39.6 Peripherals Power Consumption

Use the table below to calculate the additional current consumption for the different I/O peripherals in various operating modes. Some peripherals will request the clock to be enabled when in STANDBY. Refer to the peripheral section for further information.

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 Power Consumption.
  2. Average power consumption with ADC active in Free Running mode.
