Hello,

Currently I am using  WICED-Studio-6.2\20706-A2_Bluetooth\app\demo\hello_client example and also I made 0 dBm tx (using wiced_bt_dev_set_adv_tx_power(0);) but it is currently taking current consumption of ~3mAmp and as per datasheet I am expecting it to take current of ~315micro amp. what changes I should make in the code to get the expected current consumption?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks and regards,

Neeraj

Hi Neeraj,

Please check if you have implemented low power mechanism correctly.

Can you also describe the method you are using to measure current?

Which low power mechanism is expected to use. Currently, I am using wiced_sleep_config(WICED_TRUE,NULL,NULL); only.

Could you please tell me which mechanism is needed to use for the lowest power consumption?

I believe there is deep sleep but that in this mode BLE advertisement stops until it wakeup.

Regards,

Neeraj
