10.1.8.2 System Power Consumption in Applicative Use
Cases
Table 10-63 provides the processor power consumption in the
following conditions:
fCPU_CLK = 800 MHz
fMCK = 266 MHz
I & D caches enabled
External SDRAM memory: DDR3L operating at 266
MHz
Use cases are run on Linux
Current consumptions are measured according to
Figure 10-43. Note that external component
current consumptions are not counted. Either the 24-bit display or the 8-bit image
sensor is connected to the SAM9X7 Series device, but not both.
