| Minimising power consumption in the LPC9xx family (a little known, but important, fact) |
|
Hello all LPC9xx users,
I have seen some postings from LPC9xx users that indicate that even after removing power to certain peripheral blocks through the PCONA register device consumption is still higher than expected.
The trick is to also disable the watchdog oscillator - which is actually configured to run from reset.
The following code segment will achieve this:
mov wdcon, #00000000b ; stop watchdog, clear WDTOF
mov wfeed1, #0A5h
mov wfeed2, #05Ah ; control flags take effect
A customer of ours using a LPC922 recently experienced this problem. With everything disabled in PCONA and the ports appropriately configured he was still experiencing a current draw of about 40uA (in total power down). After including the above code segment the device current draw dropped to 140nano Amps!
Best regards,
Graham
