Data found in the “Typ.” column is at TA = 25°C and VDD = 3.0V unless otherwise specified. These parameters are for design guidance only and are not tested.

Note:
  1. The module's current consumption only. To calculate the total internal power consumption of the microcontroller, add the power consumption values of all the peripherals and the clock sources used to the base power consumption given in 39.5 Power Consumption.
  2. Average power consumption with ADC active in Free Running mode.
